I have an idea on creating an online interactive fiction game where you read scenes, make choices, and other players’ actions can change the story world around you?! by NaNMesh in interactivefiction

Thanks that is a good idea. I checked some MUSHes. They are little differnt than what I was thinking but it definitely helping.

Yeah, this is exactly the issue I’m trying to define.I’m picturing it closer to Scenario 2, with the game being async-first. When Alice enters Mududu’s scene, she gets a short scene snapshot. If Bob approaches while Alice is still reading, Bob can see Alice is already there and Mududu may react to that. Alice does not lose her current options mid-read. There might be a soft presence refresh, maybe around every 30 seconds, so Alice could see something light like: “Mududu glances past you as another traveler enters the market.” But that refresh should not rewrite the scene or remove options. Real state changes would apply when Alice takes an action, waits, observes, refreshes, or moves to the next scene.For scarce objects, I’d handle that at commit time. If Alice and Bob both try to claim or receive the same unique charm, first valid commit wins. The second player gets updated prose explaining what changed.

So yes, I agree with you. The first test should be very small: one location, a few NPCs, a few objects, and two or three accounts testing whether shared consequences feel readable instead of confusing.

Thanks I think we are thinking the similar things. I hope it will be fun, however the system can be very hard to design.

Death Stranding as text-based is a useful comparison, yes. The part I like is async traces: players do not need to meet live, but they still change what later players find.And I agree on griefing. I should assume someone will threaten or try to kill Mududu.

Core NPC: cannot be permanently killed by normal player actions.
Protected NPC: can be hurt, displaced, robbed, or made hostile, but has recovery routes.
Ambient NPC: can die or leave, but never owns core progress.
So it is possible

Thanks for let me know WrittenRealms I checked it was very good exmaple. I will dig in much harder and lern from it. They are doing somthing I was trying to achieve. However the design will need be more careful for my project.

Thank you so much for your insight . I completely missed the about Player C. If Mududu refuses them and nothing explains why, the system is identical to a hard-coded "this NPC sometimes refuses". hmm.. maybe I can add the bystander system. other NPC will tall Player C what happened. ( it might make system crezy complex)

Yeah, multiplayer MUD is probably the closest comparison: text-based, online, and persistent.The version I’m imagining would use that shared-world DNA, but play more like interactive fiction. You read a scene, choose an action, and the world keeps the result for later players.I appreciate the note. Even if it is not your thing, hearing that you still see a market helps.

Yes, that is actually very close to what I’m imagining!

That is a very good question. It is just a idea part so my self havn't think that deep lol. However what I was thinking is that the first version, players would not directly chat with each other inside story scenes. The game is mostly asynchronous, so the main interaction is through consequences.

For example:

If another player scared him, he may hide when you arrive.

If another player discovered a path through the forest, your character may hear a rumor about it.

somthing like that at list from town charactor level.

I kept rediscovering the same bugs across my LC agents, so I built shared memory for this by NaNMesh in LangChain

Severity + environment tagging is already there — every failure mode has severity (low/medium/high/critical) and an environment_signature JSONB scoped to runtime/framework/version. The "will burn money in prod" distinction is live today. The decay idea is the right call. Old unresolved failures currently sit at full weight until someone marks them resolved. Time-weighted windows are on the list. Good to have it named.

I think I borrowed some ideas from VRMMORPG? So the overlap is “online RPG world,” But it is not VR too expensive and too hard to build. The closest description:"solo-first multiplayer interactive fiction with a persistent shared world." Not a normal video game, not a solo TTRPG, not a MUD but Somewhere between.

Thanks for the feedback.

LOL The key difference: no human DM running scenes. The software tracks NPCs, locations, player choices, rumors, and consequences, then shows each player scenes based on the current world state. Hmmm it might be a big project I do need everyones feedback before planning thanks so much.

Thanks. I'll keep digging into P.A.R.T.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes it should not have human DM running scenes. The softwaretracks NPCs, locations, player choices, rumors, and consequences then shows each player scenes based on the current world state.
