Brent “Terrormaster” Stewart posted a pair of images to the Ultima Dragons Google+ page today, announcing a new Ultima-themed (or inspired?) project based on the world of Ultima 3…mostly. Because you see, Terrormaster has also noted the similarities between the map of Sosaria circa Ultima 3 and the map of New Britannia released to promote Shroud of the Avatar.

No this is not Unhallowed Kingdoms (which I’ll get back to one day but probably not until this and Legend of the Avatar are done). This is a recent project that takes on Ultima 3 so to speak. Figured I’d work on something a little bit smaller and more scaled for a bit (Legend of the Avatar is pretty huge and I needed a break). Yes the map is a combination of the classic U3 Sosaria, the world map from Shroud of the Avatar, and some additional tweaks here and there. I got the whole thing into RPG Maker 2000 over the last 3-4 days. Just gotta start building town maps and tying it all together.

He has posted a pair of images demonstrating his work thus far, including a view of the entire map and a zoomed-in look at the Castle British region:

It looks like an interesting project, and hopefully we’ll know more about the project soon. Once we do, I’ll set up an appropriate project entry for it!
