In 2021 the musician Pieces of 8-Bit released a remake of the Ultima IV soundtrack on YouTube. Last year @xerardo, who works with him, contacted the xu4 project to help create a music module for it. This soundtrack has been updated in 2024 and is now finally available for xu4 on the download page. Be sure to check out all his other excellent remakes, which include the entire Ultima series!

Thank you for checking it out and for the really kind words! I hope your kids get as much enjoyment and fulfillment from scratch as my son has. It's a great introduction to programming, and can do some pretty impressive things. Large scale stuff is a challenge, but for kids it's perfect. This port of xu4 was really beyond what I should have attempted, not from a performance standpoint, but just from content & data size. When I discovered the 5MB limitation, I made some attempts to reduce the size,...

I'm very impressed and my boys even more so. This very very neat!
-
that's awesome, can't wait to load it in Scratch later! And what a timing! My son is being introduced to programming in school through Scratch and last evening we (along with my younger son) spent going through some of the homework (essentially creating a Frogger clone).
-
Hello all! For those who aren't familar with Scratch, it is a visual programming tool, mostly meant for kids who are just learning to program. It was created by a team at MIT in the US and continues to be updated, maintained and hosted by MIT (at scratch.mit.edu). Last year, I stumbled on the xu4 remake of U4 and really enjoyed it - to me it represented exactly what my mind remembered U4 to look like (whereas the actual look of vanilla U4 was so primitive it was a bit surprising). Having been exposed...

A new repository for the next version of xu4 has been created at https://codeberg.org/wickedsmoke/gypsy . The engine code is all C11. All rendering is done by the GPU. A new GLFW backend is used on Windows. The title screen is now scripted (using a presentation DSL). It'll be a while before the game is running; right now J)ourney Onward just lets you zip around the world and E)nter cities to view their maps.

There have been a couple releases this year and with 1.4 I feel the project is in a good place for version one. From the end user perspective the most important development tasks might be finishing the Android port and getting it working on MacOS. A few months ago a fresh project repository, code named "Gypsy Road", was created. This is all C code with a GPLv3+ license. It has a more modern game loop and I'm experimenting with scripting more of the game. Since my focus will be there, the 22 year...

Hurin, You're welcome! I've tried to make it as easy as possible for users to experience the various renditions of the music. While your module was made last month, I neglected to push the repository. An U4-Hurin repository now exists on GitHub which contains your readme.txt. In the upcoming v1.4 release the module browser has been improved so that the About text is shown in a tooltip popup. For your module this is: Telavar's Ultima IV MIDI + Roland SC-55st music recorded by Hurin Let me know if...

Hi! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for rolling my Roland Sound Canvas recordings into a module and providing it on the downloads page!

How will my old recordings fit into this!?!" I was greatly humbled and honored to see that my meager efforts (I just recorded them after all, Telavar did the...
