Employed my pixel art skills to make my first Twitch emote, for my great friend BabylonZool's new DJ channel, ZoolFM. Picked up a commission while making it on stream! #BabylonZool #PixelArt #ZoolFM

Who wants to see new creatures in Ultima 8: Exult? Do YOU want to see new creatures in Ultima 8: Exult? Our new creature artist, BMR, has been doing an amazing job. Here are two creatures you may find in deep in the mines! First up is our crystalline snippy boy!

This is HIGHLY work in progress, but I have just implemented these annoying af mushrooms that explode when you hit them.

Mythran's plateau is coming together nicely!

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Still working on Mythran's plateau! It's shaping up nicely. And it's all out in the open world! One big map for U8 Exult.

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Spent countless hours figuring out how to build Mythran's plateau out as an actual, genuine plateau on the map. You can go through the dungeon to get there like in the original game, but a keen eye may find a way to climb up! Finding new ways to bring @richardgarriott.bsky.social's vision to life!

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Thanks to the patient and amazing Exult team's tireless work putting up with all our endless feature requests, U8 Exult will feature a variety of things never seen in Ultima 7 before. For example, Mythran's plateau will be an actual plateau high off the ground!

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Spent hours porting art from U8 - about 4 hours on tables and broken tables, rope, new wooden walls, cups, new bricks, a wood block. Also built these buildings for NPCs that have no name and no dialog in the original game. In U8 Exult they'll be fully fleshed out. As always, this is WIP.

ULTIMA 8: EXULT screenshots. I normally wouldn't include the map editing grid overlay in these, but this time I did so you can see how closely I've matched the dimensions and scale. Little bit of the Necromancers Enclave near Tenebrae here.

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Argentrock Isle's town structures are fully built (including the additional buildings), although interior decoration still has work to do. But that's a later phase of development. Big milestone though, as this means all 3 vanilla towns are built!

We implemented Oblivion-style radiant dialog in Ultima 7. NPCs can spot when they're near literally any other NPC, and go up to them and have an Oblivion style brief exchange, with greetings, a couple of lines of dialog, and a farewell. It's fully dynamic.

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Ok, here's some pics of Argentrock Isle which is now under construction. Today, you get pics of Stellos' house, both the original version, and the Ultima 8: Exult version.

With The Lost Vale, we are working with Sheri to ensure that our implementation of it in U8 Exult is as authentic as we can make it. This means we will avoid adding things and making new creative decisions any time we don't have to. With all its flaws, you'll play Lost Vale as it was, mostly.

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

ULTIMA 8: EXULT UPDATE: -Sheri Graner Ray, the main mind behind The Lost Vale gave us a map sketch! -Tenebrae's named NPCs are now in! -TheGrayWanderer, is hard at work developing our dialog code. -We now have a private github repository. Once we have releases, it will all be fully open sourced.

Something new, originally planned but unseen in the original Ultima 8, is under construction in Tenebrae, north of the palace. What could it be?

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Ultima 8: Exult update: The Tenebrae city walls are complete after an agonizingly long, painstaking process. Now there are only 3 buildings left in Tenebrae to build out in the structural phase. The environment, foliage etc looks plain since that all comes later. Pics are of course WIP.

Ultima 8: Exult update. I spent 8 hours straight building the southern half of the Tenebrae city wall. Designing it to look exactly the same with the same proportions. It was brutal and painstakingly slow to make it look authentic.

Gallara has been a huge supporter and morale booster for Ultima 8: Exult! Please consider helping her out with this fundraiser!

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Ultima 8: Exult is coming along pretty nicely! Tenebrae's structural pass, where we build all the facades and basic architecture, is almost done. It's looking fantastic already. East Tenebrae, and the city walls need to be finished. And yes, we need to build the city park with the Hydros shrine.

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

Some buildings from East Tenebrae in Ultima 8: Exult. Darion's house and his training hall, now separate buildings as in the original Tenebrae map. Tarna's house, now featuring an armory room. And that weird lake building that was unused due to the game being unfinished.

260

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Work on East Tenebrae has begun. Aramina's house is built, now moving on to Darion's house and training hall! Which, as we are having some influence from an earlier, bigger version of the Tenebrae map, means Darion's training hall is actually a building across the road! The map is attached!

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

The structures of West Tenebrae are FINISHED! Palace is also DONE. Now for East Tenebrae!

Ultima 8 Exult news: Tenebrae is now fully under construction! Soon, the whole city's exteriors will be built, including the palace and city walls. Also, if you are an Ultima Dragon or a big fan of Pagan and want your face to be a portrait, DM me!

There hasn't been an update on my Ultima 8: Pagan remake in a while as I was on vacation and having a wedding. So here's an update! Building out the world for U8: Exult, or Pagan: Exulted Edition as I like to call it has been fun. I can officially confirm it will, however, be OPEN WORLD.

We are implementing the ability to climb in Ultima 7! The proof of concept is in and works, just need to work out 1-2 last things.

Very happy to say Lord British, Richard Garriott @richardgarriott.bsky.social gave his blessing for Ultima 8 Exult. This means a lot to us because, even though he may not own the rights to Ultima right now, he is still its creator. To know he's both aware of us and supportive means the world!

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Agentorangeguy assisted me to totally overhaul the basic usecode & headers so that the code fundamentals of U8 Exult are all in order. For many, this is a boring and uninteresting piece of news, but it's a big step forward. Also, the initial conversation with Devon is pretty much fully implemented.

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

Happy 2025, friends! Ultima 8: Exult became official in September, a s hort break on work during Christmas & new year. 2025 will be the first full year of work on U8 Exult, or Pagan: Exulted Edition as I like to call it. Building out the full Sorceror's Enclave now!

Those random snippets of things you hear people say walking in public. I walked past 2 elderly women and one of them said to the other: "It's like a serious democracy class"

The basic layout of Tenebrae in Ultima 8: Exult has been altered to be more in line with the official cloth map of Pagan. So it's a bit more open. However, we recently found this design map of Tenebrae on the Codex. Thinking of using elements from it to tweak the Tenebrae layout further. Thoughts?

DrYazman @dryazman.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

When The Guardian finds the Avatar floating in the ether, he is wearing the Serpent Armor. And yet when The Guardian drops him into Pagan it seems as if The Guardian has decided to change the Avatar's clothes. Ultima 8 Exult will fix this with visual continuity in the armor. Here's a sneak preview!

Thanks to agentorangeguy, we have a way to jump in Ultima 7 now. Will it be implemented in U8 Exult? Probably, but the dungeons will not be built around jumping like they were in the OG game.

I'm remaking #Ultima8 in the Exult engine for #Ultima7! If you love Pagan or are simply just interested in "what could've been", follow me for occasional updates on this project. Technically a demake, I guess. Any questions or ideas I'm always happy to respond to.
