XL Engine

[AdamantC]

The XL engine (formally DaggerXL and DarkXL) is a scratch built modern engine for Star Wars Dark Forces and TES2: Daggerfall, with eventual support for Outlaws and Blood down the line.

The goal of the project is to offer modern software and hardware acceleration/features and mod tools.

Daggerfall support is currently in pre-alpha with Dark Forces in late alpha. Please note you do need the original game files. So check it out all ready, it's freakin' awesome!

Seems like a whole lot of work for nothing. The graphics don't even look improved all that much. If you're going to spend a bunch of time trying to make very old games have better graphics, why only bump them up slightly?

I thought it was more to have them play nice with new hardware. Making them look better is just a bonus.

I see. Well then I guess it's not completely pointless
