έķ νίĻĻάίή Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Title says all; I am actually worried Several months without a single update. Not a single preview, announcement, or even an “We are ok.” I’m scared that they have hit a bump on the road, I guess. Do they have an fatal glitch? Or maybe financial issues? Ahhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover 6428 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 dude... chill. Do you remember for how long we had 1.3? maybe they are just working on some big expansion or are perfecting the code. Stop ringing panic bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garwel Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I agree it's about time they started reaching out to the community if they are still planning to release the game this year. It would be pretty bad (both for us and for them) to maintain radio silence until release, although they certainly can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'm convinced something disrupted their plans to drop infos since Squad did their contest about replicating the colonial VAB without Star.Theory releasing any official material about it, just some phrases if you dig through the interviews, as if they planned to do the contest in conjunction with some sort of announcement that got cancelled. Also if I remember correctly there was some "more info in the coming months" stated during the first interviews and the "developers insights" section is stuck at #1.

razark Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 What's there to worry about? Right now, you don't have KSP2, and life goes on. Worst case scenario, you don't have KSP2 later, and life continues to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Developers are quiet: Why aren't they talking to us? Is the game dead? Developers are engaging and posting updates: Why are they spending so much time promoting? Shouldn't they be working on the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand on this, the developers are overhyping the game, run, it's going to be bad. (Hold it, people are already saying that. Never mind.) Don't worry, this is normal. Yes, there are some developers that communicate regularly, but they are the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwillard Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'll field this one. When they came out with the announcement they got such an overwhelming amount of feedback from KSP veterans which both helped them solidify their priorities, and likely gave them a crapload of work to do in tweaking/redeveloping various aspects of the game, in order to make the best game possible. The above rejiggering takes a long time, and before it is done, there inherently isn't anything new to show. This is the period we are still in now, and it's not really surprising nor should be taken with alarm. They also just got the green light for several additional months of development time (the move to fiscal year 2021) and are likely taking the opportunity to focus on some stuff they may not have had time for before. Also, it was the holiday season. I expect more updates in the next couple months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtemisAZ Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Don't panic until we have good enough reason to panic. I can think of like 40 reasons immediately off the top of my head but lack of KSP2 updates is probably not one of them although who knows. Star Theory is still in really early stages of development with this game and I think right now they're trying to get it to a stage that when they show off stuff it will be more up to standard with community expectations. The slow drip stinks I know but hey give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slow drip stinks I know but hey give it time. Its been in development since before 1.6 dropped (12-19-18) and by then they had already developed game assets meaning it was being developed for a bit before this. We are 3 months from the original release date in what has been longer than 13 months of development already. Based on this I suspect they must at the least be near to closing alpha and moving on to beta testing and have surely developed a fair bit of content in the past 4 months worth showing off. They also said they would be contacting the community and that they would be giving us more updates in coming months. I understand if they dont want to confirm a new release time frame since delaying but maybe selectively addressing a few of the questions posited by the community about content in the game would be fair by now.

My point is pretty much this, I'm used to Devs not talking, I'm also waiting Half-Life Alyx and Valve has gone dark since the announcement trailer too, but it seems that Star.Theory had some plans to feed us with information that, for some unknown reasons, got dropped. My best example remains the colonial VAB contest, which was made by Squad on a topic that was only briefly touched by Nate Simpson during interviews, as if some info reveal that should have been posted before the contest got cancelled. Anyway I'm not even that worried, just a little upset by the lack of new information to confirm the past 3 months of speculation or to allow for some new, fresh discussion and speculation in this forum section.

stoani96 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I am afraid, that the communication between Squad and Star theory is rather bad and Star Theory was not aware of the content squad is about to add to KSP1 (DLCs included) and push themselfes to delevier those things in the sequel, adding a lot of work in the former end phase of production/development. I understand this pressure, because the community would not be very happy to have a sequel that has less content and not as polished terrain textures, etc. If this is the case, I am very, very much worried about this project, as the squel would most certainly be not real sequel, but more of a rip-off of KSP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, also, the game is a complete and optimized rewrite, even if it was the exact same thing as KSP1 it would be worth the money, but with all the features they confirmed we already know is much more. The only thing that we'll probably loose are the robotic parts, but that''s a small thing compared to the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1904 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Do you really think a game developer backed by take two is running out of money? Stop worrying about things that you have no power over. If the game is trash its trash. Learn to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
