Well, it would seem I haven’t checked in on the progress Kevin Fishburne has been making on his Ultima-inspired, PvE MMORPG, Sanctimonia since…er…January. Which is both embarrassing and unacceptable, but mostly the latter. So let’s see what he’s been up to since then. It looks like he spent much of January working on his block persistent world objects and related architectural features:

And here are a couple images of his work on the above-mentioned battlements:

Battlements required still yet more work, but that didn’t keep Kevin from looking forward to his next asset development goal:

Right, back to the battlements (so to speak):

More images:

He also released a new sound effect toward the end of January:

Which brings us to February, in which month Kevin decided to focus his energies on a different aspect of the game for a while:

He was soon back to tinkering with world objects, however:

He also came up with a sweet new background for his Twitter page, which he of course released for all and sundry to use. (You can also grab a slightly less space-intensive JPEG version of the image at the top of this article.)

March saw Kevin continuing his work on world objects:

Sanctimonia’s architectural system also grew somewhat, with the addition of the ability to furnish one’s dwelling:

That’s…not a claim to be made idly, is it?

He also set himself up a discussion area of sorts:

And after a bit of work on the game’s camera system, Kevin was back at work on walls and objects:

That would be ew.

And as for this month…

Looks like he got a bit of help on his question about the hinges, above:

So, that was his last tweet as of this writing, which means we are now all caught up on Sanctimonia. The project, of course, seems to be in good health, and Kevin continues to improve it at a stunningly rapid pace.

    What’s truly embarrassing and unacceptable is that so few have made Ultima Music Videos. AMV is a term unto itself, but UMV? The Space Bards video is the gold standard from what I’ve seen so far, but we need more. Here’s mine, though without original music so it’s more like a traditional AMV but with Ultima:

    I challenge all Ultima fans who are able to mix videos of Ultima and music and produce more UMV’s. Let Gundam fans quake at the prospect of their videos being overrun by Ultima!
