  We do not talk about the Take2 Scam often referred to as KSP2

  Is there some background reading on this? I’ve never played much KSP, so have no idea what would be bad about KSP2

    Long story short, Take2 botched it completely, ended up shutting down the dev studio behind it, and sold off the IPR. And it’s still for sale on steam as “Early Access” despite no development having been made for the past year.

    I recommend looking up ShadowZone on YouTube, as he has a few pretty good videos on what happened, both publicly and behind the scenes.

  Interesting that there is a successor to KSP.

  But, do I really want to spend another hundreds hours of life trying to recover a lost Kerbal on Duna?

    You know you do. And even more, because it’s gonna be a cute kitty!

  There only “website” is the publishers, there is zero information, they have a barely functioning wiki, they do not plan on a stream release, and the only way to get other information is by joining a discord. Not sounding very promising in comparison to KSP1

    It’s still very early in development, so there isn’t much info beyond the occasional show-and-tell. No need to waste time setting up a website when it only contains info that is likely to change.

    From the looks of it, they don’t focus on PR yet because they want to have something to allow players to test before they actually start looking at contributions. “The proof is in the eating, not in the pudding”.

    In the most recent townhall they did there was a question whether the townhall would become a recurring thing to which they basically said “when we have something to show, we’ll show it.”

    Some nuggets can be seen from time to time on the discord, but the fact of the matter is that setting up the core foundation onto which game mechanics can be later doesn’t result much PR worthy content.

      The fact that when you click on their website it just directly links you to discord is my issue. I don’t want to sit in a chat and listen to others talk about the game, I just want to look and admire on a store front.

      Also no steam no go for me pretty much as simple as that
