Minigames in MUSHes
-
They’re as rare as coders these days, but still! Are there any minigames you’ve played with, within the mush setting, that really stuck out to you? That you found engaging but not too distracting? Maybe a better world would be narrative mechanic.
I’m talking about like… perhaps animal breeding or crafting perfume or modeling an outfit. Some of this might bleed into MUDs but I understand there was some kind of hunting system in Firan. I guess oyster shucking would count?

@Yam I think a lot of Vampire games end up with feeding minigames before too long because trying to schedule feeding scenes for whatever number of players you have eventually will eat all of your time.
That said, if you want crazy minigame fu coded for your game (or just a good coder in general), I would talk to @LeeRoyBatty. They’re absolutely chock full of ideas about how games can be run. (Ask them about +horatio).

I’m obsessed w minigames. I will forever remembering Firan’s many minigames, and you’ve heard me talk about the stupid satisfaction I got going out to hunt for geese and bring home to make roast poultry so much that it made it into your OP. I just want minigames to play. Minigames that support RP. Minigames that support plots. Minigames I can play for funsies.

I liked the perfume creation option on Arx, but that’s because I’m a) obsessed with perfume and scent IRL and b) found out that some MUs still had an @smell command hard-coded in. I thought it was hilarious that I could set a desc for anyone that wanted to sniff my character. I don’t think most people ever even realized it was there, but at least one friend and I had a hilarious time dropping stupid little surprises in there for each other. When you got the LOL response, you knew they’d finally read it and it was time to swap it out for something else that’d crack them up.

PS - This. My kingdom for a coder. I’ve been sitting on content for a WoD Vampire game for three months, partially finished because I’ve had three different people make vague noises (but only vague noises) at me about an Ares plugin to enable it all go silent.

@Yam Why yes of course, I bring it up all the time.
