Re: Nuclear Legend a new mud
hi, i'm sotla. i'm the primary developer and chief administrator of Stillborn and i'm also a HellMOO admin.
first, it's doubtful that any HellMOO admins even care about clones of their game. they were well aware of SheolMOO, a fork i hosted which is no longer in continued development, at the time i applied to become a programmer there. however there are plenty of hellforks already and there really don't need to be any more. HellMOO serves its purposes mostly for carebear players, InfernoMOO exists for those wanting to jump straight into PvP, HeavenMOO is a combination of the two. there's not really any other possible variants that can exist without being a straight copy of another existing fork. in addition, maintaining and developing a clone of HellMOO is a massive undertaking. i made Stillborn mostly from scratch (the part that isn't mostly includes base HellCore code) and created all of the content within it, and developing stuff for She olMOO proved to be difficult for me, and i lost morale pretty quick. i don't recommend it.
second off, to anyone speaking of Stillborn, i'd really prefer it not be advertised here or anywhere that may have the potential to provide larger influxes of players. that includes topmudsites, mudstats, mudconnector, etcetera. Stillborn is in a beta testing stage right now and the only people we want are those that can provide a good service in providing constructive feedback, criticism, and suggestions where the beta test lacks. i'm not doubting the ability of anyone here to do as described or in any of the other sites mentioned but it's suspected that the majority of people who would come in are looking only to play a game and not focus most of their experience on helping out, because it would stifle development, and anyone coming in looking for a finished game is going to be disappointed. if you insist on looking anyway, however, note that Stillborn is set to be even darker in tone than HellMOO is, and in a serious context that lets its contents on to be more disturbing and storytelling than HellMOOs shock humor.
thank you and sorry for potentially harsh wording.
