$75,000 to clone a freeware game?  When that game is getting remade anyway?  I'll pass.

First off, I'd like to thank each and every one of you who have either backed or helped share our project. Your support and input has been invaluable to the team, and it has been so amazing to see how dedicated our fans are. We've been reading all of the feedback that you have submitted and found that we were not ready to push our project to Kickstarter. As of now, we will be canceling this Kickstarter. We would like to invite everyone who still wishes to support our project to pre-purchase the game at http://www.centration.co/store. As a reminder, with the Kickstarter canceled, none of you will be charged for the pledges you submitted.
     That said, we will certainly still be working and churning out progress for Centration. Development will be slowed at first due to funding, but we can work around most of the roadblocks with support from you guys if you pre-purchase. We are offering the same reward tiers on the Centration store as we are here on the Kickstarter. If we are still unable to raise the necessary funds for development, we will contemplate our options, potentially creating another, more refined Kickstarter.
     Thanks again for all of your support! We at Angry Engineers Entertainment are very thankful for all of your feedback, and would like to apologize for being unprepared and needing to cancel the Kickstarter.

Stream of centration right after it's released.
AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE:
10 minutes for pre-startup installs and such.
Launcher won't let you login. (The login button does not work)
Trying to start the launcher again results in the screen rapidly flashing

10/10 goty.

E: One of the inis contains a variable named banana.
Also, a variable called ReleaseVersion set to False. Herp derp.

E2: The login button did work, there was just an immensely tiny input field.

E3: No servers to connect to.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

10/10 goty all year erry year

E: So yeah, it's released and shit.

It's NOT released, miauw. It's a stress test. It's to see if the game as it is can handle actual players actually playing(-ish) the game.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I'm reading about Centration right now and noticed "or simply display naughty pictures on your crew-mates' screen for the fun of it." Well this seems like it's going to be fun.
I would try to make a code that goes to each computer and acts like a cashware (I think that's what it's called) virus just showing porn/erotic stories.

Actually that sounds like a pretty good idea. It might be difficult to implement depending on how networked the computers are, but if they're connected over some overarching network then stuff like that would probably happen way too frequently.
