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:![[Image: amxdxc6bt4h11.png]](https://i.redd.it/amxdxc6bt4h11.png)
