Quite excited to see where this goes.

I read somewhere thst private division was bought by a private equity company and then later resold again to the guys that made outer wilds and such but it also could be bogus id take it with a grain of salt

Probably a silly question but why don't they just rename it KSP2 and give us the sequel we never actually got? They're halfway there already. And at least now they wouldn't have the suits at Take Two interfering. KSP2 should be an indie game, just like its predecessor.

They should call it Kute Space Agency with all kinds of cute animals, like Pug puppies.

ty for not doing a long drawn out history lesson on ksp. you got to the point

I wasn't sure about the kittens at first, but it's really grown on me.

The buyer is Haveli Investments, inc. They have also hired the devs who used to work at Annapurna games (the people who brought us 'Stray' amongst other things). Nobody quite knows whether the dev team they've hired is working on Kerbal Space Program 2, but it seems like if they want their ownership of KSP2 to result in any monetary value they would need to actually produce the game.

I hope they're like that cat from Red Dwarf. 🤣

The buyer has been revealed to be a Private Equity firm, which is known to be a death sentence for the IP. They'll be looking to wring out whatever profit they can from Kerbal 2 & the other games they picked up.

We do know who bought it though. Its been known since January 8th Haveli Investments

I'm excited to see this when early access is released. Take Two's unreasonable restrictions made KSP2 fail, and I'm glad to see those who actually care about the project are in charge.

Chimps. It is only fair. They were the first astronauts.

I like the kitten concept more than Kerbals. I believe peeps would easily warm up to it in the long run. I do like the kittens vs puppies space program that some are mentioning. Deep thought: I can totally get behind a cat building a spaceship if you put his food bowl on the moon. A dog would just settle for its own poop and still be happy pup.

I thought it was released who purchased it.

I dunno about the probes, not really a cat person. Now if it were the puppy space agency I'd be doing math and shit to make absolutely sure every manned (puppied?) mission went perfectly

Can we have a reptile cosmonaut?

Not an animal, but a biological species.

oooh nice to know that my stationeers expanses do actually help fund KSA

Wonder if they will add lore

Imagine KSA devs being the unknown buyer and this replacing KSP2 once it's ready.

Literally nothing matters apart from the aerodynamics and physics engine. So just be wary of the focus being too much on graphics and concepts. I know you don't want to hear it, but it could be a red flag. Learn from KSP2.

Take my money, KSA ppl

Wasn't there KSP 2 news just a few days ago? Something about a new publisher helmed by former Annapurna Interactive employees.

Cool!

If they go full kitten (and why not) I hope they vary the kitten looks. A siamese, sphynx, short-hair, stubby nosed-cats, and huge ones like Maine Coone/Siberian cats. Granted it's "Kitten" not "Cats" but it would be nice if you had a couple different body types and extravagant faces. This game has me more excited than KSP2 ever did. Now if I can just have constant acceleration while not staring at my ship to do my 90-135minute burn on my 3 ion engine 700 parts monstrosity (hey, 20k dV has a price, especially when 1 in-game second is now 2-3 real seconds !!!) that would be perfect. Especially end-game when I usually go big. Can't wait for this, I hope they deliver the ship building experience to match old KSP1, but regardless, this seems quite promising.

Your ksp 2 info is quite outdated

It wasn't abandoned by the developers, Take 2 killed the studio.

One way to make it more of a game with challenges is to have a 2nd race on the planet - Puppies! That way it's a space race between Kittens and Puppies!

This definitely is looking to have some amazing visuals and hopefully the physics are being equally well done. I can live with potato graphics if the physics and gameplay are good!

This is the first video where I inform myself about KSA. I have no clue of it except some dudes got together and decided to launch kittens to space. And that the planets look better than the ones in KSP 2.

I wonder if this game will be on ps5 and Xbox series x/s

I just want the characters to have human weight and dimensions. I do not really care what they look like otherwise. I want my rockets to have real world size and ISP and scaling everything down because kittens like how KSP did it is no fun

Cats got 9 lives, what's 3 crashes and 4 RUD's lol

your news is out of date. KSP2 was sold to a venture capitalist to strip the copper out of the walls, and declare bankruptcy on whatever's left over.

I guess I don't really care if the characters are kittens... but, maybe it would be nice (since it seems they are using real planet names (earth, mars... etc... ) to make the characters human looking instead?

I dislike the kitten idea, because kitten kind of "funny behaviour" does not align well with the humour a game hoping to succeed KSP can provide. Kerbals' brand of humour was built from zero, so it was funny to see them hurtling to their demise and engineer futuristic yet absolutely abysmally planned crafts. For cats and kittens what's funny is not seeing them in mortal danger or not being that good of engineers, so trying to translate "cat funnies" into "spaceflight funnies" is imo a needlessly difficult endeavour.

Ksp unknown buyer is known. Ex anapurna's devs

If they're going to stick with kittens, they should have a puppy USSR-like faction, maybe even some red squirrel Operation Paperclip characters.

You missed the release of the first in-game screenshots of a spaceship by a day.

If it were me, I would put the work into the engine to support mulitplayer but not focus on it for the game itself. They could then put it out later as an update or let a modder do the work as a Use at Your Own Risk add on. Plus this would make the engine itself a potential money maker for license to other studios.

KSP 2: *fails* KSP fans: "fine, I'll do it myself"

Gerbil Space Program would have been better

Oops, I already have Stationeers. I guess I'll have to buy it again with all the DLC's ;)

I'm really sorry but I'm holding my excitement until there is a playable beta.

I want a better gravity simulation than patched conics. I want real Lagrange points.

I do hope they go with Kittens because the concept art were great and the mascots were adorable, it'd be a great marketing strategy too to play as cat astronauts instead of weird green aliens like the kerbals were

I don't trust Dean Hall's involvement in this. He's known for launching several game projects and abandoning them before they're done (DayZ standalone, Ion, arguably Stationeers as well). This feels like another Ion to me.

I see it like this in regards to kittens. I didn't like the kerbals all that much at first, I was playing for the game and going to space, but now I absolutely love them. If they had tried making humans they probably wouldn't looked weird, but the kerbals fit the style of the game "purrfectly". If the kittens are the same here I am excited.

I like the idea of having badgers. Badger Space Program sounds really cool and could have a cool black and yellow color scheme which fits space well.

Kittens are USA Dogs are USSR Would make cool game mode
