Devnote Tuesdays: The Back on Track Edition

[Horn Brain]

I'm so glad KSP finally found Jesus. They really nailed it with this hire. I'll be expecting miracles in 0.24.

<strong>Jim (Romfarer):</strong> This week i have had my computer science hat on and implemented graph algorithms to solve the “minimum cost maximum flow†optimization problem.

Ooh, sounds interesting, what for? RCS balancing? Something related to fuel flow? Estimating costs for contracts?

Hey Rowsdower, would it be possible for you to organise the new Squadites to give themselves a brief introduction via the media of their choice?

Once they're settled in

[Rowsdower]

No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to never know who they are!

Ok, awful joke aside, it's on the docket I'm thinking some appearances on Squadcast could be in order, or at the very least, a more thorough blog introduction. Either way, they'll get some time in the spotlight.

Maybe PM stands for Personal Masseuse?

Oh that's nasty. (if you don't get my reference, you have as much culture as a rock)

Just curious and no offence, is Jesus pronounced as in Jesus Christ or do they pronounce it "hey-zeus" as they do in Dirt 2 and 3?

I dont really understand why woudl they work on gameplay extensions like carreer mode, contracts etc while bacics of game are missing... like proper file system for example (not loading everything into ram) ... I thing last update code reworking optimalization was very good thing, and updates shoudl focus on such things... but well thats only my opinion, im sure they will stick to their vision and some fanbasecomplaining wont change that.

They pronounce it "hey-zeus," as it is quite a common name in the Hispanic world.

What happened to Bac9? he's listed as former squad member on the about page now, didn't see any announcement about this :\

Also why is http://http://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com completely unmentioned on the website? I only found it when asking where ksp weekly went on the IRC channel, it's confusing and no mention was made of it being moved there.

That's the forum, not the site, and frankly that's not exactly shouting it from the rooftops.

He left the team somewhere around release of 0.22

That's sad, he really pushed KSP's visuals forwards, I guess the re-sized SAS module "rapier" engine was a sign of his no longer being on the team.

There doomed they hired a Project manager more meetings and less stuff getting done

[colmo]

It's a shame they lost bac9 before he did the remaining cockpits! Still, churn is the norm in game development.

That reminded me of a NerdCubed video where Dan played Dirt 2 and when he was choosing his audio name he saw Jesus and thought it wasn't pronounced hey-zeus, his reaction was funny.
