Buried in the middle of an otherwise fairly standard update is this little gem:

Direhaggis: I’m not going to get too ecstatic about it…but…I am about 10 hours away from finishing writing the main plot. I just need to do the last few scenes, the ‘main’ ending, and then that is that. I’m also working with Zini to write tutorials for all of the skills that can be done in game. The alchemy skill is pretty cool, for instance.

The Titans have made impressive progress, and it’s nice to see hints emerging that their ambitious re-invention of Ultima 9 is approaching its final stages of development. Direhaggis’ prefacing comments can probably be taken as an indicator that we shouldn’t expect a release announcement anytime too soon, although I wonder if the project’s status tracker has been updated to reflect the above-mentioned progress on the plot?

The Titans are also looking for Interior Worldbuilders and Writers.
