AgentOrangeGuy has been doing some map building here and there, concentrating on Serpents’ hold, currently working on the keep.  He will be doing some usecode and adding a few things here and there on the map, specifically to tie up loose ends from U5. Such as, have you ever wondered what happened to the Oppression after Blackthorn was banished? What happened to some of the buildings? The walls around towns?  Also, you’ll find out just why Horance is there in Skara Brae in the first place…To be continued…

My last weeks work has been dedicated to the beta testing of the new Queton side quest in Skara Brae. AgentOrgangeGuy has nicely put together a new side quest to tie up the loose ends which haunt the original Ultima VI plot. I shan’t say anymore as I don’t want to spoil it for you.

AgentOrgangeGuy (a part from the massive work in the Quenton side quest) has been fixing rivers, shrines, general map work and fine tuning his “brawl engine”.

Other news, we have a new member, Odkin, who is touching up all the portraits to match the quality of those in Serpents Isle. Hopefully we can convince him to help out with the intro and end game graphics too. Check out some of his work so far. Absolutely stunning. Don’t forget to check out the new screenshots in the screenshot section too.

Hats off to AgentOrgangeGuy as this week his tinkering with the usecode has led to a true to Ultima VI brawl engine. In Jhelom the NPC’s start brawling at 9pm or when you ask a few of them about the rat/mouse, as they disagree  with each other they start to brawl.

Apart from that he has also fixed a few NPC schedules in Lord British’s castle, moved a a couple of shrines that were out of place, general map cleaning and is still slogging away at the NPC conversation usecode.

I’ve been mainly working on NPC conversions this week, concentrating on Serpents Hold.

Well its been a busy week. AgentOrangeGuy has been slogging away at the usecode this including a nearly finished new Quenton side quest to tie up loose ends in the original quest line.  He has also been getting the NPC schedules readjusted for the new building structures, moving the remaining stuff back into the building fountains and general map work.

I’ve been concentrating this weeks work on world building. Tidying up the coastline, forrest of Yew, Mountains and swamp areas around Britannia. Things seems to be going along quiet smoothly. AgentOrangeGuy has located someone to touch up the original U6 portraits. Looks promising and would be nice to have maybe a SI style portrait instead?

Here is a screenshot of the current state of the world build. Still needs work to get it up to a release standard but as you cans see a lot of work has been done.

Did some heavy map work this weekend. finished moving Britain and Cove onto the new foundations and fixed the foundations for Jhelom,Trinsic, and Buccaneer’s Den, just have to move those (buildings and such) onto the new foundations.  I have Serpent’s Hold foundation done, I just have to build the houses and put the NPC’s there now which will probably be my next job after moving the old stuff onto the new foundations.   -agentorangeguy
