Hollow is Online! Making Text Based RPGs more accessible.

Game Title: Hollow

Playable Link: https://hollowonline.com

Platform: Text-based MMORPG

Description: Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the basic idea is to bring back some of the classic text-based gameplay, but make it a little more accessible. Many titles in this genre require an immense amount of research and extra tools in order to have fun in the world. I am trying to open up many of those tools right away (mechanics, commands, helpers, etc.) so that there isn't as much of the research to develop a character. This is very much a beta project and will see many updates and changes, but your feedback is very welcome.

Some updates from last post:

  • Incroporating dungeon-style play in some areas within the game, creating individual indstances for groups.
  • Added weather atmospheres, including no-visability weather that minimizes information displayed to the user (this only happens 1.5% of the time, so quite rare)
  • Improved some of the vitals tracking and messaging
  • Cleaned up a few bugs

Notes:

  • I am working on a good Discord / Twitch workflow for login, but it isn't currently up yet.
  • Many of the messaged to other characters in the room (other than your own) are still a little buggy.
  • Spells only consist of a basic spell for each class, but I will start working on more advance spells for higher levels.

Free to Play Status: Free to play!

Involvement: I am a solo developer in putting this together.

I am also adding in a few AI elements to help make the world come to life.
