About tgstation/tgstation
/tg/station is a community-maintained codebase for Space Station 13, a paranoia-driven round-based roleplaying game where players inhabit a chaotic space station filled with absurd scenarios and danger. The game features charming sprite-based sci-fi visuals and emphasizes emergent gameplay through player interaction and unpredictable events. It's built using DreamMaker, BYOND's programming language, and represents one of the most popular forks of the original SS13 project.
The codebase provides everything needed to run a playable SS13 server, including compilation tools that automate the build process through simple batch scripts. Development is community-driven with contribution guidelines, extensive documentation via HackMD, and an active Discord community for collaboration and support. The project uses automated CI testing and maintains detailed code documentation alongside a comprehensive wiki for both players and developers.
The project is licensed under GNU AGPL v3 for recent code, with assets distributed under Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0. It attracts a diverse audience ranging from casual roleplayers experiencing the game's chaotic scenarios to game developers interested in how complex multiplayer systems function within the BYOND engine's constraints.
