What is CaveMUD?

CaveMUD is an old-school style Multi-User Dungeon text based fantasy game.

Why is it called CaveMUD?

I don't really know. I just thought it sounded cool. The first text based game that I played was DoorMUD and CaveMUD seemed about as logical for a name. I also am a huge fan of RuneScape, and loved all of the caves you could explore (there is a lot more than Caves in CaveMUD, but the name kinda stuck).

What engine is CaveMUD based on?

CaveMUD uses a completely new engine, written from scratch in C++. It is based on an engine I wrote in high school in 2014-2015 (it has been completely re-written since then, but the idea came from that original engine). It is designed to be super efficient and extensible, with multi-threading from day one.

Current Progress

• Networking base
• Basic game loop
• Logging system
• Telnet Protocol Support
• CaveScript (a scripting language for CaveMUD)
• UI Framework (Telnet UI)
• Character Creation
• Quest System
• Combat System
• Item System
• Skill Tree
• World Building Tools

(More will be added as I think of them)

What is the license?

CaveMUD is GPLv3.
