JoeSchmuckatelli Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I don't know what these are... But they're apparently new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechBFP Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Interesting. Looking good. Marketing campaign is clearly underway so that’s a very good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashandalar Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 None of the clips are new (they're all taken from the feature videos on the official KSP YouTube channel). I very much doubt that this is anything to do with official marketing. My guess is that "Docent is playing!" is just excited about the game, and edited the clips himself into YouTube shorts for his channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following official video has Kerbin from that video I saw as a short. I dont remember seeing it. 59 minutes ago, MechBFP said: Interesting. Looking good.

Just because the content being played isn't new doesn't mean it is isn't new marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Anyone can crop, clip a video and turn it into a short to get some views. The guy is apparently just some random Polish youtuber who started recording a year ago and gained a bunch of subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was real marketing the shorts would have been done on the official KSP youtube. I don't know why but I had this dumb idea that Docent might have been an actual developer. Pretty sure that's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTay Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Can't see the pics, but....This is supposedly feature video and release date week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aziz Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 How is this: https://youtu.be/p1_1Bcldjc4 Which is a video from a localized channel of the same guy, pointing in any way that it may be some sort of hidden official account? And Guerrilla did a wonderful marketing campaign by the way, all on their or Playstation profiles. I guess that's not what you meant but I had to include it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a few links off his about page that you posted including one to reddit. His posts on reddit seem to indicate that hes just a KSP player in the way hes interacting with the people. Hes appears to be quite helpful in the posts that I looked at which is interesting, but nothing points to him being part of the development of KSP1 or KSP2.

TLTay Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Had a chance to watch. It all appears to be from previous vids. Nothing really stands out as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is entirely possible too, like I said I'll withhold judgement for now. Right now all I have is a hunch to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Inventor Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Reddit user Docent_is_playing (Reddit account from his youtube channel) is a moderator of r/KerbalAcademy, so he doesn't seem to be a nobody in the community. The clips were from previous feature videos and not original. From what i've looked through his reddit account he seems like a nice and very helpful person.
