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.

If you get a chance, drop by the Salvation Prophecy forums and say hi. I'd love to have a little more traffic around there.

Screenshots are looking great Jabberwocky and nice to know your into beta phase now. I think the art style is great for salvation prophecy, it must keep your art team members busy 🙂

What are those gold spheres?

Great screen shots Jabberwocky 😎

Are you using a new graphic engine as they look different to the old ones. ❓

Hey PINBACK,

Same graphics engine. Just some art updates, and more time refining the artwork and lighting.

I'm glad you notice a difference - hopefully it's better. 🙂

Hey DarkOne,

Thanks for the kind words on the art style. It's particularly nice to hear because there are actually no full-time artists on the team (can't afford it), so largely I've just done what I can myself, and contracted out everything else. Getting art from many different people and sources, without having the artists working together in the same place is a huge challenge for the art direction. And I am not an artist by trade, so it took a lot of effort to make everything look somewhat consistent.

Those gold spheres are just part of the decor of the planet. They look pretty neat in game - the texture sort of swirls and changes as you watch them. It was just an idea I had to give the landscape a splash of colour with something that looks kind of alien and freaky.
