On one hand, it sounds like any other MMORPG, albeit with a toolkit allowing modest amounts of player-generated content to be incorporated into the larger game. On the other hand…is this something?
A Neverwinter Nights 2-based remake of Black Isle’s Icewind Dale has been released. It isn’t just Ultima games getting remade!
Moa Dragon has posted an update to the Eriadain blog, in which he laments that he will likely be unable to complete the project without help.
One of the first Ultima 9 remakes, which stopped development before achieving a demo release, has been rebooted by its original developer using the Neverwinter Nights 2 engine. And yes, it’s still based on the Bob White Plot.
Team Return are looking for someone who can craft some very familiar-looking, Ultima-esque interface elements for use when opening chests and searching bodies in the game.
The Ultima Return development team has been keeping busy in the last month, publishing new systems and completing NPC dialogue.
