Mudlet For Linux

Considering the plethora of games we have at our disposal nowadays, it's somewhat difficult to imagine how gaming was three or four decades ago.

1975 saw the creation of the first MUD (short for multi-user dungeon) game. A MUD is a multiplayer real-time virtual game that's usually text-based, the predecessor of today's online games.

MUDs involve lots of elements we usually associate with today's gaming world such as role-play, hack and slash, player versus player, interactive fiction, and so forth, and players usually interact with each other and the surrounding world by typing commands (very similar to natural language).

If you're wondering if you can play a MUD game on your Linux computer and bring back some of that neat nostalgia, the answer is YES. With the help of Mudlet.

Mudled is a gaming platform focused mainly on enhancing the whole MUD gameplay experience.

It provides a comprehensive toolkit and supports a wide range of protocols for players and creators. This allows both parties to create a bespoke, immersive game-playing experience.

For example, MUD developers can use the app to build and add features to their games, while players can use the app's massive toolkit to automate and script various parts of the gameplay, as well as visually tweak the games.

One of the main advantages of Mudlet is its fully customizable interface. This allows users to perfectly tweak each aspect of the GUI, and ultimately improve their experience.

Mudlet supports simultaneous gameplay, it has a very complex and useful mapping system, support for Lua Scripting and API, support for various MUD protocols, secure connection support, and an in-app IRC client.

Another highlight is the in-app script editor, as well as the ability to import and export profile data.

It's wonderful to see the passion that went into making Mudlet, and it's proof that the team of developers behind the project understand that the only way forward is through the integration of modern services. For example, the app supports Discord.

There's no getting around the fact that MUD gaming is still a very niche aspect of gaming. That makes Mudlet a bit more than just a simple MUD client. Considering the amount of passion that has gone into it, it's probably the best possible gateway for new players into the MUD community.
