We need feedback on the flight and combat mechanics from Subspace veterans - thanks!

Playtest on Steam

We're putting together the next SVS Draft League season.

Reclamation League — Season One registration is open now.

The format is straightforward: players register individually, we form the player pool, captains draft the teams, and we run the season from there.

If you've played Premier / Pro / Draft League before, you know the routine — squad pracs during the week, rankings, predictions, lineups, Sunday matches, standings and playoffs.

That's the part we're trying to lean into heavily with Reclamation.

We're also building more of the League experience into one place — player careers, historical records where we can recover them, stats, teams, standings, replays, matchmaking and the game itself.

Reclamation has browser access, but that's really just an easier way into Subspace. The focus here is League.

And you don't need an established squad to participate.

If you've been away from SVS for a while, this is a pretty easy reason to come back and see who's still around.

If you're new, you're welcome too. Put your name into the same pool and play.

See you Sunday.

Subspace has no lateral thrust, you have to face your direction of acceleration and either go back or fwd. What do we think of this choice? Would subspace be worse with lateral thrust, too easy, more confusing (because the sprite is so small, you might forget where you are facing) too many keys to manage in total?

Hey all I'm working on rebooting subspace for fun. This is a serious project.

What this means is a variety of things, including:

• exact same game mechanics, running on optimized net-code
• old vets can still connect with Continuum
• modern clients connect and play with a refreshed experience (3D graphics, clickable-UI, new game settings)
• no install needed -- players connect through the browser (can toggle between classic experience or modern)

I'm looking for new players and old vets to join and test during a small closed beta period. Current settings are catered towards SVS and Powerball

I remember people believing there was a massive helicopter crash and he died or was hurt? We were all like 11-13 years old so surely it was exaggerated at the least.

I was 'Fighter.' and I think Externals won league one of the years I was playing. Miss all those people, all you people !

...and remember Mom?

I'm sad to pass on some news I just found, Carrie passed on in April of this year. Rest easy, Mom. Thanks for the fun times in chat, and coffee IRL.

Is there anyway or anyone that could help me reset my password? I don’t think pointman or Prittk are around anymore are they? 😅

I'm currently developing a Subspace clone as a personal passion/learning project. Not sure if anything will come of it, but I will let this sub know if it does. But I'm trying to specifically recreate the Extreme Games server settings. (Any old X-Squadron ppl here??) At least when I was messing around with custom servers back in the day, the server settings were always encoded in a config.ini file.

If I remember correctly, the config.ini file is saved when you connect to the Subspace server (though I might be wrong). Does anyone happen to have the config.ini for Extreme Games? I no longer have a windows device and I don't even know if the EG server still exists.

For the last few years, I spent my free time trying to complete various versions of SubSpace I found online and then porting them to Android and iOS. I finally finished a v1.

The game is completely free, there are no ads, and no data tracking. I host the multiplayer server myself.

Why did I do this? So that a younger generation could try the game and have fun, like I did, so it's not just lost to time. Plus it was a fun side project to learn C++, OpenGL, etc.

Hey guys,

I know this is a tightknit community, and to be honest I've got a fair amount of apprehension even posting - however thought it might be of interest. We're two dads making FOXFIRE a topdown space game.

The baseline ship was modified off the feel I've had playing Subspace over the years, we've got 4 other ships that are tuned differently offering markedly different playstyles, though all using the WASD keys - except for one which has two giant lateral thrusters (A/D) which if both are held together means you go forward, only holding one means you rotate+thrust leftward or right.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in playtesting? I can't think of a better group that instantly understands the physics and feel of the game and if we're on the right track.

100% also understand if this is totally wrong forum, but couldn't think of a better way.

Cheers

Ollie & Tom

I just remember the good 'ol days of some of the squads that dominated. I remember players like Trixter, Omega, Blizzard X, and squads like ONE, Inner Circle, Nightwatch...

Brings back memories.

Games are played in ISOJ Nexus US East instead of the old Chaos/SVS zone.

There’s an active Discord group for the game/zone, and a new league is starting soon.
There will be both a draft league and a stacked league.

Some of the players who have signed up for the league: da monkk, blink, worldstar, ozn, loveless, three, legacy, aiti, crescendo, ra etc.

The gauntlet was the best server prove me wrong

Does anyone know how to run bots on subspace? I have searched a lot but didnt find anything that works

I feel as though Subspace would be on a list of the most fun games for our micro generation

Old player wanting to come back from a long hiatus, was wondering if they brought back the cloaking ability for the weasel in Trench Wars?

I used to play SS some 20 or so years ago, and I'm sure at the same time there was a similar game by maybe the same devs? Online, war based with rooms/buildings, guns/bombs etc.

But I've searched and searched and never found it again, so I'm not even sure I'm not making it up at this stage.

Does anyone remember a server where the ships were actually samurai skins, I think ship #2 was an archer and it wasn't set in space, someone actually made a map with full fledged backgrounds of dojos and such. It feels like a fever dream now..

Big ups to 5tonecold, Margaret Thatcher, Avalon, Hooligan, senior, charas, and all the other legends I forgot. Its been more than 20 years!

I can't believe Subspace is roughly 30 years old. Started playing beta 0.95 back in 1996 (pretty sure).

Anyone remember some 17 year old dork named "Sleet"? Well, I'm 46 years old now and I would totally go for some 1600X900 resolution Running/Jackpot zone carnage.

Trixter, D-Tox, Babamonkey, kaboom!....etc.

What a trip that was.

We need an app for subspace. I'd play all the time on my phone. I'm not a programmer, maybe have open source so everyone interested can contribute? Just a thought

"Hello Subspace! My name is Valekraft I am here to provide the sounds to keep your space battles bumpin'"

Is how I would open my timeslot on Trenchwars Radio exclusively available through Winamp in 2002-2004.
I would take requests and download songs from pirated sites to keep it flowing.. At point my librarary hard-drive for music was well over 10,000 songs poorly saved as low bitrate Mp3s.

I haven't thought about this game in over a decade until a random reddit post brought me here today glad to see its still going.

Keep blasting those leviathans for me

Terrier Class for Life..

Put together this short video about the project.
You can download and run it from github for now, once I have enough money to host it somewhere I'll post links here :)

Long time no see. I remember posting about it on the discord server a long long time ago.
I just recently updated the game, it's open source and I ran out of money to host it somewhere so you'll have to play on LAN with your friends or against bots... sorry.

There are a few maps/scenarios you can activate from the command-line when running the server:

yarn start -map demo

yarn start -map kuiperbelt

yarn start -map prizefield

to disable bots just add "no-bots" like so:

yarn start -map demo no-bots

All maps are in the maps folder.

Everything can be changed in the maps and config.json file without needing to rebuild, only restart the server.
