What have you been doing, busy little bee?
Thanks for asking! Mostly, I’ve been busy at work, and with being a husband and father, and I was just in Wyoming, and…
…oh, wait. You’d probably rather hear about the updates to the site, wouldn’t you, good reader?
Well, you’re in luck! There’s been a few.
Firstly, I’ve updated the Joke Remakes section. I know, I know…the Ultima 6 section was the next one in line, and should have been done. And indeed, with a bit of luck, I may even get to it by the end of the week (although there are a number of…erm…large files that need to be uploaded). But in truth, I needed a bit of a change in pace, and I also wanted to experiment with the CSS a bit…and I figured that the Joke Remakes were a better test-bed for such adventures.
And in the process, I restored to working order those downloads.
What is more, and this with apologies to Chris Hopkins for the delay, there’s an entirely new joke remake available for download: Ultima IV Part 2: “Dude, Where’s My Avatar?”. In concert with this update, Hopkins’ Adventure Creation Kit has also been updated to its latest version (which is required to play his spoof). The DOSBox entry was also updated, for similar reasons.
Finally, I have added an entry for The Siege Perilous, the release of which was discussed in this news post. This is a pen-and-paper RPG that takes Ultima as its inspiration.
That’s all of what’s new for right now, good reader, but keep checking back; little by little, the site is getting back to full working order.[tags]Adventure Creation Kit,Ultima IV Part 2[/tags]
