minus-squareByteJunk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·edit-21 day agoI never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure. I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.
minus-squareAwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 day agoName recognition sells stuff. Somebody who loved KSP 1 will probably give KSP 3 a go, at least to a greater probability than an unrelated game in the same genre.
minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 hours agoDean Hall and RocketWorkz of uh DayZ fame/infamy… are working on Kitten Space Agency… I dunno, maybe they could pull it off? Dean’s track record is really hit and miss imo, but hey, at least they actually give a damn and try, often with pretty bold / niche concepts.

minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 day agolol, RIP Jebs 1 - 48395. But uh yeah, the… the lore is basically: We made some cute little dudes and dudettes that are… possibly animated, sapient fungi? Or something? Anyway they are sm0l and live in sm0l solar system. And they have a space program. And most of the characters are just obvious cutesy knock offs of famous humans in spaceflight. Woo! lol
