w00t nice, its amazing to see how small it is even though its 83.3% complete alerady!

That is just the game engine alone. It will be the most limiting factor -- the game engine cannot be larger than 64 Kb and I am getting close to that limit.

The total game requires 230 Kb right now. O_O

But I have a few more compression techniques to get it down to about 210 Kb.

ouch I see, still not bad I'm sure you'll get around this. Are the maps external? In Metroid the entire engine and graphic data were 15 KB in size, the xLIB app 16 KB and the other 85 KB was just map data

Another update:

The "Under Arrest" cut-scene is now working. Yeah, under certain circumstances, the guards will chase you down and place you under arrest. You will have 2 choices: fight to the death or go quietly to your prison cell. It is rumored that your prison mates may help you find a way to escape.

Ultima V progress = 83.4%
Game engine = 56.8Kb

Fight to the death man! Gotta pwn up those guards! I mean, as long as that doesn't get a big bounty on your head or something.

After fighting the guards a few times, you will come to your senses.

The guards are tough to beat especially at the beginning of the game.

I am still planning an initial release for this fall.

Some things I still need to finish before initial release and testing:

- full combat capability (currently at 50%)
- casting spells
- full terrain (tile) interaction
- some special dungeon puzzles
- frigates firing their cannons
- meeting with Lord Blackthorn
- meeting with Lord British
- general code refinements

Some things planned for release number 2:

- full 15 track musical soundtrack
- the astronomy portion of Ultima V
- character generator
- beginning story
- end story
- general code refinements
