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.
Is rivierastation actually any fun to play on or is it just populated by edgy retards rather than tranny retards
>>1590297Its fun BUT>Only active during specific saturday burger hours>Fairly lowpop (generally won't be higher than 20, more like 15ish)If that's fine with you then go ahead, just remember to use a alt c-key because they're faggot wannabe puritans who will doxx you if you get caught having a different opinion to their e-daddy boy lover.
are there any wod13 servers besides monke? i'm interested in giving it a proper shothell, i'll clone monke's wod13 codebase and host it for the thread if i have to
>>1590315There's technically two WOD servers, one russian the other ran by a zoomer apparently. I haven't seen anything that suggests its connected to monke?
>>1590318fully russian or just hosted by a russian?also maybe i was misreading one of the posts from last thread; i thought vanderlin was a wod13 server but it seems more in-line with blackstone and other medieval type servers
>>1590324Yeah Vanderlin is a blackstone/roguetown fork, ruined by hecking chungus monke redditors who don't understand life-web or its ripoffs. in regards to WoD it says [RU] on the hub so I'm assuming fully russian
I miss the fallout servers.
>>1590349>Becomes the next big thing>Gets dozens of FURRY ERP copypastes>By the end the ERPers fuck off to the next thing or blubber>New popular thing appears>Cycle repeatsI still don't understand, but man modern ss13 sucks. Same thing will happen to the WOD server, give it a month or two.
>>1590350Unfortunately that's just an inevitability of a RP game. Half the players are furries (minimum)
>>1590326damni would attempt to play on there but i don't have much faith in the little russian i do know
>>1590167play SS14
>>1590350I mean I'm planning to get my own WOD server up and running once they finish and merge kuei-jin up and running. I'm going to end up leaning more into white wolf lore than paradox's sanitization of the content provided. In my mind I wanna focus on the big three primarily with adding gypsies along with maybe mages later.

>>1590390Mage content would seem hard to design or create since its so freeform/incompatible with typical ss13 wizards. Maybe you could add the technocracy in a vein functionally similar to tg abductors that memoryhole human players who witness masquerade breaches. If the Cammies/Anarchs let the masquerade to be broken too many times you could implement technocracy death squads as a response that will massacre the local supernatural population
>>1590315>>1590318The WOD13 that isn't RU isn't controlled or in any form associated with monke and his goon squad. The russian one is the original vodka monkey coder who slapped the codebase together
>>1590401Funnily enough, the russian coder who made the original iteration has a blueprint in mind on how to go about it, here's how he wrote it.>Natural magic: it works as emag, but on most objects you can see in game. More interactions with each spheres - better. For example emagging fuse box with power sphere breaks it and makes it sparkle with thunders all around. Coincidence on a person holding a gun makes the gun drop the magazine, etc.>Vulgar magic: this is where stuff gets interesting. I planned an alchemy game scheme, so you combine spheres or their combinations with each other to gain new combinations. Each combination receipt will give a unique spell, but increase the paradox significantly.>Paradox: a lot same to the Masquerade, and the effects depend on which spheres you used and how much. Same as tabletop, from sneezing to dropping all of your organs on a turf nearby.>Different paradigms will have different abilities. For example steampunk dudes will be able to store spells in devices and let them be used by others. But each use checks paradox for the owner and breaks from it. Tribal sorcerers will be able to draw runes for vulgar magic, and etc.>Technocracy will get circuit printer, but all integrated stuff will be reworked and given new cool abilities.
>>1590383the sad thing is that i HAVE to because i cant get BYOND running in leenuts
The recent implosion of tgstation has proven to me concerntrolls are the bane of ss13.tgstation, troll's remorse the server. The hyper-sensitive server to the point you'll get into trouble for saying ligger. Implodes to possibly the most poetic reason I could think of.>Some dude didn't want to be forced to play a woman.
>>1590428Its funny you say that since the new civ server just imploded over the host not being a turbo janny about nigger usage.
