Back to Roots, another Ultima-inspired (and Ultima-compatible) game engine project, posted a couple of updates early on in March, which I had missed noticing until just now.
NorwegianRockCat, from the xu4 development team, has released a trailer for the (currently iPad-only) iOS port of xu4, the cross-platform Ultima 4 engine.
Sergorn Dragon’s French-language Ultima news and information site, La Légende d’Ultima, is back online, at least somewhat.
The article I wrote concerning Ultima 4, copyright, and EA’s recent spate of DMCA actions against certain Ultima 4 remakes has attracted a lot of traffic, and a lot of misinformation has been thrown around in its wake. I attempt to offer corrections.
xu4’s most recent snapshots for Windows and Mac OS X have added support for the new VGA2 tileset for Ultima 4.
Is Ultima 4 freeware? We, the Ultima fandom, have thought so for some time, but the truth of the matter is rather more complicated. And EA has finally taken notice, which has had some unfortunate consequences.
