Everyone is familiar with the conventional character system on muds; a player logs in and creates their PC. There are many variations from there; classes, levels, classless, levelless, practices, skil ...

I remember reading that a while back and at the time I just had finished reading this,

Going to post the full text as I'm having trou ...

I am just wondering why the mud community is not trying other technology to bring the same gameplay experience to the gamers

I think the answer actually is very simple. There is the familiar exp ...

This gave me an idea for a rather odd/ridiculous (or I guess, atypical Smile

) skill system for combat, or potentially any game system. What if instead of relying on skills that you choose beforehand, yo ...

I think most often you see systems based on both. Godwars 2 has something like this, I'm sure there are others.

An old PBM game called Duelmasters had an approach more similar to what you're talki ...

OK, so I have been spending the past few days on finals and familiarizing myself with Panda3D. I have started on a basic 3D object editor using it.

Interesting, I wonder if you can include a netwo ...

Welcome back Kuros, and great idea for the journal.

How are you planning to model/describe the objects? Will you parse a 3d model file somehow to create the text description? Or create a more abst ...

Seems like the search tool could be given an in-fiction skin pretty easily as a rumour system or something similar. Though I suppose it depends on the mud whether you care about that.

This is an awesome idea. I would call it audience-generated content (AGC). though, if we want to patent the term now ;D.

I would agree that things like prompts and global chat messages get in the way of the gameplay, and I almost always want these removed from the main text window -- if not in a GUI, then the option to ...

It seems like you would want to make some of the bots influence the difficulty ranking more than others; for example, an invisible bot dying should add more to the rank than a vanilla tank dying.

I like the idea of favors + tasks a lot. You could specialize this a bit, for example with binding tasks that can cause a loss of favors if you don't complete them, but offer more reward if you do.

I'm pretty sure KaVir has no intention of closing MudLab (it's on the same machine as his mud).

It is kind of funny how the community is spread out, but I don't see the conversation happening betw ...

I like MudLab as a design journal as well; at the same time I think some more journaling in the design journal, so to speak, would be fruitful. Wink

The idea of the site as a design journal, and not ...
