Ultima VII Part 2: The Serpent Isle
Level/Mission Designer
Planned and implemented Moonshade missions, including character creation and dialog, town plots, and mission scripting.
Constructed world maps and game environments.
Supervised art asset creation.
Created 2D interface elements, game objects and characters.
Very pleased that we were able to introduce the first female Avatars and Avatars of color. Representation and inclusion in games has always been a priority for me.
Descriptions for a new NPC type for Ultima, Automatons. Animated metal golems used as servants by the mages of Moonshade.
NPC # 5 "Serv_01"
Butler/Guard for Lady Columna & Lord Melino. A grim household where they take their meals in silence, and never a caring word passed between them. Columna slips out of the house almost every night when the frail Melino is asleep, and returns with the sunrise. Melinos power and life are slowly fading away.
NPC # 6 "Serv_02"
Butler/Guard at Gustacios Manor. He has spent much time away from the Manor recently. He is building something near the mountains up north with Mortegros aid.
NPC # 7 "Serv_03"
Butler/Guard for Lord Torrisio. Many ladies visit here to be painted by Torrisio, and some of them stay the night. On several occasions he has been visited by jealous husbands bent on a duel, but he uses the same subtle spell that seduced their wives to calm their rage.
NPC # 8 "Serv_04"
He bakes bread, rolls, and cakes day and night. The hearth never cools, and he never tires. The goods he produces are sold by Ducio, who runs the Bazaar.
NPC # 9 "Serv_05"
The smithy forge runs all day and night. He works without complaint to produce weapons, armor, and other metal items for Ducio to sell in the Bazaar.
NPC # 10 "Serv_06"
He patrols the palace hall ever-alert for intruders and thieves. Mageking Filbercio has enchanted this one so his metallic feet make no sound on the tile floors. (The constant sound of footsteps unnerved the King) He has seen many awe-inspiring and fantastic events take place in the halls of the palace, but is forbidden to speak of them.
NPC # 11 "Serv_07"
Butler/Guard in Rotoluncias Manor. His cruel mistress delights in the pain of others. Until recently she was favored by Filbercio, and the bizarre intimate rituals they practiced were enough to make even this emotionless machine cringe. She has developed a way to make an inanimate machine feel pain, and this Automaton is all too aware of it.
NPC # 12 "Serv_08"
Guard at the Canton. He watches over customers to prevent theft, and even stays in the shop overnight to protect against break-ins.
NPC #191 "serv09"
Guard/Butler at Stefanos Manor. Flindo once owned this house. There was treachery of some sort against his old master, and this automaton was then ordered by Filbercio to obey the orders of Stefano, who was taking over Flindos position. Now Stefano has been gone for some time.
NPC #192 "serv10"
Guard at Mortegros Crypt. His dark master sleeps during the day and works in his laboratory at night. Recently however, he has begun making daylight visits to Gustacio.
NPC #193 "serv11"
Guard/Butler at the Seminarium. He guards the young ones as they sleep at night, and bears their practical jokes with as much dignity as a machine can muster.
NPC #194 "serv12"
Guard at the Apothecary. Defends Pothos' shop and residence from thieves. (one of two)
NPC #198 "Music_01"
Musician at the Blue Boar Inn. He is designed to record any melody he hears and reproduce it without error. His favorites are the unusual melodies composed by the ancient Ophidians. But the people of moonshade dislike the "classics", and he seldom gets the opportunity to play them.
NPC #199 "Music_02"
Musician at the Blue Boar Inn. He "loves" Petra, and his eyes never leave her as she waits tables at the Inn. He would dedicate love ballads to her, but is afraid that Rocco would become jealous and sell him to someone else, where he could never see his beloved Petra again.
NPC #200 "Music_03"
Musician at the Blue Boar Inn. He will often get up and dance while his fellows play. His absurd style of dancing lightens the mood of customers at the Inn, and he enjoys seeing others get up and emulate his moves.
NPC #206 "Serv_Sew"
Weaver at the Bazaar. Like the other Automatons owned by Ducio, He works 24 hrs. a day producing goods for sale at the bazaar. His wares adorn the elite of Moonshade, yet he receives no recognition from them.
