To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Kickstart for an interesting looking Real time tactics, roguelike survival horror type space ship exploration game. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/schellgames/the-nullpoint as usual check the Kickstarter for more detaiols.
Looking for a big $135K and they also have a prototype demo to download http://nullpoint.schellgames.com/
In the year 2109, we discovered an abandoned alien structure floating in deep space on the edge of the solar system. The first attempts to explore inside it ended in disaster.
Guide the remaining survivors through the sprawling passageways of the Nullpoint. Explore, scavenge, and survive long enough, and you may uncover the story of the ill-fated expeditions, and the dark secrets of the Nullpoint itself.
For anyone to escape the Nullpoint, sacrifices will have to be made. New survivors can always be found to replace the fallen. But beware: there are no reloads, and backup isn’t coming. If your survivors all die, you’ll have to start again from the beginning.
Quick Overview
- Platforms: PC / MAC
- Real-Time Tactics - Control up to 5 survivors with a scheme familiar to any RTS player.
- Survival Horror Elements - Scavenge for limited supplies, but keep a lookout for things that lurk in the darkness. Gauge carefully whether to fight, run, or hide based off of your team's resources.
- Ship-based & On-foot Exploration - Guide your ship between docks in the Nullpoint, then disembark and take your survivors on loot runs.
- Ship Upgrade Meta - Use scavenged resources to upgrade & repair your ship's internal systems.
- Roguelike Gameplay Loop - Getting through the Nullpoint will be difficult, and the stakes are high. If all survivors in the party die, the game will reset and the dungeons will re-randomize.
Looks like The Nullpoint isn't going to meet the funding they need. The game is Greenlit on steam so I think we will see this eventually.
Not too surprised given the amount they wanted.
