Centration - The paranoid, toolbox smashing and monkey throwing space station simulator - Games

Well that just means more of you should head over and get posting! Duh!

[QUOTE=noms;37426459]Well that just means more of you should head over and get posting! Duh![/QUOTE] Probably. Noms is giving away premium accounts like candy over there, which makes me wonder how they're ever going to make any money. Not that it's a bad thing for the moment being, but I'm just waiting for the kickstarter.

[QUOTE=noms;37455300]We're not making Centration to make money.[/QUOTE] That's cool I guess.

What're the minimum specs gonna be for the game?

[QUOTE=noms;37455300]We're not making Centration to make money.[/QUOTE] Huh, well that's pretty neat. [QUOTE=GmanIsJoker;37455719]What're the minimum specs gonna be for the game?[/QUOTE] The game is still in Alpha, so we don't really know yet.

[QUOTE=hayoye111;37455890]Huh, well that's pretty neat.[/QUOTE] The only reason we're even considering charging for the game is so we can actually afford to make the game and everything that comes with it, and also be able to provide updates and expansions in the future. Also, beer, hookers and crack.

ff dont lie noms i know you want to make your own personall company of condoms noms unpenetrable condoms

Seems like a cool idea. I'm seeing you need someone to make sounds and stuff. Any special qualifications you're looking for? I work as a sound rigger/recorder for a local studio, so I have the equipment. I've also recorded sounds for a scrapped half-life horror mod.

Mainly we need someone who is able to create consistent sound effects. If you have the equipment, skills and software to accomplish this, then we'd definitely be interested in your help! Head over to the forums and send me a PM or email me at [email]noms@centration.net[/email] <3 [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=werewolf0020;37459418]ff dont lie noms i know you want to make your own personall company of condoms noms unpenetrable condoms[/QUOTE] Stop telling everyone my secret world domination plans.

Ok, mail sent.

Will there be a dialog menu like in tribes? (also add sex)

We're currently looking for someone to do some narration/voice-over bits for a trailer/gameplay teaser we're working on, so if you've got a deep/dramatic voice, or if you're Morgan Freeman, please let us know - [url]http://www.centration.co/forum/showthread.php?tid=60&pid=514#pid514[/url]

Sssoooo. . . It's exactly the same concept as Space Station 13, except a shittier, simplified 3d version? Lul. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] I mean, not to be rude, but the entire "Features" section is a total rip of SS13. Regardless of what you say or how you whine, and if your game turns out to be amazing, you need to acknowledge that you got the main idea from SS13.

Regularly, a person doesn't read through all several hundred/w.e posts. I read the OP and I posted my opinion. Now, to indulge you, I'll go read.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;37460498]If everything went like this i can name a few games that are ripping off Minecraft and are doing well, should i message these owners as well for not crediting Notch?[/QUOTE] Every game ever would be a rip off and should credit each other if some of the people complaining in this thread got their way. Oh noes Call of Duty totes ripped of Medal of Honor!!

[QUOTE=noms;37460509]Every game ever would be a rip off and should credit each other if some of the people complaining in this thread got their way.

My argument stands. You [B]entirely[/B] stripped the space station 13 concept, down to the bones, and are charging ridiculous prices for it. That is not okay. Minecraft clones are minecraft clones, people know it, they cost little and they're not copying [B]every[/B] single little detail that makes minecraft what it is. Minecraft also earns money, a lot of money.

You claim to be copying only the theme, when in reality you're remaking the very same game. The combat system, the technology/science system, the round/objective system, the theme, and just about everything else. Yet you deny that you are doing it. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] My point is, give SS13 some credit, and stop making it sound like you developed that idea on your own. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] I don't know, add something like "Spiritual Successor of SS13" in the OP [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] Reading pages 4-6. . . Looks like you realized you were fighting a losing battle and decided to ignore it, noms. Is that what you wanted me to see? That I have the right idea about the state of things?

Centration is not SS13; and if you actually took the time to read into the game, the backstory, and all of our posts about the content of the game, you'd understand that in order to make a game like Centration, we're going to need money to develop, maintain, and expand on it. Yes, Centration is based on the gameplay concept that SS13 has borrowed - a sandbox survival game. The features we've decided to include are features -required- by any game that's going to be dynamic in space. We played with the idea for a persistent MMO experience, and a single-player game experience, and those ideas are still in the pipeline, but we (as a team) decided that what we've laid down as the foundations for Centration are necessary to deliver an amazing experience for our future players. Ignoring the fact that I originally developed SS13 along with Exadv1 and the others who contributed back in 2002/2003 (do I really need to acknowledge myself?), let's for a second indulge your claim that we've done what you've said. Do you HONESTLY think enough people are going to care? If it -was- a total rip of SS13, then it's SS13 in 3D. A lot of the original community will gladly pay money for that, and so will a lot of people who find the game in the future. But, you're wrong, so it doesn't matter.

I'm probably not going to visit this thread again, and to avoid further argument from with the small cult gathering you have attracted, [B]this game is likely going to flop like the rest of the SS13 remakes, whether you acknowledge your predecessor or not.[/B] [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] 2002 SS13 =/= 2012 SS13. The modern SS is a monstrous work of art, master crafted and tweaked after years and years of trolling and development.

Oh, and do you know how we developed SS13? By coming up with ideas that we thought games should have and putting them in as best we can. Using my own ideas for my own game? Oh noes, rip off.

The modern SS is a monstrous work of art, master crafted and tweaked after years and years of trolling and development.[/QUOTE] LOLWAT? Centration has absolutely no feature inspired or related to the 'modern' SS13 as you call it. Any features that are similar, are similar to the original game we stopped working on years ago. Whatever the Goons, Bay12, Facepunch or any of the other various communities did with it after it went open-source is nothing to do with us and to be fair - we're mostly not interested in it. Good games are built from good ideas from other games. That's how things are made these days - nothing is entirely original. If it was, you'd have a distinct lack of games to play. [editline]30th August 2012[/editline] If you do [b]insist[/b] that we're 'ripping' off SS13, then all I can say to that is that we're taking the idea we had behind SS13 and making it better. Coming up with ideas isn't hard work. Making a 3D game with all of the features we need is. We have a right to charge for our hard work. (Last Edit:) Also, to claim that programming in BYOND's DM by a bunch of kids from games communities is hard work is actually hilarious.
