The new material system is finally humming away. Apart from improved batching and faster scenes, one of the best features has to be support for Physically Based Shading in Unity 5. Obviously Daggerfall can’t take full advantage just yet, those tiny textures are never going to cut it. But with the Standard shader now… well, standard, those of you with an artistic mind can start authoring high quality materials to take advantage of everything Unity has on offer. Combine physically based materials with some higher quality models and there might come a time when Daggerfall could be genuinely breathtaking.
In the meantime, here’s an Ultra HD screenshot taken from on top of Castle Daggerfall. There’s a little SSAO, bloom, and some global fog thrown in for good measure. Click for full size.
Nice work idk that somebody was working on daggerfall, when u planing to release?
Next release will be out in a few days. Please keep in mind this is not a remake of Daggerfall, it’s a suite of tools for using Daggerfall content inside of Unity3D. The goal is to enable the creation of not just a Daggerfall remake, but games in a similar style. The FAQ below should answer most questions.

If you’re interested in what people are already doing with the tools, have a look at the recent mod showcase video. These are all creations from other developers working with the base tools.

There are others devs working on building gameplay systems (quests, etc.) but it will be a while before these are ready to show off.
