Topic: Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator

Nerdiest game ever?

Artemis is a multiplayer, multi-computer networked game for Windows computers.

Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the "main screen", while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Engineering, and Weapon Control.

Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room ("bridge") , and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle, doesn't have a workstation, and tells everyone what to do.

Wow, that's pretty impressive.. In a nerdish way.

So some updates with this. First, they are working on iOS versions that can all hook up and talk cross platform with PC so it should be a bit easier to get a full bridge together. iPhone and iPads supported, apparently. Hopefully that releases before the next meet and maybe we can set it up for a game!

There is also this Kickstarter to build a bridge inside a trailer. There is no way they will reach that goal but the idea is pretty cool.
