KSP 2 is Dead, Long Live KSP 1!

KSP 2 is over, the studio is shuttered and the devs have been laid off.
A terrible situation, but one that means it's time to move on. Or...move back. To the original KSP, and at this point, the ONLY KSP! Yep, if Take-Two refuses to let the remaining IG staff communicate then this is what we have to assume, good job corporate lol.

I didn't jump on the KSP2 hype train and from now on, I will only get early access games from indy devs. Sure, there's also no guarantee that the game will come out. But when their budget is smaller and their jobs depend on the game being successful, they'll pour more effort into it and they deserve the money for it. Big corporations like taketwo won't go bankrupt, just because one of their games isn't successful. Just fire a few people that did nothing wrong, kill the project, take the money and run. And of course KSP2 was pretty unique in it's secrecy and covid had an impact on it too. But it's also not the first time, a big brand game just gets killed without reason.

Others have kinda alluded to it but until we get KSP2 development I really want to see a 'standard' pack of mods developed for KSP that basically 'turn it into' KSP2 and I'd love to see you specifically on board and leading that as a project. Ideally it should push the game's graphics quite a lot, but it should *also* add fundamentally new mechanics in a balanced and 'Kerbal" way. Obviously you can already achieve this right now by piecemealing your own mods together, but having it become much more standardised would allow it to be polished a lot more and make it much easier for people to install. There are lots of great examples from past games of 'supermods' or 'epic mods' that are basically this concept, they start as separate mods/parts then get put into the same pack, developed and refined *together* to become greater than the sum of their parts and then the whole thing is offered with an installer for convenient use.

Part of me is hoping they'll open-source what's left, I lived through the Netscape open-sourcing; that was wild, and several other incredible things followed. I doubt it'll happen though; the corporate side of the KSP debacle is completely different to what happened with Netscape and business fashion seems to be turning against open source right now. I think a bit of closure would be good for many of us, even those like myself who never bought the game. There's the real Minmus! 😃I'm being silly, -KSP2's- _the other_ Minmus is great too, but this Minmus looks like a part of Mercury's terrain. I can just imagine an April Fools scientific paper considering what would happen if a moon really were made out of mint ice cream and placed in Earth orbit, likely concluding that _the sublimation of various volatiles_ (etc. lol) might make it look like that strange terrain on Mercury, and probably not edible too. 🙂 I certainly like the conversational tone and relaxed style of your KSP voiceovers, Matt. In the _dark times_ before KZbin, I used to prefer books with a conversational tone too. And books don't even have a comment section! I'm all the better for hearing you, Matt! 😉 Fiber-optic isn't that great except for very long-distance cables. Besides, fiber-optic cable is one of those things where it's much easier to manufacture a poor design than the good stuff. Up here in Derbyshire, I was happier with Vodafone's ADSL than Virgin's fiber. Definitely a kerbal touchdown! 😆 I wonder if Ludble Kerman is a composer? I hope he doesn't go deaf. Oh LOL! The log flume! Sorry to _laugh at your agony,_ Matt, but I can just imagine doing the same myself! 🤣 And then going on all the roller coasters afterward. Swooshy supersonic maneuvering! 😀 Words! 🙄 -pilar- pillar

Rip KSP2

[@dadolphinplayz]

the only reason why i still have hope for ksp2 is because there were 4 development branches added to steam yesterday

[@MilkySubstance]

Its not wise to get your hopes up with KSP2. The devs will push their last batch of fixes into the game before the studio closes in June, then the game will be abandoned.

[@robyn051]

Don’t do that to yourself just accept it’s dead. This is always how it was going to end if you’re familiar with their previous games

[@pappi8338]

Forget it before you become Hollowed

[@irman_43]

hay look at the news, 'The head of Take Two Interactive assured that neither the devs of Kerbal Space Program 2 nor OlliOlli were closed. He also admitted that the company saved 165 million dollars (instead of the planned 100 million) under the previously mentioned cost reduction program, which has just begun to be put into effect. However, "nothing was shuttered."

[@MRannikko]

Thank you Matt!! I was planning to write at the end of this video that could you do a video release how to modify KSP one. :) But you did say it already! :)

[@Bulltoad_Real]

23:00 for interstellar mods, I'd recommend kerbal star systems 2, kcalbeloh system and outer planets mod.

[@RpattoYT]

Your KSP mod video should be titled: How to Develop KSP2 Better Than the Dev Team. Then just present all the mods and modders they should have imported and hired 5 years ago.

[@dragmahk]

What I'll miss the most is the UI and the menus and the music. I'm gonna be eaten alive by saying this but I think its way better than the base KSP UI and fits the theme very well.

[@GrasshopperKelly]

The worst part about all of this... KSP 2 poached so much of the KSP team away... then fired them. Nuking Squad's staff.

[@BlackVoidAA]

If KSP2 is dead they should at least release what they have done with colonies, interstellar etc. for the modding community to complete the game

[@ILikeBlackholes77]

Fr

[@CapitaineNautilus]

Indeed, they were supposedly just a few weeks away from finishing colonies before ksp2 got into early access, in 2023... I suppose it's just too buggy at the moment and would only make the game crash.

[@Corvus.2606]

@@CapitaineNautilus so no change from the current release then...

[@M1PAC]

Matt , thanks to YOU and Scott Manley . I got KSP 1,I WAS going to get ksp 2 ( they now don't deserve capitol letters ) and have enjoyed making my own stuff.

[@sasl6987]

i loved how you said "boop" right when you started circularizing !

[@Sock-is-Epic]

I never liked* KSP2 much because it took Matt away from KSP. He is now my favorite KZbinr again. Thank you, Matt❤

[@quentinG_9841]

Really looking forward for your video about making KSP1 look like KSP2. I hope it’s for soon!

[@eliadsetts3615]

Matt: How are you Doing? Advert:NOW NOW NOW

[@chrisdenmark]

5 star video because of the addition to your bruised rib story! Sorry to hear you were in pain, but great story.

[@Gontarekt]

10:30 On the topic of the dialogue of your videos, I do really like the 'conversationalist' tone, it makes the video feel like you're just along for the ride, viewer and youtuber both enjoying the game together. Admittedly, I also enjoy having the dialogue running in the background whilst I'm playing KSP myself, just as a bit of background noise :P

[@greenwizard2000]

dayum Matt your commentary was REALY all over the place this time! I absolutely loved it! xD

[@CaptTerrific]

10:55 I'm just terrific, thanks! Glad you're doing well :)

[@newgirlde]

I've learned so much about ksp mission oriented design from your videos. I've been eager to see a return to ksp1.

[@Skoran]

I learned how to build an SSTO because of your videos! Love the return of the SSTO.

[@ivolol]

Your best videos are always ones you can be passionate about or have fun with. You recently did some videos rescuing 'famous creators' in KSP2... What would you think of another one doing that with KSP1 creators (might have *some* of the same faces, but a collab is always fun!)? Perhaps let them design some of their scenarios they got into trouble with, to surprise you. Would be nice to have some collaborative cheer to spite the current situation's vibes.

[@Alxium]

I've taken to the RSS mod. It's a whole new level of challenge but really fun. Honestly, with the modding scene, KSP 1 can be KSP 2.

[@TheHutchy01]

It's nice to hear Matt also does that thing where you gesture while talking in a purely audio format which I'm a swine for.

[@autumnwinter3639]

this was all part of a big conspiracy to get matt to play real solar system

[@pizzainc.1465]

The orange tanks are actually not just for visual flair in real rocketry, they are orange because of the insulation

[@PhantomFly_Br2]

Thank you for making videos, it makes me forget about my hiper oppressive parents.

[@Nick-zp4zp]

Matt Lowne just casually built something better than I understand just warming up to get back into the game.

[@saintg4fun829]

Don't forget to save a clean KSP copy somewhere safe and leave it unmodded. It's only a matter of time before Take2 does what corporations always do... KSP1 Revolution! Let's make it bigger than it ever was. Make our own KSP2.

[@sharkbite1686]

We need a latest and greatest must have mods list video for KSP1!

[@spacefurby-bg3sf]

Hay Matt Lowne keep up with the amazing content, and what do you prefer KSP, one or KSP, two

[@Immortalcheese]

For your final KSP2 Video you should do an opposite of the blunderbirds. Fly a monument to Eeloo as a final grave and resting site for KSP 2, with no way to return

[@crabbyschadow5478]

I'd love to see a full planet pack series where you learn the new planets

[@Wrangler-fp4ei]

As for the future, do what makes happy. I would love to see you keep Space This Week, it's own thing. Its really insightful, you usually capture stuff other channels miss. Given the mod potential of KSP1, who knows? You could explore it more and maybe long enough that modding for it will resume. I not played KSP2, perhaps it could be modded? Wishful thinking? Hope you find way forwards, Matt

[@GonePh1shing]

I'd love to see you do a proper modded science/career mode playthrough. I've never really seen you do a whole lot with any (non-visual) mods, so that could be something cool to explore. It'd be really cool to see you do some content with the USI suite of mods (Plus other supporting mods like EPL, CTT, and Near Future mods by Nertea). Maybe have a look at the outer planets pack or even one of the interstellar planet packs like the kcalbeloh system.

[@johnrickard8512]

I can imagine the astronauts watching the antics of KSP2 and laughing, knowing full well about their growing pains early on. I think we can officially say that KSP is a game which does the impossible

[@DiamondOrPoor78]

I never even knew there was a KSP 2, but then again I haven't even played KSP 1 in years

[@Kaoru_Kensaki]

I look forward to the "How to turn KSP1 into KSP2" Video!

[@Diego-lf7dm]

I will never be as good as landing back on the same runway lol. that is just mindblowing to me lol

[@louissivo9660]

Thanks for returning to the game that started it all, KSP 1! Very sad about KSP 2, what a mess!!! But at least we have the base game and the mods and folks like you to show us what can still be done with it. Looking forwards to more vids from you.

[@cydonius99]

Dodged a bullet not getting KSP2. I look forward to future KSP1 vids and hope you take it easy on that bum rib!

[@TheKnightTim]

10:54 I'm great thanks Matt, I just launched my very very mission to the Jool System with a probe for each planet, and another first time mission to Duna. 5 rockets launched one after the other to Duna: 1st with communication network, 2nd small sat network for easter egg hunting using the Kerbnet, 3rd for ore scanning, 4th with rover for crew, and the 5th is the Apollo Style crew mission once everything else is set up. Can't wait! How are you?
