Well ain’t this something, one year ago we hit the final moments of the Shroud of the Avatar Kickstarter campaign and the new Ultima game was funded. It was a wild and crazy night with nearly 24 full hours of drinking Scotch and playing games. When the bell finally rang, I’m not sure anyone at Portalarium knew who they were anymore.
But here we are with Release 4 of the game and a look back over everything we’ve done so far. It’s going to be a full day of Dev talks and discussion of the game and what else is to come. It should be pretty damn entertaining. I have no doubt there will be some interesting topics and plenty of drinks to go around. It’s going to be a mini-telethon as it’s the last day to pledge at the reduced prices.
