Happy Easter

8th April 2007 by Dino

Some news from the Ultima community on Easter Sunday:

• Sixteen new screenshots of Lost Sosaria have been released.
• Withstand the Fury Dragon posted some heartfelt well-wishings at both Lost Sosaria and Aiera.
• Voyager Dragon at Ultima: The Reconstruction posted a quick update to let us know that he's still alive.
• Thepal at Infinity Eternal did pretty much the same.
• The latest progress of Ophidian Dragon's journey has taken him to the hideout of Phoenix deep below Castle British, and to the wreckage of the ship "Empire". He also joined the Thieves' Guild and the guild in Minoc, and cleansed the Shrine of Sacrifice.

I am pleased to report that my free-time Ultima 1 project has progressed from tile viewer to map viewer. Today I implemented basic scaling of tiles and also made the map viewer. There are four new screenshots at the discussion area of Dino's Ultima Page. Of course there are a few little bugs, like towns are appearing as signs and dungeons are appearing as towns, but that won't be too hard to fix.

I have very little spare time and therefore work on this Ultima 1 project is almost at a halt (until I have more time). This doesn't concern me much because I never claimed I'd have achieved anything with it. Maybe one day it will evolve into an Ultima 1 engine like Exult is for Ultima 7; maybe it will be moddable and even playable online... or maybe not. I simply don't promise anything with this little project, and for me any progress is more than I originally expected.
