Expand That is the reason I am against KSP2 from advertising a lot on youtube and the forum being top 33 on reddit because, then people will realize this game exists and with multiplayer being added we could see some serious 9 year old infestations but, don't worry I have been finding pest control people to deal with them. I have always liked KSP being under the radaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunaManiac Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 To be honest, I am not sure a 9 year old would be interested in KSP2 as it being a space game, I have to siblings roughly that age and have never showed any interest in either KSP1 or KSP2.

DunaManiac Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 9 year olds just aren't interested in these kinds of games, they're interested in fortnite or minecraft, not a space simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaerbanogue Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I hope they'll stress the simulation aspect of the game in advertisement campaign so we don't inherit no man's sky fanbase. (no offense) If someone sees the trailer and don't know about ksp, he may think it's just a funny sandbox space game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's more for for like 14 year olds, but I suspect you were exaggerating anyway. And yeah, plenty of kids are into space stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtemisAZ Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I never liked this stereotype logic of "9 Year Olds will ruin X because of Y reason and that they're young and therefor won't understand the niche". This hasn't happened on regular ol KSP and I very much doubt it will change with KSP2 even if they take a much more harder approach to advertising the game, hell I encourage younger generations of potential Kaboom Enthusiasts Junior Aerospace Engineers to help jump aboard the giant boat we strapped SRB's to. Even if they don't get a lot of the core physics there's still a lot of potential to learn and set them on the path to wanting to figure this all out. Plus you don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy KSP for what it is, I was enjoying this game since I was a wee 11 year old ingesting large amounts of glue and putting crayons up my nose and I still thought KSP was the coolest thing ever despite not understanding 0.00001% of it and I just enjoyed making things go boom because suppressed pyromania or something. Just have faith in those darn kids these days with their fartknights After all - How hard can Rocket Science be anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can build anything from absurd contraptions to complex space missions and everything in between. Even if you are just messing around, chances are you'll learn something about real mechanics and real engineering. KSP is a giant toolbox with some places you can reach, just like the real world.

Trying 10 hours to get that wierd looking rocket into space isn't, at least not for them. So, I'd prefer more difficult stuff, like life support and whatnot, to be a difficulty setting turned off when you download it. Also, make certain mechjeb features, like launching to orbit, stock. Makes the game easier to start with, at least for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
