Let's push KSP!

Recommended Posts

I\'ve got a spankin new utube channel up, and have started a let\'s play series, on a laptop so it takes a little longer to upload vids, but once i get a nice rig, Oh man ill have vids flyin\' up faster than you can say Kerbal Space Program.

my plan also is to pay/donate for a second copy, in my eyes $30 is still a great deal for a game this great, especially considering most 60 dollar games are crap

at the moment i consider youtube a hobby, so i don\'t monetize my vids

however if i happen to become a youtube star, and with permission from a dev, i would monetize

and i would gladly donate anything i make from the vids,

i just feel more comfortable asking first rather than just doing

That has been asked somewhere and it is allowed to do that, but I can\'t find the thread.

My sister works at NASA\'s Goddard SFC as some kind of education specialist. I\'m going to contact her and see what she might be able to do in getting us the contacts we need to bring KSP to NASA\'s attention.

This I like very much. I also like the idea of KSP as an educational tool. Crimson_Pride14 mentioned that his old professor was interested in it for college students. I believe it would go even better with grade school. I Imagine a fifth grader might enjoy a KSP homework assignment. Having said that, I respect the idea that to many to soon can be a bad thing. This community is doing well, it has plenty of time to grow, and I\'m sure it will go viral at some point.

Personally KSP is my favorite right now, and will continue to reappear as my favorite as they add more and more. Yesterday I received the best compliment:

You, sir have inspired me to download/install KSP. I hope that I will have as much fun as I\'ve been thinking that this game is.

'What does it say...\'Danger: Kerosene Fuel\' ... oh, that\'s trouble'

That\'s my issue motto? now.

I? consider this to be the best compliment. Happy explosions, as you will soon see everything in KSP should say 'danger explodes on contact'. Be sure to head over to the forums, lots of good info/people there. My best advice... laugh, don\'t get frustrated and science!

Warning: I was pretty clueless in the early episodes, and compared to many here, I still am ???

On that topic, I was e-mailed a press release the other day about a 'Rocket Science 101' application from NASA that 'lets players build and launch a virtual rocket'. While it is nice that they are making the effort, I think it misses the mark. KSP\'s charm will be far more effective at getting people excited about space and space exploration! Any chance you could convey that to your sister?

I\'m trying to write about the game and anyone can help, to a science fiction almanac, by the name Anticipa?ia, which is 30 years old. It belongs to 'povestiri ?tiin?ifico-fantastice' (S.F. magazine), which first appeared in 1955. I must write (until 1 september 2012, if they approve by than) an article about sf pc games and i want to include KSP. If someone will help me, i will include their name/alias and their country.

The bigger it gets the more trolls will come here.

Be careful whats you wished for, the same happened to the MineCraft commnity.

But the Minecraft Community brings a lot of guys because the game itself : a giant sandbox where nothing is needed except imagination and creativity.

Here you need at least to have a passion for space and a minimum of knowledge about. So maybe one day there will be trolls, but not for long, trolling without any knowledge is hard... and annoying (for the troll).

I didn\'t really know where to post it, but a thread concerned with making KSP more popular, seemed as good as any: the new video on the start page can\'t be viewed from Europe (at least not from Germany), which isn\'t really good for promotion. Just thought I\'d mention it somewhere... perhaps someone could change the promo-vid?

Hello everyone,

I am the creator of Minecraft PSAs (for those of you who play the game) and have recently discovered this wonderful game. If you don\'t know who I am, here\'s my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/m1st3rm4n

I\'ve already done two livestreams featuring the game itself:

Coffee Break with Mr. Man! - Mr. Man\'s Space Initiative - Orbiting (Kerbal Space Program)

Coffee Break with Mr. Man! - Mr. Man\'s Space Initiative - Mun Landing (Kerbal Space Program)

I look forward to doing more videos about this game since the more I play it, the more fascinating it gets. Cheers!

This game needs to be on Steam. 8)

I agree with him. This game MUST be on Steam in order to get more exposure.

In an effort to help publicize KSP i\'ve started a YouTube Series which isn\'t uncommon but the more videos about KSP the better. I realize i am new here to the KSP forums so let me introduce myself. I go by the Screen name PD and my YouTube user name is xPDxTV. I have over 100 videos on YouTube and KSP has been a very welcome edition to my commentated series of games! If your at all interested in checking out my work just look up my YT username or go to www.youtube.com/xpdxtv .

Hope you all check it out and i\'ll continue to spread the good word about KSP by continuing to play for my current and future subscribers.

I have done a little to help KSP get more members. A few weeks ago, I got the right away from my teacher to show KSP to our class. I got a 10 minute window, and I used it the best I could. I brought 0.14 on a USB and created a space shuttle, and all that sweet stuff. At that time, I introduced 5 People to KSP. Not much, but better than nothing.

I work in a school and all I needed to do to promote this game to the kids was literally just be noticed playing it on my laptop at break time. I ended up with a half dozen kids clustered around my desk asking about it, I know several have since got it themselves.

I also produce youtube content and will be doing some KSP vids shortly.

I asked the cleverbot if he plays KSP ;P

By the way, do you play kerbal space program?

Cleverbot: No.

User: You should try it out.

Cleverbot: I have done it earlier, but not anymore.

User: Did you like it?

Cleverbot: Did I like what?

User: Kerbal space program?

Cleverbot: I don\'t know.

User: You said you\'ve played it.

Cleverbot: What I play.

He just forgets things too fast sometimes. He can\'t even remember my name after the 5th time telling him...

We can possibly have a one-week sale for 5.00? That could in a way really help out.

Not really. Selling more now, though, even when it gets to be 18.00 will help keep it low in the long-run, however. Time to go out and sell some lemonade!

yes you can monetize KSP videos HOWEVER... there is no thread that tackles this subject directly and to make sure you have permission you have to ASK SUPPORT!!!!! they got back to me within 24 hours saying I can do this and that also they were looking into having it written into the EULA so people wouldnt have to ask

Hey guys! So I just sent a 'tip' to joystiq about KSP since I noticed they\'ve never done an article about you guys. You should all do the same! Maybe if enough people do then we can get some attention from the gaming community :D

Also this is my first post and I wanted to say this game is awesome and I can\'t wait to see where it goes!
