Someone carved a number into the dirt outside one creature's shelter. The human said it was 4:10pm. The creature got irritated.

For screen reader users, text-based multiplayer games (MUDs) are often easier to access than graphical games.
So why can playing one from a web browser feel harder instead of easier?
Brandon explains it all in this interview:

Congrats to GoMud on another year of dev! 🎂

BETA OPEN: Built a game where you descend through Dante's Inferno. It watches how long you hesitate. What you take. What you break. The world quietly remembers.
Hell doesn't punish you. It studies you.
Browser-based, free. I love what I built here.

Screenshot from upcoming text-based MUD game, Mystavaria. It displays a room description, optional mini-map and interaction with an NPC. Domus of Dreams Rays of light shine through a crystal canopy overhead in stark contrast to the vaulted wood found over other rooms of the treehouse. Hundreds of silver arches in varying thicknesses cut through the domed glass ceilng, sending the light rays scattering across the room in a dazzling display of dancing amethyst and violet hues which cast their glow onto everything they touch. Pillars of white marble with embellished, glistening silver bases and capitals encompass the perimeter of the room at evenly spaced intervals, offering support to the ceiling. Gazing out from rounded glass windows set betweeen the pillars, a marvellous and dreamy panoramic view of the outside world greets you: a river of blue encircling around the roots of Arborvella below, natural grass-covered mounds blossoming with flowers to the north and a distant, towering spire to the east. A vast forest sprawls beside the spire, tendrils of green foliage reaching toward a small stone village, centred in a valley to the south. You notice exits: west You perceive: Magister Sigmund A wizened, white man suddenly catches your attention as you notice him idly fiddling with a pocketwatch. GREET SIGMUND You greet Magister Sigmund with a smile. Magister Sigmund looks up expectantly from his pocketwatch and says, "We must treasure our dreams, even when the terror is great."
Realized we introduced ourselves but never shared any screenshots of the #game in development, so here's a little Monday #MUD #nostalgia!

Worked out stat and combat system today. Going to prototype in-engine next. Was worried about making classes impactful in the world but only thing left is a small reward/branch for class dialogue. Full #BG3 dialogue reaction is big scope and doesn't fit with world. #GameDesign #TextGames #NSFWgames
Nice milestone tonight, finished the last loss scene.
While this game is (purposefully) smaller than MERCANOID, given the limited timeframe I've given myself to make it, we're still looking at around 24k words of smut...
Not including the ending, that is~.
Stay tuned! #adultgames #textgames
MERCANOID is a sci-fi Adult Text RPG I made for free last year! Under current levels of market inflation, this price has been adjusted to 'still free'!
Try it out while I cook up something new. 👁️
