Another quick update to let everyone know where we are at with this alpha release. We put a call out for closed alpha testers two weeks ago and they have done a great job at breaking things and reporting their findings to the dev team. As you can see from the video above they are having a lot of fun while providing us with valuable data.&n...
2020-01-28 23:36:34 +0000 UTC View PostThis is just a quick update to let everyone know we are still hard at work getting through all of the bugs and admin features to ensure a solid alpha release. There are not many new features to show so I will keep this quick with a basic faq about release.
What is the current status?
You can keep an eye on our progre...

Here is a breakdown of what was completed in the month of November:
Matrix vs Matrix collisions:
As you can see from the gif above we now have matrix to matrix collisions which make it possible for shuttles to crash into the station. Thanks to foma for putting in a lot of work to get this done before alpha release. 2019-12-04 05:29:51 +0000 UTC View Post
A lot has happened in the past month as you can see from the video above we now have working AI NPC's! Here is what was accomplished in October:
NPCS:
A quick update for the month of September:
Networking:
The first week was spent replacing the networking layer in unity from UNET (Unity's depreciated networking layer) with Mirror (an open source community maintained net library). This allows us to upgrade the game engine itself to newer versions and should make sho...

Hello esteemed patrons! Another month of glorious progress has been bestowed upon us so lets get stuck into this months bounty report:
As you can see in the video above we have now completed the basics of the Command Console so heads can now call the shuttle or perform station wide announcements. Thanks to foma for completing it.

The very first cargo ordering system and cargo shuttle control has been implemented. Thanks to Vlandemart and Stritirok for putting in a mammoth effort getting it done. Watch the video above to see it in action.
What is funny about this first iteration is that you can actually sell humans. We are tossing up whether we al...

As you can see wiring art is now possible thanks to Bod. A whole bunch of optimization has also been carried out on the powernet system in an effort to reduce garbage from the electricity updates.
This month also starts the focus on Cargo and Medbay features. Mostly on the underlining systems we need first to be able to introduce int...

As you can see in the GIF above work has started on creating grenades / bombs, thanks to FishFish. Pulsey is now working on an elegant way to handle the tile damage and changes in tile sprites (like damaged tiles, blood, footprints) and creating an easy to use API for the system to make it easy for the developers to use.
Also this week has...

The picture above was snapped from one of our heads over the weekend. It shows unitystation running comfortably on an 11" iPad Pro. This is not something we are pushing for at the moment but was just a fun experiment to see what we can do with SS13 on the Unity engine. In the future we are thinking about allowing mobile apps to control lesser fo...

A lot has happened over the Christmas break as you can see in the GIF above we now have a working Atmos Simulation merged into the Develop branch.
Thanks to Pulsey who has been working on it since June the system is a server side calculation of Oxygen, CO2, Plasma, Atmospheric Pressure and Temperature. The graphical side of things is still...

Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout 2018. We were also very lucky to have had a donation of $1000 given to us for the month of December from a very generous donator.

It's been a long time since reports but fear not! progress on unitystation has grown exponentially over the past few months with the list of contributors expanding every week. We have also decided to delay the beta release and focus on introducing the RP game loops that make SS13 what it is. Make yourself familiar with the 0.4.0 scope to see where ...

Some really big updates are almost complete. In the next few weeks we will see a new client that can Auto Update itself along with a complete Matrix overhaul which will allow us to easily scale the project up with all the content that is needed for a traditional RP based spessman adventure.
The new matrix will also allow us to have separate grid ...
