The Sseth era was a perfect example of why virtually every RP-centric game community in existence is password protected and/or a whitelist. It's actually a testament to the resilience of SS13 servers and moderators that so many of them weathered the storm and remained public.

Would like to point out that Greytide was a term used long before Sseth made his video.

Damn, I remember the SS13 threads on SA back in the day, I had no idea it was still active.

I learned about the game from sseth and fell in love with the concept and played for ages. I never got robust though. I feel like I’m finally getting a grasp of most things in ss14

I discovered SS14 and dear God I was so happy to see it, a good bit felt nice and streamlined for new players in 14.

Here to share the sentiment that SS14 is going swimmingly!

26:10 Greytides being Greytides really fucks up your SS13 round.

Oooooooh another upload from Archbishop Wex! Great video man, you're criminally underrated!

I hope that SS14 will skyrockets SS13’s popularity. Im predicting that it will!

At this point it is better to stick with SS14. Just superior in all ways except for the fact that it's still in early development. SS13 can only run in 1 core and BYOND as a whole is really buggy.

@@nukechicken4862 It has nothing to do with respect towards new or older players. Limb targeting is ATM not in the cards because it's unecessary and it never had much reason to exist either. It was a gate towards the other mechanics and contributed very little despite taking up the entire numpad (which is now used to rotate your view since being lost in space rotates your camera at random to simulate getting lost). All mechanics involving it's usage are still being added too. If you think any improvements that aren't 1:1 with the original are a disrespect to the previous game, maybe it IS better that you stay in SS13 where no one else has to deal with your toxic and nostalgia driven "design vision"

@@rompevuevitos222 surgery, combat, basic medical, dismemberment, stun chances, dead limbs, etc. These all improve the gameplay and roleplay quality incredibly, in ss13, if someone is pointing a gun at you, you can take the chance and punch them in the groin or head to have a higher chance to miss but also a higher chance to stun, I have never used the numpad to select a limb, that is not required to select limbs and if you decide to go for "it takes up the screen space" it takes up the same space as a hand slot and you can disable it in ss13 by pressing f12, it is nothing but an improvement to the gameplay, to remove it completely over a rotating camera is baffling, and I can continue with combat and how if you strike the neck it can choke someone in some codebases and how you can blind people with a screwdriver then slit their neck

Nice docu again Archbishop Wex lke your debute video on DF SS13 a game thats a fun and one complex/randomness and general mayhem type of gem, i can see that this game might had influenced the devs of Among Us (basicly SS13 lite) yet there has no official mention/source of that. a played a bit of SS13 a long time ago( around 2010-12ish) due to a KZreadr called PlumpHelmetPunk, if anybody wants to binge over 200 vids (going from the old 10min upload limit to 2hours) on multiple servers like Ovary Station, Mushroom Station, Cogmap and Donut Station. and Archbishop Wex could you please do a video on Cataclysm (and the opensource continuation Dark Days Ahead)

Thanks. I've had a few requests for Cataclysm, so I'll definitely look into what I can find surrounding its history.

Good work man all your stuff is very thorough

i got into space station 2 weeks ago, randomly, met someone in a discord server then they they helped me to isntall and showed me some basics. i am in love with ss13 now :D

This video deserves more views, this is an amazing, comprehensive, and informative video! Amazing work! Best video to watch while on my break :D

My favourite mischief simulator

I've just recently begun my carrer with Nanotrasen and it's been interesting getting a history of the company like this, thanks for sharing! I'd leave a longer comment, but a clown just ran down the hallway throwing pies with loaded revolvers in them and now I have to go fill in while our Chief Engineer gets cloned, bye for now!

I play ss14 recently, and I like the game even with the content it have right now! It have a pretty big chance to be the sequel! Wanna play ss13 though, only time will tell when.

I can't stop loving the spaceman simulator. Fun video, I'll check out the DF one too

8:17 First part of the second paragraph Oh how the more things change the more they stay the same

ive started playing 4 years ago and cannot go back, half my gaming time is on SS13 now mainly on TGstation

I really want to watch this gor what little i might learn, but the first 10-20 seconds let me know you weren't there yet

As one of the new admins for SS14 I will say. It is much more user friendly and much more intuitive. It also feels way smoother to use. Downside being that we only have about 4 major round types, alongside about 12 random mid round events. I highly recommend trying it :)

SS14 is pretty simple, but I've had a lot of fun on there. Obviously, SS13 is still the far superior version, but SS14 has great potential.

I like the game but never found a good server for my tastes. I probed arounda little back in 2014/15 on /tg/ station and had some fun rounds there but didn't really get into it. After that I tried to find some other servers throughout the years but only half assd. Especially now it seems that all communities are very old and everyone is just metagaming in a wierd way because it's almost impossible for them to play the game as intendet after a decade.

how this game servers survived for so long? its a free game

I've just started my career as a Nanotrasen employee and I would guess that it's the sheer random wacky adventures you can have that keep it fresh after all these years.

Open source makes everything better

Oh yeah

I couldn't experience SS13 in its golden era But I am currently experiencing SS14 and it the rise of the community and new features. (from ss13 mostly)

Man, I remember pouring hundreds of hours into /vg/ and tgstation back during 2013-2016, amazing times had with that game. Just a shame I had to drop it bc the fucking looooong rounds where affecting my academics pretty badly lol

11:37 I definitely know a gibbed that fits this profile ... time to interrogate.

The moral of the story: free and open code benefits everybody, and Richard Stallman is based.

The clown was a punishment "job" at first, thats why it has "clusmy" genetics and missfiring chance. But ss13 players where sickos and enjoyed it.

We need a DF player and ss13 player venn diagram
