I need help making a telnet MUD
Last commit was oct 25th 2020 it looks like. https://github.com/RanvierMUD/ranviermud

Looking for an open-source MUD engine to use in my project
ranvier looks great, though it might be more than I need for this project

Do people still use ranvier MUD
Looking at the commit frequency on their GitHub, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. I'm not sure if anyone's working on it behind the scenes and just hasn't pushed to the main repository, but it's not a good sign that the last public push was 2 years ago.

Newbie seeking wisdom.
Then that depends on the MUD engine you're planning to use. Evennia is in python, which may help since you're familiar with it, although it is a pretty large and complicated beast. Ranvier is a pretty simple and streamlined MUD engine that is written in Javascript and likely a great place to start if you're not an old MUD player who wants to recreate their old SMAUG or Circle favorite mud. It can be installed via node.js even. Both Ranvier and Evennia (I think) allow you to build the rooms interactively within a running mud (not 100% sure on that)

Modern MU* Platforms: Web-integration, mobile/desktop apps, etc.
Indeed! Another one I forgot to mention is Ranvier in javascript and node.js which I think also allows websockets to communicate in ways other than telnet.

[2022 in RoguelikeDev] Reflector: Laser Defense

Reflector: Laser Defense (itch.io|twitter|blog|github) Roguelike base-building in an hour
-
Recommendation for someone who likes CDDA? Something that is focused on base building (building a farm, mining, hoarding resources) but has decent combat.
I recommend my own game Reflector: Laser Defense but with a big caveat: it is much more puzzle-like and less simulationist than CDDA. Everything has a 1hp. The core mechanic is about reflecting and manipulating laser beams.
-
Rot js drawing at arbitrary positions?
Like some others, I use rot.js for some map gen and rng but for rendering I use a different library, pixi, which let's me use particles and animations. It's kinda messy, but you can browse my code here https://github.com/mscottmoore/reflector (src/lib/renderer)
-
Roguelikes where tiles represent bigger regions?
My game, Reflector: Laser Defense, sort of fits the description, but it might be at slightly smaller scale than you're looking for. A single tile in Reflector represents a big enough area for an entire building, or entire farm. You can't zoom in any closer.

Took a break from working on Reflector to participate in the 7DRL jam, this time with a couple collaborators: u/Lemunde doing the sprites and other art, and u/brightbone63 composing music and making sfx. I'll save my main write-up for the dedicated thread, but I'm really happy with how it came together. It was a rush at the end, and I'm not confident in the late-game balance, but it feels like a complete game.
-
Turn-based city builder a good idea?
I'm working on a turn-based base builder, Reflector: Laser Defense. There's an emphasis on tactical combat, the specific mechanics of which really wouldn't work well in real time (with or without pause). There's production and resource management as well, which works mostly how you describe. I think it works out alright, though it's sometimes confusing. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions!

7DRL 2021 Brainstorming
If you want something with a little less magic, pixi.js is a good option. I believe phaser uses it under the hood. I use it to render the map in my game (non-map UI uses React). You can browse my messy Typescript code here. That said, for the 7DRL perhaps the extra magic of phaser will be nice.
What are some alternatives?
evennia - Python MUD/MUX/MUSH/MU* development system
wally-fov - Shadow-casting field-of-view algorithm with support for walls along tile edges
RockMUD - Node Websocket MUD Server. Demo: https://rockmud.herokuapp.com/
Cataclysm - A post-apocalyptic roguelike. New features relative to C:Whales are scheduled for after 0.2.0, the savefile breaking release.
RPG-JS - Framework to create an RPG or MMORPG (with the same code) in the browser with Typescript
innit - A roguelike game where you play a micro organism inside a larger organism!
Flask-roguelike - Learning project to figure out how JS and Python communicate. End result, likely the same engine as usual
wcomf - Here you'll find the newest versions of my game, Weird Caves of Mediocre Fun.
game - ⚔️ An online JavaScript 2D Medieval RPG.
ECS - A templated, single-file header only Entity Component implementation.
dead-souls - dead-souls 3.8.6 with fluffos 2019
kubernetes-reflector - Custom Kubernetes controller that can be used to replicate secrets, configmaps and certificates.
