Exult is free, non-commercial and open-source

10

Exult is a free, open-source fan project; it also lets users play games created by others for the Exult engine. The thing that's closed-source/commercial is Ultima VII, which provides the files Exult relies on for music, images, and so forth.

The one issue is that the Exult team stopped including Linux when compiling binaries back in 2004, and all of the Linux distros I've checked are evidently waiting for a binary to be released, as they haven't updated their repos since then. All add-ons (some of which make drastic improvements or additions) and other games require Exult 1.4 at the least; the last Linux binary was 1.2.

  • 09:03:39 you caught me.
  • 15:27:36 Thanks, berserk, added the game & screens
  • 16:20:04 BTW, one more interesting Kickstarter project: [url]
  • 16:20:29 Linux version requires 100K donations
  • 16:21:25 not that much for a good looking RPG in my opinion
  • 10:56:58 Upd: authors said that Linux port will be released anyway, even if they don't gather 100K, so feel free to support it
