link?

I actually had to take the server down a few days ago due to a bug crashing it every time someone logged on so you can't play it right now but here you go: http://canvaslegacy.com/

The bug is fixed but I forgot to branch the repo when I started on the new patch so can't deploy anything right now (since I'm working in master).

It's a browser game that requires no account so normally you would be able to open the link and start playing immediately.

Some media in case anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/pg/canvaslegacy/photos/

This might be considered rough for a commercial project, but I can tell it has its own unique character, and I really like that.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that. Being one guy doing all the coding and graphics that's all I can ask for.

Looks awesome! I've been working on something like this as a hobby project too. I used to do a lot of MUD programming back in the day - it's nice having a project that is never really finished that you can always work on.

Thank you! I never did MUD programming but I played a lot of MUDs. I always dreamt of making my own though and a lot of my old ideas have been incorporated in this.

And yes, it will probably never be finished but that's the beauty of it. It's my own sandbox I can always work on.

Do you have anything to share?

Hah, I wish. Still working on some of the basics.

If you're looking to make a MUD not from scratch, I recommend checking out the ranvier MUD Engine[1].
