@Roadspike said in Ares & Discord Integration:

I’ve been on several games with Discord Integration. I’m a fan of it, because there are times when I little hit of that game-derived dopamine, but can’t log in to the actual game. But I also think that it’s very important to only have game channels on the Discord (except maybe an ‘Images’ channel or something like that) because otherwise it feels like more of a Discord game than a MUSH (even if all the RP takes place from the web portal). I want players to be able to have the full (or very nearly full, just without image spam) experience from the web portal/client.

Yeah, if the Discord is limited to the game channels, then Discord just becomes a supplementary client with which to engage with the game. That would be my ideal, because then you don’t run the risk of there being game-focused public chatter and development happening that completely excludes those who don’t want to Discord.

You need Jesus

EDIT: Wrong thread, my bad.

Holy shit, I’m in love with all this. I love the non-combat conflict system. This isn’t being used in Ares by chance is it?

Thank you! (And thank you too @IoleRae!)

Unfortunately, no, it’s not in Ares. It’s in Evennia. I played Arx before I ever touched a single Ares game, so I looked into Evennia first and somehow didn’t turn the project into a smouldering heap of wreckage after a few months. Two years later, I’m almost done coding, haha. I never expected to have made it this far.

When the scene finally slows down enough for me to finish an emote and I post it, feeling good about myself…

Only to realise my client was scrolled up and everyone has moved on and my emote now makes no sense. 😭

I haven’t logged on to my main game in over a week because I was on vacation and then came back into a work shitstorm so just reading this thread has made me want to roll into a ball like a hedgehog.

Let’s go full chaotic evil with it, then, and put a coffee mug of water with a tea bag in it before microwaving.

Accurate metaphor for my posing style.

Your rickroll efforts are puny compared to this.

there, @Snackness, I said it.
