Cool, thanks for your reply.
I understand and will patiently wait :)
It´s just that the first 15 minutes I played almost seemed like a finished product so I started wondering.
Will follow this thread and am looking forward to what´s to come.

Still working on this. I tend to post infrequent updates on the Systemshock.org thread so you can check out there for fuller summaries of where I am with it. Suffice to say I am very very close to a beta release that requires the user to have the original game files.

Cross posting from the other thread on systemshock.org:
I've just published to Github a zip file containing all you need to be able to play UW1 in Unity
There are instructions in the zip file on how to point the game at your game files. You will require the commercial release of UW1. See the attached readme for more info.

Your honest feedback is welcome. Please note however that "gameplay" is still a work in progress.
I will attempt to upload the development environment tomorrow night for anyone who wants to pull that apart.
PS
This project would not be possible without the trailblazing work of Blue Sky Software (LookingGlass Studios) and the various teams that dug deep into the file formats of the Underworld and Shock games. If you post or lurk here thanks. See the code credits.txt file for some specific examples where I used code from earlier projects.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to trying this out over the weekend.

Very cool. The dosbox sb emulation never did cut it unfortunately. I went back to playing UW1&2 on an old computer with the original SB 16 card and desktop speakers for a number of years. There was something magical about the sound as it bought back my initial feelings of amazement about the game.
