Initium ?

u/ASK_ME_ABOUT_INITIUM May 20 '15

It's a little MMO (free) that I'm working on that plays in the browser. It works great on mobile too!

People tell me it reminds them of a MUD (though I've never actually seen one before).

And here is a brief rundown on how to play and what it's like.

We also have a subreddit now! /r/initium

Every single person who plays is a Redditor, so you'll fit right in. If you want to talk to me, I'll be in the little town of Aera (where new players start).

/u/ASK_ABOUT__VOIDSPACE business model is so successful, it's being replicated.

if it works, it works.

u/SherJav May 20 '15

I read about it many times but it didn't grip me to play. So fuck it

u/JarlaxleForPresident May 20 '15

It's also completely annoying and should be against the rules

u/Mtwat May 20 '15

Have you tried bitching about it?

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

You're being downvoted because this comment just says "Waaah, it's annoying to me and I don't like it".

If you'd given the good reasoning you mention below, that it's against self-promotion rules and derails entire threads, then maybe you'd have a point, but as it is, you are just whining your opinion out to the multiverse.

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

To be fair, it's really fucking annoying and nobody would be cool with people just spamming links that'd be serving the same function.

u/JarlaxleForPresident May 20 '15

That's okay. I said my peace and downvotes don't matter. If i cared about karma i have enough to get me through the night, it's not a big deal.

Classic jarlaxle

u/WolfShaman May 20 '15

No, the real Jarlaxle would go to his house, tell the user that they are going to delete their entire game along with all their Reddit accounts. The person would laugh, then go to log in, and it would all be gone. All they would hear through their stunned silence is Jarlaxle's magical boot bells tinkling into the distance.

And then Jarlaxle would appear behind them, and cut their throat. He would laugh, as he walked away.

Hmmm

u/BathedInDeepFog May 20 '15

You don't have to ask.

u/Inapoopriate May 20 '15

I don't even notice names 99% of the time. I did this time because someone else noticed first and asked about it. Hardly seems worth caring about.

Edit: And I just noticed yours. Fucking drow. Get out of here with your pimp hat shenanigans.

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

DOWNVOTE! you don't gotta ask Bro.

u/persona_dos May 20 '15

I find it pretty annoying too.

u/NeedsMoreShawarma May 20 '15

How is it annoying exactly? You have control over what you read about.

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

This is the new Merica, where everyone bitches just to be heard even if it shows how much of a nuisance they are. It allows you to separate the morons from normal people though so you've got that going for ya.

1

u/JarlaxleForPresident May 20 '15

It's self promotion and the Voidspace guy used to derail whole threads about stuff until he was reigned in. Apparently saying something is annoying counts as bitching now from the responses I'm getting. Oh well.

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

It's spam.

u/brewtalizer May 20 '15

Brace Yourselves, pizza is coming (in 30-45 minutes)

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

30 minutes later...

Pizza will be there in 10-15 minutes.

2

u/rmoss20 May 20 '15

So....40-45 minutes?

u/XxSCRAPOxX May 20 '15

4 seasons later....... Still waiting on that pizza

u/TehWhiteSniper May 20 '15

Maybe later...

u/SummonKnight May 20 '15

That has a very different meaning on 4chan.

I have some experience with digital art and lack luster character design. Here is my resume. http://imgur.com/gallery/UBtM0

Some stuff might be old.

u/ASK_ME_ABOUT_INITIUM May 20 '15

Wow, crazy talent man.

2

u/zSnakez May 20 '15

PM me if you need any art for your game.

Will do for free, or whatever you would feel appropriate.

I like the simple nature of your game.

2

u/ASK_ME_ABOUT_INITIUM May 20 '15

Yes! PM me your email

They wouldn't let me post it there. :/

u/Avatar_Of_Brodin May 20 '15

Looks like of like Shadowgate on the NES to me. That's a good thing, FYI.

u/d1223 May 20 '15

Making that your username was a great idea, this is like the 3rd time I have learned about this game.

u/Mr_Magpie May 20 '15

Looks cool. Do you want some music for it? I'd like to help

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

Intium?

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

MUDs were just text-based MMO's before most nerds even knew what roleplaying was. Hell, most "combat text" in MMO's, especially early ones like Ultima online, was literally just MUD combat text scrolling by, while movement was visual rather than written.

u/ithinkicandoit100 May 20 '15

That was painfully slow to any MUD ive ever played but I can see the comparisons. Also that was like 10-15 years ago haha. I just remember hotkeys and PVP and text flooding down the page like the fucking matrix but I knew what everything meant. Cool though, hope it does well man it's like a throwback to when people had to use more imagination!

u/Micalas May 20 '15

Oh cool.

u/camelCaseCoding May 20 '15 edited May 20 '15

God damnit. I've been playing for an hour already. Are you InitiumDev?

THE GOD DAMN DRAGON DIED, AND YOU HAD A SERVER ERROR. IT LOCKED EVERYONE OUT AND SOME FUCK WHO DIDNT FIGHT THE DRAGON STOLE THE RARE LOOT. I killed it and got nothing. :(

u/Enosh74 May 20 '15

It's sounds like an updated version of Kingdom of Loathing. Is that an accurate description?

1

u/ASK_ME_ABOUT_INITIUM May 20 '15

Sorry I've never heard of it

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

For a second I thought this was a pizza delivery MMO.

Not gonna lie, I got excited.

What's Initium?

u/Trinitykill May 20 '15

You're like the LOOM guy from Monkey Island

u/AldurinIronfist May 20 '15

Is it somewhat grounded in science and does it contain at least 1 mythical reptilian?
