Hello from Blackout!
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. It is early. Things will break.
Have fun!
