SIMud/Walraven

SIMud/Walraven

Walraven is a mud based on the original SIMud mudlib. It includes a lot of elements from Roguelike games and simulates a dynamic world where plants drop seeds and grow, animals feed on plants (and each other), and players explore and build cities.

I was one of the game’s three active administrators from 2001 to 2005 and built the website (with help files, online player list, forums, code editor, world maps) and worked on whatever subsystem happens to need love. I also did a lot of work on reading and writing, the Mafia party game and the newbie school where players customize their characters and learn how to play. I helped train a half-dozen new wizards (programmers).

The mud has had bad luck with hardware failures, so the it’s been generally offline since mid-2009.
