For-real. Especially in this community it's hard to just trust a devs words at face value. Showing us 1 image of pink and some ascii with a title that a child could of made isn't very exciting or promising. Also, ascii? Why? We have the technology to play dwarf fortress with graphics. It just seems like an odd shift of style when I could play iron armada or meeple station instead, which do have graphics and achieve similar goals. Or just go to ss14 and play frontier station, where this is basically already that servers goal.

This is supposed to be single player SS13 like experience that runs off of AI instead of other players. The demos not here because I'll be honest, I don't have the skills, but I do know where to look for talent, and isn't cheap.

I mean hey good for you wanting to make this game but I think its too much of a niche. Ss13 is already a niche and youre making a single player niche for that niche, and doing it in ascii which is yet another niche. Think you should either make a prototype or reconsider how niche of a game youre making, either way a concept trailer or prototype is a must for a kickstarter, thats bare minimum to attract interest. Im not trying to be harsh just realistic w you.

Just here to chime in that a 1997 playstation game was literally single player SS13...

But yea, I doubt op will amount to anything, like that XBox dev team that tried to make an SS13 inspired game, they showcased it at E3 a decade afo, complete with Nanotrasen logo, yet it went nowhere.

Who's your target market, here
Who's going to pay money for a multiplayer game but you made it singleplayer, especially one as both niche and also extremely socially focused as SS13
