Slow but sure...

I have almost finished the "cut scene" where all party members have died. And, an apparition of Lord British appears and resurrects the entire party -- for a cost of 50 experience points per party member. The party is teleported to back the castle of Lord British. Btw: if this happens, you only lose experience points, you do not lose any gold or items.

I have also been tweaking the NPC movement algorithm for the following 2 cases:

- NPC moving from a different town story (level) to the current town story
- NPC moving from current town story (level) to a different town story

Yes... Multiple stories

There are 32 towns (this includes castles, towns, villages, lighthouses, etc). Some towns have only 1 story, some towns have up to 5 stories. Each town has a maximum of 32 NPCs. However, there are a few towns that only have 1 NPC.

There are ladders and stairs to climb up & down. There are also gratings and pit traps that you can climb down or even fall through -- better keep your eyes open.

So, you see, each NPC must be smart enough to find a ladder and climb up or down in order to reach the designated town story according to its schedule.

That would be great! But, there are some other very deserving games out there.

Well... I finally finished the "Dead Party" cut scene. It was rather painful! It took me all week to get past a couple of very minor issues -- but if I knew how minor they were at the beginning, it would have only taken a few hours.

So... When everyone in the party dies, everything goes black. You hear some words from the guardians of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. Then, a peal of thunder shakes the place of death followed by an apparition of Lord British. He resurrects and heals the entire party... at a small cost of 50 experience points per person. Finally, the entire party is teleported back to the throne room of Lord British.

This is a nice feature of the game. It can be very advantageous in certain situations of the game.

Maybe I will put some screenshots up later. Now on to the "Hole Up & Camp" cut scene.

Ultima V progress = 83%
Game engine = 56Kb

nice to see new progress, Indeed this feature sound very nice, if you get stuck in a dungeon and have saved your game i guess its better to try to get killed by the enemies and come back at start point, right?

Yeah... something like that.

The starting point of the game is actually Iolo's Hut, which is hidden in a remote location within the Deep Forest. The forest is so dense, you may not see your enemies before they attack you -- so be very careful.
