There's word that part of the team uses Macs to develop, which is actually limiting things like max texture size they can work with. He also mentioned the "core" team using Linux and Mac internally. So, no confirmation to the level of Linux, but certainly already taken into account.

Low priority, hopefully. Then RW can focus on Windows where all the gamers are, and Linux where all the power users are.

Guess I don’t exist, considering I use a Mac.

That or I’m not a gamer.

yay

I was pretty sad when KSP2 literally just said “We’ll share more info at a later date!”

Another abstracted, conceptual and non-existing being here. Welcome to limbo, do you want a seat at my side?

Serious now: Apple virtually destroyed the Mac's gaming ecosystem. Everything they could do to ditch gamers from Mac, they did it - twice.

I have a Mac 6.2 and a 7.1 right now on my desk (the 5.1 died 2 months ago). Both of them uses Mojave, because anything newer would break some productivity 32 bits tools that I didn't managed to replace (due a reason or another), and the other is where I play my games and a lot of them are 32 bits binaries.

So, I'm out of the Mac game market for good. Unless these Macs die soon (what I don't expect to happen, the one that are dead, died after 12 years of abuse, 5 of them working 24x7), one of them will be "updated" to some Linux distro for Macs, and the other one will be on Mojave until the end of times.

Icarus was actually mostly positive, until they finished their DLC releasing cycle, pushing the price of the full experience from $17 (in my region) to $94, $41 if you don't mind the cosmetics (yes, that's $36 of cosmetic DLC for a game that's $17, and by SteamDB, those prises are +64% for normal US Dollar, madness.). Plus calling them "expansions" was very controversial compared to the content they bring in. Mind you all of that was without emitting a single judgement on whether I think the game is good or bad, which I've already stated before. Not like trusting Steam reviews is any indication of intelligence.

Yeah, having the KSP1 team, and part of the KSP2 team is a -huge- boost on experience, not just on systems and mechanics... but on knowing how to do and not to do things. They all got to watch KSP2 and cringe at it, some from inside even.

As someone who played the last 4 betas for Icarus and was around for the atrocious launch, RW has turned it around into (imo) a pretty good game. Is it for everyone? Absolutely not. Did they have one of the worst launches in history? Absolutely. However going from that and looking at a player base that was no happy and instead of moving on like most games they instead turn around and have released 153 free weekly updates ranging from minor improvements, expansions to maps, new animals and mechanics, to major backend adjustments and support for dedicated servers. I honestly don't know of many others that release updates post 1.0 with the frequency they do besides Rust lol. About the expansion pricing the map expansions are quite reasonably priced. New Frontiers came with 45ish hours of missions if you are experienced and it just got a major free update with more missions (I think 20ish hours ) and costs 40 bucks, so about $0.62 per hour if you only play the missions and don't dabble in the OW. Styx has somewhere around 30 hours of gameplay and is $20 so again $0.66 per hour if you only play each mission once. 4 $14 dollar cosmetic dlcs that RW is very transparent about being used to fund the development of the game. If you don't wanna buy you don't have too. And with all the DLCs the only thing you are restricted from is crafting items unique to the DLC or in the expansions case, launching the mission. If you have a buddy with them then you can play every mission and use everything in the game. 

Regarding Stationeers the progress is slow because it is a small section of the studio that is working on a game that is consistently bleeding funds.

We would love to make Stationeers (or a sequel) with it. Unfortunately though, Stationeers loses money but we love the game and what we learn as a studio making it. We are ride-or-die when it comes to our games. But I think Stationeers is just very, very niche. We typically only gross around USD700 a day, of which we get 55%. We spend substantially more than that per day developing the game. There is some hope it will do well at 1.0, but I am just not sure there is a market for stationeers as a sequel really. -- https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/1gg5106/comment/lunjcgx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

We all learn that lesson. I did 30 years ago when I bought an Amiga. Yes, you have the superior hardware and all that jazz. But the big volume stuff go where the big volumes are. You made a conscious choice to not get a Windows machine, And getting second servings in the gaming world is part of that too.

Mac is for elitist style.
Steve Jobs was an apprentice in India/Tibeth.

Style means pain and self-restraint. Style means suffer.
Spirituality means pain and self-restraint. Spirituality means suffer.

Mac users must suffer and self-restrain. That's the Path.

Maybe we should focus a little bit more on KSA and a little less on hardware/OS preferences.

 

Amiga was the best tho
