genbrien Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 No. It put unnecessary pressure on Devs + they have to spend time on bugs of the playing build that could be spent elsewhere. Let them work, and develop your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Actually, judging from the fact they're still showing "pre-alpha" content, then I'd expect the April (or whenever) release to be EA, whether it's called by that name or not. Two months before release they really should have more than that, with late alpha or early beta content, at least. What you can do in two months is go from alpha to late beta, and that's what I'm expecting to happen. Of course, they could have a grand fanfare and a flashy release post, but as anyone who remembers KSP1.0 knows, this doesn't really mean anything.

Lord Aurelius Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I don't agree with this petition. The devs need to focus on doing KSP2 right, not rushing out an early access version which will end up hobbling future development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler I do want them to release as soon as possible, but only if the amount of kraken attacks, lag and bugs is less than the amount in KSP 1. I think most of us don't want an unfinished product. Edit: clicked the link. You probably should have mentioned that you want an early access, not the full game.

JamesL86 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 That's a no from me also. Sure I'd be a little depressed if it did not come out until 2021 but as long as solid progress is being made by talented and passionate folks like those seen in the last dev vlog then I'm okay. Further, the last five years have left me with a substantial amount of Early Access Fatigue so I'd rather get a product that is at or at least near feature lock by the time we get our hands on it.

Guest Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 No from me too. Early access is about presenting a rough version of a new idea and iterating on it with fans to make it better. KSP2 is about taking a really good idea with a big fan base and lots of battlefield testing and making a better version of it, with bells on. It's not a good candidate for EA.

Deddly Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 My impression has always been that the overwhelming majority of the KSP community would much rather wait to get a release that's ready rather than a rushed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gydra54 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Nah, AT MOST a single early playable demo or something, but even that I don't really agree with. Let them develop the game and release it when ready. I don't care even if they have to delay to 2025, I am willing to wait for a proper game.

Fiscal Year. Don't any of you people pay taxes? It's been delayed a month at most. It just crossed the fiscal year boundary, which has some very important consequences for accounting (hence why the shareholders had to be notified), but is otherwise unremarkable.

They haven't yet announced a release date, and they've just transferred the project to a brand-new studio which they haven't even finished setting up.

It just crossed the fiscal year boundary, which has some very important consequences for accounting (hence why the shareholders had to be notified), but is otherwise unremarkable. In the interview that was aired yesterday from PAX, the devs said that (a) they were planning to release "several" videos showcasing various parts of the game and that (b) those videos would be coming out "every month or two". Folding those together, the most optimistic timeline for release would be 4-5 months from now, so late summer/early fall, and quite possibly next winter. Still within FY21, but not "April".

Guest Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Still not a year, but that does sound more likely. Well, we'll see whether that's enough for a decent closed beta phase. At any rate, I really hope they show up here and start taking feedback from the community. Preferably before the release. I have a feeling that the forums are only monitored by PR staff, and the devs are isolated from the actual community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman4308 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 8 hours ago, VoidCosmos said: We want a polished game. Not quick unplayable garbage Technically speaking, you're falling into the same trap as the OP: assuming your opinion is representative of everybody. Assuming I substitute "early access" for "quick unplayable garbage", I can definitely point out the OP as a counterexample. Granted, he/she likely doesn't want quick unplayable garbage either, he/she just has a different idea of how we should get there. To actually get a good idea, you'd need to conduct a poll, and even then, you're going to be biased by where the poll is. Post the poll here? You're biased towards the opinion of forumgoers. What I can say is that I'm one of those people who's wary of early access these days, and KSP 2 is not IMO a good fit for EA, as the general ideas are already there ("KSP, but better"), it just needs good execution. There's a lot of player feedback from KSP 1 that's already going into KSP 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjwt Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 My vote, no not at all, preferably no early access either, only one final beta test. Early access slows things down, complaints them, ensures resources are being added to the access and releases.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
