XWVM navigates the space that lies above the literal port of the original engine to modern hardware, but below the full on remake or reimagination.
XWVM is the recreation of the infrastructure that runs the original missions, campaigns and cutscenes, and 3D models from scratch, (atop of the Unity game engine). As such, you need to own the original game, because XWVM is just an app that contains no gameplay elements or game assets other than some stuff that we had to make to support some new features.
At the same time, XWVM aims to rework, refine, restore, or reimagine some components of the original to make the game more appropriate for contemporary times. We have added new ways to interact with the game, to look at the game, to listen to the game, and to customize the game.
As some of us like to say, XWVM is a facilitator program that allows you to play the original games not as it was, but as we remember it being.
