Hello world!
Blackout now has a front door. Here's what's running behind it, and what's coming next.
Blackout has been a private project for a while. Today felt like a good time to make it playable online. At this point in time, it can be described as a prototype. There is a lot more game to go. Come join us for the ride!
What’s live
The site you’re reading is a static build deployed to Cloudflare’s edge (still figuring this part out). The game itself runs on my local machine right now, reached through an outbound tunnel.
What Blackout is
A spiritual successor the classic Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs) and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). Blackout offers two ways to experience it: classic MUD text or an experimental 3D webclient. It’s a cyberpunk adventure taking place after a cataclysmic series of events known as the Blackout. Your journey begins many years after the incident that plunged the world into a new dark age. From the rubble, a conglomerate of corporations known as the Hegemony have rebuilt the new world order, only in their image. Built on the Evennia engine. The world of Blackout is a sandbox. Be who you want to be and experience it the way YOU want to.
What’s next
- More of everything
- Whatever the first handful of players complain about loudest
If you want to poke at it, the client is right here. Expect frequent server resets (that means character wipes, etc.). It is early. Things will break.
Who will you be in Neo Cairo?
Have fun!
