Tried out #Evennia with some friends yesterday - it's a popular #MUD / #MOO / #MUCK / etc construction set - we bounced around the tutorial world a bit and tried creating objects / rooms to play around with it. Seemed like an OK starting point but I wished it was more "opinionated" - there's a lot of class inheritance and Python needed to add functionality, which the authors assume you'd want to customize for your game in ways they couldn't predict.

But, idk, I wish that either it took some firmer stances on things (e.g. why am I allowed to teleport into another player's inventory? yes, "any Object can be a container for more Objects" is a theoretical design idea, but cmon really?) - OR - I wish it shipped with more "batteries". Would have been nice to have e.g. a stock object with a "use" verb that fires a canned phrase, instead of having to code that. Or one that teleports you, or a "clothes" you can "wear", and so on.

after a lot of digging, TIL that the original programmer of MOO was Stephen White, a canadian who was a student at the U of Waterloo in ontario at the time. he also wrote TinyMUCK (a descendent of TinyMUD) in the same period, but it’s not clear to me how much overlap there was between those codebases.

edit: in case you’re unfamiliar with MOOs, MUCKs, MUSHes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOO

his AlphaMOO was then picked up by Pavel Curtis at Xerox PARC and rewritten into (beta, and then) LambdaMOO. everyone remembers Curtis’s contributions but I never see White mentioned.

what I find fascinating about this is that on the basis of pure code and design, MOOs and MUCKs are generally written with an eye for social interaction, creative expression, society-building and cooperation. compare that with the many descendents of MUDs which prioritize PvP and PvE combat/killing over all else.

the canadian connection is fascinating to me, because i don’t think this is accidental. there’s an implicit value shift in virtual world design at the code level. sure, people *can* build combat modules for MOOs and MUCKs, but they were not part of the base loadout.

when it comes to design, what you leave out is just as loud as what you put in.

I feel absolutely ancient, having to explain a MUCK to someone and them laughing about it being an interesting concept...

Work, Sadamasa Motonaga
oil and gravel on canvas.

Back to work today. This seems vaguely human-shaped which would make the messy top part the head and so maybe the mental state. It could be that the artist had something else in mind but that's my reaction to it. I love that they used gravel to get that texture.
