I remember a few years back seeing something about a web based uo client. Is this the same project or another initiative? Making a game client is no small undertaking that is for sure. A web based client certainly does sound interesting, as well as a good opportunity to sharpen your programming...

I stumbled upon a game with a very curious style. Its a voxel based isometric game engine, it captures a bit of the classic pixel isometric art style. Check it out : http://www.voxelquest.com/

Very nice!! I would love to visit your world to have a look around. The screenshots posted so far really look great.

Good call for an SDK, who knows maybe in the future once the product has matured and is solid enough they can look into such options.

Yeah there are quite a few details that needs to be ironed out and I have a strong feeling their dev team is pretty understaffed. I am guessing the alpha will coincide with the early access launch on steam, that is if they get accepted. I don't know if it would be worth the effort to dev...

I'll try to response within the limits of the NDA, please excuse the potential vagueness of some of the responses. As you guys guessed already the Client is in unity. As for the server core, its basically a black box that handle all the low level infrastructure, so the Lua scripting side...

Hello everyone, For those of you who are not familiar Shards Online is mmo like game which also happens to be a tool kit to host your own private server. Basically if UO + servUO was a commercial product. They've been recently added on the steam greenlight program but will need to get enough...

I picked up project zomboid a year or two ago, while still in early release the game is pretty solid. Since I picked up my copy there has been a significant set of improvements. The game is pretty fun, very sandbox like with various crafting as well the ability to build and destroy structures...

Considering that UO was released back in 1997, its going to be soon 20 years old soon, that alone will offset the age average of people still involved or interested in UO. Once I hit retirement age, its going to be prime time to run a UO shard with all the spare time. I wonder if there will be...

Welcome Eri! Your uo-pixel website is a long standing awesome repository of artwork. Many thanks for hosting it all these years.

Doing stuff for fun is the probably the best way to go about it. When things become obligations it tends to get less fun. I used to run a shard a long time ago, it can be fun but more often it can be a headache :P

Nice table!! Is all the custom art that you create for a shard you are working on or are you simply creating new art because you enjoy doing so?

I did some digging for an alternative solutions, turns out there was a tool sitting right under my nose all this time. The UO Quintessence crew had an awesome tool that did exactly what I want looking for : Essence UDK Tool I just finished my test run and this tool worked spot on. What a...

Hello ServUO Community, I am looking for a tool to that would allow me to update a specific art_id with another within a staticsX.mul file, specifically a tool that can also do mass / batch updates as I have about 2600 ids to update. I have been wanting to update an old UO map of mine to use a...

Very nice!!
