Are you excited for Kitten Space Agency?

>>718487918 (OP)
Verily.

Cautiously optimistic.

Not until they release a demo

>>718487918 (OP)
Yes actually. It's just Kerbal but not broken.
I hope

>>718488334
They did a few days ago. its a tech demo but still a demo

So it's just Orbiter 2

>>718487918 (OP)
How much furshit/troonshit are we looking at? Never mind I already know

>round earth
>no firmament

>>718488408
The first one isnt broken

I know they're not doing green aliens to stay legally distinct from KSP but I'm not digging the kittens.

You're loss.

>>718489181
Get out. go to hell and never come.

>>718489181
>>718489276
A cat is fine too.

>>718488929
Should've gone with tardigrades

>>718488929
Im sure mods will fix it week one.

>>718490007
Someone is already modding in Kerbol and the game's not even out yet

>>718488447
Where's the download

>>718487918 (OP)
It's over

What is Kitten Space Agency? All I wanted is KSP2 with official near future tech (they even hired this modder lol).

>>718490153
Are you a professor, work for a space agency, or make quality KSP YouTube content?

>>718490879
>Are you an (((Influencer)))
fixed that 4 u

As always, you should ask yourself 'Why would I play this when X exists?', and the X here is KSP1

>sub 60fps without part physics or resources
it's over.

>>718491049
Stability. If they figure out how to let us make some thousands of part monstrosity without the game exploding then other parts being rougher would be excusable. That was really my biggest gripe about KSP. Having to time warp or switch to the space view to prevent my recently docked ship from tearing itself apart with wobbles got old fast.

>>718490448
ill take shitty fps as long as the load times arent as bad as modded ksp 1. i fuckin hate waiting like 2 minutes to return to the vab if my rocket explodes because i have a few gigamods

>>718487918 (OP)
My problem with this and with the idea of Kerbal 2 is that Kerbal 1 is a basically perfect and fully realized game in terms of concept and mechanics. It promised a game about exploring a solar system with realistic technology and delivered exactly that. There's plenty to refine and improve upon especially in regards to graphics, but if you try to push the scope further you're missing the point by making a scifi game, and if you try to add more mechanics you're left catering to tiny groups of autists who care about fuel mixtures and Lagrange orbits. It just seems like an exercise in futility.

>>718488408
but KSP1 + mods already exists
What is Dean actually doing that's new/better?
His last few games have been mid

>>718492243
KSP's progression was poorly executed and base building was never as great as it could be even with a million mods. Interstellar also needs to be a part of the base progression.

>>718493372
>Interstellar
Missing the point by turning the game into scifi.

>>718493470
It's not sci-fi though.

>>718492243
>missing the point by making a scifi game
But anon KSP is scifi game. KSP technologies are realistic as realistic interstellar travel technologies like photon sail. NTR doesn't exist.

Why are normalfags so obsessed with cats?

I'll wait for the inevitable Kerbal total conversion mod that will be taken down and shared clandestinely.
I won't play as toxogolems

>>718493538
Nuh uh.

>>718492243
>you're left catering to tiny groups of autists who care about fuel mixtures and Lagrange orbits
That's the core audience for KSP.

>>718493682
cat website

>>718488929
Yea, I'll feel kinda bad every time a kitten dies in a horrific spaceflight accident, but with kerbals it was funny.

>>718487918 (OP)
To say the game is barebones in it's current state is an understatement. Development seems to be going pretty fast but it will still take a couple of more years before it reaches feature parity with early KSP

>>718493618
>NTR doesn't exist
I wish that was true
