There’s an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It’s in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it’s one of my goto games.
Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you’re into there’s at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It’s actually novel to fly under the radar for once.
What do you do that doesn’t have a community associated with it?
I really like this one MUD. I’m super casual. I guess about 200 people play. Which in the grand scheme of things is almost no one.
What is a mud?
Basically a text game. Check out aardwolf.
A MUD is a Multi User Dungeon - imagine a fully text-based MMO. They’ve been around since the late 70s.
200 is a lot of people for a mud. The only one I know of that’s that big is aardwolf. Which do you play?
I play aardwolf. :)
Nice! I got about two remorts in, but haven’t played in a while. It’s a pretty solid mud.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Project Bob, which I think shut down. Diablo-style items and a very fast paced combat system. Alas. Time marches on.
Yeah no kidding. I played one called exile. I think it’s still there, but it’s only afkers and basically not much to do. At least aard has some social aspect.
