RUD Everyday Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 It has been one month since KSP2 was absolutely demolished by Take Two so... @Nate Simpson @Intercept Games@Private Division@Jebediah Kerman what is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrobDingnag Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 You can go ahead and stop counting. The game's dead. Development has ended. It's a damned shame, but that's how it is when small corporations are eaten by larger ones. In the gaming industry, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP is pretty much the exact opposite of "patient." Count all you want. Tag people all you want. Whether or not anything happens will have nothing to do with it.

Scarecrow71 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The only counting that matters is the number of days until a lot of people are out of work. And the current number is 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadJohn Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 @gfdgfherytrey Don't expect a direct answer. That's not how Take2 communicates. You tagged a bunch of inactive accounts in your top post. 3 of those accounts haven't logged in during 2024. The 4th hasn't logged in since April. None of them are likely to even see this.

Stevie_D Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 as @DeadJohn said, you best not expect or hope for an answer. Take 2 have shown on multiple occasions that when they close a studio or a game they never make a public statement to either confirm or deny, they just let it die, silently, until everyone works it out themselves. (Google "Take 2 Marin" for quickest example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brofessional Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The dev branches on Steam continue to be updated, so someone is working. The question is whether or not any work continues after the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is whether or not any work continues after the end of June. I read somewhere that these were automated uploads of development builds. I guess we'll find out, but at the rate the team was working the whole time, you can't really expect more than a few minor changes in the month or less before they're official jobless.

Given that they are trying to sell the game/studio to someone else, I think it is pretty obvious all that work is being done for that sole purpose. I.E. Creating a showcase/tech demo type of thing to show potential investors. Edited June 6 by MechBFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just put an internal build on a laptop. Getting the last batch of fixes that they had in the pipeline into the public release might make the product a bit more attractive to a buyer, though. Slight bump in reputation, less clean-up for them to do after purchase. Edited June 6 by HebaruSan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they don't need to go on steam, but given they have numerous people work remotely and they need everyone to have access to the latest updated branches, it makes little sense to not use Steam when it is already working when they have precious little time left.

[snip] Let me break this down for you, ok? HebaruSan was talking about people getting the latest batch of fixes. You decided to state that people needed to update them to Steam for other to get them due to remote work. Which, as I pointed out, is not entirely accurate because they could just use IG's internal network and access their own internal source control for that. Now, if you want to put words in my mouth about IG not doing branch management correctly, I'll ask you to at least point out where I even mentioned anything about them doing it correctly in my post. Can't find it? Right - because I never said it. [snip] Edited June 7 by Vanamonde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorj Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The simplest take is that KSP2 work has moved to a support-only group within PD. There were bugfixes in motion, and presumably that group is iterating on those bugfixes. I expect we'll get one more patch release out of PD. Pessimistic view: they won't figure it out, and we'll get nothing further. Optimistic view: colonies were nearly done, and the support team can finish the feature release. But I'd personally bet on a patch release, and then only a future patch if new crash bugs are discovered (due to video driver changes or whatever).

They've had an entire 'feature team' working on Colonies for ages now, through the entire of For Science! development so it really should be there or there about, given the six extra months.

Though they don't work for IG, PD, T2, they are the shareholders and secret world government. They tried to push this game initially, to keep you oblivious of the fact that the Earth is actually flat and Moon landing was a fake. But it became too costly even for them. I mean, you can believe me or not. They can't touch me. I'm wearing tinfoil hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for asking the question i was waiting for. The forum moderators moderating the KSP2 section should recuse themselves from handling anything until they and the community has gotten the info we all need. Right now, they are enablers. Part of the problem. Participants in something that smells like a rotting fish in a pile of manure. They should be ashamed of even volunteering ANY activity regarding KSP2. The only alternative is to remove the whole KSP2 section of the forum until this is resolved. Change my mind. Edited June 7 by Izny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
