Lugaru MUD Proposal
Lugaru MUD Proposal
This has been proposed before I know.. but it has occurred to me that our community is much larger now, perhaps large enough to support a MUD.
Obviously I do not want to invest many, many hours into developing this if no one is going to play it.
I have other projects to work on but I should be able to devote a reasonable amount of time to this. I will need builders to create the world however, as I don't wish to spend ALL of my time on this.
It will most likely CircleMUD as I already have some code for Lugaru using that codebase.. However, codebases like ROM have more source code available, and much more in-depth code for races and classes, skills, crafting etc.
Feedback is extremely welcome.
What this will NOT be:
A modification of Lugaru with online play, it is a text based MUD.
A complete reproduction of Lugaru combat, if it has reversals it will be automatic based your character's skill. Why? Imagine this, with players reversing manually.
<10hp 10m> Zip throws a u-punch!
block
<10hp 10m> You block Zip's u-punch!
upunch
<10hp 9m> Zip blocks your u-punch!
Etc....
What it WILL be:
A fun place to hang out, chat, and have pulse pounding PK battles.
A more in-depth version of Lugaru, you can explore the entire island(and perhaps beyond? ^_^ ) at will.
An ongoing war with multiple factions and races battling for control of the island.
Atomsphere!
What it MIGHT have:
Complex crafting.
Classes and races... currently you just pick "race" which is realy a class in disguise. SunTzu(the circle version I use) has support for races and a lot of other stuff.. its rather hack-ish though.

Races are in, there will still be a lot of tuning but they are in.
At this point things are still very flexible so it is important that any ideas/objections be put in now.
Also at this point I do not plan on having classes, again objections should be put in now
