Argentrock Isle's town structures are fully built (including the additional buildings), although interior decoration still has work to do. But that's a later phase of development.
Big milestone though, as this means all 3 vanilla towns are built!

We implemented Oblivion-style radiant dialog in Ultima 7. NPCs can spot when they're near literally any other NPC, and go up to them and have an Oblivion style brief exchange, with greetings, a couple of lines of dialog, and a farewell. It's fully dynamic.

Ok, here's some pics of Argentrock Isle which is now under construction. Today, you get pics of Stellos' house, both the original version, and the Ultima 8: Exult version.

With The Lost Vale, we are working with Sheri to ensure that our implementation of it in U8 Exult is as authentic as we can make it.
This means we will avoid adding things and making new creative decisions any time we don't have to. With all its flaws, you'll play Lost Vale as it was, mostly.

ULTIMA 8: EXULT UPDATE:
-Sheri Graner Ray, the main mind behind The Lost Vale gave us a map sketch!
-Tenebrae's named NPCs are now in!
-TheGrayWanderer, is hard at work developing our dialog code.
-We now have a private github repository. Once we have releases, it will all be fully open sourced.

Something new, originally planned but unseen in the original Ultima 8, is under construction in Tenebrae, north of the palace. What could it be?

Ultima 8: Exult update:
The Tenebrae city walls are complete after an agonizingly long, painstaking process.
Now there are only 3 buildings left in Tenebrae to build out in the structural phase.
The environment, foliage etc looks plain since that all comes later.
Pics are of course WIP.

Ultima 8: Exult update.
I spent 8 hours straight building the southern half of the Tenebrae city wall.
Designing it to look exactly the same with the same proportions. It was brutal and painstakingly slow to make it look authentic.

Ultima 8: Exult is coming along pretty nicely!
Tenebrae's structural pass, where we build all the facades and basic architecture, is almost done. It's looking fantastic already. East Tenebrae, and the city walls need to be finished.
And yes, we need to build the city park with the Hydros shrine.

Some buildings from East Tenebrae in Ultima 8: Exult. Darion's house and his training hall, now separate buildings as in the original Tenebrae map. Tarna's house, now featuring an armory room. And that weird lake building that was unused due to the game being unfinished.

Work on East Tenebrae has begun. Aramina's house is built, now moving on to Darion's house and training hall!
Which, as we are having some influence from an earlier, bigger version of the Tenebrae map, means Darion's training hall is actually a building across the road!
The map is attached!

There hasn't been an update on my Ultima 8: Pagan remake in a while as I was on vacation and having a wedding. So here's an update!
Building out the world for U8: Exult, or Pagan: Exulted Edition as I like to call it has been fun. I can officially confirm it will, however, be OPEN WORLD.

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.
As you may know, my wife is making a roguelike game! Legendary Ultima artist Denis Loubet has done the cover art and so we are closing the Kickstarter to late pledges next week. Last chance to be assured loot like a metal ankh, SIGNED Loubet print and cloth map!
