Space Station 13 is a round-based roleplaying game, developed using the BYOND engine around February, 2003.Players are given a list of ~40 different jobs aboard a space station, each with their own access and responsibilities. For example, Engineers maintain the power grid and power while Scientists create (peaceful) bombs, research technology, construct mechs and cultivate alien life. Each round has a particular gamemode, the most frequent being Traitor, where one or more crew members are assigned with illegal objectives they must complete for the Syndicate against the station.Space Station 14 is the open source successor to ss13 with enough content to be playable, but still little compared to the decade(s) of ss13 development. ss14 offers a variety of improvements, including smoothness of gameplay, an engine made in this century, lighting improvements, pixel movement(?), and more.ITT: talk about ss13 and ss14.>>>GETTING STARTED>Download link for BYOND, game platform of SS13 (most servers use version 515)https://www.byond.com/download/build/515/>Download link for ss14 launcherhttps://spacestation14.com/about/download/>I want a video about ss13 to see what it's about!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0Recent news/thread topics:>TG implodes, MSO has a mental breakdown>/vg/ announces ss14 port effort, tile movement in ss14?>Wizard's Den infighting continues; development further plagued by gender dysphoria
the amount of work we'd have to do to ss14 to make it non-dogshit is insanewhy are we even considering the switch? to get more players?
>>1590173One day byond is gonna take a fat shit and Lummox is going to sell it to romanians who pick apart the servers for copper. Even if it ends up busting I think it's good to get started on the eventuality.But yes I think the main motivation was vg losing players.
who won?
>>1590176only positive about ss14 i see is not relying on IE which means linux supportas for the byond servers, what do they even do? client auth? don't we need to make our own chud-auth for ss14?
>>1590182ss14 has had so much infighting already that there already are alt-auths available. Byond I dunno honestly, I think once lummox goes byond goes since its closed source
sorry chuds i don't want to go back to tile movement

>>1590176When Lummox sells the game to Romanians you can accept the game is finished and move on and do something else rather than flooding over to PJB's tranny cabal grooming game.
