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.

Hiya,
Shores of Hazeron will be hitting steam early access very soon! To commemorate that, I made a trailer of Shores of Hazeron which only makes use of actual gameplay:
Let me know what you think!
And if you have comments on the video, please slap me around a bit with your feedback!
The sad part is that Shores of Hazeron/Haxus might still be one of the better Early Access Games/Devs.
There's a pretty low bar there.
So, Haxus wants to further monetize the game?
Brilliant.
I'm kinda worried that Haxus won't take well to the Steam community. He doesn't handle criticism or suggestions very well.
But the servers almost certainly won't be able to handle an influx of players that Steam might provide.

That might be easily fixed by the fact that he'd be providing a competent product among the sea of fecal matter that greenlight has let into the steam market nowadays (in other words: players judging by the quality of said product and not by the source) and the possibility that the bit of extra income might cover a server upgrade, if plausible.
But still, that's just me rambling on a topic I know little about, I'm of the unlucky few that got to notice the game during the big "shutdown guise, buh-bye" stage before it became "pay-to-play guise, buh-bye f2p-ers".
main reason it went down last time is because he ran out of money to run it. Hazeron costs him 2500$ per month to run. Current subscription levels simply aren't enough. There's about 100 subscribed people right now, and he'd need 250 to break even.
Events earlier in the game by certain player groups severely reduced Hazeron's playerbase due to a massive wave of griefing newer players by said groups. This has also reflected on Haxus' attitude to such groups. See: http://hazeron.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7855&start=30#p88410
Do know that the current Hazeron server setup has ran 300+ players in the past (back in 2012 and earlier). So I think the servers can handle the amounts which will likely be drawn into the game. The real big issue would be if suddenly there's a massive spike of players due to the game being featured by a popular youtube personality (IE: someone like Scott Manley or Robbaz or so).
