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.

Hi All,

 

I've been lurking about for a while and decided to make an account. I'm a long time fan of space games. When I say long-time.... dialup BBS tradewars, omnitrends universe kinda old 🙂 My favorites were the Starflight and Star Control games. I've worked in tech since I was a teen, started making games for Excal BBS systems (StarLance and Trail of the Mage). I took a good 10-15 years to get back to making games, but I'm back at it.

 

I'm making StarDiver.... a space opera in a procedural universe. The biggest influences for the game are startlifght and starcontrol.

Anyway... Hi all! I look forward to chatting about some great space games 🙂

Welcome friken the game is looking great. And I was a huge TW2002 player and still do play from time-to-time, only hate that game has gotten too automated to make it fun 🙂

You also may want to make a separate game thread, because I don't auto-post welcomes to the mainpage. This way your game gets a little exposure. Glad you went from lurker to member see ya in the forums.

Thanks for the welcome. Oh how I miss the BBS days 🙂 TW2002 was awesome. I haven't even looked at it in for ever so I didn't know they automated it.
