Space themed, top-down 2D multiplayer RPG, developed on BYOND. The game features a staggering amount of depth and complexity beneath crude cartoon graphics. It is a melting pot of ideas and genres, has infinite replayability, and generates fantastic and often hilarious stories.
The game functions in rounds. At round start, every player picks a job as a crew member on the station. These range from high up positions like the captain and heads of staff, to engineers, scientists, medical doctors, security officers, all the way down to the lower responsibility roles such as the janitor and assistant.
The primary goal is to perform your role and help keep the station running in a tidy and orderly fashion, (although this is actually next to impossible). If that wasn’t hard enough, one or more players will be given an antagonistic role at random, and a secret mission that’s very likely to cause disruption.
The game engine fully simulates power, biology, atmosphere, chemistry, and other complex object and environmental interactions beyond the vast majority of video games.
While different servers may have their unique station constructs, generally there are eight departments aboard the station.
- Command (taking leadership roles aboard the station).
- Security (enforcing the law, keeping peace and responding to emergencies aboard the station).
- Engineering (generating power and keeping utilities maintained aboard the station).
- Science (researching technologies and developing ‘Silicons’ aboard the station).
- Medical (keeping the crew healthy, performing surgeries, researching diseases and creating clones aboard the station).
- Supply (mining for minerals and taking charge of the cargo aboard the station).
- Service (keeping the station clean and providing food and drinks for the crew).
- Silicons (consisting of the station’s A.I and cyborgs, who are often bound by the Three Laws of Robotics).
Optimally everybody will spawn into the station at the beginning of each round and perform their jobs. However, randomly selected players are chosen to spawn as an’antagonist’ aboard the station. Antagonists can range from a character with secret objectives, genocidal A.Is, and a wide assortment of monsters such as changelings and aliens. It can be difficult for normal crew members to identify antagonists, and even harder to determine their ulterior motives.
