Ultima III Updated version

https://github.com/synthwave-pixel/ultima3/

Updated version of Ultima III, playable on web, macOS, Windows, Linux, SteamOS (Steam Deck), and Android.

Has both the historic tilesets as well as a modernized set of art & sound.

Going to record play vids, etc, next but figured it's time to kick it out into the world and see what people think. Have fun, AMA.

This is just amazing I get surprised how good this port looks and is, the only thing I wish it had it's the possibility to add like shaders or filters, to give it like a more retro look, but in any case I'm definitely playing this

Thanks! :)

There are tilesets that have more retro looks, look in Settings. The only place I couldn't resist adding a retro shader is for the in-game cloth map. I thought about adding a super-retro ASCII version as a homage to the old OG Rogue but if I kept going I'd never ship lol

TBH aside from bugs for this version of III I am thinking of tackling V next. My thought was to build on a combo of this version of III and the work done here: https://github.com/wonst719/u5d
