See [[The history of SS13]] for more about the Byond version of Space Station 13.

Over the years, there have been many attempts at remaking Space Station 13. This is a list which hopes to document the various remake attempts and games inspired by Space Station 13. With the sheer number of failed remake attempts, "SS13 remakes" became an in-joke among Space Station 13 developers.

Surely someone will make it happen one day! :D

== Commercial attempts ==

Some commercial attempts were made to either recreate Space Station 13 or make a game inspired by it.

=== Primulus ===

[http://primulusgame.com/ Primulus] was a top down 3D game, made in Unity, which was developed by two Baystation12 developers. They released a technical demo, however ended up abandoning the game after failing their kickstarter campaign. The technical demo featured a single player 3D environment, atmospheric simulation, user interaction with objects, ability to use objects with machines on the station, and a tutorial.

=== Centration ===

[https://centrationgame.com/ Centration] was a first-person 3D game, initially developed in Unity, later remade in Unreal Engine. The game was developed by Angry Engineers Entertainment, founded by one of the very early developers of vanilla Space Station 13. The game was released on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/243300/ Steam Early Access]. Its reviews were initially very hopeful and positive. The Unity version of the game featured a multi-player environment where characters could move around a pre-built space ship and interact with a small selection of machinery, which allowed them to open/close airlocks and toggle lights. The version was scrapped for alleged technical limitations of the engine and replaced with a version made in Unreal Engine. This version featured another pre-built station with physics objects and lens flare. Lots and lots of lens flare. The Unreal version however never included working multi-player. Centration was officially abandoned and made unacquirable on Steam in 2015.
