and what would have been more hype fuel became more anger fuel for more attacks, and finally everyone is just sitting at a fading campfire. 

The train wheels are still raining from the sky.

Everything about this thread is hilarious. I love that it is pinned at the very top. *chef's kiss*

All this is now is the wreck of people's hopes and dreams about KSP 2.  I never had the hardware for KSP 2.  But I can feel others' pain about this wreck.

At least, they now have a free computer for Sims.

Wish this atleast made it to have a career and colonies. Then atleast it would have some legs for replay ability since instead of building up the game the modding community decided to gave up on it. 

[Fizzlebop Smith]

This was at least partially due to the treatment of the developers working on the game.. and the community at large. The modding community was a bit appalled at the way they were {snip} canned after being led to believe their horse would finish the race.

Intercept Games posted a new  job 1 day ago for a senior software engineer (graphics) position working with Unreal.

I for one welcome the ridiculous hot take that KSP2 is now obviously revived and switching from Unity to Unreal.

By some reason, my posts on this thread came to my mind, in special:

Or, in fewer words, which ones of my list of concerns such tools are going to fix so I can be lured into modding KSP2?

You can't push your weight on people doing Pro Bono work: you give them what they need, or they will leave - what's exactly what happened in the past, and I'm afraid is what may be happening now.

Great, does it mean I can take my shovel and dig my hope out of the grave again? It's lot of work considering how deep I had to dig the hole after all.

Yeah. That's my running theory. A skeleton crew to put out that new game in whatever state they needed it in. I don't got much hope KSP2 will continue official development under them, but there's a small chance.

While I do love to watch hopium levels rise to dangerous levels in this thread, I also feel a responsibility to crush those optimistic speculations.

Excuse me, shovel, the time hasn't coming yet.

On the contrary, I wasn't being hopeful. No real internet hiring would close down the opening after only 4 applications, much less would only 4 people apply if the post was real.

If it wasn't still dead, you'd be hearing the suits at T2 shouting from every available rooftop about new updates in the pipeline.
