I believe he didn't lie, but he hasn't spoken the truth either. See? Reality is nuanced and complicated.

Why not blame both?

Simple. I can't. If everything is true in SZ's video, the guy is innocent. I am all for pointing fingers, and I have my torch and pitchfork ready, but Nate ain't on my list.

In fact, you are new, so as an old duffer, I'd like to see your thought process on solving these issues/completing this task

There weren't old duffers present according to this video. In fact, they were deliberately kept away. If you give me money to build skyscraper, and I employ  only engineers fresh from college, thus failing to complete the project... who's incompetent in that situation?

Even the guys at the "bottom" are still responsible for working for a company that was run like because they all knew it. That makes them responsible. I have not once personally attacked anyone. I just said they were incompetent and stand by that point. 

Responsible how? You do what you are told to do. Also, apparently these are all juniors. Don't mix lack of experience with the lack of competence.

everything was still in the game in some form (colonies, interstellar, multiplayer) to varying degrees of completion

Oof. If those features were shoved over KSP 1 reskined version codebase, this thing, even if continued, doesn't have a chance to become a good game... 

[Shadowzone's findings on KSP2 history]

@ShadowZone I has a question. You mentioned colonies where supposed to be in EA launch, but the developer working on them was shuffled to different duties. This somehow implies they're nearly completed, yet, months have passed in developing them. Have I misunderstood something?

Great work by the way. Really appreciated.

I agree completely

I don't agree completely. Sure, I didn't put my time in development, but we're all here, discussing all possible topics endlessly. No one forces us to do so, but our hearts and minds are nevertheless here, almost every day. Probably more than many of us care to admit.

Am I wrong in saying it's just a game?

Yes. Yes you are. Sorry... Games (and video games) should not be underestimated. Many movies and books never even came close to excite a feeling some (video) games did for me. We learn through games... In fact... I owe my career to one. It ain't KSP though, I'm far too dumb  for that

I expect it'll probably be July before we hear anything

Well if the decision is to release whatever is in the works right now, it must be done before studio closes, thus perhaps we get something (vague and unsubstantial) this month.

[When to expect news?]

My guess is that there will be an update. The development is in progress until June. Whatever has been cooking thus far will probably be released with some very vague statements about future development. After that though....

Take your pick. Specify exact date, if you want... for fun

The solver approximates tension in joints iteratively. To avoid iterating many times per frame,

I thought it runs on each engine "tick" and I didn't know it approximates. I assume it at least goes through every part on each iteration...?

If you had a very wobbly rocket and you saved the game and loaded, you might come back to a rocket that's rapidly disassembling itself, due to the forces exceeding joint limits before the simulation had time to settle.

Wait... What?!

I would say the steam community is even more sour on KSP2 than here.  Reviews there are very negative.

I'm pretty sure everyone here would be happy if game development is continued. If future updates fixed current mess, reviews would go up. As @Bej Kerman noted, I believe majority of reviews are from the people who played KSP 1. But even if this game gets good reviews, it doesn't guarantee it will sell outside of established player-base. Investing further would be a risk. I don't know if their hopes were to expand it.

Even if they come back when they have more money to burn, it's still a bad investment given how sour the community is at this point.

The only thing worse than having the game cancelled before we got there, would be to have the game cancelled when we were so freakin' close.

Same. I'm hoping we will at least get a glimpse of those.

You just fail to see the bright side that the studio is still open.

It's worth noting that KSP2 was never listed as an independent title. Here's a snippet from Q3 2023 report.

Your investigations and and input are appreciated... by me at least.

Yes. You could do physical warp, but not time warp... and chutes worked fine.

And again, why does KSP 2 atmospheric warp-mode not allow for staging / chute-deployment?

Original didn't do it either. Probably it can't compute aero forces under TW. Yes, there are issues with non terminating TW when reaching atmo, and blah blah blah

For yourself, what rig are you running that you aren't seeing the chute issue?

Have you used fairings? I never experienced this issue, but I haven't really used fairings much in this game. Apparently, that's not the main trigger, but it can contribute to it. For you, it's consistent always? Fairings with or without?

I  landed with parachutes on Kerbin, Duna, Jool, Eve, and Laythe, and in all cases they behaved as expected.

Nate's own response:

Quote

• Parachutes don’t deploy reliably (doubly true when fairings are in the mix) 

Many things can influence a bug to occur or not. Never dismiss these reports to be just a user error.

Is it usual practice to announce such things at that time?

It was a guess from one of the forum members (not sure who). I wouldn't expect it today though. But I personally wouldn't expect it until the end of May to be honest.
