KSP lore?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I wanted to know if Kerbal Space Program could've had a lore, or some kind or story that players had to piece together as the explore the kerbol system.

I know that there are many easter eggs hinting to the possibility of a story but I just wanted to know if squad wanted to make a story out of KSP.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this subject. :D

In days past, I believe the word handed down from above was that Squad had no interest in creating official canon for the game.  I think the concern was that players would feel railroaded in how to view the game. 

This left canon and back story up to the player's the themselves, which a lot of it can be found in the fanworks forum....

I've always described Kerbals as a species of cave sludge that accidentally gained intelligence, who have since grown into a spacefaring species that spends most of their time building rockets and scribbling their names into dirt with sticks. 

Oh and that they may have originally come from Duna before it died.

One of the devs, at one time, had a plan linking the easter eggs together.  It's in the far past, and it's not going to happen.  There's been a few threads on it over the years.

how about an ARG that requires us to explore the system and finding more clues through the internet before a major update announcement?

We had that.  It was called Maxmaps, and it was annoying as hell to have to go on reddit/twitter/the forum/wherever else and piece together the information he was leaking in various places.  Let's not go back to that crap, please.

 

 

As for an established background/story/lore, whatever you want to call it, no thank you.  As far as I am concerned, KSP already has a story, and it's different in every save, because I get to write the story myself.  I'd rather have that than to be stuck constantly replaying one person's version of what they think KSP should be.

Sandbox games like KSP usually aren't supposed to have lores and stories behind them, they can have a lore, but they usually don't. Its harder to tell a story in a sandbox game, than in a adventure game. The lore and story of KSP is something the fans can make and figure out.

i would love to see lore on ksp

i mostly see all games with no lore to be boring because there wasnt much of an objective

 

But that's the magic of KSP...

The game literally can have what ever objective you set before yourself. I've threatened to do a thread of game objectives for the sandbox mode which would describe a series of short term and long term missions one could do. And the good thing is there would be, because of the expandability of KSP through mods, more than one way to complete nearly every style of mission.

And if you want lore, there are tons of fan fic stories surrounding KSP which you could use as a guideline.

Again, this game can have whatever objective you can imagine. And if you need some ideas, let me know. I will drop a few in this thread... :)

Not only is it not going to happen, but apparently any time it's brought up now, the former developer that came up with it gets irritated and unhappy.

the game could have 4 modes :

3 being the  estándar ones and the last one being story mode and maybe when you complete the story you have some freeroam
