MIST0426/CT-NICK_MONTFORT-TWISTY_LITTLE_PASSAGES

Mistigram: looking for representation from the non-fiction field for last month’s new literary MIST0426 artpack collection, Cthulu opted to make an #ANSIart adaptation of the maze-like cover art to #NickMontfort’s 2005 history of the #textadventure computer game genre, #TwistyLittlePassages.

What happens when a few students in 1997 set out to build their own sci-fi game - and end up creating one of the most unique multiplayer text games ever made? 🚀

In this interview, lead developer Morwen talks about Cryosphere's origins, design decisions, and where the game is headed next.

Recently, as I was sweltering hot - I was curious what my friends around the world were feeling. The KTCZ News Station was born.

Add yourself, check the 'forecast', and see whats going on around the world!

Before Discord, before Minecraft, before social media… we were already hanging out in worlds made entirely of words.

Come see what it’s like in 2025: thechattingzone.uk port 8342!

The date is official! 🎉🥳

After five years of building, dreaming, breaking, fixing, and re-dreaming again, Mystavaria will finally enter Open Alpha on August 7, 2025 — celebrating the five year anniversary since our #MUD project was born.

We are very excited (and also a little nervous) to share our world with you at last!

My merchant game is a text-based game where you play as a merchant, exploring a (probably, we'll see how it goes) randomly generated world. The current idea is it will be a resource and economy game, where you build your reputation, form connections with NPCs, make trade routes, and profit, of course. Expect random devlogs to come about the thoughts and struggles I have.

Open alpha is coming soon and we are making all the preparations! Our website got a huge overhaul and is now full of information about the world, classes, skills, and a new player guide. Check it out at http://www.mystavaria.com and keep your eyes peeled for the alpha date coming soon!
