So excited to play this but also sad that they didn't get the IP to use Kerbals. Not loving the cutesy baby kittens.. should have gone with a more serious animal like capybaras.

I’m primarily a coding instructor but I also teach lessons based around Kerbal Space Program. From that angle I’m pretty happy where these devs are going with the sandbox and level of freedom they plan on giving users. One reason my students seem to really like KSP are all the different things you can do/build (especially space planes). While it does have a high difficulty curve when it comes to the controls, once th…

Using kittens is a master stroke. If done right, the internet will reward them.
I was surprised how much backlash there is over using kittens. It turned out that people are worried they’ll get too attached to the kittens to be able to enjoy them becoming engulfed in massive explosions.
Let me know when I can run it on my Mac. I realize I'm 1% of the world but I can't even be bothered to unfuck the gaming machines I own that are gathering dust. Just let me use my main workstation and I'll play the shit out of it

"They're too easy to get sentimentally attached to, and then it makes me sad if I blow them up!"
Honestly this probably enhances the sandbox nature of the game by making the stakes more palpable.

I bet there will be mods in no time to bring the Kerbals back :)

Also, developers seem to have an experimental Linux build and code building for macOS according to the wiki:

I have a lot of opinions on shipping games on macOS, but they mostly about lack of technical barriers to be honest, so I'll leave them with myself.

I wish it were open-source, especially since it's being distributed "pay-what-you-want" anyway. If they released the source, they could get free labor to port to Mac or even console homebrew.
> Will KSA be open source?
The game is not expected to be made open source due to certain dependencies that are not also open source. Public code contributions may be opened up in the future pending concerns around effectively managing the potential volume of code contributions.

Aren't the kerbals basically minions with dignity?
Not mine. My kerbin's ocean is full of them now.
Since I play with no mods I guess they're all still technically alive since they don't require food or water and have an apparently infinite supply of oxygen.
