This appears to be a remake of Ultima 3, using Java to build a new UI for it.

At present, the developer has released three videos showcasing his work on the project. The first briefly introduces the project, describing it as a “for fun” effort. The second demonstrates continued development on the UI, including the introduction of a flatter design in keeping with UI styles of Windows 8 and 10. And in the third video, we actually get a progress update:

Just finished merchants. At the end I unspaghettied the code for when I make changes in the future to polish it. Coded up a firing test so enabled you to be able to fire by default to test. My coding is getting good again. Worked 1st compile… well mostly watch what happens. I upped the volume but its on a train after all so just noise, but the graphics are um… interesting. It “almost” works. 10 minutes coding for the fire effect and its a “blast”. But no the basics of the code is not a 10 minute job…. its a long labor of love of coding.

For those of you that love Ultima 3, this may be an interesting project to follow. For now, I’ve put together a stub project entry, which hopefully I can one day populate with…more.
