Pagan overworld maps (and more)

30th January 2011 by Dino

In an update to Pagan - The Beautiful, Julio Siqueira has added three videos [1, 2, 3] showing the world of Pagan. There are also some new composite maps of the whole of Pagan - a pretty awesome undertaking.

Sergorn Dragon finished his playthrough of Ultima ("Ultima Adventures") a few months ago. Now he has posted about the future of the blog. Its aim has been fulfilled, but Sergorn may yet visit other Ultima ports or related games.

Wizardry Dragon at The Feudal Lands is still appealing for people to join his project.

Progress at Forgotten World is never slowing lately, and now Firstknight has released U9BB.EXE, an executable which allows playing Ultima 9 without fog. This is shown by the latest awesome screenshot and other Beautiful Britannia screenshots.

In Ultima 6 Online, a boat carrying abominations from Sutek's castle apparently crashed into Britanny Bay, causing terror among the citizens of Britain.

Sergorn and the team at Return to the Serpent Isle have released the Ultima Game System for NWN2, which is a collection of game systems that are essential in the making of any Ultima remake based on NWN2. Team Return also report other news on various fronts, including NPCs and worldbuilding. As always, they would benefit from new team members, especially 3D artists.

More news from Aiera:

• Added and updated: Ultima textures for Minecraft.
