epdaily Previews Ultima Forever, Interviews Paul Barnett

epdaily has published a video preview of Ultima Forever, which also features a short interview with Mythic Entertainment’s studio GM, Paul Barnett:

There really isn’t any significantly new information about the game that comes out in the course of the discssion between Barnett and epdaily’s Victor Lucas, but we learn a bit about the genesis of the Ultima Forever concept, from Paul Barnett’s initial desire to make a Facebook fishing game, through BioWare’s influence on its story, to its re-working as an iOS app.

Oh, and we get a few snippets of gameplay, of course.

    “Make sure it’s under 50 MB”. Wow. Fortunately I’m sure it survived larger than that.

    Nice phone. I have three Linux desktops (one a server) and one Android phone that’s respectable, but don’t know if Ultima Forever is compatible without rooting things. I enjoy not using Microsoft or Apple products, so I filter a lot of restrictive programs and media by default. If it runs on Linux they should create an installer and submit it to Steam, touting it as a “cross platform” version (has Linux flag or whatever they use). 1.6% of market if the game’s proper can earn some money, especially with good will.

      Let’s just wait and see how the Android port works out first. And the PC port thereafter. Then we can hypothesize about what platforms they might target next.
