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:

Up next in honor of #FOSSFebruary and π Storytelling Week:
Evennia is a free and #OpenSource system for creating your own multiplayer text game.

What do multiplayer text games actually look like in 2026? π€

Halfway through this paper, I think I'm starting to get why #MUDs like Chatmud were popular.
From #Infocom to 80 Days: An oral history of #text #games and #interactive #fiction
#MUDs, #Usenet, and #OpenSource all play a part in 50 years of #IF history.

"Unreal Engine 5? Pah! Back in *my* day, graphics were made of pure imagination and ASCII characters. This article gets it. π

A 3d rendering of a castle in a big grassy field.
A 3d render of a couple of small buildings and a tree
A render on top showing two golden metallic people in front of a golden gate in the clouds, with the bottom showing a red scene with a grim reaper character
A scene showing a grassy area with trees, desert in the background with dead trees, and a 3D person with arms and legs outstretched, a phantom form overlayed.
I was looking for any info on the Hercules & Xena: Alliance of Heroes MUD by Simutronics, and I came across this retro website with some sw33t retro 3D graphics.

Dear followers! (both of you)
I've started exploring what it might look like to apply modern agentic #AI technology to classic text adventure games like #MUDs.
Check out this quick video on the subject.

Fans of #MUDs? I've hung out on TCZ off and on since 1998. It's got it's own building system / programming language, decades of places to explore, and some awesome people still hanging out daily.
The only problem? The number of people is declining.
Interested? thechattingzone.uk
While leaving, I am deeply greatful to everyone at @pioneercampus.bsky.social for making the last five years such a wonderful adventure. Special and many thanks to everyone at HPC, #MUDS and βͺ@jherzstiftung.bsky.socialβ¬ for their continued support and making our research possible.

ChatGPT: "Look buddy, if you ask me one more question about #MUDs, I'm cutting you off!"
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!

Say what you will about ChatGPT, but it helped me - pretty much incompetent with SQL - debug and fix a blocker of a problem with the NPC vendors on OtherSpace MUSH. #gamedev #muds #mushes

Bartleβs MUD1 turned TRPG logic into real-time multiplayer. GW noticed but missed the model. MUDs were digital dungeons without masters. #MUDs #OnlineGamingHistory

Great to see some old-school and brand new players showing up for the βearly accessβ for the OtherSpace reboot. Iβve got a good feeling. #gamedev #muds
I think of my craziest thoughts during my commute.
So pondering a browser-based MUD.
Like _all_ browser. The MUD "server" itself will run as a web worker. Communication between the UI and the game will happen asynchronously with messages. The UI portion becomes super light weight.
