The Ultima fan community has been notable for the prolificness of its modding community, even more than a decade after the series' ignoble demise. Kenneth over at the Ultima Codex (no relation) has written a very long post describing the past year's modding and fan project development activities.

Among the many projects covered in the post are the venerable Exult, the Ultima VII engine remake that was finally rid of its persistent "disappearing objects" bug recently, the Ultima 6 Remake and the Savage Empire Remake, remakes of said games in the Exult engine, Back to Roots, an Exult-like engine remake for Ultima IV and Ultima V, NUVIE, the much-awaited Exult equivalent for Ultima VI, Beautiful Britannia and Forgotten World, two ambitious projects that mean to overhaul the much-derided Ultima IX, and of course the Ultima 6 Project, the remake of Ultima VI in the Dungeon Siege engine. Ultima-inspired games such as The Real Texas are also given a mention.

Boy, there sure are a lot of U6 remakes. There are many more projects that I didn't mention, so be sure check that post out.

I think there should be a rule against moderators fisting each other

Also, you should provide hyperlinks to the webpages of the games you mentioned

Glad to see a number of these are still alive in kicking! I'm still waiting for a mod/fan remake/whatever of Ultima 9 that's on the level of Lazarus or U6P.

That's what we are all hoping The Titans of Ether will be.

Would be nice, but their last update said:

Just wanted to say hello and thank you all again for your support. It has been quite some time since our last post, but didn't want anyone to think it had to do with us abandoning our labor of love.

In truth, we've just been a little lazy the past few months in posting an update but we have actually gotten some news together.

I need to finalize some of our progress into a coherent block of text for you all to read, so stay tuned.

Maybe it's just a really fucking long block of text?

U5: Lazarus is by far the BEST "fan" made project released... in my humble opinion. I still fire it up occasionally and delve back into Britania and marvel at how they recreated that feeling of playing an Ultima game while using the DS engine!!!
