“Ultima 8: Exult”: The Walls of Tenebrae

Ideal Dragon has been taking a short summer break, but just before doing so he posted some new images to the Ultima 8: Exult channel on the Ultima Dragons Discord server:

Spent 8 hours building the southern part of the Tenebrae city wall. Designing it to look exactly the same with the same proportions. It was brutal and painstakingly slow to make it look authentic.

As you can imagine, Ideal struggled mightily to design wall segments with proper proportions that could be easily — that word might be doing some heavy lifting — copied and pasted. The fact that the walls are also three Z-levels tall within the Exult engine added an additional challenge in terms of their design and placement.

Still, the results are nothing short of incredible.
