Wombat the Super Dog is going to see this and contact Squad, do some licensing deals with the production companies behind the 1998 "Lost in Space" film, then contact Squad to develop the DLC, and after that's finished, Star Theory and Take Two will publish the DLC together. Like what's been pointed out, you seem guaranteed that this will happen. I really don't want to burst this bubble man but it's most likely not going to happen because Squad, nor Take Two, nor Star Theory have that financial incentive to go through paying the licensing fees to actually make a DLC for just one person. Lost in Space is a really obscure film, there's unfortunately not a lot reason for them to go out of their way to go through the development to produce a DLC that the community doesn't want nor will bring anything all that interesting to the table. They won't get a lot out of doing a DLC exclusively just for you The best option you have is having asking or commissioning a modder to do it for you. @CobaltWolf and @Beale are two of the most prominent modders that immediately come to mind that nailed a clean retro esque aesthetic that would probably work best for this sort of thing . I'd suggest asking them when KSP2 finally releases. You could even try making a topic on Add-On Discussions and seeing if there might be other modders who would probably take on this project.

sh1pman Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm still not getting why you're so opposed to making these parts yourself. There's plenty of tutorials online, or you can ask the experienced modders for directions. It's a good opportunity to learn the 3D modeling software.

Yes, Squad is not only involved in KSP 2, but Star Theory and Take Two is involved as well like you said. Why would Squad make a DLC based on the 1998 "Lost in Space" film? It's because Jupiter 1 (and Jupiter 2) would work on KSP 2 as a DLC. It departs from the first version of KSP. I'll have to email them to have that developed. 12 minutes ago, DStaal said: A: Why would they have to? B: Squad isn't involved in KSP2. The people you need to convince are Star Theory and Take Two.

DStaal Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I could paint my car neon green. It doesn't mean it's going to happen, or that it's a good idea. Why is it a good idea - for Star Theory - for them to develop this DLC, vs. any other project they could work on? Why should they listen to a random player on the Internet? You say you're trying to convince them - but I've seen no evidence of you trying to convince anyone of anything, other than it is going to happen. You stating it doesn't make it happen. Why should it happen? How many thousand people have you gotten to agree to buy this hypothetical DLC? How much market analysis have you done? How many other people do you have writing in? Blender and Unity will only take a few dozen hours of your time to learn. Convincing Star Theory to do a DLC based on a movie that lost money is going to take hundreds or more hours of your time in campaigning and fundraising - and I haven't seen you start that.

Blender and Unity will take hundreds or more hours of my time to learn. That's why I'm still campaigning Star Theory to develop that DLC. And don't worry, they'll not deviate from other projects. They'll still work on them. I may email Star Theory or Take Two to make the 1998 Lost in Space film DLC just for you and me, and the entire KSP community. I may paint your car purple or yellow if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkidirk Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) well there is a very low chance that they will listen, but if they do, and if they do add a lost in space DLC, then i'll campaign them to add hyper advanced humans to the game.

TheSaint Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think a more pertinent question is: Why would Star Theory/Take Two spend the exorbitant amount of money the studio would demand for the license? Do you really imagine that the ROI will make it worth their while? It appears they are making plenty of money on DLCs created completely in-house. Why would they take the risk on creating a DLC that they are hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole on before it is even out the front door? Especially a property like Lost in Space. Do you see anyone else lining up to license it? Toys, games, comics? No? You know why? It's a 22-year-old movie that got panned by the critics and barely cleared its own budget at the box office. Nobody is going to license it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
