Dino brings us news from Blake Delaney, whose love of the Ultima games (and especially Ultima 6, my personal favourite) has inspired him to attempt to create a game in the style of Ultima 6.

Ultima 6 Inspired Project seeks Creators

In a dark corner of the Northern Central United States…
for over 256 weeks…
a massive game has been plotting, devouring, and growing.

For the first time, we invite outside Game Creators to assist us in building a modern classic.

It’s not Ultima 6, and it’s not single player, but it sure feels that way.

I quite agree with Dino; this could — would — make for an excellent opportunity for those who want to explore what game design entails. So if you’ve any interest in that sort of thing, O Reader, check thou it out by emailing Blake.

And, hopefully, the project will soon have a website that will serve to report on its progress.
