Watch out for the zealots who will defend the UI and interface choices to the end of the earth that seem to pop up on every video. Space Station 13 is a great game and the interface is what it is for better and for worse, but it's such an absolutely weak excuse for the UI. You can have all of the pros and none of the cons of the current UI with only a few minor changes, but those won't happen because UI design is certainly not Dan's strong point.
Callum Smith Space Station 13 is a game that is still going strong. Calling it old is like calling LoL old, both receive updates regularly, just one comes from the community.
I used to administrate ss13 servers between 2003-2006. It's pretty old. But I laugh because I didn't know anyone else would have played it, or it would that popular. The UI immediately made me think of it.
Okay, people blindly defending something isn't too nice either. If you're not a zealot the post isn't directed at you, but i've had a few discussions about this game, some people are open to other opinions, I certainly understand the arguments in favor of the UI, I just disagree. Some people however that, upon you mentioning that you think the UI is bad, immediately call you a complete shitter and that you're 12, clearly shittalking, but also a sincere response - that's what I'd call zealous.
Please never stop playing this - it scratches that minecraft itch so badly. The conversations, the technical thinking, the building, and of course, seeing progress from video to video. I loves it.
RumpelForeskin awwwww...it's ok buddy! *puts blanket over* Unless you were quoting and forgot the quotation marks in which case i indicate body posture, mile and airy tone of voice!
RumpelForeskin ooooooooooh! Sorry! Asbergers... doi! Nah...i like happy smith! Plus, happy smith often becomes troll trott and ross smith so it's winwin for us! Plus, it's easier to objectify him when he's happy!
100% want to see more of this, you’re always entertaining to watch regardless of what game you’re playing but this game actually looks interesting. Keep making them and I’ll keep watching
I find it strange that there's coal on that asteroid. I'm interested in knowing how a piece of a planet was thrown into space or how the planet was destroyed
Having ideas and a desire to depth is not necessarily backed by tidy coding ability. As for the UI I think what we're seeing is something intuitive to the dev but not many other people. And he either doesn't care or can't understand why everyone doesn't like it.
The UI is like that and ain't going to change because this game is intended to become 3D ss13, the UI is almost a direct port of ss13's and its the simplest way really of doing the depth that the UI will have to do if they do fully develop it into 3D ss13 as intended. This isn't intended from the start to be a game so much for everyone to enjoy, its building the basic mechanics and systems to port of complex roleplay game into.
aesthetically, maybe, but gameplay? Not even close. I feel that Astroneers is more about exploring, while Stationeers is more about building super complex systems in a station(hence the name).
I enjoy this, it fills the void that trials/minecraft left and gives you an opportunity to just chat a bit without rockets going off or planes crashing. I'll watch more if you make more
Man I can seriously see just how much inspiration he took from Space Station 13 while making this game. I haven't played it in years but so much about Stationeers was giving me SS13 nostalgia, even down to fiddling with the hand system lol
I have boiled some pretty dirty water in the mountains before. Mountaineering in the winter, Ive had to source old snow for water because I had no moving water around, and there is all sorts of crap mixed in to the snow. Boiling makes it safe to drink, and I strain it to get the stuff out.
My only issue with games like this is there are no real goals so no real rewards. so for me its hard to stick with it. I try to set my own goals or like RP with myself "I have been sent to space to build a base that can support 20 people." or something like that, but its not the same. idk what my point is. maybe if you do a series you need to put out a few clear goals ahead of time so youre not just dicking around the whole time, but then again the dicking around is some of the best bits
This is intended to become 3D ss13, a game Dean loves, and wants to make a new improved version of, these are just the starts of the complex mechanics and systems that it needs to port the complex roleplaying game of ss13 into modern computer game engine style. The game will never have a intended purpose for general people to just pick up and play around with, its end goal is to have the round based roleplaying game style of ss13.
It's not its alot more complex and has no intention to compete with that style of game, what you are seeing here is jus the basic mechanics and systems started to be built so Dean can port the roleplaying game ss13 into a new 3D setting. Now given Deans flakeyness with development in the past who knows if he'll complete the job, however as the whole project is just a love letter to the ss13 community, they are already getting onboard and will likely mod the rest of the way even if the official development doesn't get there. Still from the ground up this is not a game with wide appeal or even trying to be and will never be built out in a way to be so, Dean has one very clear intention and thats to as said just make 3D ss13.
That part with the wet pajamas had me dying. This would make an amazing series, boys.
suddenly, a wild wizard appeared!
Hah yeah same!
Ross: Anyway, drench the walls!
Hahaha!
Oh two of my favourite youtubers in one place i can die happy
Poor Poor Katie XD every Trott story just makes me feel more and more sorry for her XD
If we get more chats like this in this series yes! YES YES
YES YES YES DADDY LIKES
I would support more videos of this game
As would I
I would too
Definitely!
I want to watch more.
Jason Orchard agreed
Please do a series on this game
I'd love a series in this game! You boiks would make a great space station.
INTUITIVE
REALISTIC
FUN
DEAN
Who's that dean guy?
ruben kobb game dev
I'm a bit torn on the UI for this. I love the depth but the way it's executed seems quite tedious.
It's closely based on the UI for an old game called space station 13. Once you get used to it it is actually pretty slick.
Watch out for the zealots who will defend the UI and interface choices to the end of the earth that seem to pop up on every video.
Space Station 13 is a great game and the interface is what it is for better and for worse, but it's such an absolutely weak excuse for the UI.

The conversations, the technical thinking, the building, and of course, seeing progress from video to video. I loves it.
I like this game, would like to see it as a series. :d Also, try Eco aswell. It's awesome. :D
Enough Bashin'
I want a series.
Trailmakers or Stationeers pls big daddies.
As much as I love TrailMakers I don't think there's really enough content in the game that'd allow for a proper series.
A series of build challenges.
They are already doing a trailmakers series, are you subscribed? As you would know that
yeah but it will only be like 3 episodes max of one build challenge and knowing hatfilms theyll do 2 and stop
O-or both. Both is good.
Loving Havin' a bash, its so refreshing to watch! The little jingles at the start are so good too :D
I would love to see this series! It’s just complex enough for the lads to have some banter and tell us some stories in the meantime
What? The creator of DayZ somehow created a shitty UI? I find that hard to believe.
The thought of Trott going to bed absolutely drenched is honestly so funny. And yes, more of this please boiks.
Hope it becomes a series. It's amazing thus far!
This looks like it would be a really fun series. please keep making it
Keep playing this and keep space chatting.
The banter in this video was great and I would love for this to turn into a series
we need a series my dudes
I think a series is a great idea and I would gladly watch more of you guys playing this.
Sounds like you guys enjoy this game haha it looks like it has potential. Bring on the series by all means
unless dean leaves again 😂
Talking about your halls cracked me up so much, I got some reeeally weird looks. Definitely a series of this!
Honest I would like to see them do a play though of the game. So yeah that could be fun.
This would be amazing as a series, please do it boys!
i would definitely watch this if you guys made it a series!! the bats remind me of the old trial fusion days
9:40 These guys never change and I LOVE it. Continuously singing and beatboxing out of everything
make a series of this please and thaaaaaank
Some of the best improv for a while i think and please series!!!
Great video guys. Thanks for uploading.
Seems like a solid series, especially with these funny stories
SER-IES! SER-IES! SER-IES!
Seriously, it's so nice to hear smith so happy!
marcherwitch it's unfamiliar and I'm not sure I like it
RumpelForeskin awwwww...it's ok buddy! *puts blanket over*
Unless you were quoting and forgot the quotation marks in which case i indicate body posture, mile and airy tone of voice!
I was just talking about Smith being happy. It's not normal and I don't like it.
RumpelForeskin ooooooooooh! Sorry! Asbergers... doi!
Nah...i like happy smith! Plus, happy smith often becomes troll trott and ross smith so it's winwin for us!
Plus, it's easier to objectify him when he's happy!
I'm going to wastefully run this episode on repeat like Smiffy runs his shower - so we can get a series.
Id be down for a series of this if the dehumidifier can have a cameo
I love the idea of you guys playing this and listening to your funny story's
P.S. Love you salty boiks. Always will. I have a shrine... Let me stop.
Shane Morton no please continue and don't leave any detail unmentioned.
100% want to see more of this, you’re always entertaining to watch regardless of what game you’re playing but this game actually looks interesting.
Keep making them and I’ll keep watching
Buggy Space Engineer copy with terrible UI.
The Dean Hall guarantee.
I don't think it can be buggier than Space Engineers, and that's coming from an SE fan
More like a difficult to navigate cross of Astroneer and SE
Jordan Pledge ever watched the Jimquisition?
Zap Gun Yeah but not in a while, why??
Then you should know there's games far buggier than SE out there.
Would absolutely love a series of this.
More moister talk.
HATVENTURES IS BACK!!! I want a series so bad
If there's coal on this planet, does that mean there were SPACE DINOSAURS?
I'm definitely down for more of this.
I would support this... as long as it wasn't like space engineers, where you just stop randomly
Series yes please. Keep going. I wanna see how far you guys take it!
If they made a series out of this game i would watch it
I would love to see this as a series, and I sure others feel the same!
I would love to see more of this!
If the banter stayed like this, I'd binge watch any series.
I find it strange that there's coal on that asteroid. I'm interested in knowing how a piece of a planet was thrown into space or how the planet was destroyed
I want to see more of this revolutionary, intuitive UI
MAKE THIS A SERIES
George Clooney floats past at 10:24
Yes. Please make this a series.
Wait, how the hell is there coal in space?
Seems legit. I'll run with it if you do...
I'm up for watching how ever many episodes you guys want to put out. Thanks for doing everything you guys do, I've been watching since Skylands!
I'd love to see more
Yes, series all the way! Even though it's very early in development it seems to be a nice little adventure to figure everything out.
This is amazing! More please!
I'd love to see more, AND I'd love to hear more about Trott's dehumidifier.
What is it with this dev and buggy games with horrible clunky UIs
Having ideas and a desire to depth is not necessarily backed by tidy coding ability. As for the UI I think what we're seeing is something intuitive to the dev but not many other people. And he either doesn't care or can't understand why everyone doesn't like it.
He probably doesn't care, I mean this is the same guy who did Day Z
The UI is like that and ain't going to change because this game is intended to become 3D ss13, the UI is almost a direct port of ss13's and its the simplest way really of doing the depth that the UI will have to do if they do fully develop it into 3D ss13 as intended. This isn't intended from the start to be a game so much for everyone to enjoy, its building the basic mechanics and systems to port of complex roleplay game into.
He's a moron
I would definitely watch a series of this. The game is interesting and the interaction between the three of you is entertaining. Go for it!!
Seems somewhat similar to astroneers.
It really isn't. Other than it's in space.
aesthetically, maybe, but gameplay? Not even close. I feel that Astroneers is more about exploring, while Stationeers is more about building super complex systems in a station(hence the name).
Come on guys, it's just Astroneer.
I like the podcast format for the recent videos - as long as you're basically Hat Chatting, I don't care what's on in the background
Absolutely would love this to be a series, good game in the background with hilarious conversations covering the silence of REALISM space xD
I love the intro
I enjoy this, it fills the void that trials/minecraft left and gives you an opportunity to just chat a bit without rockets going off or planes crashing. I'll watch more if you make more
Do it boiks. But keep bashing dean.
Man I can seriously see just how much inspiration he took from Space Station 13 while making this game. I haven't played it in years but so much about Stationeers was giving me SS13 nostalgia, even down to fiddling with the hand system lol
QWOP UI.
This is my comment putting forth my want for a continuing series of this rather interesting game.
Yours truly, Alex
Amazing vid boiks, moar please
I would love to see you guys play this more. I had a lot of fun playing this game, and you do sorta get used to the UI after a while.
Make it a series!
I have boiled some pretty dirty water in the mountains before. Mountaineering in the winter, Ive had to source old snow for water because I had no moving water around, and there is all sorts of crap mixed in to the snow. Boiling makes it safe to drink, and I strain it to get the stuff out.
We Want More. Make it, Please.
These "having a bash" vids have been interesting and hilarious.Nice work.
My only issue with games like this is there are no real goals so no real rewards. so for me its hard to stick with it. I try to set my own goals or like RP with myself "I have been sent to space to build a base that can support 20 people." or something like that, but its not the same.
idk what my point is. maybe if you do a series you need to put out a few clear goals ahead of time so youre not just dicking around the whole time, but then again the dicking around is some of the best bits
This is intended to become 3D ss13, a game Dean loves, and wants to make a new improved version of, these are just the starts of the complex mechanics and systems that it needs to port the complex roleplaying game of ss13 into modern computer game engine style. The game will never have a intended purpose for general people to just pick up and play around with, its end goal is to have the round based roleplaying game style of ss13.
This video was hilarious, would love to see more of this game!
Basically Astroneers
but shittier
Yup, even ripped off the name XD
I have played a fair amount of Astroneers and its not as deep as this game. Astroneer barely has anything to do after a few hours.
It's not its alot more complex and has no intention to compete with that style of game, what you are seeing here is jus the basic mechanics and systems started to be built so Dean can port the roleplaying game ss13 into a new 3D setting. Now given Deans flakeyness with development in the past who knows if he'll complete the job, however as the whole project is just a love letter to the ss13 community, they are already getting onboard and will likely mod the rest of the way even if the official development doesn't get there. Still from the ground up this is not a game with wide appeal or even trying to be and will never be built out in a way to be so, Dean has one very clear intention and thats to as said just make 3D ss13.
Much needed series
I almost like the the opening more than the content
series plz I have nothing else to look forward to in my life i need this
Series!
I WANT MORE! GIVE ME MORE! ITS A PODCAST IN SPACE!!! ITS PERFECT!!!
More! More! Please lads
Series, yes. Lego talk, yes. Pajama stories, yes. Just more of all this nonsense please guys, we love it!
Make a series!
I love watching this kind of game! Please do more!
MORRRREEEEEE!!!!!!! pls
Full series now, thanks.
This looks like a really poor rip off of space engineers lol
i see thge next project he will leave behind him unfinished! filled with bugs that others need to fix!
We add 'lol' when we're actually upset about something but don't want anyone to know we're really upset.
1x4 pretty much lol
Please more, that way we don't need to comprehend the UI playing ourselves.
More please
This would make an amazing series, can't wait.
It's cool dean is back
I'd love to see more as long as you guys don't get bored and bail two more episodes end...set a task and see it through
if you guys like this game then you might like astroneer which is a more simplified version.
I believe they already played it.
oh, yeah, you're right. I guess i just forgot. this game is just as fun to watch anyways
This game has been on my wishlist for ages would love to see a series.
MOAR!
jingles are getting better every day
