Have Squad thought about setting up other studios?

[kerbonaut101]

I've just had a random thought, have Squad ever considered setting up other development studios in the US, Canada, Europe ect... ? Do you think this would affect the game positivity or negatively? How do you think it would affect the development time?

If they WERE to get more devs, it'd be pritty stupid to have them on the other side of the world

Agreed. History has shown multiple times that this causes significant hindrances in development.

The funny thing is that, IIRC, a number of them do already work remotely from other spots in the world.

fenrir wolf is right, their headquarters may be in Mexico city but ~half their team works remotely (people in the US and UK) but really they don't have, as a gaming studio have any real reason for multiple studios... until they get multiplayer going (hosts for servers) and/or get other game projects going.

however should they go international it will be something like Northern US, Montreal, London, Moscow, Shanghai.... really it depends on the proximity to the old studio hense NA gets attention first...

Mu, Chad, Ted, Rowsdower, Claira and Romfarer are all working from other countries. Past devs also did, including NovaSilisko, N3X15 and Artyom bac9.

Considering KSP is the sole game development project Squad has ever undertaken, I'd be saying right off that it's definitely far too early to consider setting up dedicated offshore locations just for this one project of theirs.
