Kerbal space program 2 beta11/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() > Generally when an artist (or creator of any sort) is paid royalties, it’s in lieu of wages, so you’re also shouldering risk if the project fails. Oops.īeing offered a bonus by your employer after six months of 80 hours/week crunch because the game sold well is not the same thing as either expecting royalties, nor having+eating cake. I saw people spend money they didn’t have, and then get smaller bonuses than they counted on. > Being paid a wage and also expecting royalties is wanting to have your cake and eat it too.Įxpecting royalties or bonuses is generally a bad idea in the “don’t count your chickens before they hatch” sort of way. Losing a job unexpectedly isn’t a downside? I really hope they won't do anything that would make this depth of modding impossible. I don't think there's another game where so much of such highly skilled effort was spent for free to make it deeper. And I mean it: among many things, mods give you many more realistic and unrealistic building blocks, life support management, communication networks including speed of light delay, trajectory planning, UI/UX improvements, graphics improvements, orbital assembly, working space telescopes, realistic aerodynamics model (including supersonic physics), n-body simulation and non-symmetric gravity fields. If KSP is a great game by itself, mods make it a literal order of magnitude better - a huge amount of solid fan work was done to expand every imaginable aspect of KSP. ![]() One thing though: I hope the modding capability and freedom won't be diminished. If the game will look a third as well as on the trailer visualization, I'll buy it without thinking (who am I lying to, I'll buy it anyway). I must say the new, "official", video does capture the atmosphere very well. Little context for the trailer: it seems to be a homage to this fan video:, which is one of the most well-known videos in the KSP community, and something people show to people to get them into playing this game. ![]()
