Underworld Ascendant
OtherSide Entertainment, the independent studio headed by Paul Neurath of Looking Glass fame, has released a new video discussing the Improvisation Engine used by Ultima Underworld’s spiritual successor.
Joined by Warren Spector, who is serving as a creative advisor for the project, Lead Designer Tim Stellmach walks players through Ultima Underworld’s unique systems, and explains what OtherSide is doing to update the game’s foundation.
Released in 1992, Ultima Underworld is widely considered one of the most influential RPGs ever created. The team responsible for Ultima Underworld eventually became Looking Glass Studios, and went on to create Thief and System Shock.
OtherSide Entertainment is funding Underworld Ascendant via a Kickstarter campaign that ends on March 6.
