A 3D SS13 remake would be amazing- but it's probably not happening.

For simplicity, let's say it'd be like your typical MMO- cartoon, or maybe realistic if they are feeling ambitious, top-down view and all that. I'd enjoy the extra immersion and intuitivity of such a remake's format.

But... the likelihood of such a thing lasting until early access, beta, or even an alpha is so depressingly low, I won't even entertain the possibility.

The curse would slam down so hard on that remake, it'd be unbelievable.
Think about it: the curse exists for several reasons, and this would aggravate several of them.

  1. Inevitable and potentially controversial changes. The OG fanbase of Space Station 13 (and the largest demographic to appease when making a remake) is wary of trusting a remake as its replacement. They will only change to it if they feel it is respectful to the source material and, most importantly, fun and chaotic. This remake would expect them to learn a completely new control scheme, bare-bones content from having just been made, a new look, a new ui, new audio, and perhaps a different vibe. So much would fundamentally need to be different that the original fans would be thoroughly disillusioned. Only the adventurous ones would give it a chance.
  2. Money. To code a 3D game, they would need more people to manage the added complexity of an additional dimension. You cannot create a multiplayer server with vast systems and a 3d world on your own. You just can't. You aren't Superdev. You. Can't. So, people will need to be hired; you'll need to pay those people. Even if you keep a small team on the cruelest wages possible, you'd still find yourself with an extra expense taking from the modest funds SS13 remakers usually have.
  3. Coding complexity. Now, there is an extra dimension to account for when you code. The coding will need to compensate; the camera must watch out for clipping and model warping, the models need to be more complex so they don't look uncanny (Though a 3d SS13 would probably be more merciful towards weird-looking models, but still), and there is suddenly a thousand more potential glitches and errors that must be addressed somehow.
  4. The system would need changing. The most obvious problem is that not only would it need to be changed from the BYOND system, but it'd also need a completely different one to support another dimension, so that means very little code could be ported; they'd have to build it from the ground up. That means more coding, more coders to pay, and more time to fade from relevancy... that brings us to the 5th point.
  5. Optics and development time. Not only would 1 give it bad optics in the eyes of most SS13 fans, but it would also take way longer to create due to the issues listed before; that means more time for it to lose relevancy and support while the dev team scrambles to make an alpha to keep engagement and not fall off. In fact, if they scramble too much, a shitty alpha can be a knife in the heart for indie or unknown games like this.

Overall, 5 stars would need to align; they'd need a way of winning support from the original fans or finding a way around that entirely (Such as drawing enough fans from another source- though this would be very hard since SS is fundamentally a somewhat niche concept), ample funding that wouldn't make them seem like sell-outs (Which would turn almost all of the SS13 fandom against them, and that'd make things even harder), a team capable of handling the challenge without being broken by the requirements or breaking the bank, a whole-ass new system to build the game from the ground up in, and time-crunch the entire time to avoid losing relevancy and having to do the rest on hard mode.

Overall, I may be wrong on a few minor things here (And tell me if I am), but I think I've gotten the point across. The curse would obliterate any team but the most determined trying to make something like this. It'd come down on 3D SS like Amazon comes down on unions.

Alright, Mortal WL being judgified is ret-conned.

Not because Jay-vader didn't like it, but because the person who did it deleted their account and disappeared entirely, so I can't move forward with that even if I wanted to.

Does Scorpodor have a more active alt?

He's ghosted me for the 3rd time now and I had to retcon something accordingly. If I'm going to deal with him in the future, I need a better way to communicate.

Silksong reveals a bit of lore for the vessels that means one thing above all else

The knight is confirmed by Silksong to have a will of their own, enough to bring the shades to Pharloom and save Hornet from the void.

This means one thing.

The knight wasn't just unresponsive or hollow- they consciously chose to allow Salubra to kiss them.

Unlike before, she no longer hesitates to direct her beloved children into the service of a god. Were it not for her soul and name, few would recognize her.

The not-so-white lady returns to Pharloom

Reduced to powerlessness by her daughter, but in doing so, freed from duty, the most noticeable thing is that she doesn't have a glow anymore; additionally, her body seems much less root-like and more humanoid; she has a visible fanged mouth now.

She's currently wearing a grey robe and a black carved mask. Interact with her if you wish, but be careful. She isn't defenseless.

I shall be fazing out of this rp.

Slowly, I have realized how little this subreddit prioritizes a consistent, serious story, and it angered me. But this got worse when I realized that the lenient moderation means you can practically roleplay someone as the exact opposite of their canon self and get away with it with no social or mod consequences. I don't like how some people here RP, and it gets me steamed up to see how nobody even cares about how some canon characters canonically are, so much that I realize it isn't helping me or my issues to be here. I will be wrapping up the arcs I already began, so you don't feel too left out, and ending my characters. Maybe a few can be inherited, but this shall be their finale in this subreddit unless I return.

Chrysaora has become a fly. How? Probably has something to do with Duty taking over the slab. Currently, she lies in her room, munching on muckroaches. Interact with her if you dare... she's powerless, but very cranky.
