Looks good, I'll back this one too. Mark it down everyone; Couch and I agree on a game
Backed at Journeyman: $35
The early backer pledge will cost you only $20.What's the minimum backing (read: US$) in order to get the game ?
Unity Engine - nooooooo!
All these Unity Engine games look the same - cartoon graphics and full of bloom.
So is this officially an Ultima game or just a spiritual successor? I keep reading different things. I heard that Paul Neurath had purchased the rights from EA, but most of the articles I've seen are referring to it as a spiritual successor.
They don't have the rights to the actual name, but everything else. So, while it's not officially an Ultima game - it's as close as you can get without using the name.
So the in-game lore won't be the same then if I understand you correctly. If that's the case, I don't see what the purpose was of purchasing those rights.
As I mentioned in another thread I don't see the big appeal of doing this type of game again with a new engine
