@TWilson@mastodon.cloud I was a ROM guy back int he day. Played a bit of Bat MUD lately but couldnt get into most games including MUDs (though batmud was one of the better).

I have very specific tastes in games and never have i found a game that lives up to my very high expectations in terms of gameplay. So despite not being a huge gammer I decided I needed to write my own game so I could make one I'd actually find fun for once, and should be exceedingly unique as well.

Its an archaic term that means "Multi-User Dungeon". Generally it is used to refer to any MMORPG that is entirely text based and (usually) operates through telnet.

@freemo @TWilson That actually sounds nice.

Add some roguelike features, a more story driven narrative (written by a human, not pulled from a list) and I'm sold.

@LWFlouisa
The story line will be human written, though there may be some generated elements (since i intend to make a huge world that takes a very long time to traverse). The overworld will have some rougelike features but dungeons will be slightly different (per-room environments like a traditional MUD).

@freemo Also am I the only one who noticed how the Dutch and Russian flags are similar to the French flag?

It would be interesting to research the history behind that. Russia I can believe had some kind of long distance relationship with France.

What they call The Netherlands though, that seems a bit out of left field: the only similarity is wooden shoes in the 19th century.

Out of left field: Something unexpected and completely random.

@LWFlouisa If you find an explanation beyond coincidence let me know.

@freemo @LWFlouisa Primary colors really POP. Red, white, and blue feature heavily on a LOT of flags in some amounts. I think people just sort of naturally gravitate towards those primary colors for some reason.
