Check Out DragunBreath's Custom "#Ultima 6" Character Sprites #Ultima6 #Nuvie #tileset

If you weren’t previously aware, Nuvie — the cross-platform engine for Ultima 6 — supports the addition of custom tilesets and custom character sprites. Recently, someone with the handle DragunBreath reached out to the Codex with news of some new character sprites they had produced for use with Nuvie. You can see a few of them in action in the screenshot above; DragunBreath’s tileset includes…

#Nuvie: Support for Exporting and Importing Tilesets Added #Ultima #Ultima6 #MartianDreams #SavageEmpire

[full_width][/full_width] There’s a bit of a story behind this news, which begins with Sergorn Dragon complaining — not for the first time — about the reddish tone of the dirt tiles in Ultima 6.

#UltimaIXRedemption (An #Ultima9 Remake): The 2015 Fan Project of the Year!

[full_width][/full_width] I have to say, I was more than a bit surprised by how this year’s vote went, and in particular because of the rather surprising upset/come-from-behind victory that Ultima IX: Redemption was able to pull off. Until about the 25th of January, it seemed that the vote would be a tight race between Nuvie and The Dark Unknown, and I (for one) fully expected Goldenflame…

[full_width][/full_width] As of yesterday afternoon, The Dark Unknown led the Ultima fan projects poll with 13.3% of the vote; Nuvie was hot on its heels with 12.5% (and the actual difference between those scores was a mere two votes!). This morning, however, there has been something of a seismic shift in the poll results. The Dark Unknown is still (barely!) in the lead, with 19.2% of the vote…
