RedderThanMisty Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Perhaps release a small demo of the game in the months leading up to release (or perhaps on the current release deadline if the game is to be delayed again). I guess the purpose of the demo would be similar to that of the original ksp's demo which was to give a basic understanding of the game's mechanics using a limited set of parts and celestial bodies. In the case of ksp 2's demo, it would have a similar function to the old demo, but with the addition of showing off some of the newer mechanics, graphics, etc. in a similar limited experience. P.s. Another suggestion that I didn't feel worth another post; release a proper gameplay video, similar to the style of "First hour of" where instead of showing a bunch of 5-10 second clips of fancy camera angles, make a video showing a few missions from career mode, such as from starting the career mode to first mun landing.

PlutoISaPlanet Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Career mode will not exist in KSP 2. Rather, adventure mode will take its place. As you achieve milestones in adventure mode, new parts and paths are opened on the tech tree. Also, a demo should ABSOLUTELY be released, especially on consoles. We need to be able to have the game running on our machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jastrone Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 looking at the latest show and tell it seems like the main gameplay is done and a demo would probably be possible right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we just know Adventure Mode will take the place of science and career mode. I don't recall any discussion giving many more details. As far as I remember we don't know if how the games tech tree will work nor know how finances will work or if they are even still in the game at all. I really hope that's not how tech tree advancement works though or else that would mean so far we're throwing out the need/use for science experiments without a replacement. 2 hours ago, jastrone said: looking at the latest show and tell it seems like the main gameplay is done and a demo would probably be possible right now We saw a ship on the launchpad explode... that is nowhere near demonstrating the gameplay is near complete.

BekfastDerp13 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I think 99% that they won't release a demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not playable yet, it's not like the devs are just finalizing artwork... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
