Ryan William is attempting to build a website for a project idea he has, which has the descriptive title of “The Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds – Ultima IX: Ascension Restoration Project“. Not being particularly skilled with HTML, CSS, etc. himself, he has put out a call for assistance on the Ultima Dragons Facebook Group:

Hello, everyone. I’m trying to make a flyer, for both my LCS and online, to get help making my current project sites, as I don’t know HTML coding well enough. Could anyone here please help me make the “Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds – Ultima IX: Ascension Restoration Project” site (for my thetfcog.com webspace)? Here is my project and site-description from the flyer, as well as the link to the Transformers site I have, also on the flyer for help, that helps with my Ultima project site-description:

…

The point of this project is to correct all the flaws in the last 4 Ultima PC games: Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds, Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle/Silver Seed, Ultima VIII: Pagan, and Ultima IX: Ascension, and post the finished versions on the site for fans to download, play and enjoy.

It’s an ambitious-sounding project, though it is very much in the planning stages at this point. The actual website requirements are thus:

The needed site would have a black background with white text, and like the Transformers site at the top, would have a site/project description below the banner, and links on the left side, starting from the top: The Facebook group for fans to state their game-problems (name?), the staff one, and Links. To join the staff FB group, people will have to explain what they can contribute to the game-changing before joining. For the banner, it’ll be near the top (already made prototype: attached to this post). Above the banner, at the very top, will be smaller versions of the covers to each of the games, from first to last, left to right, each linking to a project-list page of updates to the game-hack, each eventually ending with a link to the game-hacked-download. The original version of Ultima VII: Part Two was originally just subtitled “Serpent Isle”, then an expanded-version came out later: “Ultima VII: Part Two: Serpent Isle/Silver Seed”, so I was thinking the original “Serpent Isle” cover and the “Silver Seed” update cover could be shown touching and linked together, left and right still, with the link-listing-work on the SI parts at top, and the SS stuff added below that. And all the other linking covers would have a space between them and these. The above game covers sizes would fit above the banner from the left to right evenly, with another also fitting at the end of the right just saying “Others”, in case we come up with patches for other Ultima games. The site would be made first (with each subpage being without the “.html” thing at the end of the URL, like the Transformers one has a problem with), then the FB fan-problems-list group where anyone can come, linking it all and it all can begin.”

If you’re keen to help out, head on over to Facebook and let Mr. William know!
