The latest update posted to the Underworld Ascendant Kickstarter page contains all sorts of fascinating details, including examples and discussions of the game’s Improvisation Engine, the factions that populate the Abyss, and the dynamic nature of the Abyss’ ecology. If you’re hungry for technical details, you’ll certainly want to give these sections of the update a read.

And there’s also this:

We are pleased as punch to announce that Denis Loubet will be contributing his legendary artistic talents to Underworld Ascendant. Denis illustrated the box covers of every classic Ultima game, including the Ultima Underworlds! He will be doing the illustration for the COLLECTOR’s EDITION of our game box, as well as other art for the game.

First Shroud of the Avatar, now Underworld Ascendant…it would seem that Denis Loubet is, truly, never that far from the artwork of Ultima, or what follows from it in spirit.
