Hey! Apologies for not getting around to the discord offer. I've just checked in now.
And yes I managed to get a steam key! Thank you so much its really appreciated.
Ah I see. MUD hmm... I wonder if this was the game I remember playing long ago and since I could not remember the name I did not get to continue. There was a time I did a CLI only challenge in university for a few months. I played allot of text based games during that time and there was an online text based game where you role played with people online. I did not get too far in since my role play skill was not too great but I still think back to that quite fondly. I remember being a werewolf or something because cool factor and instead of going on a rampage one of the first things I did was go for a haircut and had to actually talk to the barber. :D
There are experiences like that where due to how little is visually displayed that the imagination runs wild a lot more.
Anyway I am honored by your attention but should not ramble on too much. I am just so glad that you have made a game like this. A few years back I was looking for good ascii type games but I did not really find many that stuck with me. (That new calendar thing on steam is how I discovered this recently btw.)
I was also into dwarf fortress but before steam release the controls always got me in that game but I was happy to support Tarn and Zach on steam and that got me into it in a big way... But even though there is ascii setting it took me away form ascii for DF. (Glass floors are too cool.)
Anyway I mostly played quite a bit of Warsim. So ideally had always fallen more into the strategy line of games so this has been right up my alley. I still have allot to learn though as I play. Can't wait for the weekend!
But I am really rambling so: Thank you, best of wishes and highest respect.
