[TD][B]Centration is at heart a survival horror game set in a sandbox environment.[/B]
Players join dozens of others from all over the world to crew a space station in orbit of a far-flung solar system, on one of the most important missions of all time – to ensure the survival of the human race.

[U][B]Sandbox Gameplay[/B][/U] - The game is yours, gameplay will flow from you and the people you play with. One of the core aims of Centration is to provide a sandbox for you to create the situations and the gameplay for yourself; the opportunity for true role-play, or simple fun!
[U][B]Survive or Die[/B][/U] - Survival is key. It’s one of the most important mechanics with Centration. You’ll be on board a space station, with equipment that could (and will) malfunction, with people that could turn on you any minute, with the harsh cold of space surrounding you, and so many other unknowns that you’ll have to learn for yourself… can you survive Centration?
[U][B]Multiplayer Round-Based[/B][/U] - Centration is predominately multiplayer, played in rounds that could last from 5 minutes to 5 hours. You’ll be playing with dozens of other players from all over the world, and their motives may be slightly different from your own… Maybe they’re assigned to kill you? Maybe they’ll do it anyway. You never know… but one thing is for certain; you will need to watch your back.
[U][B]Diverse Combat[/B][/U] - Brutal, visceral, and most of all… dangerous. Centration isn’t about fast-paced in-your-face combat, running and gunning. It’s not an FPS. It’s a battle for survival. Your weapon? Whatever you can reach before you come to an untimely end. What will you get? Are you lucky enough to be armed with a gun? Maybe a scalpel smuggled out of the med-lab? Or are you unlucky enough to have been rudely interrupted on the loo, forced to use your own shoe in defence of your life…
[U][B]Feature-packed Medical Systems[/B][/U] - But of course, when everything goes pear-shaped during combat, there’s the diverse medical system , which can save (or curse…) you. You can be bruised, factured, broken, cut, strangled and poisoned. Internal bleeding, ruptured organs? Brain damage? The doctor will be your best friend… or worst enemy.
[U][B]Airflow [/B][/U]– Centration includes a dynamic airflow simulation. The station has a limited supply of air, and the tools to recycle and process the Co2 back into O2. A single hull breach is all that stands between you and the vacuum of space. In the event of explosive decompression, you will find yourself (and everything that isn’t bolted down nearby) being sucked through the breach into the cold dark of space.
[U][B]Electricity [/B][/U]– The space station uses generators to produce electricity and wires to transport it. Every bundle of wire leads to a necessary device, and every device consumes energy from the power grid. If something should go wrong, you will quickly find yourself in the dark with no life support. The power grid is dynamic, and thus, will require work and rerouting every time a section of the ship is cut off.
[U][B]SCIENCE![/B][/U] - Why are we even here? What are we doing? Why is everyone dying? Who cares!! You can do SCIENCE! Lock yourself away in a science lab while the station rips themselves apart, and discover all the secrets that await you, or team up with the crew to uncover new and cruel ways of inflicting pain and death.
[U][B]Fully interactive Environment[/B][/U] - Where’s the fun if you can’t blow shit up? The entire station is interactive and destructible. You never wanted that corridor anyway. Might as well, you know, blow it up?[/TD]

I really hope the medical side of the game will be as complex as you promise but otherwise the game looks and sounds great!
Oooh! New stuff! I ALWAYS like new interesting things, whatever that may be. Especially if it's sci-fi related!

The beta and initial release will have a fairly simplified version of what we're after, and the more science-ish stuff will be released with our first (free) DLC pack called "More Science". It's early to be thinking about that too much though, we might manage to fit it all in for release or we might now, point is it'll be there eventually! :)
Oh jesus. I [I]need[/I] this.
Dammit, I can't get my email to confirm. Looks like I won't get that free premium on the forums.
[editline]19th August 2012[/editline]
Nevermind, I got in at #40, but I don't think I got premium yet.
The theme reminds me of Deus Ex. Very cool.
Yay, got my premium!
To be all that honest, I was hoping for a 2D kind of game. I wonder if it's more or less difficult to destruct/interact with enviorments because of the 3D model.
What does it even do? How much would it cost normally?

You gain beta-access basically.
Signed up, #45. I like the thread music :v:
3D and first person has so much potential for this type of game.

Sounds good, signed up to the forum and got premium! Thanks.

Then play Space station 13?
[QUOTE=icemaz;37313475]Signed up, #45. I like the thread music :v:[/QUOTE]
How do I check what number I am?
DLC? Update the game instead!
I got #49, I hope this turns out well
Shows over folks, it's way over 50 now.
[QUOTE=joost1120;37313499]Then play Space station 13?[/QUOTE] -+ ^->
(Broken arrow key)
I got #52 I think. May have been less, but i think I don't get guaranteed beta access :(. Welp
Aww man, missed premium by 4 members because my browser refused to work.
Oh well, still excited for this game, hopefully it'll be just as crazy as SS13.
Edit: Nevermind, it says I have premium access. Woohoo!
i think i got the 50th registration.
[QUOTE=Tureis;37313444]You gain beta-access basically.[/QUOTE]
Sweet gravy! I think I have an addiction to Betas. I don't care what it is most of the time because it's free, it's new, I'm one of the first to try it out so I MUST BE IN IT!
Apply to ALL OF THE BETAS!
