Gamasutra recently spoke to HarvesteR about the state of early access. the road to KSP 1.0 and the future implementation of multiplayer. If you want a feel for how things are going and where they're headed next, click HERE.

Hi, everyone! We know that we’ve been quiet about the future of Spaceport as of late. Too quiet. Between researching a number of viable solutions and testing certain implementations, we had yet to come to come to what the next step would be. That was, until now. We are ready to confirm that starting today, CURSE will be the official mod host of Kerbal Space Program. By signing up for a Curse account to use with KSP, you will have an unprecedented ease of access in which to download and implement mods into your game. Up until now, Spaceport, the former official repository for KSP mods had not allowed the simplicity, speed, organization and reliability that Curse can provide. If any modders have material on Spaceport that needs to be copied or otherwise backed up, it’s recommended that you do so before the site officially shuts down 30 days from now. Otherwise, you can start manually uploading your material onto Curse as early as today. If you choose not to do so, there are no other changes. You are more than welcome to host the downloads of your mods elsewhere and maintain your forum threads as you already have been. Just remember that Spaceport will no longer be online in 30 days. Going with CURSE allows them to do what they do best - host, organize and deliver your content in an smooth manner, while allowing us greater time and resources that will go into game development, strengthening the community and making the KSP experience greater on all sides. Do not expect Curse to start taking any drastic measures within the community, either. Your experience here on the forum, as well as our other social channels will not change. You’ll still even be able to discuss and download mods right off the forum if that’s your preference. For the modding community, Curse allows for certain benefits that Spaceport did not. Increased host support, regular upgrades and updates to the site as well as the potential for a larger community of players to download your mods are among them. Curse will also be rolling out a program for modders to be monetarily rewarded for hosting within their system. We'll be excited to make sure each of you interested in this program can discuss it with Curse. We know that changes like these can bring growing pains, but we feel that the positives you will experience with CURSE will outweigh anything else over time. Their team are all fans of KSP and know that you all expect nothing short of a high quality experience out of them. Throughout our discussions with them, we know that they’re quite up to the task and we hope that you will be happy with the results. Thanks.

Hi, everyone. First off, on behalf of everyone at Squad, we'd like to thank you for taking the surveys that we brought to you shortly before our appearances at SXSW and GDC 2014. They told us a lot about who you are, how you got here and many things you've taken out of playing KSP. We revealed the results of these surveys at these conference to show off what kind of community you are. Whether you reside on the forum, the subreddit or any other area of our community, you are the ones that have given yourselves the rep as one of the most thoughtful, harmonious and overwhelmingly creative communities out there. The numbers brought to us in the surveys also refreshed our eyes to some areas where we could look to both improve and bolster further. We are now able to present the RESULTS to some of the questions asked in both surveys. We hope you find them as interesting as we have. Thanks again.
