Portals (Moongates)
« on: June 25, 2014, 04:43:18 am »


               

  One of my favorite games of all time has to be Ultima Online, I grew up with it as my first computer game I played. I feel very nostalgic whenever I hear the music from that game, and it's stuck in my mind for many years.


 


  So, it inspired a project of mine, to make portals that draw inspiration from the moongates of UO. I started with blue and red, then discovered the other colors moongates have appeared as and just rolled with it and made many variants. I made it all while listening to the soundtrack of UO, it was a pretty enjoyable experience, for having messed with emitters the whole time, which are really obnoxious in how they behave.


 


  Also, I realize there are already moongates (or so it appears) that have been made, although they are more old school than the design I went for here. Also, these are based off of the design, and not exact designs. I never played the earlier installments of the Ultima series, so I only felt nostalgic about the oval-shaped moongates. The moongates are selectable placeables, and I will be posting a download link soon-ish*.

Suggestion. As these appear to be artefacts and you designed and made them yourself why not send them to the Amethyst Dragon for inclusion in this months ccc?

  Sure, I didn't really think of that to be honest. Sounds fine if you think they're artifact-y enough to fit in! I am not sure if they themselves are really "artifacts", especially the UO ones, but I believe in earlier Ultima games they were considered to be made (red ones at least) by artifacts. So that counts I guess? I am not entirely certain on the lore behind them, I did do some googling while working on them, but I am unsure if I am getting it right. More the impression I got from what I read.  '<img'>

I like your menhirs. They look like something that Obelix would be toting around... '^_^'
