Coming Soon: Wayward MUCK?
9 years ago
So, here's a very interesting prospect for all the Roleplayers out there.
First for those that don't know, MUCK stands for Multi-User Chat Kingdom. Think of it as a text-based MMO. The most popular of these would likely be Tapestries. It's a place where you create character accounts to role play in a world that is ripe for exploration.
YEARS ago, like maybe a decade or more... I started to work with a friend to create my own MUCK for an old community which I am no longer apart of. For about a year I and people from the community worked to create a transformation themed MUCK. But that was a very troubled build, too many cooks with no one having a strong vision for how things should go, as well as my friend and main coder having RL issues the whole project shut down.
Recently, that friend has gotten back in contact with me now that he's able to be online again. He told me he still had the core for that old MUCK if I was still interested. Though at the moment he's actually totally rebuilding the core, so none of the old stuff is there atm, but he still has the core... several states away, but he's gonna try to get it since I feel like there is stuff there that can be used as ground work.
So that brings me to the big question: What should I do with it? As said, I'm no longer part of the old community and I feel that things could be done much better. So what I'd like to do is find people that would be interested in helping me create the world of Wayward, or something similar to it. The school, the city etc. It'd be a place for fans to come create students or teachers or whatever and be part of the universe in their own way.
It's going to be at least a month, before its even ready for things to start; but I feel putting the news out now can drum up interest and we can maybe decide ideas in the meanwhile.

This is such fantastic news, coming from someone who plays a MUCK(FS). Sadly, I know nothing about Wayward, and I can't code, so I wouldn't be much help. But I figured it might be appreciated if I came to cheer you on. I definitely think this should be done, and I'll try to help how I can.

Code is pretty much all done. What Jo really needs is builders that know enough to use. @dig, open and have good strong description backgrounds. Code is done, but building phase will be coming as soon the MU* goes hot on a server. Basically if you can use roomhammer (editroom) and know how to link here=it's parent environment that is what we need. After all the easy way to do this is to map out the are for the builders, and then have the descriptions ready so that the rooms can be dug and opened to each other. Really basic stuff. All the complex stuff I will be handling.

I was a staff member for FS at one point, some time ago, and I did use the digging feature from time to time. Not a lot, as that wasn't my staff job, and I'd likely be rusty and still need to learn a lot about the function. I certainly don't have a good, strong background in descriptions either, so I'm not sure if it'll be of much use.

OP
Your one of the people I was planning to ask to come help regardless. Being a staffer means you could still be helpful to me.
