Pentagram is a series of games, since these games share the engine. This effort is already partially underway.

The goal of the project is similar to Exult (the engine re-implementation effort for Ultima VII ); in fact, many of Pentagram developers have worked on Exult before.

At the moment, the project has not produced a formal release. The source code is available from SourceForge as snapshots and through Concurrent Versioning System.

The s work as expected. Animations, sound effects, and intro sequence works, as does the in-game menu, credits display and quotes display. Monster behavior and combat remains rudimentary, the code lacks optimizations and outputs a lot of debug information which may interfere with gameplay. Also, saved games break frequently when upgrading the game.

Pentagram features implemented so far that original Ultima VIII didn t have:

Some of Pentagram s features, such as the audio subsystem, have been ported to Exult.
