A new solar system!
Possibly out in 2025!
I’m not sure KSP2, at least, needs to be “killed” at this point.
Here’s the latest progress on KSA, which is our KSP killer.
“The final step was a call [with] Private Division.
Obviously our studio wasn’t chosen.”
(I have fixed a couple of Hall’s typos here, because I am nice.)
A lot of it is tilted towards modders: there are a few modders on the KSA team.
Instead, they’re focusing on “solid datastructures” and “ease of development for modders”.
And yes, Hall says the game currently has kitten characters, though that may change.
“I think a certain amount of whimsy is important,” he notes.
One reachier goal is to add an n-body physics system.
It’s very hard to do this without dropping planets everywhere like balls of wool.
You might wonder what Kerbal Space Program rights holders Take-Two Interactive make of all this.
Are RocketWerkz concerned about getting sued for copyright theft or patent infringement?
Not at all,saysHall.
“They are welcome to try!
Would be some great publicity for us.
Also, I’m very bitter as I think they are a terrible company.
So bring it on!
We have great lawyers.”
