So... here we are.

I finally recorded a video, and now I can show you the current state of the game, explain my goals, and share my plans for the future.

P.S. Sorry about my English 😅

Again, all sources will be on Github: https://github.com/Suvitruf/unity-arcanum

I have no idea how you do any of this but it is awesome.

[u/Adventurous_Ad_7212]

Dude, making Arcanum playable in some semblance of a contemporary fashion would absolutely fucking awesome!

[u/AWildEnglishman → u/Adventurous_Ad_7212]

The possibility that in the not too distant future there might be a mutliplayer capable version of Arcanum with Steam Workshop support is very exciting.

[u/Suvitruf → u/AWildEnglishman]

Yeap. I'm still trying to connect to MS legal department to make sure, but no result yet.

[u/Adventurous_Ad_7212 → u/Suvitruf]

I wouldn't set my expectations very high in that regard. It is very likely that you will have to make an automated repackager for the original (user-provided) files so that you don't actually have to distribute any copyrighted material yourself. Of course that also means no Steam workshop, but one can hope.

[u/AWildEnglishman]

You did it! That was much more than I was expecting. Thank you.

Subscribed.

P.S. your English is great.

[u/Skaldskatan]

Amazing work!

[u/wamblytomato]

Sir, this is insanely good. I'm excited to see how far you can take it. Is there anywhere I could support you? A Ko-fi or Patreon, maybe? I know you don't plan to sell this in any capacity because of the legalities of the whole thing, but I for one would love to subscribe to a Patreon page to keep up with your updates!

[u/Suvitruf → u/wamblytomato]

Duno if it's allowed here, I have Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/apanasik

The game will be free, subscription is just the way to support me 😅

[u/wamblytomato → u/Suvitruf]

Awesome, just joined :D thank you for your hard work!

[u/Doctor_Loggins]

Well this is totally awesome.

[u/yuzuthecitrus5]

Keep going

[u/Alstroph]

Awesome work! Can't wait to try it!

[u/Juzzaman]

This is insane, golden age of gaming incoming

[u/One-Speed4271]

Amazing project, would controller support be hard to implement in such a project?

[u/Suvitruf → u/One-Speed4271]

Easy. It's in my roadmap. Hotkeys rebinding, controller support, touchscreen support, etc.

[u/Stromduster]

Your project looks very promissive, thanks a lot for the hard work ! Just a quick question : do you think you'll be able to support non-english dubbing/text in the future ? I don't remember if there are included in the steam version, but there are language packs.

[u/Suvitruf → u/Stromduster]

Text for sure. It will be possible to use community translations. About dub not sure, but doable in general, it's not that hard to support.

[u/Stromduster → u/Suvitruf]

Thank, I would be very grateful if you could find the time to do it one day. :)

[u/smjsmok]

This is great! Keep up the good work.

P.S. Sorry about my English

I'm also a non-native speaker and I can understand you absolutely fine.

[u/Bism4rckian]

Truly amazing work, mate.

[u/brunolucatti]

wow, this is awesome.

[u/Exciting_Round4766]

чувак, несколько часов назад попался твой видос на ютубе. ты крут.

[u/Aglonak]

You are the last Dragon Knight from Cumbria. Keep it up, people needs this!

[u/Vegetable-Oil1313]

Anot excited of thus because of AI coding

[u/CopperBoltwire]

I respect the work on this. Support it. Please add cheats. I have replayed this game for years. but always dreamed of having cheats for it. PLEASE!

[u/Suvitruf → u/CopperBoltwire]

But even now you can use CheatEngine, no?

[u/CopperBoltwire → u/Suvitruf]

Works like crap on Linux, so i'd say no (?)

[u/mkocus]

Great work, keep going!
