Fan-Developed Ultima VI Remake Released 161

An anonymous reader writes "20 years after the original game launched, a fan-developed Ultima 6 remake has finally been released! The Ultima 6 Project was formed in 2001 by Sliding Dragon to develop a remake of Origin's Ultima VI: The False Prophet with newer graphics and a more immersive engine. Soon assembled under the banner Archon, the team members, who hail from all over the globe, have set about recreating the world of Britannia, adding an enhanced storyline to bolster intraseries continuity and building on the Ultima legacy in a way that will please fans new and old."

The site indexes projects that poeple say they are contributing to. There isn't anything about the site itself that is excluding Java based projects. If there are Java projects that need help and are marking easy and doc bugs on their tracker, you can submit a request to have that tracker added here: https://openhatch.org/wiki/Bug_trackers.

I agree, this is a big issue. Quite a few times I have gone through bug trackers looking at items to see that patches had already been submitted, bit the issue still wasn't marked resolved. One thing maintainers can do is review and give feedback on submitted patches. Letting something 'sit on the vine and rot' isn't helping the project and doesn't make people want to contribute.
