Released October 24, 2026

• Still the fastest MUD client I’ve tested: Smudgy leads every comparison I’ve run for text throughput and trigger processing.
• Faster maps: Large maps turn on and off up to 13 times faster, auto-mapping is twice as fast, and cloud maps load in the background.
• Clans: Band together with the people you play with to work on maps and packages.
• Map Secrets: Add your own private notes to shared maps, or share parts of a map separately.
• Text effects: Use shaders as text highlights, with 118 ready-made effects such as fire, lightning, and smoke in the official text-effects package, or write your own in WGSL.

import { createTrigger, line } from "smudgy:core";
import Fire from "@text-effects/fire";
 
createTrigger("The dragon breathes fire!", () =>
  line.highlight("fire", text => <Fire>{text}</Fire>)
);

• Better pane management: Panes minimize to the toolbar and come back where they were, at the same size.
• Aliases made easier: Creating and editing aliases in the Automations window is simpler.
