<b>Ultima Online: Samurai Empire - Designer Diary #1</b>
 
PC News | Sep 19, 2004
 
 
 
The world of Ultima Online continues to expand year after year, fueled by fan support and an ongoing sense of community. The latest expansion, Samurai Empire, adds more than just samurai and ninja professions. Indeed, it adds substantially to the Ultima mythos itself: a new virtue will be rolled out, "Honor." How did it come about, and what's the process this new game addition goes through from start to finish? Game Programmer EvilMantis tells us in his own words how it all went down.<a href="http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/ultima-online-untited-new-expansion-pack/548965p1.html">>>>Read More</a><br>

In our last Ultima Online: Samurai Empire designer diary, we looked at how the new "honor" virtue was integrated into the game. This week, as the expansion is preparing to ship, we've invited art director Walter Ianneo to talk about the artistic decisions made with the new expansion. Unlike much of the Ultima universe, Samurai Empire is rooted in a specific history and culture. Does feudal Japan mix with Ultima Online as smoothly as peanut butter and jelly?

Ultima Online: Samurai Empire has at last gone gold, meaning that it's on its way to store shelves as you read this. Over the last several weeks we've been tracing its progress from a gleam in a game designer's eye to the finished product. In the first diary we looked at how the new "honor" virtue was created and implemented. From there we talked to Art Director Walter Ianneo about the artistic style of the game. And now, this week, Game Designer Jennifer Lane ties it all together by describing for us the (sometimes painful) process of rolling a game out.

Black Belt System

UO Evolution Ultima Online free shard has added an extensive amount of New Samurai Empire content to compliment the original SE:UO expansion.

The UOE team has been working on creating new buildings, monsters and systems to enhance the limited content from the original UO:SE expansion that was released by UO back in 2004.

The original reviews about the Samurai Empire expansion were not great, so it was always our intent, as developers, to make this new addition have engaging, relevant content that enhanced the Asian theme.
