so, pewds made a video
dodger, cry, ken... seems they all made one. did squad buy the entire polaris crew?
Moar videos?
cool, I'll have to check that.
The Dodger one was pretty random but fun anyway...
-
I cringed all the way through the video, let it be known. He did reach space once, in the cinematic countdown (I assume a break where he went to learn).
I see it 2 ways:
1. Massive flood of really inexperienced 9-13 year olds flooding the forums with " L0L Kerbalz, omg guz I killed JebZ wiTh a Boosterz" or " I press space to space, right". I don't like this option
2. Free? (I think he said he was sponsored by Squad) advertising and much more people interested in the game, cane me helped by the lovely people here.
And? Whats the problem? Their money is as valuable as ours (actually more, since they will pay full price for it). Some newbies flooding the forums for some weeks in exchage to finance the development of new features for 24 more months? Looks good.
He has been sponsored, it says it at the beginning of the video (on the bottom). I don't know how much money it costs, but if he is really capable to have 2 million people watching a KSP video in a bunch of hours, then it should be a ....load of money to be a bad business.
-
Dodger also did a promoted video:
No problem for me, they properly disclosed the whole thing, and the money invested will help potencial fans to know about the game.
So, good job Squad.
-
Jebediah.
Now he is dead.
Serves me right for underestimate the reentry heat.
Let's see if I can end the week without killing Val...
-
Thank you.
-
I think they will release it at 17:00-18:00 GMT
Its a common hour for a lot of releases, and it would give them some time in the morning for the preparations, so it would make sense.
I don't think they will release after than that, European people would get mad at them...
-
For some people the usage of atomic engines could be seen as cheating because, you know, double ISP than the other engines...
At the end I think this is a very personal thing.
If you don't like the current status of the system you could set the resource avaliability to 10% on the difficulty settings, forcing you to really pinpoint the landing area (not that easy unless you use certain mods).
Or maybe just don't use the ISRU at all.
I mean, how hard can be just create a subclass of the jool-5 thing banning the use of any resource extraction?
-
I wouldn't like paying for mods but some of the definitely deserve it. If I were paying for mods I'd expect a higher level of professionalism and dedication to it working in the future.
In my opinion that's the whole point of mod monetization.
To let this people do mods for a living.
Of course nobody likes to pay for something that was free before, but imagine the kind of amacing things some of them could do working on their mods 40h a week during months (or maybe even years).
-
KSP modders earning money from their mods? Not against the idea. I mean, they actually deserve it.
-
The science archives tab.
Being able to check how much stuff have you done makes science an interesting feature even when the whole tech tree has been unlocked.
It's like an achievents list.
(I would love to have proper achievements in this game btw...)
-
Yeah, I know... My english is bad and I should feel bad about it.
I mean, if I'm going to play with reentry heat, I want to play it with all it's implications and not just in the "begginers mode" which only will cause damage if I'm doing really stupid things.
-
Setting reentry heat on lower than 100% is for losers!
It's going to be difficult to decide.
I mean, i was going for the normal mode, but having an awesome feature like reentry heat just "half implemented"... I don't like the idea...
-
Cool thing about that, now the hard mode will be harder than ever.
Less resources out there and less re-entry resistance...
-
Very speculative guess here but how about kerbal achievements viewable from the Astronaut complex.
No idea how long this would take to do but a) it wouldn't need balancing, so could be added at the last minute,
the underlying code has been in the game for a while if I remember rightly (I might not 
) and c) it would be a nod back to the earliest days of KSP where the game was basically an altitude contest - and having some kind of in-game 'high score table' would have been good.Edit. Either that or the Launch Tower is back!
I would go for it.
I remember how excited I was with the completed investigations tab.
Howeber, I don't see it as a long overdue feature.
It will be countdown or non clipping parachutes
-
There are already a bunch of 1st time screens telling beginners what to do first. I'm rather assuming some practical/quality of life change.
I know, but the other day I saw a twiter post of a well known youtuber who was strugling to make her first orbit, which makes me think that the current information wasn't still enought.
But yeah, I would preffer some kind of feature that would be useful to me.
-
I'm into In game tutorial.
Yeah, we got the normal ones, but let's face it, most people don't play tutorials on theirs first playthrough.
Too many people fail into their first steps because they don't want to bother with those things.
It just makes sense.
-
Implementing rbray's clouds. Though I'm not getting my hopes up. Which is a lie my hopes are VERY UP.
Oh jeez scratch that. PARACHUTES!! Proper parachutes please. I'll take that over clouds.
Between those two I would totally bet for the parachutes thing.
But I'm still convinced about something like a "The end" mission in oposition to the new "Game Over" feature.
If you can lose the game, you should be able to win it either.
And it sounds like something he could design and code in a bunch of hours, and the kind of thing which without the game would have been felt incomplete.
-
I will delete EVERYTHING the day before and then I'll just play it as a brand new game (pure vanilla).
In some months, I might try to retake the experience with a well established modpack.
-
Scott Manley has already announced a "special stream" event this weekend, and it would be foolish to think it's about anything else.
That. He has already done this before, so we should expect about 2h of 1.0 streaming that day.
-
I think it probably will be some kind of ending to the game.
A high-end mission or conditions which will invoke a "you won the game" event and the credits roll.
-
Well, he already did a 2 hour stream for the ARM patch, so yep... Surely it will 1.0
-
Will be interesting to see how much fuel will be posible to extract from those asteroids.
Sure they might become nice gas stations, but putting that big asteroid on a nice parking orbit won't be easy, nor cheap.
They will have to balance it very carefully, so it doesn't become game breaking or just useless.
-
They were going to make multiplayer a payed for DLC, but then a very vocal minority went [guano] insane over the idea, so I'm not sure we'll ever get any. The only real upside to this is that multiplayer is now a confirmed feature for a post 1.0 free update.
Correct.
And the downside being that usually the choice is not between "free DLC" or "paid DLC", but between "paid DLC" or "no DLC"...
As a license owner, I would have prefered to pay for a huge amount of DLCs, over to receive one or two basic DLCs for free and nothing more.
A pity, in my humble opinion.

Proper aerodynamics + Fairings
Re-entry heat + Heatshields
Basically, having the atmosphere doing "atmosphere stuff" and the amazing rocket design and gameplay changes that this will suppose.
the underlying code has been in the game for a while if I remember rightly (I might not 
) and c) it would be a nod back to the earliest days of KSP where the game was basically an altitude contest - and having some kind of in-game 'high score table' would have been good.
Pewdiepie did ksp!!!!

I understand your point, but he was just pewdiepie doing pewdiepie things.
I mean, everyone who sees his videos understands that under the random stuff there is an actual game which can be more or less interesting. People don't follow pewdiepie to see him just playing with a plan, we have better youtubers for that kind of show.
The whole point of having someone like pewdiepie playing the game is to promote it to the people who are not interested in seeing someone with a nice rocket and a plan... because the "Scott manley kinda" followers already bought the game or are genuinely not interested in that kind of thing.
