Kerbal Space Program In The News

[Kerbal Nauts]

Dallas News:

In honor of Neil Armstrong, here are some great video games set in space (including the first game ever)

Kerbal Space Program: This one isn’t for everybody, and don’t be fooled by its cute presentation. Kerbal Space Program is still in development, but you can play the beta version. It’s a simulation game that tasks you with building and launching a rocket, hopefully landing on one of the moons orbiting your planet. It’s a challenging work in progress with the option for a lot of user modification. An old version of the game is available as a free download, which serves as a sort of demo for the $18 full version.

they blatantly forgot to mention how fun it is

They didn't say a whole lot about it, just that you build rockets and it's hard.

When was the last time that you heard of an indie game being broadcasted in the news though? I think KSP is going to the stars, along with squad. They have really ignited something here. (All puns intended)

As it develops i can see KSP becoming extreamly popular. Everyone I turn on turn on to the game love it. The biggest turn offs are usually lack of planets to visit and steep learning curve (both of which will likely be fixed in .17). However most people (I know) understand the concept of WIP development and instead see the games immence potental. Hopeflly enough Kerbanaughts spread the word and KSP will become a smash mainstream sucsess! (which it totally has the potental for)

Also KSP can really inspire people about space and can be used as a learning tool! Most the most ive learned about orbital mechanics and menuvers i learned playing KSP!
