I backed this on Kickstarter and it's shaping up to be great! As always, a great piece of art from Denis Loubet as well.

We are implementing the ability to climb in Ultima 7! The proof of concept is in and works, just need to work out 1-2 last things.

Our team member theGreyWanderer has returned, hard at work implementing magic focuses for spell schools!

Very happy to say Lord British, Richard Garriott @richardgarriott.bsky.social gave his blessing for Ultima 8 Exult. This means a lot to us because, even though he may not own the rights to Ultima right now, he is still its creator. To know he's both aware of us and supportive means the world!

Agentorangeguy assisted me to totally overhaul the basic usecode & headers so that the code fundamentals of U8 Exult are all in order. For many, this is a boring and uninteresting piece of news, but it's a big step forward. Also, the initial conversation with Devon is pretty much fully implemented.

Day 8: Every day I will tag @jay.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @bsky.app and @safety.bsky.app to let them know that @richardgarriott.bsky.social is not an impersonator account. Maybe they took the holidays off, which is great, but how about addressing this now? #FreeLordBritish

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

Happy 2025, friends! Ultima 8: Exult became official in September, a s hort break on work during Christmas & new year. 2025 will be the first full year of work on U8 Exult, or Pagan: Exulted Edition as I like to call it. Building out the full Sorceror's Enclave now!

Those random snippets of things you hear people say walking in public. I walked past 2 elderly women and one of them said to the other: "It's like a serious democracy class"

The basic layout of Tenebrae in Ultima 8: Exult has been altered to be more in line with the official cloth map of Pagan. So it's a bit more open. However, we recently found this design map of Tenebrae on the Codex. Thinking of using elements from it to tweak the Tenebrae layout further. Thoughts?

When The Guardian finds the Avatar floating in the ether, he is wearing the Serpent Armor. And yet when The Guardian drops him into Pagan it seems as if The Guardian has decided to change the Avatar's clothes. Ultima 8 Exult will fix this with visual continuity in the armor. Here's a sneak preview!

Thanks to agentorangeguy, we have a way to jump in Ultima 7 now. Will it be implemented in U8 Exult? Probably, but the dungeons will not be built around jumping like they were in the OG game.

Jon Hamm is so damn entertaining. I saw him in Curb Your Enthusiasm tailing Larry and instantly became a huge fan.
