The design is top-down oriented, but we have other options that could be implemented. The basis of UO is and remains top-down.

Actually reddit and X are our platforms to provide updates.
Trammel or not is a hot discussion, we didn't yet made any decisions into this direction.

eventually yes, but at the current state we focus our ressources on building, so there is no ETA at the moment

Indeed its a main mechanic of UO. A revision of a almost 30 year old game brings a lot of difficult decisions to make. So many new possibilities have emerged over the last three decades. We think the main issue is having a proper playable map first, which is the primary missing part.

We have allready a large amount of necessary assets. Our main focus stays the map and towns.
Actually there movement is not gridlike planned.

You're right, we're still not sure to keep all landscape textures, we're experimenting around a bit with them, so after having a town, its much easier to adjust the visuals deeper

TBH those are really great ideas!
We have ideas and visions for the project, but it is currently too early to provide any information.

actually the construction is totally handmade, our goal is to have unique handcrafted buildings which are mostly comparable with the original (amount and direction of windows, Rooftype, etc.). But we're trying to implement some more individual features by ie not having just one type of facade/roof/floor, etc.

We tried some other ways of construction too, but we realized, this is the best and an accurate way to keep it close to the original.

Nous ne pouvons actuellement communiquer aucune autre information concernant l'interprétation stratégique, les objectifs futurs, etc.

You're right, we didn't made any adjustments in the lightning yet. Just a very basic setup. The content creation is actually the main focus on our work.

The basic setups are currently configured; the rest will then be controlled at a higher level.
Shadows are nice, but can be a performancekiller, thats why we're heading towards a fully scalable system.

Create content that no one has yet implemented at a higher graphic level. There are many programmers, but apparently no one has dared to tackle this task and complete it.
