We're definitely still here; my guess is that it's just the email list change that some people haven't caught up with yet. Stuff is still definitely happening, for example the Alter Aeon events that are running right now. Dennis Towne Alter Aeon MUD http://www.alteraeon.com

rt of that is because we wanted to make a good game, not because we wanted to make a lot of cash. EA seems to me exactly opposite: it feels like they want to make money, and the game quality is irrelevant as long as the money pours in. Dennis Towne Alter Aeon MUD http://alteraeon.com On Tue, De

Why exactly do you need the contact details for gnuplot developers? What are you trying to do? As far as I know it's basically unmaintained (because it's finished). On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 5:08 AM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > Contact details are in the man page, try a google search on man gnuplot >

One thing to keep in mind regarding MSP is that it's only "sortof" a protocol. The specification is really unclear when it comes to implementing things, and it doesn't define almost all of the use cases that actually matter to modern games. I sat down at one point and started writing an update to

You almost certainly don't want to do this; yes, it has good odds of conflicting with your AA configuration. It's best to just download a new copy of mushclient and build up configs for other games in a completely separate directory. -dentin Alter Aeon MUD http://www.alteraeon.com On Thu, Jun 1

I understand that there's some basic stellar support in mush-z, but I have no idea how that works. You'd probably have to ask on AA. The address is stellaraeon.com, port 4000. We're still working on it, and recently created a new universe for it with different stars and some extra features the o

As a sighted developer to a blind consumer, asking one of you who knows how to write code to join the team would probably not have worked. The problem is that making a visual game blind accessible isn't just hard, it's really, really, really hard, and sometimes outright impossible. A good example

[crossposted to audiogames.net] TL/DR: Stellar Aeon is a multiplayer text game you can play with mud clients. It's now officially open, but still under development. The address is stellaraeon.com, port 4000. I haven't set up a website yet. We've come a pretty long way in the last year or so.
