The Grapevine Gazette - Issue #2

Welcome to the second issue of the Grapevine Gazette. Shortly after launching last month’s issue, The MUD Coders Guild Newsletter was revived. Since the Gazette was set up to replace it, going forward the Gazette will instead be all things MUD community related.

If you run a game and have updates or upcoming events send them in for inclusion. And don’t forget to sign your game up for Grapevine!

Join us over at the MUD Coders Guild on Slack.

The MUD Coders Guild Game Jam is currently under way and half over! Enter the (Multi-User) Dungeon will be a 4 week long game jam running from April 17, 2019 to May 15, 2019. The theme will be one room. One-room means pretty much what it says: there must be one room and only one room in your MUD. Check out the itch jam for more information.

This month in Grapevine includes a new test server for expanding the web client, OAuth through telnet, and a few other web client changes.

Lots of new code updates, new skills, command updates, and holiday events such as St. Patrick’s day.

New for Covenant MUD is the Tierceron Construction Set, a Ruby on Rails application to manage the content of Covenant MUD.

Guilds are being tweaked to make them more meaningful, also upcoming is a brand new Newbie Academy.

New set of hero equipment, more days to sign in with alts, and next month will have a Great Item auction.

If you have updates for your game, let us know about them! Don’t forget to sign up for Grapevine and get your game listed.

There are currently no upcoming events listed on Grapevine. If you are the admin of a game, don’t forget you can add them from the game management page. Any upcoming events will make next month’s newsletter!
