Zygon Dragon has posted a short update to The Ultima 6 Remake’s project site, accompanied by a handful of screenshots:

Buccaneer’s Den is finished with all NPC’s functioning correctly with conversations, and just needs updated portraits. The late night brawling will be added soon as with Jhelom. Minoc is finished with NPCs (they just need portraits) with the exception of the lady who makes the balloon.. Serpents Hold npcs are almost finished.

Crowley has been working on various new shapes, concentrating on completing the giant ant, a new look for Blaine, and other things. The balloon will probably be the next big thing to tackle, but it is still in planning stages.

Also, there has been some random touching up of areas on the map. Most of the map is complete and just needs touching up.

Here’s wishing them luck in getting the balloon working! One can only imagine it will be something of a challenge!

Otherwise, though, the project continues to sound as though it is in good health, and appears to be progressing quite smoothly.
