Josh Steele Is Working On His Ultima 4 Tileset Again
Josh Steele drew up this alternate set of tiles for Ultima 4 almost twenty years ago, first in 16 colours, and then again in 256 colours. Apparently, it has enjoyed use in a few fan-made games, though the set was only released publicly a few years ago.
The set is incomplete, but Steele — as of early 2017 — has been working on finishing up the remaining tiles:
It is time to finish this project I’ve been working on for 20 years. Hopefully one a day to the full set.
You can follow Steele’s progress at the tileset’s GitHub page. Since late April, he has added or updated the following tiles:
- giant squid
- nixie
- twister
- cyclops
- rogue
- ruins
- shrine
- attack flash
- bull
- chest
- mimic
- ankh
- gazer
- wisp
You can download the tileset — still a work in progress — from said GitHub page, or from the project entry here at the Codex.
OH HELL YEAH!! I have been waiting to see this for a while now. Huge fan from his early ultima 4 tiles to the next and next.
No download link is working to see the progress. Oh well….. maybe when finished.
