Hey now, they DID reinvent it. They somehow made it completely worse than the work done 10 years ago.

yall really pretending that ksp1 was perfect on launch and that its terrain systems were enough for ksp2 huh

@@mikkelens KSP1 was not perfect, it was ok. KSP2 was polishing for 3 additional years and it is horrible.

@mad_mexican9930 Жыл бұрын

@@mikkelens The problems KSP1 had stemmed from the fact that the original devs were learning how to Unity at the same time they were making the game, meaning they implemented a lot of solutions that were not optimal, creating issues that simply couldn't be solved without rewriting the entire game from scratch. With KSP2, however, a "professional" team looked at what KSP1 did, said "if broke, don't fix it" and tried cleaning it up and pushing it to it's limits. They failed in both accounts, meaning we not only have suboptimal solutions, but they are also so broken that the devs confirmed they are completely reworking one of them.

i wonder, when it was the last time, that the haters in the comments here, have actually engineered problems at the scale that these developers are facing. DID THEY EVER, EVEN? Bun the haters! You are doing amazing work Intercept!!!

Why don't you build a custom engine for this game since it relies on custom systems anyway?

@KapybaraKSP Жыл бұрын

not the same thing

@stuwustudio Жыл бұрын

Making custom engine because certain features don’t work out of the box is wasteful.

Making a full custom engine is much more difficult for an indie game studio

Don’t buy this game it’s rubbish, if the devs can’t deliver anything worth playing after a 3 year delay they never will

@RugerRino Жыл бұрын

I normally would agree but... KSP is one of my favorites it helps me dump all the normal bull in my head. Issues with the developers isn't an issue of if they can deliver but when they will. The game needs a lot of love but KSP did in the beginning as well this pre-release stuff is for the birds and they all know it.

Great! Pat on the back for a pos game. 😂 That little introduction video they played was from a bug riddled game demo they sold and marketed as “early access” for top dollar that still to this day isnt even capable of doing reentry heating which is a basic fundamental game mechanic. Yet here are a bunch of liberals saying “look how smart we are”. I invite them to look at the steam reviews. Last month less than 200 people, in the whole freaking world, were playing it! So, please tell me, how great you are again?
