Dawn of the Titans (dott) is a MUD server that I (gtaylor) am working on for the space-themed game I’ve been kicking around in my head for a long time. It is very much a “work on it when I feel like it” project, any may never fully come to fruition as a running game.
The text-based medium is still special for me, and I think using projects such as these in order to learn new things and hone existing skills is great. Scratching multiple itches with one... stick?
dott is powered by Python, and is built on the excellent Twisted framework. CouchDB is used for data storage, but the game itself is entirely memory resident (so we’re not really using any of CouchDB‘s unique capabilities).
Warning
Before going into any further detail, it is important to note that this codebase exists for the very selfish purpose of running a single, specific game on it. I (gtaylor) am not writing this as a general-purpose codebase. I am solely focused on my eventual game, so please do not take it personally if I am not interested in your idea! But please do fork away and make it your own.
