This is a mod for Exult (with the release of Exult Studio, expect these to become more and more common) that seeks to merge The Black Gate and Serpent Isle into one seamless narrative. Additionally, it will feature a third continent — the Lands of the Feudal Lords — and a series of quests that the Avatar and his/her party must complete there.
This is an ambitious remake (and also a spin-off, within the technical definition of the term), to be sure! In addition to the expanded narrative, the developers plan to re-introduce the Virtues to the lands of Ultima (i.e. the Avatar will once again be able to interact with the Shrines). As well, they plan to overhaul the spellcasting system and enable party members to wield spellbooks.
The alpha release of The Feudal Lands is now available, and can be obtained by downloading one of the four files listed above. There is a Windows installer file, which provides a standard wizard-based installation method for the mod (as long as you have Exult installed, it should work just fine).
Also available is a compressed archive of the entire TFL file repository available as either a Windows self-expanding archive or GZIPped TAR file. Grab the one appropriate to your OS and unzip it into the ‘mods’ folder in the install directory for The Black Gate.
Just finished Black Gate and the game stopped. Is that meant to happen? Is the seamless transition to SI not implemented yet?
So, where did it go? Website now a dead link. Bummer.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard from the developer. Like many other solo-developer projects, this one may have petered out and been abandoned.
Too bad. Looked like an ambitious project. Did the alpha version work?
It did at the time. And it may still, though I don’t know if the changes to Exult between then and now will have affected its functionality any.
