2010-12-03 Another Week, Another Screen

Welcome friends,

This past Wednesday saw another demo release of Beautiful Britannia and its actually be exactly 365 days since the previous demo – I see a trend forming here.  If you haven’t gotten it yet, check out our downloads page for a link to the file.  I’ve added some additional screens from the demo to the BB screenshots page for your perusal.  Speaking of screenshots, yes in last week’s awesome screen that tower was new to Britain.  Expect more additions like this in future Beautiful Britannia releases. (See the 52nd thru 58th screenshots in the BB-archive)

So now in keeping with trends, we have another awesome screen to show you.  It is actually an old screen released internally a few years back that I think really showcases the potential of importing new textures into the game.

Now in other news, we have another new member to our team:  Mario Brito (HCl) from the Wing Commander community.  He is going to help us with dll patching of the game.

And in final news, the winner of the poll was the addition of Mariah and Jaana in their respective towns after the shrine cleansing, which we are well on our way to accomplishing if you’ve been following the Awesome Screens.  Runners up are the failed slaying of the demons in Valoria and the Moonglow Catacomb lift bug.  So with that, I shall end the current poll.

For our next poll, we would like to know how much you travel by boat in Ultima IX?

– Only if Raven’s driving.

– I love sailing the ship around Britannia’s ocean…uh sea…lake?

– Everytime I drive, the game crashes.

Enjoy guys.
