I wrote a #song for Clan Lord yesterday, & today I pulled out all the parts that muddied it up. Now it is much tighter than before. I don’t know if it will earn me a bard’s belt, but I’m pretty happy with it. #music #songwriting #ClanLord

In. #ClanLord, there is a very low population. But that means there’s no griefer since most people have met each other. It is also, any cool people friendly.

In #ClanLord you can play a cat person.

I got some great feedback on the #music I’m writing for #ClanLord. I’m just starting to learn this stuff, so #feedback early on is helpful.

to make an instrument requires rare raw material. I became a #bard questor & never found more than a bone flute (not a fan of the sound). Composition is all in CLTF [ #ClanLord Tune Format ], it is a neat little “language” and does many of the things #music does — it can’t bend notes and minimum note lengths are 1/8. It uses General #MIDI to actually play your #songs. This is the only game I’ve seen that allows player created music.

So, If I haven’t mentioned it. #ClanLord allows players to compose & play their own #music for others — no copyrighted songs may be played or else Delta Tao could get in trouble. I have recently started learning #songwriting in order to entertain myself & others in game. You have to become a bard questor and audition in front of at least 3–4 other bards. I haven’t earned my staff just yet, but it is really fun playing with rhythm and melody. I wish I would have learned music theory decades ago!

Real Friends give you the gift of a shieldstone… #ClanLord

For those not in the know #ClanLord is an persistent online RPG. The player base is very very small, but this means there are no griefers or snerts because to advance past the first few circles you NEED to work w/others. So it is a safe space for women & anyone that doesn’t like harassment. I encourage anyone that loves slow build RPGSs & not as much grinding—hunts R fun. It also has a unique combat mechanic & training that no other RPG can touch: it’s not button mashing, it is mouse movement.

I’m following accounts with similar interests listed in their bios. So fill that shit out! I myself am an avid #ClanLord player. You can compose #music & play it through general #MIDI (#quicktime) for players nearby you. This is the only Online RPG that I know of that can do it. The sad part is the best client for composing music only runs on 32-bit macOS. There’s a java tool, but it is not as full featured.

#ClanLord is a persistent 2D MORPG. I love it cuz of the community—although really small—is very supportive. We have no trolls or griefers because you can’t advance without working with others. Check it out. It is $15 for an account with one character slot. There is no monthly fee because Joe of Delta Tao said, “If you can’t afford $10 a month, then you need it more than we do.” The link to the CL Wiki is in my bio, & there’s betas for Mojave+ +Windows/Java links on the discord server

I hate when my BT mouse disconnects from my laptop. It’s an old MacBook Pro that has the weak bluetooth issue that they all seem to have. It will disconnect while I’m in a hunt in combat! This has killed me a few times since all my macros are bound to FKey and my 7-button MX Master mouse. #ClanLord.

@demofox A lack of original game mechanics. I know, probably more in line with what games and not game dev, but meh—an opinion (even uninformed) can add value. I play a game (#ClanLord) that’s been around forever (seriously 90s MORPG) and has pretty unique game mechanics.
