Oh I didn't mean making a VCS! I meant making the codebase modular so that it is easy for developers not to get in each others' way. i.e. the 'Inventory' module and the 'Equipment' module. At the moment, they are Rails Engines.

Why not release under a BSD license? Certainly this is more free. Oh dear, licence wars. I think most people would say that both styles of licence have a place. In this case, Jakob has spent who knows how long working on Usurper, and now plans to release it to the community. Under a BSD licence, so...

It's hard to know what you mean by 'like usurper', but I take it you mean the 'feel' of the game world... medieval style with dark & seedy undertones, and lots of room for character interaction. New big budget games (in my opinion) have shunned a lot of features like character interaction and im...

We Love You Jake!

I've played quite a few MUDs and tabletop RPGs before, but Usurper always just had something that seemed to me to fit. Good or evil is just so simple, maybe too simple for some people, but just right for a hack'n'slash. As I've said, I want to create two streams to the project: a clone of Usurper (p...

Mainly to offer a richer experience - stuff that just isn't possible over Telnet. Also because it will be completely open, and I hope to attract a modding community like at LotGD . So if someone wants to change something to suit the type of server they want to create, they can. I also hope that due ...

Well I've made a decent start to the project, which now has a home at Gna!, but I still haven't really heard what people think about this. Do you think it's a good idea? Do you think it's not right to remake Usurper? I'd love to heard what you think, either here or by IM (PM me for my details).

As I mentioned in another post, I'd much appreciate an open-sourcing. If not, perhaps pseudo-code of the main algorithms (for authenticity's sake)? (things like drinks, bar fighting, beer stealing etc.). I've recently started a project to create a both a faithful web-based clone of Usurper, and anot...

Well yeah, that's my site (and my name). I guess if it ever gets popular it can have its own domain.

.name domains come with a nice second level email address attached too, as in first@last.name . The actual second level .name domains are not available for registration.

I've made some meagre beginnings to this project. The name is Supplanter, and it will be something of a tech demo in new web development concepts. The first stage is to create a development system to make it easy for devs to work on the code, so you might not see the beginnings of the game code for ...

Hi Usurper community =) Usurper has always been my favourite door game. I had many fun times dialling up to my local BBS and hacking away; I've even played a running game at several LAN days. Recently, I came across the web based (MySQL / PHP) LoRD clone called LotGD (G for Green, heh), and had a st...
