small MUD ideas

Failing Pet Shop Simulator

Players are assigned positinos in a small owner-operated pet shop. Business is bad, and as the game progresses it gets worse. Players do their jobs, opening up, feeding animals, cleaning cages, helping the rare customer, tending the register, and locking up at the end of the day.

As the money runs out, the managment has to start firing employees (which kicks them out of the game).

Eventually the store defaults on its mortgage and the last employee locks up and wanders off into the sunset, ending the game.

Dinosaur Outback Adventure

A parody of Jurassic Park, with gameplay of Space Station 13.

Players are assigned characters, roles, jobs, and secret objectives, then inserted into a tropical island dinosaur preserve.

Things go wrong, dinosaurs get loose, hilarity ensues.

The park should have security systems, power plant and lines, security teams, etc. As players mess up their jobs(or sabotage things), the park becomes a dangerous place.

Random disasters can occur to make things even more chaotic. Special scenarios can also be randomized. Perhaps there is a benefit concert in the dinosaur park? Argentenian militia just made a beach head? Documentary crew took a wrong turn at the guard station?

You win by escaping the island, completing your objectives, or surviving longer than others.

Game length should be 1-5 hours.
