Recap

It's been a while. Despite popular belief, the probject is still trucking along. Albeit a little slower than we would hope. We haven't had a blog in many months due minimal progress so we are especially excited to release this.

What We're Doing

While things may seem dire when it comes to this project, hope has never been lost. Come hell or high water, SS3D will break the curse and become the remake it was destined to be.

As of the airing of this devblog, we are in the process of advertising ourselves and searching for new blood to help build this project. We have a bounty board with money to back it up. If you are a programmer or know someone who wants to earn a few extra buckaroos, check out our github bounties. We will update it as often as possible. Our funds may be limited but we will try to make it worth your while.

Localization

Ryan has implemented localization to the game. With support for French, Portugese, and Russian. More languages will be added, but for now its a start to making the game more accessible to non-English speakers. Below you can see the system in action, with a fallback if localization isn't included in a specific asset.

Current translations are made via Google Translate. Those willing to assist in broadening the language support for SS3D can join our Discord and assist a programmer in getting their language implemented.

Electricity

Goru integrated the vending machines and jukebox into our electricity system. They both now consume a small amount of electricity while connected to the electrical grid and idling, and consume even more when in use.

Construction (Crafting)

Nath added construction recently. This is not a new system but rather an expansion to the crafting system. And now have construction recipes for walls.

Details

Goru

• Fixed a duping UI bug that would manifest between rounds.
• Repaired the vending machines, restocking them in the process.

IAmTeapot

• Fixed lighting bug where objects would appear completely black when not lit.
• Fixed an interaction during construction.
• Re-added a missing script to the human which was causing bugs.

With Water

• Fixed clipping on large wall mounts.

Sjerty

• Added some options to the game settings, allowing UI elements to be switched.

NecroMunger (new contributor)

• Fixed a bug regarding audio sources when they get destroyed.
• Capped the distance to how far items could get picked up.
• Fixed being able to place items outside the players view and on non-flat surfaces.

Nath

• Minimized bandwidth usage by reducing unnecessary syncs.
• Added ParrelSync which allows for faster host + client testing.
• Added Fast Script Reload package which allows for making code changes while testing without needing to recompile.

John

• Added open/close interactions to lockers.
• Added stylecop scripts to enforce coding rules.

Models

Sen made some additional atmospheric pipes along with new filters for them.

jusdie (new contributor) made the infamous emag.

Textures

Plasma Eagle made some UI mockups for atmospherics panels that will be useful for the aformentioned machinery.

Art

ProbablyNot is once again responsible for this blogs cover art.

WIP

We normally don't like to mention WIP content here in our blogs due to the nature of WIP content to begin with. Some of this content may not make it into the game for a long time or even at all...

So, we won't be disclosing specifics, to see those you will have to invade our Discord Server. However, we would like to briefly mention they we are currently working on the oh-so-important Animation & Atmospheric systems. Both of which have been major bottlenecks for this project.

Footnotes

Despite everything, we appreciate the support you all have given us. Every contributor past and present have been important to the continued life of this project.

Once again we would like to direct those interested to our bounty board. Please tell your programmer friends about us, any help will always be appreciated.

After that, come hop in our Discord to see more frequent updates and chat with the developers!
