There have been a few minor updates in the remake community today.
U6 Project
Over at the U6 Project, a new profile has been released to tell us about the team’s writer, WyrdWeb.
Exult
There are four screenshots (1, 2, 3, 4) now on the Exult screenshots page of Lanica’s Pocket PC port of Exult.
Lost Sosaria
There are 21 new screenshots posted at the Lost Sosaria website, including a look at a new region of the map, the Death’s Veil Forest.

There are a couple of updates to note today:
Black Gate Keyring
Marzo has published an update to the Exult Keyring Mod on Seven Towers to correct a few bugs in Zauriel’s gem of dispelling. The blackrock potion functions have also been improved.
I’ve updated Aiera’s copy of the Keyring Mod to reflect these changes.
Forgotten World
The team opening at Forgotten World has apparently been filled — they have found a writer/story editor.

I was going through the Ultima FTP Archive and noticed that there were a few things there which had not been added to Aiera, but which probably should have been added a goodly while ago. They’re mostly minor utilities, some over a decade old, but for posterity’s sake they have been included on the site here.
Just a minor update, especially coming on the heels of some fairly major ones (below). But hey — I aim to please!
Also, a frothy mug of ale to Ole Petter Ingebrigsen for bringing it to my attention that the ZIP-archive download for the Ultima 4 character editor (a different one, not the one mentioned above) was apparently corrupted. This error has been corrected.
* this also works, apparently, for Savage Empire (thanks Paulon)
Arkane Studios developed this game in honor of the Ultima Underworld series, out of recognition of the superior gameplay style of those games.
Featuring a strong plot with many subquests, multiple NPC races – each with different dialogue styles, character customization, exceptional world interactivity and even runic magic, this game could very well have been titled Ultima Underworld 3. And in fact, it was supposed to have exactly that title, but Arkane was unable to license the name.
A simple utility for editing character statistics in Ultima Underworld 2.

A simple editing utility for modifying the graphics ‘chunks’ in Ultima 6.
Produced by: Somebody…anybody know?
Releases:
* Ultima 4 Map Editor (75.2 KiB, 134 hits)
A utility to edit the graphic tiles in Ultima 4. Requires EGA graphics and the original shapes.ega file.
Releases:
* Ultima 1, 3, 4 & 5 Cheat (19.2 KiB, 353 hits)
A cheat program that can be used for Ultima 1 through to Ultima 5 (but not, according to its name, for Ultima 2).
Note: this update may not work with Ultima 3, and may also be missing the strength attribute. This has been found to be the case in DOSBox, at any rate, although at present it is not known whether the error is within the program proper, or whether it is in some way related to DOSbox.
This little utility enables the player to activate the cheat utility in Martian Dreams. It can also remove the copy protection from the game, and initially I was hesitant to post a copy to Aiera on that basis…until I realized that uo.com had a downloadable copy as well.
Paulon Dragon informs us that this hack will also work with Savage Empire, and he provides details on how to do this on his website, The Other Codex.
