How do you manage to kill THREE dev teams and still not have the game at a playable state?

>Take 2 buys the KSP IP from Squad, team effectively dissolved, a few modders turned devs are hired by T2 under the same name
>they shit out low quality cash grab DLC that intentionally break compatibility with mods that added the same features for free, better, years ago, but it's ok because they'll develop a sequel soon
>The planetary annihilation devs make a desperate bid for KSP2 because they have nothing else, somehow win, get renamed to star theory
>two years later they have very little to show and miss T2's deadlines, they get an offer to get bought out but refused, so T2 pulls the IP and contract for them and effectively collapses them, they poach some employees
>they still publish KSP2 in early access and it's an unplayable abomination
>they hand development to an internal team at Private Division called Intercept, updates roll out on a glacial pace
>basic stuff like not janky orbits are still absent, the game stutters and lags even with 64GB of RAM and a 7800XD because it's unoptomized to shit
>pre launch promises like colonies and interstellar travel nowhere near close
>the botched launch made the playerbase disappear, so even getting further development was a tossup
>Intercept was just killed and every single employee fired, KSP2 is once again without a team and being prostituted out by T2 like an underage pinoy prostitute
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder
I know nothing about the game. So basically Take two bought out the game and fired people originally created just to replace them with random who's they already own?
I can't imagine a universe in which it would end up any better.
It's complicated.
In 2011 a guy working for a PR company (Squad) in Mexico talked his bosses into letting him tinker on a game idea in Unity for a while. Originally released as freeware, the game became successful and the company gradually devoted more people to working on it.
In 2012 KSP1 entered paid early access.
In 2015 KSP1 left early access.
In 2016 the original creator (who did not have ownership) left Squad.
In 2017 Squad was sold to Take-Two.
From 2017-2021 Squad would continue to update KSP1, operating in Mexico under Take-Two's ownership.
Sometime between 2017 and 2019 the private company Uber Entertainment (Monday Night Combat, Planetary Annihilation) was given the contract to develop KSP2. As a result they changed name from Uber Entertainment to Star Theory.
In 2019 KSP2 was officially announced as a full (non-early access) game with a release date set in 2020.
In 2020 Take-Two pulled the contract from Star Theory, leaving the company insolvent. Most of the employed were hired back by Take-Two to form Intercept Games.
After some delay from the studio shakeup, work continued on KSP2, though it was further slowed by covid throughout 2020 and 2021.
In 2021, development on KSP1 officially ended and some of the devs there reportedly went to work on KSP2. Though I'm not sure how much that actually worked out.
In late 2022 KSP2 was announced to release in Q1 2023 as an early access title.
In 2023 KSP2 released into early access in an abysmal, essentially unplayable state.
Throughout 2023 the game was slowly patched to fix bugs and performance, with virtually no content updates.
At the end of 2023 the first milestone update was released that brought the game up to a fairly decent state, though it was/is still lacking in comparison to KSP1.
Finally in 2024 we get news of Two-Two closing their only presence in Seattle and laying off 70 people, which can only be Intercept Games.
passion project turned into cash grab shitshow with mismanaged development. got you.
unfortunately many such cases.
You forgot the part where ksp2 arguably became a malware flooding your windows registry to the point that if you started it too many times it would fill up and the game wouldn't start anymore
Kino, a dumpster fire of utter purity
>pre launch promises like colonies and interstellar travel nowhere near close
It needs to be emphasized that the sequel has NOTHING that the original game doesn't. Colonies, interstellar travel and multiplayer were the three new additions that justified the sequel, but they never added them.
>Planetary Annihilation
Kek didn't realise those gays were still alive after the shit they pulled, good riddance
FWIW Planetary Annihilation is now managed by a different team made up of modders/players, which is probably the best thing that Uber/Star Theory could have done for it.
do i need the dlc for 1?
This seems to be happening more frequently lately. More and more dev teams are getting shitcanned
I usually dismiss chuds pulling strawmen of publishers replacing devs with diversity hires.
But holly shit. This makes me wonder.
Anon ESG rating was never a strawman
>lady
>Anon ESG rating was never a strawman
rating in on itself wasn't. how chuds used it as a strawman was.
It wasn't you idiot.
Diversity hires are one of the key points of ESG rating.
And in the mind of the suits the fast and easy investor cash is better than hard earned profit from products made by competent people.
imagine being so moronic that you parrot your youtube e-celeb opinions.
grim existence. do you even understand what stands behind those 3, so feared on this board, letter.
Not everything revolves around ecelebs you brainrot zoomer.
Larry Fink and Blackrock has been fricking everyone up the ass since 2008 economic crisis. Frick, he basically supported it.
I don't give a rat's ass about what they want you to think they are doing with ESG when i clearly see it's effects on the industry.
Sweet Baby was just the tip of the iceberg.
Now back to resetera/discord/reddit or whatever shitty think-thank you crawled out of.
>easy investor cash
If you think about it it's even worse and worse will be. "Go woke go broke" almost never worked and never be because of 20 trillion dollars emission in Covid years. Big business, banks, investment trusts have a shit load tonn of money. They have to buy something with it or invest it. So ~~*THEY*~~ invest it in DEI-ESG-SJW-Schwab-Gates-lefty companies and it will continue at least for 10 years.
10 years of shitty games, destroyed IPs, broken companies.
Good luck being perpetually enraged at imaginary enemies then.
I guess in your situation there's nothing more left to do.
Meanwhile the rest of not mindbroken people will continue enjoy games and gaming in general, while you keep raging and fighting your imaginary wars.
>Literally admits to being wrong
>Still holds onto his delusion that the world putting more and more clown make up aroumd him is "imaginary"
How do you not forget to breathe if your IQ is low enough to effortlessly hold such comically contradicting and absurd beliefs?
>your imaginary wars.
Name one new western game IP with white hetero male protagonist.
How does it feel to suck the dick of multi-billion dollar corporations fricking with the world's economy?
>I usually dismiss chuds pulling strawmen of publishers replacing devs with diversity hires.
You homosexual actually exist? I thought you were all just ragebaiters, but a ragebaiter wouldn't admit that he is wrong. I can't believe you are THAT low IQ. I'm so sorry for your situation, man.
it's fricking moronic. i remember first finding out about ksp in 2012 and i'm pretty sure all the devs were just older white guys.
>This makes me wonder.
That makes you chud, lil chuddy. Stop noticing things!
once again id like to state for the record that i would marry the lady with the heft on the left.
grim
From left to right: Woman, man, man, woman.
Also there are a solid 6 chins in this image.
ksp-iggers get rekt
[spolier] I am actually very sad I use to love ksp back in the day. I refused to play again after they required agreement with a new terms of service to download what was supposed to be a drm-free installer. I wished ksp the best, this is a tragedy [/spoiler[
KSP1 is still drm free. You don't have to use the launcher.
anon, just pirate ksp1, its in a very good state after so many years of development
and it you want something more, it still have fricktons of mods to try out
i would especially recommend RP-1 (a career modpack for RealSolarSystem and RealParts) and Principia (proper n-body gravitation).
The guy in the middle is caught between the other two's gravitational pulls.
>kill KSP1 because it's spaghetti code and you can't do what you want to
>make a sequel with even worse code
They deserve to be fired. Frick it took them close to year just for the rockets to not tear themselves apart on launch.
>average poly relationship
Now lads, we all know it takes time for the brain washing to break. He's only just started to notice things he's not supposed to. He'll be in denial for a good while yet. The longer it takes the bigger the chud he'll be when he does finally snap.
So you cannot name one new western game IP with white hetero male protagonist?
Of course you can't because there is none. Thanks to DEI-ESG-SJW-Blackrock-Schwab-Gates-leftism.
man, you're deep in this.
do you also believe that the earth is flat, and moon landing was a hoax?
Why are you asking him? He's the one agreeing with us that the denier is brainwashed. He knows the real situation.
So is it cancelled again after them saying they weren't going to cancel it even though they fired a bunch of people in their seattle office?
At this point, who cares? KSP was a product of its time back when atheism, science worship and hipsterdom were cool. It's time to move on. I moved on 8 years ago.
>he doesn't think this is the tightest shit ever
get the frick out of my face man
>tightest shit ever
Are you a boomer or are zoomers coming full circle?
I'm going to make the female Kerbal beg for human wiener and breed her accordingly.
Man I wish someone would leak the KSP1 sourcecode so they could finally make a proper RSS fork.
Is the general still banned?
It was merged into /egg/
It's crazy that /egg/ is the only place in the world that even acknowledges the existence of some games. The only game with any popularity on /egg/ is Factorio. I wish From the Depths was popular.
Maybe ill go back to /egg/ and start learning how to play FtD (again).
Got burned out when i tried to make a colossal main base or whatever that was called and after 10h of work when setting up the ai controls for it i notice i used the wrong designation for what it was going to be.
RIP, are you caught up with the flamethrowers and fire damage update?
I havent played it for 3(?) years due to a medical condition that greatly lowered my mental capacity.
I moved it to /vst/ recently
Why was it banned?
Imagine being one of the marks who ate the 80 dollar early access fee
So what's the best place to pirate this?
Why would you want to? Ksp1 is still better than where 2 got
That is correct, but I would have liked to try it at least once. Especially plane building looks fun.
It's really not worth it. They fricked up everything and have mostly failed to fix it. Just mod the shit out of 1.
1 is such a laggy broken piece of shit too. It gets even worse with mods.
KSP1 is still old enough that you can brute force your way through the spaghetti code with modern hardware. I had a lovely little save where I built a colossal munar science station with tons of parts and lights and it was able to handle it reasonably well. KSP2, on the other hand, brings even the highest-end machines to their knees.
It's shit like this that made me not buy No Rest For The Wicked; Private Division is super fricking untrustworthy.
