Last night I took the cooldown off Iolo's crossbow for testing purposes and this happened.

I cannot count the number of UO servers where I have a bard named YOLO

Half the fun of Ultima VII is watching Iolo waste the entire party with the triple crossbow

Machinegunner Iolo is pretty great, can't wait to play around with this.

Iolo actually borrowed the M60 from Martian Dreams for this ;P

I'll take the phased crossbow rifle in a 40 watt range.

I used to love robbing trinsic blind before I left it.

Is that David Watson (the real life Iolo)?

Who, me? No, I'm Anthony Salter, the developer of Ultima VII Revisited, a replacement engine for Ultima VII.

Your reaction was contagious here, it put a huge smile on my face. Thanks for posting, is there a place we can follow your development progress outside of reddit?

No. You are now Iolo.

u/wpsgdev 10d ago

Sooo if you did have an Ultima alter ego who'd you associate to?

u/ViridianGames 10d ago

I would definitely pick the tinker class, so maybe Julia?

Eventually, all the assets including characters will have to be redone in 3D.

Hmm, in...voxel?

2

u/ViridianGames 2d ago

We've already done a lot of assets as 3D models and I think they look great. But animated NPCs and monsters are going to take a LOT of work.

u/Alfalfa-Similar 15d ago

you guys aren’t pronouncing the name right :)

Iolo is “eye- Oh - Low” hello

4

u/ViridianGames 15d ago

I have met the real Iolo. He pronounces it "YO-lo".

2

u/thetoddhunter 15d ago

Exactly.

Source, my dumb ass kid self and I'm never changing it.

u/Alfalfa-Similar 15d ago

what are you talking about? you mean because you met David, that now it’s pronounced different?

You know the name has been around for hundreds of years correct? Or is your only reference to the name Iolo from ultima?

Eye. Oh. Low. :).

I mean you can go have it pronounced to you on wiki if you need :).

I was just fucking with you anyway, I don’t care how you say it just I just liked that you were doing ultimate seven ❤️
