      Hopefully its something they can prepare for while working on the core game, so that it isn't too difficult to add in later once the core game is closer to completion. Their BRUTAL framework seems to give them a lot of control.

      I hope (and believe) that RocketWerkz are focusing on the fundamental infrastructure before building out the game. Obviously that includes Celestial Mechanics, but I think it should also include the Modding System (ie; every feature is a Mod), the Component Interactions (how the various parts relate to each other in terms of communicating forces, but also thermal, fuel, control lines, etc), and Multi-Player (the propagation of State between multiple systems). Getting Multi-Player working should be (simply {??}) a case of developing a robust state propagation system. Once this is in place and integrated into the Components system, adding new functionality should not require enormous effort to support Multi-Player. It is critical that these integrated systems be established as early as possible because it will dictate what can be done performantly, so the SP version doesn't go down a path that the MP version can't follow.

      @SpunieBard as said, thats the entire problem of it, its really not how it works. Many games that tried to add multiplayer after the fact failed, had unimaginable costs redeveloping features and the most basic elements of the game because the infrastructure didn't allow it. It's like building a bike for one person and later try to upgrade that to a family version vehicle for 4 people. Its more difficult to do at the start, but near impossible after thing was planed as a bike.

    As a game developer, I believe your point on multiplayer is somewhat misguided. Creating a multiplayer game requires significantly more effort than a single player one, adding multiplayer to a single player framework is almost impossible without redoing a large majority of the codebase, never mind the added complexity induced by custom vehicles, orbital mechanics, and time manipulation. They need to either build for multiplayer now, or not do multiplayer at all, because the alternative would be too costly.
    Edit:I saw other people echo this sentiment.

    on the fence about multiplayer, on one hand, it could be great fun to play with a small group, on the other hand, multiplayer is not the easiest to implement if they dont have the know how and is not willing to put in the effort, which is costly and time consuming, whichever they decide, for it to be properly done it has to be done early in development adn not just slapped on as a afterthought after release.

  • @innomin8251

    The issue is that if you want it to have multiplayer _ever_ then you need to design for it from day one.
    I agree there’s no need for it though. Space is too big to not have time acceleration, and there’s just no good answer to time acceleration with multiplayer.
    What I’d rather see is is a RP-1 style system for competitive gaming. Compete on how fast you can unlock milestones in a career play thru when everything takes time to construct and you can’t just launch 1000 ton rockets one after another without that construction time.

    If you want to write efficient net code, it's best to do so alongside the regular development of the game, from the get-go. Trying to add it later on while continuing to develop the game will just incur huge technical debt that keeps building up. I'm no fan of online play either, but I can appreciate that they're trying to do this the right way.

  • @HL65536
    @HL65536 8 дней назад

    The thing about feature creep, premature optimization, early multiplayer integration is: You actually have 3 choices: a) ignore the feature/optimizations and focus entirely on the current task (that's what KSP2 did) with the problem that adding it later is not really possible; b) full integration from the start, early optimizations etc. which will result in a good product but long development time and it's expensive; c) the middle ground I think should be used for any game in development: make absolutely sure that your design&architecture does not conflict with anything you want to add/optimize in the future, even if you don't know if you will do it yet. This is orders of magnitude less work (and therefore cheaper), while still not maneuvering the project into a corner that would require a restart from scratch to add something (with the "alternative" being implementing it poorly/laggy/buggy)
    This approach however requires a lot of skill, which nobody in either of the 2 KSPs development teams had.

    If they got the Kerbal IP for cheap, the best way to include it would be as an explorable lore drop. Maybe include the Kerbal solar system as an end-game achievement to find and explore, with the remains of the Kerbal Rocket center sitting there. Of course, the might be able to do that anyway, just not include the names and Kerbal images.

    I really liked the gameplay that the KSP 2 team was making for the game. It reminded me a lot of the space game I played in my childhood Spore. Searching planets for resources to establish bases and progress in your technology is really fun. KSP 1 did it in a way that I don't really find all too appealing, so I'd rather wait for another thing than mod the original, I don't enjoy modding anyway. As for multiplayer, I don't usually like playing games solo pretty much ever unless it's a game with an active secret-hunt.

    • @GIRGHGH

  • @therealduckshow
    @therealduckshow 8 дней назад

    The tricky thing about multiplayer is that it's really hard to add after-the-fact, because you have to re-structure everything to take it into account. Even if they decide to add multiplayer later, they would have to build the game as if it had multiplayer. They would save some development effort, but it would still add a ton compared to skipping it out-right. Seeing how multiplayer in a game with timewarp is already extremely complex, I would much rather they skipped it completely and spent those man-hours on other features.

  • @Widestone001
    @Widestone001 8 дней назад

    KSA is made by original KSP devs - so they're basing themselves on the wildly successful KSP, not the failed one.
    And I hope that they'll do it similarly: Launch into EA once they have enough parts to make rockets that can get into orbit and bring probes to the moon and maybe even other planets which can then land successfully. Add in all the rest over time, until they feel that it's a full game and go into 1.0 full release.
    "can" is the working term here: I foresee myself exploding on the pad a few times before I make the first hops that ends in a crash. That's how I learned in KSP and it was a total blast! 😀 It made the first landing on mun that much more rewarding.

    so I wouldn't be surprised if you'll be able to play this on a normal laptop at 30 fps
    I want to add tho that the devs have said that the fps at this stage of development basically means nothing, there are countless optimisations to be made yet and they haven't even implemented crafts yet as far as i know, and if you remember ksp, its achillies heel was big rockets, so we haven't even gotten to the bad part yet
    the success of KSA will lay in its ability to launch HUGE rockets without lag

    Concerning multi-player it is important what you want to do with it. I can only imagine a dogfight or building on a station or base together. Doing a space race gives little interaction and for that I prefer time warp over multi-player. In the latter case even exchanging safe files is enough.

    imho multiplayer would need to be *designed* in at the beginning, but implementation could wait. As long as the MP infrastructure exists (complete with software tests), that'd limit future problems.

    IF they make a multiplayer they will have to make new mechanics that can be comlpeted better (or faster) with multipule people.

    I think your opinion is wrong on the multiplayer part (IMO).
    if they want multiplayer in the game at any point they will have to have that built from the start.
    These developers have created multiple multiplayer games before, so I think they could transfer most of that core work into this easily.
    The main problem with multiplayer is not timewarp or any of that. Its the reference frames, and syncing that all back up. this is the main reason why you have to build it from the start, its a bigger pain in the ass if you dont.

    I just don’t think it needs multiplayer tbh. Concentrate on making a great single player experience with modding options. Kerbals are irrelevant to me. I’d fly goldfish around if the game is good! Really looking forward to this.

    I don't care about multiplayer for a kerbal like game.
    I care much about colonies, interstellar travels, more parts to build vessels, orbital stations, bases, and a mod with food, water and air management.

      P.S. and the possibility to build a "space center" on any planet or moon with materials we could mine our self.
      This would be a nice thing to give a purpose to missions out of collecting science.

    Now if it also would have mods that does not need compiling. Would be so much easier to maintain mods, even fix some yourself if an update broke it. Compiled mods was imho a huge pain point in KSP.

    Definitely looking forward to see where KSA goes.
    Multiplayer though looks to me like a trap. Because how would you implement that? I think promising multiplayer was one of the biggest mistakes made by KSP2. Players speed up time by several hundreds of thousands of times to reach a planet. Imagine taking off and someone warps time to go to Duna in the middle of it. Every solution to it I've seen is also imperfect at best.

  • @lajoswinkler

    The developers are making the same mistake again, which will force us to use another "Distant object enhancement" mod - the stars should not be seen in any scene where there is something lit by daylight. Space is a dark, scary void and that fact creates a lot of gaming immersion.

  • @richjageman3976
    @richjageman3976 9 дней назад +2

    Multiplayer will be difficult with time warp. Maybe a competition to accomplish something within certain game time allowed. I like the Kerbals but if they are Kittens that might be even better.

    • @hotmailcompany52
      @hotmailcompany52 7 дней назад

      Theres been a few ideas. I vaguely remeber for a KSP multiplayer mod it would time warp locally and then you could resync up to servertime once you're in your target sphere of influence. Or it could be a vote tied into some sort of alarm clock system pulling info from the trajectory and manover nodes (or equievelant). Then there's the simple idea of just basic yes no voting.

  • @kasuha
    @kasuha 9 дней назад

    My gripe with original KSP was never in the graphics. It was faulty orbital mechanics and bad performance on ships with many parts. So smooth transitions between orbit and terrain and atmospheric scattering leave me unimpressed, visual candy is what we got from KSP2 the most of. Sure, it's imporatant part of the game too but only after the rest works well enough to let the player appreciate the beauty.

    As much as I'd like to see the Kerbal IP continue, the fact is it would not be a good idea. Players in general would feel that they should get this new game 'free' since KSP 2 imploded, etc.
    And I don't see how they could get around it. Sadly, unless someone is willing to 'make good' and give away the next KSP, the name is just going to be a negative. So sad.

    Regarding Multi-player, you either work on it from the beginning, or you don't work on it at all. This is absolutely not the kind of feature you can bolt to a game engine after the fact. The KSP community is really interested in this way of playing, so the KSA devs must take this into account for the future success of the game. Better to work on it right now then.

  • @armanuki38911
    @armanuki38911 10 дней назад

    Buying the Kerbal IP: No, because most people don't follow the news around the game in detail, would confuse it with KSP2 and therefore not like it. What should happen with all the sold KSP2 EA copies? This is Take Two/Intercept/Secret Buyer's problem at it should remain like that. The value of the KSP brand is probably below 0 at the moment.
    Multiplayer: Can only happen, if the game is built around it from the start - far too complicated to add later. I agree that multiplayer is probably not worth it, it would make development very complicated and it is not really needed for a KSP game. Also time warp would be a big problem.

    We don't *need* Kerbals. We need a fun game. Kerbals were a means, not the goal. Kittens would do just fine too. I also honestly don't want multiplayer. I want to explore the planets and, ideally, the stars. Multiplayer delays that.

  • @handy-capoutdoors4063
    @handy-capoutdoors4063 8 дней назад

    You dis on multi-player saying it should be left as an add on later. Unfortunately to properly incorporate multi-player capability the game has to have it as part of their base coding. Otherwise the added strain of a second almost full game add on to make it multi-player would balloon the cost and time needed later. That is one big reason ksp2 failed. Because they used the single player base program and tried to Jerry rig a multi-player to it.
    If you start with a multi-player optimized engine then lock up the multi-player capability to the public while the game can release working single player content while beta testing a second multi-player content until the full game is ready then multi-player can be unlocked when it is ready...

    It not worth buying the game name brand. It total waste of money. We need to let got. There are spin off base on games. So what the point if there shady deals. I hate traps and strange request and bullying. Just work on the game which will save cost. You get bankrupt instead of helping but hinder develop. Just make the game that it. Example factorio and someone name it base on their to satisfactory. We must have vary name to make it more interesting.

    If the KSA developers don't understand what made KSP great, then they are doomed to fail just like KSP2.
    Be wary when developers push fancy graphics, effects, math models and other crap on you.
    The game needs meat and bones, not just skin.

  • @waylander1963
    @waylander1963 11 дней назад +1

    Multiplayer not a priority IMHO. Let's have a solid KSP-like foundation with most of the QOL mods already implemented into the base. Once you have a proven, working base, they can plan DLC for multiplanetary, multiplayer and whatever.
    Let's remind we are amateur rocket scientists and we want to send rockets around in the most realistic way ;-)

    We have a great single player space exploration game. It's called KSP1. We don't have a good multiplayer space exploration game.
    Minecraft is one of the largest and most popular game in the world because it's multiplayer, not despite it. Multiplayer let's people bring their friends and teach them to play. You don't need tutorials when a friend is inviting you to share their world.

    They should absolutely NOT buy the IP. Unless its free, its not worth the effort. T2 destroyed the IP while also making it more expensive. KSP multiplayer is dumb, my opinion, to me its always been a single player game.
