In a short news posting at the Forgotten World website, Firstknight announces that his project, Beautiful Britannia, will be somewhat delayed:

Because of some serious troubles I had lately to find enough time for BB (and this will not change so soon), I have to delay the next release of “Beautiful BritannÌa” for about 3 to 6 month!

And why not simply releasing the current content then ?
Because about 40% of the terrain textures still unfinished, which ends in a mix of old and new terrain textures atm.

As soon as I’m able to made some noteworthy progress with this next release, I will tell it both here and on my project page on Ultima:Aiera.

So. thanks for your patience, and please don’t forget to look onto the page from time to time, Iceblade makes some good progress with creating Tools for “Forgotten World” lately, as the good reader can find out here easily.

We’re all sorry to see this promising project suffer a slowdown, but such is the nature of life at times. Most of us aren’t getting paid for the work we do, and the things we are doing to get paid sometimes consume all the spare time we have.

Beautiful Britannia will be back; rest assured of that. And when it returns, it will likely have benefitted greatly from all the insane developments that the Forgotten World team keep making. And that, as the lady says, is a good thing.
