Space Station 13 Remake: Oct 31st Video Update
« on: October 31, 2011, 08:54:42 pm »
We really don't have a thread about the remake project...? Hokay then. Well I think it deserves one, especially after the latest update they just posted in their forums (they don't update the News page anymore).

http://www.spacestation13.com

It's a promising-looking remake headed by a couple of determined programmers and a spriter from the original BYOND game. I heard mention that they also have the blessings of SS13's creator, so there's no copyright/legal issues getting in their way. In other words, it's by far the most promising remake project out there right now. The fact that it has reached a playable state at all is better than most other people have achieved.

Their latest update came with a video showing the latest code and some artwork.

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

Looking good. I still need to make a worthwhile suggestion as my last one, predictably, was shot down hillariously fast.

It's looking good. The only thing is, and I'm sure it's been said before, is that the main problem with the original is the god awful lag. If they code it right, it should be nice and smooth, right? Here's hoping, anyway.

It seems very dwarven to use the hell itself as a garbage disposal. I can just see this isolated pile of goblin clothing, rotten food, and chunks of animals sitting there in a featureless plain, slowly cooking in the heat as demons pick at it.

I'm given to understand that much of the old SS13 codebase's problems derived from BYOND crappyness and deeply ingrained single-threadedness. Both of those should be solved handily by the new base implementation.

This looks like a significantly more high-res textured Graal. I'm liking the looks so far; could get me into SS13

Out of all the SS13 reboots I've seen thus far this one seems to have the most progress and potential.

The spriters are actually Supernorn and SynthOrange. Synth is new, but he's doing great work for us so far.

Now that I have the ability to free up some time, I gotta get in on a Bay-12 server sometime.

Also just read through the Tropes article on this game. My goodness, how did I miss out on this?
