Zygon Dragon posted his January update for the Ultima VI Remake for Exult.

Crowley has been busy and finished a few custom shapes such as the Yew staff. The Yew staff can be equipped and used in combat as a normal staff. He’s finished a few different colours of the Yew staff also that will correspond to what type of spell the staff will be charged with.

Sythifuge has been working on a Hydra shape and a grave shape to contribute to the mod.

AgentOrangeGuy has been working on a few usecode things, finished the Spider cave, Moonglow crypts except the last level, and will be working on a few side quests. Mandrake and his mishaps with the stones of virtue…

ZygonDragon has been cleaning up the mountains and forests around Britain. Still quiet a bit of map work to go but we’re getting closer to an official release.

He also posted some wonderful before and after screenshots from the original Ultima VI and their new version using Exult. Check them out! There’s a lot of great work going into this project, and everything seems to be progressing rapidly.

I personally can’t wait to get my hands on their first release! I wonder what kind of new quests they have planned, and how Ultima fans feel about changes to the original Ultima VI? I personally feel, if done well, it could add a lot of life and fun to the game.
