After battling through some severe computer-related issues, Scythifuge has managed to restore stability to his digital life, and he’s ready to resume work on his Exult-based remake of Savage Empire.

And he’d like some assistance bringing the project to fruition:

I am seeking people who can script in Exult Studio, artists who can finish up frames based on sprites that I provide (which really frees up my time so that I can work on more original sprites) & people who can study Exult Studio & help me implement things that I KNOW can happen based on logic & years of personal experience playing Ultima VII OVER & OVER again….

We have bamboo that must be chopped, harvested & kiln dried by the player so that he/she can fashion the bamboo tube into a primitive flintlock ONCE Dr. Rafkin teaches the player how to do it in the lab. Or, Dr. Rafkin will do it provided that he has the kiln dried tube & is in his lab. Either way works for me. We can even go as far as requiring other items such as copper & flint for this to work. Oh, & the bamboo must be able to regrow frame by frame over time.

On earth before leaving for the museum, the Avatar is at home. I have frames for a toilet, sink, bathtub, ceiling fan, stove, etc. that need to have interactive functionality to use. Since E.S. utilizes UVII’s files, I am taking the world interactivity to the extreme. I already have many animations with more to come as I finish, tweak or otherwise complete them with many more to go.

If you’ve any experience, Dragons and Dragonettes, of the kind he outlines, do consider dropping him a line. He drops by the site infrequently, but you can send him a private message, or leave a comment here to make yourself known. Or, if you’re on Facebook, hit up his “help wanted” post and make yourself known in the comments there!
