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 w...

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 bef...

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...

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.

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.

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 ...

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...
