Dragons' Star is a Diku-style MUD with an original space theme. Our code base may be CircleMUD, but anyone logging on can tell that we've more than heavily modified and have gone far beyond basic CircleMUD. What that means is that we can't use areas written for Circle or using any of the myriad of Circle area-writing tools, such as Oasis. That being said, familiarity with building CircleMUD type areas will make the learning curve much easier. Our world database is unique to us and allows a lot of flexibility for a builder to be as creative as they want to be.
While we do have OnLine Creation (OLC), it is primarily for getting the basic area elements in place. To take advantage of all the flexibility and options available, there is no avoiding text-editing. OLC is available for all approved projects on a special Builder port. Information on the Builder Port will be provided when the project is approved.
At this time we are only accepting areas with a high-tech, futuristic theme. While we do have some low-tech cities in the game, we are not interested in expanding them any further. We will not accept anything based off of existing copyrighted work (ie Star Trek, Star Wars) without a written approval from the copyright holder and even then, only with very careful consideration. Need some ideas? Here's a small list of suggestions for original areas:
Still interested? We first recommend that you take a look at the available Documentation. When you feel you are ready to embark on your building adventure, go to the Proposal form and submit your idea. You will be contacted and the building process will go from there. Please keep in mind that building an area for Dragons' Star is a serious commitment. We understand that real life comes first, but if you start a project, we expect you to make every effort to complete it.
