Me and @[email protected] 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?
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
We probably won't get up to anything too scary during our test round!
Chaos scares me too lol. I wanna try to steer our server away from becoming another "low-roleplay" chaos server filled with powergaming murderclowns toward something more roleplay focused...
