Ultima 6 Project Update

RPGWatch offers a status update for the Ultima 6 project as it approaches Milestone 5.
The Ultima 6 Project team has been busy expanding the world of Britannia, and adding new content to the game in preparation for the upcoming Milestone 5 (M5) release. The plans are to have most of the entire overworld more or less complete, with most of it playable and accessible. Another four towns have been added since the Milestone 4 (M4) release, complete with townspeople, for players to explore and interact with. New Magincia, Jhelom, Moonglow, and Skara Brae are now in the game, as is the keep of Nicodemus the Mage. Trinsic is nearly complete, and the Lycaeum is currently in work. In the following paragraphs, you'll find some previews of Moonglow, Nicodemus' really cool keep, and Skara Brae.

The world builders have been doing a fantastic job the towns are very richly detailed, they look great, and are really fun to explore. The 1st screen shot below is of Moonglow, and shows the Avatar's Party entering the town from the docks. The 2nd screen shot is of Penumbra's work room, and if you've played the original Ultima 6 game, you'll find that it is very much in the spirit of the original (with of course, greatly improved graphics).
