Greetings.
As the subject line says, I am Sryth. My current project is building a completely custom codebase in python. I currently have it at the point of having hot command table reloading, nice menu-based OLC, and of course, no crashing. My future plans are getting a web-based admin interface/building suite going, and a fully menu-based dynamic logic system for rooms/mobiles/items. (Scripting without requiring builders to learn a scripting language). I plan to always support normal mud clients but at some point in the future there will also be a custom client which will add on to the feature set and functionality available.
Of course, my mud is not yet ready for play-testing yet, and probably won't be for a year or so. But I thought I'd say hello.
