So apparently the thing is back on, dudes

[Leadpoisoning]

As I understood it the project originally titled "Centration" had gone defunct some time ago. Apparently either my information was wrong, or it has since been restarted, because it is now very definitely under way again. Dr. Vagax/Darth Veger, who used to host the old SpacePunch server which I was an admin on, is apparently involved to some extent, and there is some new information available on Facepunch.

At this point it is not at all an SS13 remake. It's fully 3D, and is going to involve a much stronger survival horror element. This image sums it up pretty well:



Here is a link to the thread discussing Centration on Facepunch, and here's one to the Centration official forums and main website. Enjoy.

I heard it was on a while back, it appears to be quite a jumpy project in terms of stability.
Hopefully they manage to complete it as it would be entertaining to play.

I lost interest when I found out it's going to be $15 and $25 on launch, with the $25 one being premium that grants 'Acces to premium-only servers, with premium modes, maps, and some aesthetic content.' among probably other stuff. I'm not a jew but if it's $25 considering other teams were also making their SS13-esque games for no charge this better be a damn good game. Triple-A games cost less than this indie title.

Premium membership looks like it'll just segregate the userbase. What premium user is going to play on a regular server when the premium ones have more content? It's also very akin to day-one DLC bullshit except this is a multiplayer game. Pay extra for access to the full game, woohoo.

This game's off my radar, tell me if it's any good when it gets released.

Yeah I'd have to agree with scorr unless they drop the whole tiered thing or don't stop trying to push freemium mindset then I'm not touching it.

Triple A games are $40-$60, not $25. :\

Only at launch. Besides, there are cheaper/free games with a lot of entertainment value, I got Minecraft for $10 and I have over 2.000 (literally) hours logged onto League of Legends and only spent $10 on it, which wasn't even necessary because it's free.

And like I said I'd have no problem paying $25 for it if it's worth it, but the whole tiered system is something that does bother me.

Sounds like we will get lots of Centration F2P in a nutshell videos now.

I think they may have ditched that "tiered system" idea, because it looks like the actual price of the game is still under discussion. I know you can buy premium membership on the forums to get beta access.

F2P Centration in a nutshell video # 1:

Everyone playing it like it's a normal game of SS13 on extended.

Video of Paid for Players in Centration:

Faggots running around harmbatoning everyone and bitching to 'mins if they get hurt cause they PAID DAT CASHEEEUUFUWGUW

...Naah..

So, Centration enhances the Survival Horror part of SS13?

No thanks, i prefer the clowns and random exploding scientists over some srs-as-fuck sequel

[Leadpoisoning]

I'm kind of worried that they will add voice chat, and it's going to turn into Dark RP, where those 2 or 3 nine year olds with their squeaky voices talk and no one else does.

>almost none of it is coded. but somehow we talk like it's implemented
>here's some renders of empty corridors
>make steam page to get our game on steam
>not even alpha

[nodcommando]

That's the one thing I wish SS13 had. VOIP. "THE CLOWN IS KILL-" "Your pizza rolls are done, honey!" "FUCK OFF MOM IM THE CAPTAIN AND I HAVE TO KILL THIS FUCKING CLOWN"
