Here's my engine as of now, it's not generating a lot of power though

I'm probably forgetting something really obvious.

I think I'm nearly halfway done with the engine.

It generates quite a lot of power, but it needs constant maintenance to make sure it doesn't suddenly stop or overload.

I think the layout for my Donut 1.0 engine remake is done, I just need to add more valves and pumps to let engineers change how the engine works and maybe more decorations like warning signs.

Welcome back Death Engine, I missed you.

Wait, wouldn't the canister end up full on exploding if you shot them into where fiery depths of the combustion engine will be and cause a hull breach? I'm pretty sure canisters just full on explode now rather than break open when they burst out of heat.

They do when the engine overheats, I've been trying to develop a ventilation system that lets you cool down the room to stop it from happening.
And of course you'll be able to turn this system on and off, so traitors might find that to be pretty fun.
Oh wait, you mean the ones that you shoot into the engine?
Yeah, it will explode after being in the fire for a while, but it's not the same explosion kind of explosions bombs make, all it does it release a ton of gas.

Man I forgot how ugly canisters were.

I remember respriting those in a modern style for Halloween last year, it got used in a derelict version of the Evilreaver map.

I wonder what SS13 would look like today if most of the old objects didn't get completely redesigned?

At the moment it can pull another cart that'll eventually be capable of holding a crate, drill or digbot.

Some of you might remember the Donut Station 1.0 combustion engine remake that I made a while ago, I started working on the rest of the station for fun:

The hallway layout of the map hasn't changed much, but many of the areas (like the brig as seen in the picture) have been redesigned to be more like the newer SS13 maps.
It looks a bit ugly right now though, it's far from finished

I worked on some more stuff for Donutstation 1.5.
There's a small crawlspace around the engine that could be broken into and used to get to certain areas on the station quicker.

But it comes at a risk, though! if the engine is active then anyone inside the crawlspace will probably start heating up.

What do you guys think of the AI/Computer Core area for the donut 1 map remake I'm working on?
I tried my best to fit it in there.
(P.S, it's really unfinished so there's a lot of stuff missing)

Here's what it looked like on the original map for reference:

I started working on trams again.

The tram on the mining Z-level will come prestocked with a cargo cart, but if the miners feel like making a rollercoaster they'll be able to build a passenger cart like this one and go nuts!

LLJK #1 somehow completely broke a few rounds ago, it turned into this:

All the guardbuddies and robots became cytine nuggets for some reason.

Also, I've compiled a new SS13 map! I hope someone puts it on the wiki soon.

Man, it's gone a long way since one of the earlier versions:

I recently discovered a program that lets you generate QR codes from images that you can then use as patterns in the 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
The size for patterns is 32x32, so SS13 icons work perfectly!

I've started working on the bridge, it's sorta cool but as you can see, it's extremely unfinished and needs to be organized a bit better.

I love you for giving the HoP a bed in his office.

However, while it looks nice it keeps giving me the feeling that it's Cogsmap with an orientation flip, although when you look closer you can see that it isn't. Probably because the decor and basic layout is very similar.

I'm trying to make it consistent with Cogmap, so that's probably why.
But there are some new stuff that have been added or planned, like the market from Donut 2/Mushroom.

I really like seeing how you make the 2d sprites ss13 uses work in a 3d sense. What program do you use to make this, or have you already said that earlier?

I actually just use Photoshop to put them together.
Since SS13 is tile based, it's quite easy to do.

Hobnob posted:

I've sometimes wondered why one of the many, many forks of SS13 hasn't ever gone isometric since Byond introduced the ability to do so natively (other than support for it being lovely and buggy, but what else is new). It would certainly be a unique selling point. Maybe just too many sprites and other poo poo to change.

This will be extremely difficult with the newer code due to the huge amount of stuff that needs to be changed in them, but I'm giving this a shot with an older version of SS13 from 2008.

Do you guys think these isometric sprites look better with or without outlines?

Since they are all rendered in 3DS Max and touched up with Photoshop, they're easy to create.
