We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming, stay tuned for a dev post about the 0.23 highlights soon. Also fixed a few small details here and there with R&D, upgraded the build servers to use Unity v4.2.2, and added a new dev tool that lets us bypass the main menu when we’re testing, which should make life a lot easier for us. I’ve also been going over all the feedback we’re getting on the R&D systems, and I’m very happy to see such a warm response from everyone about it. We certainly have a few tweaks still to make, but for a first-time implementation, this was far beyond even our most optimistic expectations. <br /> <li><b>Rob (N3X15):</b> Set up a test instance of Spaceport 2 for everyone else to play with. Still a lot to do, but fixed a few bugs and incompatibilities. Development on hold pending approval of some things by management. Otherwise, the usual fixing of issues and making sure the servers didn’t implode with 0.22.<br /> <li><b>Chad(C7):</b> Worked with Felipe and Mike on planning the implementation of 0.23 this week. I’m also testing Unity 4.2.2 as an upgrade to the base engine of KSP, and working with the QA team to resolve any issues or regressions there.<br /> <li><b>Alex (aLeXmOrA):</b> DevHrMx conference in Mexico City last Friday, fixing some Launcher bugs and issues with the new CDN implementation for downloads.<br /> <li><b>Daniel (DanRosas):</b> Vacation time.<br /> <li><b>Mike (Mu):</b> We’ve been planning the next update and I’ve been putting finishing touches to the performance enhancement branch. Implemented yet more speed boosts to a variety of systems.<br /> <li><b>Marco (Samsonart):</b> Once the update was out it was mainly teaching people how to update, explaining the principles of career mode to those who didn’t get it and of course get ready for the DevHr conference we had on Friday.<br /> <li><b>Miguel (Maxmaps):</b> After a small celebration with the release of 0.22, it's back to contacting people and letting them know about KSP. Had a blast at the DevHR conference down here in Mexico City. Video’s up for that but it’s in Spanish. <br /> <li><b>Bob (Calisker):</b> While last week was getting everything ready for update 0.22 launch, this week is about trying to make sure people know what the update is about and setting up some Let’s Play videos and streams so both old and new players are getting their chance to experience the first iteration of Career Mode. </ul></td> </tr> <tr class="cms_table_tr"> <td class="cms_table_td"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr class="cms_table_tr"> <td class="cms_table_td"><b>Through The Telescope</b><br /><br />We have some very talented people playing KSP.

Huzzah! Not sure how to feel about it though, because on one hand, it does means we’ve made some form of progress, on the other, we now have a categorized list of everything we still have left to do, and it’s getting mighty big. In any case, work continues at a frantic pace to get everything lined up and ready to go. This week’s been largely about correcting issues and tweaking the design of the tech tree and the new gameplay aspects. I’ve also fixed a number of other issues which created possible exploits to gain “easy†science. We’re gradually dialing in the way the game lets you earn your science, and it’s been a new and interesting challenge to tackle. I think it’s coming together very nicely though. <br /> <li><b>Rob (N3X15):</b> Debugging issues with the patcher for experimentals. Also working on subpages for Spaceport addons (screenshots, documentation, files, etc).<br /> <li><b>Jim (Romfarer):</b> I’m doing the usual experimental phase stuff. Polish and fixing bugs.<br /> <li><b>Chad(C7):</b> I’ve been working hard on testing and polishing up some areas of 0.22. We’ve started experimentals, which is pretty exciting indeed! It’s been a lot of fun to test the game with all the pieces finally coming together. I’ll be back at the bug fixing this week. <br /> <li><b>Alex (aLeXmOrA):</b> Still working on the CDN implementation for game file downloads.<br /> <li><b>Daniel (DanRosas):</b> Tried to use Irradiance Particles instead of Final Gather in the render. Turned out it was a problem, since Kerbals are low poly, and that got in the way of the way light was calculated in the scene. Right now I’m juggling between renders, light setup and polishing animation.<br /> <li><b>Mike (Mu):</b> I’ve been sick the past week so been enduring and recovering. In other news i’ve been fixing bugs.<br /> <li><b>Ted (Ted):</b> Find all the bugs! We've hit Experimentals this week with the 0.22 update, so it's been very busy here co-ordinating that and ensuring that the Testers have what they need to be breaking features and finding issues. Also had an interview with the Squadcast Team on Friday for KSP-TV, which I really enjoyed. <br /> <li><b>Miguel (Maxmaps):</b> Event planning. DevHR down here in lovely Mexico City on October 18. Afterwards, KSP centric plans with Bob; no we’re still not quite ready to talk to you guys about it. <br /> <li><b>Bob (Calisker):</b> Time to get ready for 0.22 update and all that comes with it. Hoping we have some pretty pictures to share with media, as well as details.

Hey guys! I’m here to inform you about the crazy con week we’ve got ahead of us here on the KSP Team. First off, developers Felipe Falanghe (Harvester) and Mike Geelan (Mu) are flying off to Vancouver for Unite 2013, ready to give a presentation at 3:00 PM on August 29th; How Hard Can Rocket Science be, Anyway?: Building a new universe in Kerbal Space Program. Fellow Unity game devs and all sorts of people from the gaming industry are welcome to seek out these Kerbal representatives (I assure you, they come in peace) to join us in the enjoyment of this celebration of the indie game industry and are welcome to join us in our talk. What’s that? Game development not your thing? Don’t know much about Unity other than the fact that it made Kerbal Space Program possible? Well don’t worry, because in the KSP tradition of multiple, quick succession launches, immediately afterwards we’re strapping Harvester to an SRB and it’s across the US border he goes, straight into Seattle for PAX Prime. Waiting for him at the landing site will be fellow Squad developer Chad Jenkins (C7) and part of the Squad PR team, Bob Holtzman (Calisker). Here we’re dealing with a schedule so tightly packed and impossibly fast-paced with a cascade of interviews, media events, a panel and even a tournament, Jeb himself was asking us to slow down. We blast off with a wave of interviews and media meetings, through which we’ll not only go deep into the history, makings and future of Kerbal Space Program, but we’ll be showing an exclusive, never before seen preview of update 0.22, including the Research & Development system among many other things. On Friday the 30th our team jumps into the PC FreePlay Area at 6:00 PM for the very first Kerbal Space Program Tournament! Observing, judging and eventually awarding an awesome Kerbal figurine for those in first, second or third place!. Tournament over, it’s immediately followed by two more days of meeting with press, interview giving and fan greeting all over PAX Prime, up to the last day of the event, Monday the 2nd for our pièce de résistance, an awesome panel at the Pegasus Theatre, at 11:00 AM. This time, we’re joined by DayZ developers Dean Hall and Matt Lightfoot for our joint panel: The Benefits of Players Writing Their Own Stories In Games, A discussion around a player created storyline and it’s benefits on both single player games and multiplayer games. All and all a fantastic week, and we hope we’ll have your interest and support for both events! If you are at PAX Prime and see the team, say hello and they might even have something fun for you to take home with you too!
