Ephemeral Space is a fork of Space Station 14, with a focus on social deduction, crew-focused conflict, and experimental new systems, set on the stage of an old theater at the end of time.
Space Station 14 is a remake of SS13 that runs on Robust Toolbox, a homegrown engine written in C#.
Ephemeral Space has documentation pertaining to code conventions, game design, feature documentation, and spriter/mapper guidelines here.
Upstream's docs site has documentation on SS14's content codebase, engine code, and more. Additionally, see these resources for license and attribution information:
