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

MUSH Commands – A Quick Primer MUSH commands come in a couple of flavors. The first are hard-coded commands that are built into the source code of PennMUSH. The second are soft-coded commands, designed by programmers working on the MUSH and generally customized for the needs of that specific MUSH. Most soft-coded commands are preceded by a plus sign (+), while hard-coded commands tend to have no prefix symbol except for the occasional 

A quick primer on OtherSpace MUSH commands (while I continue to work on a new newbie guide!) #gamedev #muds #mushes

That said: if you’ve always wanted to try making a MUSH but didn’t want to have to go through the hoops of setting up a server - here’s an opportunity! #gamedev #muds #mushes

We don’t want to put severe limits on themes, but obviously we’re not interested in anything that promotes real-world racism or hatemongering. #gamedev #muds #mushes

Eventually, we’re developing a tool called the Verse Wand that would give you the ability to add starships and planets (if you want to do sci-fi stuff) and provide commands for expanding your grid. #gamedev #muds #mushes

What would this entail? Initially, you’d make a character on OtherSpace MUSH and we’d set you up with your own universe in the database and a starting grid of rooms. #gamedev #muds #mushes

Clawed Fist Fleet The Clawed Fist Fleet is the Parallax’s ultimate weapon of conquest, the embodiment of the Vox’s will projected across the galaxy. It is both sword and shield, the relentless arm of the Nall that brings submission to the unworthy and obliteration to the defiant. Every ship, soldier, and commander within the fleet serves a singular purpose: to expand the Parallax’s domain and enforce its eternal supremacy.

Here's the rundown on how the Parallax military, the Clawed Fist Fleet, is organized on OtherSpace MUSH. #gamedev #muds #mushes #lore

[IC News] TK Tavern Owner Releases Tell-All Memoir Axor Rix, the grizzled and notorious owner of the Rusted Blade tavern on Tomin Kora, has rocked the galactic underworld with the release of his highly anticipated memoir, Drinks, Deals, and Death: My Life on Tomin Kora. Chronicling his decades-long career as a barkeep and deal-broker in the lawless heart of the galaxy, Rix's book sheds light on the murky, violent, and often bizarre dealings that define life on Tomin Kora.

[ROLEPLAYING LOG] Signals in the Shadows Sign up for the OtherSpace MUSH newsletter! Here's an OtherSpace scene set on the planet Ungstir. I asked my new AI assistant, OtherSpace MUSHbot, to serve as game master. I played Vechkov Prague, while the bot provided the plot and acted as the NPCs. The heavy clang of Vechkov Prague’s boots echoes down the rust-stained steel corridors of Ungstir’s lower mining districts.

ChatGPT did a passable job generating a roleplaying scenario for my OtherSpace MUSH character, Vechkov Prague. I'm curious whether this may have some applications for the future! #gamedev #muds #mushes

So, after a few hours of flirting with the idea of starting fresh with a more modern platform, we're sticking with our Millennium Falcon of a codebase. C'mon, baby. Hold together. #gamedev #muds #mushes

Approved Townsend's new character application - and set up their ship, the IND Lollipop. #gamedev #muds #mushes

The options aren’t overwhelming in their appeal. We’d have to rebuild our space and cargo system in any engine. PennMUSH is old and not getting any updates, BUT it works and we’re familiar with it. #gamedev #muds #mushes

The PennMUSH platform running @otherspacemush.bsky.social doesn’t get much active development anymore. So we might be starting fresh with something else. RhostMUSH? Evennia, maybe? #gamedev #muds #mushes

[ROLEPLAYING] 5 Benefits of Writing First-Person, Present Tense Creates a sense of immediacy: Writing in first-person present tense can give the reader the feeling that they are experiencing the events of the scene in real-time. This can create a sense of urgency and excitement, which can make the scene more engaging. Deepens reader engagement with the participants: By writing in the first-person present tense, the participants can experience the scene with a deeper emotional connection, making them more invested in the story and the outcome.

On OtherSpace, we write in first-person, present tense. Here are some reasons why! #gamedev #muds #mushes

The second is daring. Scandalous, even.

I've spent a lot of time on #MUSHes and #MOOs in my day and I've always appreciated their internal programming languages and virtual machines. MOOs were especially amazing but I did most of my work on (World of Darkness) MUSHes.
