noms Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I can't remember who told me to put up a thread about Centration, but one of you crazy people did, so I figured I'll put one up and see what you guys think. For the past year and a half, I've been working with a full team to create a game called Centration. It's a survival-horror-sandbox game played online in rounds that could last from 5 minutes to 5 hours. The overall purpose of the game is to survive and work together as a team. The two are related - You often cannot survive without working in a team, but working in a team does not necessarily mean you'll survive. You work together, you keep the space station operational, you role-play and you have fun. The current feature-set we plan on having for release: Fully Dynamic Airflow (I've already demonstrated this to some of you lovely people) Realistic Physics and Interactions Fully Interactive Environments Realistic Heath - Bandages, Surgery, etc. Realistic, brutal, visceral combat - Everything is a weapon! Sandbox Gameplay - The gameplay flows from you, your actions dictate the direction of the game Electronics - Everything needs to be powered, and amusingly, you can mess with the power too. SCIENCE!! No, seriously. Chemistry, Biomedical Research, and poking animals with a stick to mention a few fun things Script-driven machinery/electronics - Everything needs instructions to work in real life? Why should Centration be any different. Mess with the airlocks, close in front of people, make lights flash, display naughty pictures on your workmates computer. The possibilities are endless. Up until this summer we've been mainly focused on getting our core mechanics and framework set up, and now we can finally say we've made some great progress into that; but unfortunately our focus on the code as opposed to art means we don't have much in-game gameplay footage to show off. So instead, take a look at concept art! We'll shortly be launching our kickstarter in July to try and raise £50,000 for our total budget. It's a high goal but we've got the team to pull it off, and the alpha gameplay footage will be ready by then too! So anyway, the main reason I'm posting this here is because I want you lovely folks at AhoyWorld to be among the first to jump in and test our Alpha builds - mostly stress testing and other such things. You guys have been a great community and welcomed me without hesitation from the start; and I love you guys. The first test will actually be getting all of you guys on a server and running around doing things while we record the first gameplay footage videos. We want it to be authentic. ;-) Let me know if you're interested, any questions you have about the game, or anything else, and I'll be updating closer to July when we'll be after people to help us out. Oh, and if you want to find out anything else about the game but don't want to ask me here or on Teamspeak for whatever reason, feel free to visit our website and forums at : http://www.centration.co/ http://www.centration.co/forum Thanks for reading guys <3 - noms Josh, fergie, iLLGT3 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cain Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Space Station 13 No way, I freaking love that. I was wondering why this game seemed familiar, it's sort of like SS13 except it's not 2d pixels xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're making a 2D remake of it separately, which looks fairly crap. I broke off to bigger and better things. ;-) Cain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noms Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Another shameless update!

(The self-publishing part of their intro was very interesting ;p) If you'd like to come watch, we invite you to http://www.twitch.tv/centration this Saturday at 20:00 UTC (That's 21:00 BST).

Shepard Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 This game looks really promising, and I would be glad to help test it when you need testers. I do have a question though. As it is Survival Horror, is there going to be some type of evil entity that is going against the players? Like some type of extraterrestrial or something of the sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danne Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The evil entity is the space station itself as far as I know. Failing systems and lack of vital resources like food, water, air and power (light/temperature/etc) are the the things you'll need to fight for to survive. Noms have said no aliens.

Brooksie10 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't think I know of a sandbox game like this.There will be a huge world just outside the windows but it will be unreachable! Most Sandboxes thrive on huge open areas to explore this game however will have you confined into a floating metal box essentially, I am terrified because well if one of your crew mates goes crazy, (maybe one with a Spiked halberd) you only have an finite number of places to hide and literally no where you can run to. If the person managing the computers decides hes had enough with humanity and opens all the air locks... surely doom will follow all on board. Truly we will need a crack team, the A... W team! kamaradski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If this is sort of like SS13, it'll mean there'll be 'traitors', and ALIENS OOOOOOOOO. Though from SS13 experience, it's mostly traitors who end up fucking everything up. And if this is sort of like SS13, I shall enjoy making a super death virus as the virologist. c:< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
