Updates! I'm almost through the Auxiliary system hell. (Jobs, BB, Notes, etc.). This is probably the stuff I like writing the least - but I'm getting through it!

The character generation commands are buttery smooth and hopefully well laid out. I'll leave that to those that come in to test, though!

Grd building has started. It's so fun to see some of my old stomping grounds on the list - and cringe-worthy to see others (Outer SE).

There's still so much to do!

I've also been moving forward on the visual side of the build. Here's my current direction for the landing page and a wiki article.

Not a lot of updates, but steady progress.

Thanks for the read!

It's totally been a juggle. I need the same base systems for both games (A BB style system, a jobs system, a notes system, events, scenes, finger - etc.) It all has to be written from scratch.

Cyberpunk is a VERY close second for me. And, I think the work that I've been doing with V5 will just benefit being able to facilitate the more involved/complex systems of CP:R and then my ultimate goal: Mekton Zeta Plus.

There's a difference between coding these things, and RUNNING them however, and takes a special kind of person - if I'm being honest. I'll mark these projects as successful and done probably after a small beta period to make sure the code gets a good shake down.

I just feel these things need to exist as options.

Hi all! A bit of an ADHD update this time, but with some serious progress. I finally took the time to sit down and learn Evennia. WoooaaaahhhH!!!

I've been having a blast working on Cyberpunk Red in the /hopes/ that there will be interest (Hard to find these days!) When my wife and a few others wanted to try out Vampire 5th edition with solid interest.

Couple that with my interest in the Werewolf 5th Edition, which comes out at the end of August. I decided to lay down some code and see where it goes.

I'm not sure if this is a full-on game or just a library for people to work off of. I honestly have minimal time to wrangle cats because of Job responsibilities.

Chargen is 'done' save for some data entry, Notes, Jobs is underway, BBS - the most challenging part about Evennia is the auxiliary code that must be written to have a playable MUSH-Like.

Let me know if you're interested in helping write/playtest. I'm keeping things extremely limited right now - and caveat that nothing may come from this experiment than a starting place for someone else.

Under Construction Repo (Alpha stage, be warned)

This week's /visual/ project is getting the data-entry pages for the wiki designed. Step one, toss boot-strap right into the garbage.

Wow. I've gotten a lot of feedback. Way more than I was expecting; that's awesome. Thanks, folks.

So the overwhelming vote is for Cyberpunk Red. I hear you.
I am taking a break from writing MUSH for what feels like forever, and now I am trying out Evennia. I have made significant progress in setting up stats and skills, and once the sheet is ready, I can start inviting people to beta tests.

I'll make sure to try and keep you all as up-to-date as I can. It may be a bit between them though, just to warn. Infrastructure rarely makes for good updates (for the rest of you) I've found. :3

@Ganymede Hundred percent! I'd rather get right to the fun than build another six months for a community maybe. Neon City is good fun. I think those willing to give it a chance might enjoy it! Thanks for the feedback!

@Nessa, I've gotten really bad at logging into this place. Life hit me for a while, but thanks to AI tools, my job is nothing now - so I have loads of free time, haha!

I've recently been reconsidering Cyberpunk Red. I found a game called Neon City Overdrive that's super narrative and fast.

I'm just not sure what people want more/would work better. A rules-light system to promote RP or a crunchy title (Shadowrun 3rd, cyberpunk) I should build around.

Any feedback is amazing!

I did a little site updating in place of being extra productive at work today.
I'm digging how more dynamic the layout is now than the above. Code is going well; I'm about halfway through setting up the commands I need for the +sheet and +cg commands; woo! Still so much to do - but little victories, right?

TL;DR Cyberpunk Red. I'm attempting.

I had a mighty need to practice Python for work. Being employed for a game company, I thought writing a MUSH-Like was the decent thing to do. Plus, Evennia 1.0-Dev has a few tools that I want to tinker out of the box.

I'm well aware that there's a lot to do. So far, I've been focusing on character generation. Stats/skills are done. Cybernetics is underway - I'm saving the lifepath for last. I'm just not sure how to handle that yet.

If there's interest, I can make updates. I was posting partially to give a heads up and make the project more natural for me - partial to see if it's even worth going forward with the exercise (I totally think so!)

More later. Thanks for reading!

Starting to think about sheet design now. There was a lot of deliberation over what system use for this. Freeform Universal by Peril Planet /almost/ won. In the end though, we needed something with a little more crunch for settling disputes without too much need for staff interpretation. So! We went with Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying system. One of my favorites for years.

No Rest for the Wicked!

Oh! And my loading screen. It's worth a LOL to those who know - but essential Portland.

Woot! Login system complete. Today is about getting the wiki formatted up so my content creators can start adding context to the game.

Development is going well on this! Homepage created and responsive - working on login service now. I'm going serverless on this experiment. - so I have roughly half the development time. No, I'm not using MUSH, but I /did/ start this thread with the term MUSH-like. ^_^

@dizzy Awesome! That's what I'm hoping for, haha! If I can even get a few people to stress test this thing I'd be over the moon.

@devrex Thank you.

I've been busy using my powers for evil again! I've really been digging this design as it's coalesced into a love letter to 90's WoD game-books so I thought I'd share. Putting together some samples to drum up work. Perfect opportunity to make this, and show off the tech stack behind it. Gotta prove that I actually am a coder who also designs.

Like AB and crazy enough to dive back in? Shoot me a message and I'll tell you more about the project. I can use creative minds. All news, help, and associated files are managed via CMS, so no crazy commands to write other than some light markdown.

Some screens:

For a very very close fallen friend. Anita Blake was her absolute favorite. RIP.

No Rest for the Wicked!

What's going on all! Your coding bear here with an update! The API for Mush-Format has been stable for a few months now. So... drumroll ... It's time for 1.0 release! I've had some great help getting the core formatted up to snuff. Thank you all for your feedback!

https://github.com/digibear-io/mush-format

And a live demo editor: https://format.ursamu.io.

Any testing and feedback are welcome!

Another update! I've added some functionality to the GET request feature!

Now you can pull from git repositories directly!
format.ursamu.io/api?include=git:lcanady/archive-test

Or! You can drill in even further:

format.ursamu.io/api?include=git:lcanady/archive-test/code/file1.mush

Next, I'll be working on going the other direction - compressed code to pretty code. The GUI is fun, but I have to admit - being able to shortcut right to the output has proven hella useful.

Enjoy!

What's going on everyone? Been a while since I've posted!
Still writing mushcode?
Still working with a single line of text?
Wish there was a way to make your code human readable?

Enter Mush-Formatter!

The basic rules: Any line that has something in the first character will count as a new command. Indents matter!

&cmd_awesome #123 =  
    @pemit %#=This command is awesome!!;
    @pemit %#=Another thing!

will translate to:
&cmd_awesome #123 = @pemit %#=This command is awesome!!; @pemit %#=Another thing!

As an example, let's take a look at some of @Thenomain's pretty formatted code sample. Now, when we put this through the formatter we get... This!

The interactive version of the formatter is available at format.ursamu.io

The non-interactive 'fast' formatter is available for GET requests at format.ursamu.io/api?include=url/to/text.txt

Thanks for looking!

I wasn't sure if I was going to post here or in critters. We lost our 16 y/o husky yesterday afternoon. I'm heartbroken. I couldn't sleep last night - so I decided to memorialize her in the only way I know. I've debating putting her on something to make a physical keepsake.

RIP Kai. Gone but never forgotten.

A little more progress! Web chargen is coming along well - nothing really flashy to show! But I did make some progress on the Client effort this AM. Mobile first and all - it's coming along!

More updates later, thanks for stopping by!
