Or....

*Movie trailer narrator voice*

In a world where dwarves have developed intergalactic travel, one space station will go into the deepest

*dun*

darkest

*dun*

corner of the

*DUNDUN*

CIRCUS.

*Cut to dwarves running down a ruined hallway, littered with corpses of their xXfallen comradesXx.*

"Urist, the Spess Carp are in the escape shuttle!"

"Looks like we'll need more magma."

SPESS DWARVES.

Coming to a theater near you.

*Dwarven scientists sit in a room with an important looking dwarf in a tuxedo. All bear grave expressions*
*solemn music plays, but grows in force as the scene progresses*

"This is the only way then?"
"Yes, my lord King-Elect, we must test the adamantium guns, the magma-ray, the laser-room - they could prove the final peices to the puzzle of how we will defeat the Spesh Carps."
"And the testing is not... Strictly legal?"
"Exactly my lord King-Elect. I hope you understand what we will gain."
"I do. Authorise a Spesh Station. Their deaths will save lives."

*Music climaxes*

You can make the people on it aliens who get lost in a black hole. Lost and alone they try and survive but the odds are against them. Same dynamic but different backstory? Basically you can do what you want. It is merely a genre of game. Just like RP or FPS ect...

Personally I think you should kickstart. I bet there will be an INSTANT 150 pledges.

But if its free, what kind of reard will you get?

[alfie275]

Hats?

Or perhaps your name can be in the flavour text or something.

I'm not sure if he can make a kickstarter project. The space station 13 intellectual property isn't his. Its ownership, is at best ambiguous. The project has the capability to become it own intellectual property, but currently its doesnt seem to be distinguish enough from SS13. Heck, even the creator of the projects calls it SS13.

If he as much as changed the name, said it was "inspired by" Space Station 13, and did a bit of work to change it.

He could get away with it somehow.

Yea, totally, this could totally be its own IP. I dont think its there yet. The implied Dev List thing to my understanding is 'the features from SS13'. I think for now, its to beholden to SS13 for now.

Change the setting to the deep-sea.

Wouldn't making it underwater be tougher to make then one that takes place in space?

[monk12]

Actually, an underwater one would be awesome. Now I need to go find my copy of Sphere...

Sphere? My google-fu is failing me.

looking good, I wonder if at some point youll consider a switch to any of the popular 3dengines ?

[monk12]

Yeah, monkey got it- it's a Crichton novel at the bottom of the ocean. It's pretty trippy, and I"m not sure what else I can say without spoiling it other than you should go read it if you enjoy psychological horror stories. And giant squid attacks.

[MrWiggles]

I dont think it'll make it that much harder really. It depends how simulation he does with the water. I dont think this game would require very realistic water.

[monk12]

Ah, but see, when it's a Space Station, a hull breach means the atmosphere is leaking out- once you patch it, you can repressurize. A Sea Station means that an ocean is leaking in, which entails an entirely different set of Bad Things, including but not limited to blunt force trauma from the initial breach, disruption and destruction of equipment in the water, and of course, swarms of angry lobsters.

(Note- almost total lack of SS13 experience)

Yea, but you're exchanging one set of issues for another.

[monk12]

Actually, sorry, I misread your previous post there- didn't realize you were responding to Neonivek. Think I'll stop posting and go to bed now.
