ExVenture - Text based MMORPG

ExVenture is a text based MMORPG. I’ve been working on it for the past year or so, and it’s had a lot of cool things get spun off, such as Gossip, and Squabble. You can find it at exventure.org and on GitHub.

Some of the fun features ExVenture has:

  • Web client to play the game
  • Telnet access for standard MUD clients
  • Can be formed in a cluster
  • Powerful web admin panel to manage the game
  • Prometheus metrics to see what’s going on
  • Cross game chat via Gossip
  • Many more

This is all MIT licensed so feel free to spin up your own game and poke around the code. If anyone is interested there is also a discord server. I’ve got a game up on midmud.com if anyone wants to try before you download!

I also post monthly updates on my blog, the latest post is here.

I was able to listen to it during commuting back to home, I really enjoyed that episode and it reminded me of the time I actively played MUDs, I really need to take some time off from job and family to play some MUDs again…

I’ve been working on getting ExVenture in a state for anyone to deploy, instead of something I hacked together. I have ansible set up along with a simple deploy script. This sets up a much nicer environment than I previously had.

I also have a hosted option if anyone is interested in a game without having to deploy it, which was fun to get going via terraform.
