LOL this is rich stuff guys. I've turned this thread into the most horrific slew of geek gloatery imaginable. You should all be ashamed!

DustyPorViva · #19 07-10-2008, 01:10 AM

But I win, simply for the fact I brought it up in the first place. Yay me.

I was actually lying when I said I had NetHack installed. I used to have a copy of the source code though, which I used to produce an ultra sissy version where all fountains where infinite and always gave you a wish. Needless to say, the ensuing game was so boring I couldn't bring myself to finish the game with the grossly overpowered character.

I gave up on a terminal-only operating system when it became apparent that there were a ton of useful things I couldn't do without a window manager.

There are already a bunch of really good MUDs out there, this one will have to take at least a year to develop with all the descriptions and such. Development team will have to be ran with a bunch of MUD nerds. There is potential since you can use the client to give it a dynamic customizable gui interface so it rids the use of a MUD client. There is much work to be done to get this off the ground!

I fully support this effort and if only because it finally allows us to close down the graphics subforum.

I do not understand the effort to turn a graphical game into a text-based game. Is that not a step backwards?

Would it be backwards? Are text-games inferior to graphic games? Are 3D games superior to 2D games? Is progression always superior?

It wouldn't say it's a step backwards, nor would I say it is a step forward... they're just two different things.

It's more of a strafe sideways, but still trotting along at the same speed

I've decided to pick this project up again for sheer awesomeness and lack of graphical effort involved. I might even make an iPhone version.
