wizard` Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Most modders are "quiet" because they have had to do a lot of work to get their mods up to date. For example the new KOSMOS VA was only released a day or so ago because the whole time (since 0.16 launch) they have been working really hard to change things over to being 2m parts. The KOSMOS Angara won't be ready until at least next week and I'm sure its the case with many other big mods. Another example is the new Novapunch remix was just released today because of the whole 2m parts business.You just have to remember that modding is their whole life, they have other commitments which can take them away from developing their mod(s).

erkha343 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hey, Nova, will we in the future get submersible parts? I'd love to go to the (hopefully incredibly deep) oceans of LaytheAm I allowed to repost this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAMS Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Am I allowed to repost this?Technically you're not allowed to ask in this thread. You can post that in suggestions if you want, but this thread is for .17 only and that won't be part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Did any of the dev's say anything about it?They said they had no plans to do subs. It was asked in that far grounds or bust interview and they said no but would leave it open for mods to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadownailshot Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The .17 update thread hasn't changed much in the past few days. Hm.I can't wait to do interplanetary stuff, I've been having a lot of fun trying (and failing) to do it in orbiter lately. KSP is much easier to play. Although That's because you can just wing it.

DimethylMercury Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm sure they're quite busy, and I did appreiciate nova giving us the planet types and names (really, really cool to be in the loop on that) but ever since .15 came out it has felt somewhat like this. loooooong periods of silence to finally be broken with some minute, abstract detail of development. I just have felt so very uninvolved as a community member, although whatever moderater had to read my previous post before approving it, did indeed pass it so at least my voice is being heard.

sal_vager Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 DimethylMercury, you should check the new Blogs, HarvesteR himself has been quite active, also you must be aware that creating a game such as KSP takes a lot of effort so there is often not much time for Squad to socialize as much as they'd like to Another thing, you are a Curious George, you will be upgraded to Bottle Rocketeer after your 5th post, this is a basic anti-spam measure and all new members have to go through it.One last point, discussions such as this are off-topic and potentially derailing, and are not suited to this thread.

UKDan89 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 .16 had regular updates, I remember seeing the new pods in development by C7, the new animation for explosions and new parts from Nova and work on EVA and ladders from Harv but this update seems to be very silent, Nova posts on this thread with pics and info regularly which is good but I find the rest of the team have been rather silent, must be busy I don't mind but I'm on the edge of my seat every night in anticipation lol. I really really can't wait for this release, it's the one I've been waiting for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really can't wait for this release, it's the one I've been waiting for They're working on it. Nova's shown us a picture of almost every celestial object in the system that's he's worked on. I don't know what the problem is. Keep your pants on and wait, it'll get here when it gets here. If there's no updates, that just means that they are working on it.

ZootinZack Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We've had quite a few sneak peeks: new planets, the POV video of C7, the tutorial assistants, plus the blogs... I don't really feel left in the dark... Additionally I don't think that the devs should be expected to give us minute details on what they're working on. I'd rather have them work on the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxMurder Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Most games do not even get announced until they are in beta... the fact that we have such unprecedented access to information about KSPs development is incredible. Major game dev's would regard the info the KSP team gives out regularly as highly confidential, sensitive, trade secret information. After working for a major dev studio i know that just mentioning any development related information can get you fired and blacklisted from ever working in the industry again. We should feel extremely privileged that we get anything more than a release date... I am very grateful that Squad has allowed us to follow along with the development of this incredible game!

Pleborian Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 that and nova is pretty active on this thread, honestly I've never seen a games community forum have this much interaction with the devs directly. Its nice and could do with being spread onto a few other companies I can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaSilisko Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 @wizardI've got secret plans on that subject for future updates.@thatonepersonNo, there are technical limitations to terrain scatters right now, so, maybe someday, but not yet.
