Exult Forum

@@@ i got Permission from "Dominus_" to start a new topic @@@
(i assume this person is admin)

Introduction;
- call me "Skee".
* i am a long time fan & own the original of Ultima, specifically: U7, FOV & SI.
- i am approaching my 30's and live in UK and spend free time working with the unreal engine
* This post is to "gauge" interest and see who is active here, sorry for the wall of text.
What am i doing:
- Creating a game as close to U7 as possible
Why am i doing this:
- I played it when i was little, i hop onto it every now and again for nostalgia & no game has ever compared to this.
- i do not have the lifestyle or remaining years to become a fully professional games designer, BUT, i enjoy making stuff.
- i am currently developing another game and have worked for a team releasing a game on PS4 &3/PC/XBOXOne&360[this endly badly and NDA still LOL]
* i would now like to utilise my free time to build U7 and looking for 1 or 2 individuals interested in this project.

overview of skills
- i am intermediate overall, but have preferences and places i am more confident with, [textures/ level design, team management] and fail at [code,code and code]. No need to mention 3d/2d programmes, you probably are aware of all of them.

Ultima 7 remake
* preferably close to original
* solely a Tribute{non-profit}] and trying to avoid infringement as much as possible
- no 'original' U7 content may be used in the project but the entire game is based going to be based on it
* so far its a solo project but i am looking for activity on these forums.
- I MAY contact origin directly when the game is 90% complete

How am i doing this
- its been a few years on & off but i am now comfortable with the Unreal Engine
- Using UDK i can do all of the game myself but to an average [buggy] standard
- Using UE4 i cannot code in C++ but the entire game can be built without Code

Basically guys, i am doing it, its already started! the ideas in motion 2 years ago, and i have started the code and events + gathering what i need.
- Interested ????
1. First reply here.
2. be a REAL PERSON not a bot, not a critic or a nay-sayer
...and please provide some useful information, what you can do to help e.g, the key factor is we get along, have fun and stick to it to the end
- ^^ this is most important to me
** my current est. time for completion based on 1 person is 2 years.
- for 2 people - 1.4 yrs and with a coder and a 3d guy or 2d guy to take the load...less than a year for a beta without FOV or SI
Many Thanks for reading.
3. i would like to move this to another forum to not piss the admin off, i am an admin, i know the score





Note:
- I read the rules, i could not edit typo's
- i am not ready to post WiP's or personal emails but i am an admin of a another forum and i have cloud, server, forum, steam, skype and IRC options available to move this discussion off this forum.

- i did not want to start a new thread on a topic that really has nothing to do with Exult except, if it wasn't for exult and testing ultima 7 with exult 1 - 1.6 then i wouldn't be here and dominus said its ok.

Jfyi, if you want to ask for permission you would need to contact EA, Origin has closed doors a decade or so ago. And generally they don't answer which is a solid basis for EA because thus they can always go after the project years later

Oh and if you really want to generate interest, best ask in the ultima dragons facebook group or even better ask at ultimacodex.com whether they will post this. Perhaps you would need to come out with a real name. Personally I abhor this secrecy stuff.

Thanks Dominus.

- I have a real name, the information provided is easily linked to personally identifiable information, i have experience with EULA both professional and mainly non-professional.
- this game can be compared to the R
