Nuvie: HiPhish’s Custom Paperdolls Added to Builds

Those of you that follow the Nuvie changelog may have noticed this update from a few days ago:

* Changed doll gump image background to transparent.
* Added HiPhish’s new doll gump artwork.

MalignantManor also made a couple of changes a day or two later:

* Add HiPhish’s updated Sherry doll.
* Fix pink pixel in Dupre’s doll and make it transparent.

In other words, HiPhish’s excellent paperdolls for the cast of potentnial companions in Ultima 6 have been incorporated into the main Nuvie codebase as assets; they’ll be included with future builds of the engine.

New hotness.

New hotness.

And as an added bonus, as of yesterday, the custom paperdolls are supported in both the full-screen and standard views that Nuvie offers. An option has been added to the engine’s configuration file to allow users to choose between the new custom graphics or the standard paperdolls. To date, nine of the fifteen companions have been fully implemented, and HiPhish will continue working to get artwork for the remaining companions ready.

Oh, and Natreg Dragon…you guessed the order of companions in the above image correctly. Congratulations, and good eye!

And both congratulations and thanks to HiPhish. A great contribution to a great fan project, to be sure!
