State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - ZeWaka - 08-19-2018 Long time no see. I haven't written one of these in a while. Just over a year, in fact. Time to write a bit about the current status of Goonstation and what's going on currently. Oshan Laboratory I'm sure most of you have seen the trailer for Oshan Laboratory. Its really different, and exciting. We've been working hard on this, and we can't wait to share the fun experience with y'all. Fun Stuff in store:
Current projects We've been working on other stuff during the development of Oshan as well. Things like the recent Solarium content, such as the Japanese-themed workshop, or previews of a mysterious glove you may have seen. We always strive to constantly provide engaging content, and a fun server to play on. Things to improve As per the last thread, we talked about randomizing the diner Z-level and some other suggestions given there. We've found that it's already quite laggy to generate our current asteroids on Z5, and the placement of the randomized structures takes up most of the time. Therefore, randomly generating the diner Z is not feasible currently. We're also looking at improving different mechanics of the game in the future, such as the economy system and cyborg modules. Finally, a little thing by our amazing artist Gannets: RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - NateTheSquid - 08-19-2018 im a big fan of splish splash and swish slash RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Erev - 08-19-2018 I am a bit worried how deeply Oshan will cut into the main station/server's dev time. Is there any info on how one affects the other? Will it be its own server or a 'map' equivalent?

It's going to be its own map, albeit completely different from the others. Currently, most of the new underwater mechanics will be confined to just the Oshan map. So, it won't really cut at all swing as it's pretty much done. The majority of the project was only done by a small team as well, so it's not like every single coder has been working on this and nothing else.

Oh totally. New maps, new mechanics, new stuff!

RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Vitatroll - 08-20-2018 RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Spoodle - 08-20-2018 Someone asked this on the Discord, so I'll ask it here. Will there be underwater nuke ops? RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Gannets - 08-20-2018 All currently occurring round-types will also run on Oshan. I'm sure there's bugs that'll crop up due to that, but that's to be expected. RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Erev - 08-20-2018 Will the map be released before launch, at launch, or after launch? Will there be different Oshan station maps? Can vampires leave the station without poofing. For thar matter is day and night a thing? RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Gannets - 08-20-2018 Oshan is currently the only underwater map. It will be released on saturday, with all that entails. I imagine vampires take damage in the ocean, same as space. There is no night cycle currently. All of this can change! RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Readster - 08-20-2018 Vampires are stuck on the station. You see Abzu has blessed seas. Holy water RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Erev - 08-20-2018 (08-20-2018, 05:12 PM)Readster Wrote: Vampires are stuck on the station. You see Abzu has blessed seas.

RE: State of the Goonion - Underwater Tidings - Vitatroll - 08-20-2018 Classic vampires often suck with moving water, anyways. |
