Me and @WithoutFurtherRelay@hexbear.net have been talking about running a Hexbear SS13 server for a bit and we just now got it in a working state for testing.
Around 4 PM US EST / 7 PM UTC I'll edit this post with the IP address so anyone who wants to play can join. It's okay if you haven't played before.
All you need to play is the BYOND client from here:
Come join us in running/blowing up our space station!
There may be a few technical problems we haven't foreseen yet but we'll deal with them if it happens.
Here is our Discord discussion group if you're interested:
We are gonna replace it with something more secure and private sometime. Didn't we have a Matrix server once?
this is the ultimate origin game of
and barotrauma isn't it? like how dwarf fortress was the origin of minecraft?Yeah, Amogus is essentially an ultra-simplified version of Space Station 13, and Barotrauma could be argued to be the same. Tasks in Among Us are really simple, but jobs in Space Station 13 tend to be complex, open-ended, roleplay heavy, or all of the above. You can spend hundreds of hours in SS13 mastering a single job, and that mechanical depth combined with the sheer chaos that can break out at any moment is why people play SS13
Man I have not played SS13 in years. Brings back fond memories haha. I don't think I'll be able to attend the test but I'll join the discord

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
is ss13 free? i might join y'all
Yes, just make a byond account. We need to restart the round and we need people who knows how to work as an engineer
Update: Ok, I restarted the round. It should be all good now.
it might be a very barebones crew, how would we be keeping the power and O2 on? i'm happy to play, just wondering
Supermatter engine and atmos are relatively self-sustaining once someone gets them going.
I finally got the chance to check it out and now nobody's on. :(
It only runs on Windows, just a heads up
Yeahh, true. BYOND/SS13 wasn't very portable to begin with but the /tg/station code has been been making it worse. Their UI framework for SS13, TGUI, has been getting more and more complicated and is basically a dynamic webpage rendered with whatever ancient win32 API thing BYOND uses to render webpages. The only reason it works on Windows is cuz Microsoft has gone to the trouble of adapting Edge/latest IE to work as the rendering engine for that. Wine has the Gecko rendering engine for that but it just seems like it can't cope with whatever heavy JS stuff is going on. I'll have to test again sometime and see if there's a way I can get it working. It's been like 1.5 years since I've tried but I think it's only getting worse.
If this project goes anywhere I will definitely be trying to make SS13 more portable again so the non-windows users can join.
In the meantime though if any non-windows users want to play: this game has very simple graphics so it would probably run very well in a VM!

The rounds we played were really awesome. We can organize this better to play with more people, at least 10 people should be enough for a good round.
Yesss, it was so fun playing with all of you.
Maybe we can schedule another round to get everyone together for a big one with some antags.
So uh, is the default character set like this as a joke or is the random generator trying to get me banned on sight?
Lance Christman is an incredibly funny name though. Like actually unbelievably incredibly funny. Like Hideo Kojima wrote the bible but actually real.
Is this every week?
Almost, but no other players lately :(
How did I miss this, I literally was checking to see if anything happened with it.
not goonstation
i love overly complex games so much. the chaos part is scary tho maybe i'll have to check it out
