We are testing the waters to see if the general computer public might be interested in a "shrink wrapped" mud development kit. It would come with: the engine running under Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and Linux, a set of visual development tools allowing you to easily create areas, a set of beginning areas to learn from or reuse, a complete manual outlining how to create areas and run the mud itself, a license allowing you to run the mud without restrictions (you can charge for it, we don't care). We would create an online community where people could share development tips and files etc. and develop updates to the engine and the development tools themselves. We'd put it all together in a box and sell it for the price of a normal PC game (40-50 dollars). Ideas? thoughts? Feedback? Do you think this would draw more people into the hobby? Allow people not as technical to develop and run their own mud?
