The Game
What's the point of this game?
 * To be apart of an exciting story; to suffer greatly.  It will never be a pleasant experience. The game is designed for a mature and very specific audience, and it will never be player-friendly.

'''Will it be open source? People would be just happy to steal some features for SS13 or to host their own servers with alterations for their tastes!'''
 * It would be a *crime* to give anybody a chance to casualize the game or to fill it with retarded things like Tajarans, Ians, or Voxes.

'''Games runs smoothly, but sometimes a 10-20 second lag spike occurs, Why is that? Can you fix it?'''
 * Experimentally I found out that it's a BYOND-related problem. Sometimes, when a player is downloading resources, a freeze occurs until he finishes.
 * It might be because of relatively huge (in terms of BYOND) resource size, 100+ MB.
 * A built-in preload_rsc option doesn't work either, once again, because of the size.
 * I've reported this issue to BYOND crew two times (October'14, then December). They know about the problem, but they don't really care.

Role-playing
Could the characters remember events of previous rounds?

Yes, but such events are not real. For the last weeks, characters have had weird nightmares about the Fortress - very believable and very cruel. Sometimes they (as the other inhabitants of these gloomy passages) had a completely different fate in those dreams. In an endless labyrinth of nightmares, they've killed and have been killed, betrayed and suffered - again and again; they saw monstrous things unfathomable by human minds, just to awake in a worse nightmare. The edge between a nightmare and reality erases completely in Ravenheart when it's discovered that several people saw the same dream, and several items from the illusion come to the real world - like the books in the library, which were written by the character in a dream.
