###**Job Postings**###
Technically nothing at this time, but I may be looking for an additional dungeon writer.
###**Update**###
Direhaggis: I have been remiss. Obvious. I finally got my Ph.D. I'm depositing my 255 page, 66,000 word dissertation on Thursday. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I did next to nothing project-related this month, or the one before that. The good news is that I published more in the last four months than the last four years. And I guess you could say I got a promotion.
Zini: Finished the cooking implementation, as well as eating and starving scripts. Going hungry in Britannia was never so exciting (and chock full of solid code)! Also worked on more bug-fixing and party-related implementation.
Lord Alamar: Continues to find useful monster models from existing mods and retexture them.
LSD: Has transformed Buccaneer's Den into a retched hive of scum and villainy. I salute him, I throw the goat, I salute by throwing said goat.
Spyder: Made an entire set of interior worldbuilding models for Britain. All of the pieces are high quality and appropriate for the various districts represented in the game.
Hyena of Doom: Still on Skara Brae interiors. Soon to be or is currently working on Britain. Which will blow this writer's mind, gentle reader, because every other place is tiny compared to it.
The Brown Dragon: Working on a build of Jhelom. This is the remaining city of virtue to be written. Actually one of the last areas that needs writing at all according to my Tobin's Spirit Guide.
Jomtung and Aurora: Continuing on their areas, although I need to 'touch base' with them.
Gaius Atrius: Working on interiors. Somewhere. Terra Incognita and all that.
Jacar: Rebuilding his interior worldbuilding empire.
I would like to note for the record that I didn't intend to be away from the project as long as I was. For mostly professional but some personal reasons, I just didn't have the energy at the end of the day to do project work. As suggested above, work life will get slightly easier in the next few weeks. I'll continue to work with Zini on some re-writes.
I appreciate the understanding of the fans. These last two months have kicked my ass. Thank you for not adding an extra boot to the mix.

It smells like an almost finished game.
A Horde of Fans lurks in the shadow with envy and a guess of future satiation.
Thanks all for that.
Keep up the good work

It's been a little too quiet around here recently. I guess this next part constitutes some of my unofficial job description.
Despite some clean up work post-Ph.D.--a new grant, 3 papers, training a half dozen undergrads, you know usual stuff one week post--, I'm getting back into things. That's largely editing on my part and helping Zini out with some implementation--well really facilitation of implementation.
I should actually finish the main plot while I'm at it. It's so close.

I have never posted, but I have been following this project for some years now. This last news update is the most encouraging one I've read in quite some time.
It seems that slowly but steadily the game as a whole is beginning to come together. I wish the modding team all the best. When completed, this game will represent a much needed closure to a series that has been beloved by so many.
Again, best of luck.
I, like so many others, will be waiting for the Redemption's release regardless of how long it takes to finally get there.

Thank you for the well-wishes!
Our interior/exterior worldbuilding department has been fantastically productive. The 2D/3D folk have been equally up to the task. It's always tough getting back momentum after a semester ends, but we're getting back to that point.
I think our collective hope is that it won't just be a good Ultima, but a pretty high standard RPG in itself.

I went ahead and ordered a Morrowind GoTY edition. I cannot wait for this project to be released. Thank you so much for your dedication to such an influential and beloved series.
Cheers!

Question: what exactly did you get your Ph.D. in? History, anthropology, something I would never think of?

I got it in Psychology and Neuroscience. My dissertation basically looked at why the brain atrophies in specific areas more than others as we get old. So I looked at all of the major physiological systems (e.g. vascular, immunological) and their differential impact using MRI. Did some behavior too. Turns out that being a really stress reactive can majorly degrade the part of the brain responsible for executive functioning and higher order cognition.
I sneak some of my profession into Redemption, but not a lot.
