Kitten Space Agency is the spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program (www.gamingonlinux.com)

I played it for weeks. It‘s great and I hope the devs succeed.

Have you played KSP? What does it do better/worse? Any significant differences?

[–] harribert@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have 2000+ hours in KSP and 70 hours in KSP2 (we don’t talk about that fail here). KSP has more content. Don‘t forget KSA is still pre-alpha. Where KSA excels is in its technological foundation. It‘s not just a game engine, it‘s a whole framework. Many of KSP’s limitations and clunkyness came from the use of the unity engine. KSA-devs are building a loadingscreen free, multithreading, true spiritual successor to KSP. Sadly with kittens instead of kerbals (but there are several mods that replace the kittens with kerbals, the devs love modding)

Sounds good. One of the screenshots looks the Americas, is it using a solar system inspired scaled down world like KSP or is it more realistic or something completely different? And how is building rockets? One thing I liked in theory about KSP 2 (never played it) was more procedural components instead of individual fixed components in the original KSP.

Edit: Scott Manley made a video which answers all my questions, looks good.

I'd love this to succeed, but then again Rocket is involved. We'll see how this one goes I guess...

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's the issue with the developer?

KSA seems to have generally positive reviews.

He basically dropped SA DayZ dude made a great mod, got to big for his head and peaced out when the SA game was basically an alpha release. He doesn't have a great track record of finishing shit.
