That looks like a giant leap back to the 80's... maybe it's just me but that looked more like classic Nintendo.

The shown artwork itself looks nice.
The question is how it would fit into along with old tiles.
But it is still the same small resolution like the rest.

I really like the artwork here... the blacksmith shop looks really cool and is kind of UOish. Whats the purpose of this though? New UO client or new game? If the former, definitely a pipe dream unless the devs hire whoever did this.

I don't have to like the artwork as it is exactly,.. this just helped me to start picturing a higher fidelity 2d engine for UO... It would be glorious... and definitely stand out today. As for its purpose...it's not quite clear. It seems this person started making this for fun and then decided the work can be used either for a new game and to replace the graphics in UO.. that ambition is described on some blog.

Hopefully he is still working on this... could def be a cool game. More like UO Online 2. Current game is too convoluted with nonsense to have another client/engine.

The main thing I love about the CC is the nostalgia I feel from using it - and that's primarily based around the artwork and sound effects. Even with the functionality of the EC, I have trouble using it because I can't deal with how my character looks. Also, when I buy rares, I try to stick to original graphics. Even the new clothing kinda bugs me, but maybe it's just because I'm not used to it yet.

I love the concept, though. From the few images shown, it looks a lot like Shards Online.

Thanks for good words.
I am using old resolution but there is capability for high resolution.

Greetings Ryz and rest of Ultima community ,
I never realized that it will get that far. Thanks for sharing at Stratics community.


The project did not ended in December it's still going on. I am doing it in spear time and trying my best to find time and update frequently the blog for new Ultima Online art , game assets etc. Bringing something new, fresh with "Ultimish" style. Doing it for fun and don't have huge expectant but maybe could turn out as indie game anyway too early to talk about that. It's a joyful journey to see where will bring me and I hope you have the same fun as I have.


Personal blog: Nice Goodies


Cheers !

THIS is what a modern day MMO should look like .. BDO is just gorgeous. Imagine running round a Sosaria that looked like this ...

Though I still feel UO would look best in 2.5D (ie KR), can't deny this game looks really nice :)



Oh and LOL on "I was on 'The List' - Stratics 2016", really?

BDO.... ehhhhh I dunno if I ever want UO to look anything like this.. Reminds me of another tacky MMO. On the other hand, congrats to the person who thought that human being mating with reindeer was a good idea (bottom right char from above image).....

If you want to play a fancy, modern MMO, you are welcome to log out of UO and log in to one of the newer MMOs. I don't want my UO looking like that, no.

I think some of these examples really look great, but I need 2D or 2.5D because I am too stupid for walking around in 3D. I really tried many games. I dont like 3D.

Ultima Online games style is very sensitive question based on individual UO gamer. I Hope UO developer team will find the way to make something what UO community will appreciate.

3D wouldn't be ideal for Ultima Online but I think "Pillars of Eternity" have very great game style. it's 2.5D and some 3D elements. Something what personally I would love to create.

here are some screenshots:

I think these are my favorite graphics so far. Relatively clean, not over stylized (anime), and keeping with the 3rd person perspective which I prefer. I could get on board with something like this. :)
