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.

updates on a few sims:

Hello to all,

Just a small note which might be of interest to space sim fans:

In the same way I have initiated contact with fred fettinger regarding remnants of the stars and have tried to stir the project again, I have had a few interesting updates recently concerning a few others:

The divine (packom interactive): packom leader david rodriguez has confirmed that the game is put on hiatus during an indefinite period of time, but is not dead. This is due to the loss of one of their programmers. He assured me that the idea is still alive though and that he will do anything possible to keep the divine alive.

abyss lights: frozen systems: abyss lights studios definately confirmed the fact that abyss lights remain in the works, however, marketing problems may lead to a title change.

Dark matter: the baryon project: although pixel cage hasn't updated this one for quite a while, the lead I talked with told me that a lot of info is still held secret around that sim. However, judging from the screenshots, it is possible the game will be renaimed supernova, and will feature FPS elements as well as space sim elements.

startorn: an independent project started by richard norton. The latter has stated on the HW forums that the project is still being worked on.

I hope this info can be of use to you.

best regards.

I have heard of all these but startorn. I tried doing a google search and looking through sourceforge and I cannot find anything on this one. Is there a website?

I would post more on the other games but there hasn't been status on them for months and even years on a few of them.

Thanks for the update.

You can ask all your questions regarding startorn to the person with the same username on the heresy war boards.

Interesting info: PDAmill studios have released a free PC version of anthelion 2: celestial vigilance, their space sim for Pocket PC. I'm now trying my best to know if they'll release also the prequel for PC. 🙂

I found that info on Startorn but besides that there is nothing. I have tried PMing startorn on Heresy War forums but nothing yet.

On Anthelion 2 you can see more info here: http://www.pdamill.com/prod_an2.shtml or http://www.pdamill.com/prod_pc.shtml

But only bad thing is that they don't provide a lot of info on the product in screenshots or movies.

Excellent news:

PDAmill have accepted to port the prequel, anthelion on our PCs. However, no exact date is known. 🙂

But we still have one more sim to enjoy (again)!
