Space Clinics

Hospitals

Supporting healing and respawn gameplay features

Players can now enjoy the healing and respawn functionalities at one of the many rest stops scattered throughout Stanton. We also developed more space clinic variations to give a "new" feel every time players respawn at a different rest stop.

Orison Hospital - Orison Hospital and New Babbage Hospital were the first hospital mandates shipped by the Montreal team.
Space Clinics MedRoom - One of the MedRooms available to players looking to respawn and treat their injuries in the various rest stops.
The lobby of New Babbage Hospital. Upper floors are where players can go to treat their injuries and also respawn. Getting killed has never been so comfortable!
GrimHex MedRoom - One of the available medical rooms in the GrimHex facility. Not the most sanitized environment, but beggars can’t be choosers!

GrimHex Clinic - The verse’s outlaws got their own version of high-quality healthcare at the GrimHex landing zone. This surgeon facility will allow players with a dubious reputation to respawn in a “safe” environment among their peers!

Lorville Hospital: Maria Pure of Heart - The austere presence of the Hurston family can be felt throughout this vast hospital located in the Lorville landing zone. The Montreal team has been working tirelessly for a whopping 6 months to get this colossal medical facility up and running.

Maria Pure of Heart MedRoom - One of the medical rooms located in the upper wards of Lorville Hospital, where players can respawn after death and treat their injuries.
Maria Pure of Heart Concept - An early concept for the Lorville Hospital lobby area.
Area 18 Hospital - This hospital location offers similar gameplay loops to previous released locations: the ability to respawn, treat injuries, purchase life insurance and more. Its distinctive palette and architecture fit right in with Area 18 LZ.
Area 18 Hospital Wards - The upper floor of the Empire Health Service medical facility, complete with a nurses' station and wards with multiple medical rooms ready to welcome patients.

Tools

Tech artists and tools programmers innovate to take game development to the next level

The Mighty Bridge Tool

Using procedural generation to serve the Persistent Universe

Space stations generated through Mighty Bridge, which uses Houdini and modules to create layouts, gameplay elements, overlays and more!

The Houdini simulation tool allows for the automation of a ship's destruction. The process is used to create crash sites in-game.

Clothes - Generate a tarp according to the topography of the elements.
Cables - Easily create placement cables in level structures.
Railclone - Quickly place objects along a line.
Stacker - Automatic placement for objects that can be stacked on top of one another.
