Look, I love you guys, but this ain't it.

Go ahead and do it, but pretending like you can just leave coalition games at your size is absurd. And pretending that a mutual defense pact is anything other than a coalition is kind of ridiculous. What are you going to do if a big coalition comes to shit on you guys and Init, you going to commit to the big war then? You think it'll look any more enticing that time around? I doubt it.

So, when that time comes, and it will come, I don't think you're going to want to do this a second time, and I doubt your hemorrhaging membership will either (the second one will hurt more than the first). I know these big wars are hard, they never look possible from

So this server's come up a handful of times on here already but we weren't really ready to start promoting it so we held off until now.

Noctra is an 18+ downstream variant of the Vanderlin codebase specifically for people who want to play in a higher-confidence age-verified environment than the current community standard. It's run largely by staff or prior staff of Vanderlin and shares many of the same coders and rules.

This server is for those who are uncomfortable with the "don't ask don't tell" or optional age-verification systems of current 18+ servers, using a third-party company (Idenfy) to verify people are not minors while ensuring that all personally identifiable information is de

Hey, I'm the Community Manager for Monkestation. Yes, from SS13. No, this isn't a post about SS13.

We've been preparing for some time to start a Space Station 14 server and we just had our first playtest today. With that done, we're ready to put out a public call for staff.

Our first playtest was as a Funkystation downstream and our next test will probably be Goob, at which point we'll have to make a decision about which we preferred more.

We're looking for the full works: coders/spriters/admins. We've got a barebones team at the moment but we're looking to round it out before we go into the regular playtesting phase (and eventually, hopefully, 24/7).

If you're interested, DM me on here

The first part of our three-part expansion to the codebase just went live last night! In it are 30-40 new spells, dozens of new magic-related crafting recipes, just as many new ingredients, a structure-crafting system, leylines, summoning, and more!

Additionally, we added Kobolds. They are a playable race. You can pick them up and fit them in your bag.

COMING IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS: An entire new map with a more steampunk setting, steamcrafting and steam power, as well as steam armor.

Fun little secret: the Steam stuff is largely in the game right now for bugfixing/reporting but can be assembled right now if you can figure it out!

Hello, friends. There's going to be another tech test of Vanderlin tomorrow at 10:00AM PST. We're especially looking for feedback on the new map and new butchering/sewing/crafting systems.

Come on by tomorrow and help us break shit so we have more to fix, and to tell us that tree lets you jump over the wall and land on the king's throne or whatever wackass bugs come up.

Server address will be pinged tomorrow at https://discord.com/invite/Monkestation

We're getting kinda close to full launch and all your interest has been super appreciated, we've been getting a ton of necessary feedback out of the tech tests and are hoping to get more.

This time we're testing our new map (minus a few last-minute omissions) and gathering feedback on it; the debloating is largely complete (for now) so we've been able to build a fairly large environment, but we need players to bash their heads against stuff to see if it breaks.

We're live NOW!

Server: byond://198.37.111.92:1550

Tech test will probably be up until late tonight, so don't miss out.

Hi, I’m DurrHurrDurr, the Community Engagement Manager for Monkestation and I’m here to proudly present to you Vanderlin, a project we’ve been working on for a little while and are happy to finally show to all of you!

Based on Stonekeep code, we’ve done what nobody else has done yet and gone through the codebase, removing more than 400,000 lines of bloated and unused code, significantly improving performance and stability. This includes dozens of other fixes and features such as:

New lighting system Reworked antags Reworked armour system Framework for new NPC behaviour (some enemies WILL straight-up gamer you into the dirt) Pollution system Dozens of stability and performance improvements

Mans got cooked, you hate to see it folks.
