It is pre-alpha though so I expect they'll improve it... Are you familiar with a game called Kerbal Space Program? It's very similar to what you're showing. It's pre-alpha graphics were similarly lacking and the expectation was that the virtual worlds would improve with leaps and bounds once the game got out of Alpha. Just sayin'...

Teek Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 19 hours ago, Brikoleur said: That ship has sailed, I'm afraid. The dented-fuel-drum junkyard aesthetic is gone already. Reveal hidden contents Personally I was never a fan, but I can see why someone else would miss it, as it does have personality and is consistent with the kerbal-ness of kerbals. Ha, yeah, that art style is pretty much out of KSP 1 already. Personally, I’ve always liked sleeker, more modern styles, but I do sometimes miss the Franken-ships. However, it looks like skinning options will be more extensive in KSP, so I’m kind of hoping they could work them into the progression system so how. In early game, you are limited to having more old school, disjointed textures, while later on you have the option to use more unified styles. That, or just make them as another alternate skin type available at all times. Alternatively, I think it could be fun if janky old skins (but cleaned up for current tech, of course) as a skin exclusive to players of the first game or members of the forum, though that might get a bit complicated and probably wouldn’t go over well with everyone...

Seriously. couldn't they just have given us a liquid core NTR? Conceptually sounds similar to the Hellas impact basin on Mars... the only place on mars where the pressure gets above the triple point of water, and pure liquid water could exist (but the temperature range between boiling and freezing is very narrow, and it would still evaporate anyway. I'm sorry, but that looks a bit over the top, I don't really like it. THe planet looked cooler from the other view where we don't see that. I'd reduce its surface area by 50%. Yea, after seeing that crater, I agree. Agree the crater is a bit over the top, idea is great but its a bit large, 50-60% of the size would look better I think. It looks like its an chaotic terrain on the other side, think Mun poles, this is realistic as the shock will pass trough the planet, Hellas crater cause this on Mars. And yes you could make the crater deep so you get denser air. It need an island in the center however. And agree on metallic hydrogen, think they are too far in the design process to change it.

RealKerbal3x Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Wow! These are looking fantastic! Regarding the aesthetics of the parts, I really like them. I never did like the junkyard look many of the parts had until recently - just because Kerbals look goofy, and failing is a big part of the game, doesn't mean that the ships should look poorly built. The Kerbals aren't idiots. The planet textures look a little basic right now but since this is pre-alpha I expect them to change, especially because the new development studio apparently has access to all of the resources of KSP1 - presumably this includes the planet revamps that SQUAD have been doing.

Wjolcz Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) I really like the colour schemes but I'm not a fan of all the clunky KSP 1 parts (landing legs and batteries sticking out). I always try to do my best to hide them with minimum clipping. The style is still all over the place after all these years. On 3/1/2020 at 1:50 AM, XLjedi said: The parts look great... but they seem to be losing their "Kerbalness" quality. I don't know if that's good or bad yet. The "Kerbalness" is a horrible thing that's been haunting and hurting this game for years now. Edited March 4, 2020 by Wjolcz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is the clunkiness and kerbalness emerged out of the way the game was developed. In the beginning, there were just a couple of people who were mostly doing coding, not modelling. There's (somewhere on this forum) a quote by one of the main graphic designers who pretty much came up with the 'kerbal' look and he said he hated it because, as any artist will tell you, the art style evolves and becomes more and more sophisticated. And his parts were pretty much one of the first steps to becoming better at making models (which he did achieve but was no longer a part of the dev team).
