Tim and Greg Hildebrandt’s artwork for Ultima Online.
I love how chill most of the towns people are in the middle of all this fighting :)
Just a typical day…
Loved finding art like this as a center spread in a gaming magazine as a kid. I’d keep opening it up and just stare at all the little details.
The music in this game was also pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8oJgt91M9g
I was straight up addicted to this game in the 90s/00s. If I hear the ost music, I fear I’ll activate like some kind of sleeper agent.
It might and I think the game is still pretty good. It’s just a little bit too grindy for the little time I have to get these days though.
Same bucket: not enough time to play, and not fond of paying a monthly charge to play a game.
I really like these oldschool aesthetics. It really makes me want to play Ultima Online, but I never played it and I have no clue were to start or what kind of server to play on.
This is probably the best server to start on. Private server that is basically the most beloved period of it. Still has a community and everything.
I used to be a top-ish scripter on EasyUO… would be fascinating to get back into this like 20 years later!
Ooh, I knew I recognised that style…
Interesting mix of styles - sort of a cross between Heironymus Bosch and Roger Dean.
