[@professordey]

Not gonna lie, I find the argument of 'oh if they use kittens it'll be treated as too much of a cutsie kids game and not be taken seriously' to be incredibly assenine given how silly and cartoonish KSP has been from the very start, its the very heart of the charm of KSP. I understand having a preference for something a bit more unique, but ultimately kerbals are just frog people, so why isn't cat people an equally adequate option given they thematically are obscessed with causing chaos and getting to the highest point they possibly can. Yes just straight cats with nothing else creative to them is limiting in terms of brand identity, I'll recognise that, but there's still quite a bit you can do with the concept. The Betelgeusians from Space Dandy are a great example of how you can make things unique and characterful while still taking the base idea of 'Cat'.

[@jacobely6826]

i think the main difference is, yes, kerbal space program has been "cutsie" and charming in that same kind of way, but it doesnt necessarily READ that way when you're just browsing through steam and see "KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM" its intruiging enough to at least click on at which point, regardless of how cutsie it looks, it has its physics on display and will hook anyone interested in that kind of thing. i think what matt was saying with KSA is that people wont even give it a second glance, they'll see "Kitten space agency" whilst browsing on steam and just write it off as a kids game and not even probe any further.

[@MattLowne]

Yeah or Palicoes from Monster Hunter. Just not straight-up "kittens" or "cats" was my point, people will see that as the primary draw of the game, not the Space bit. KSP worked because Kerbals weren't a thing to begin with, and aesthetically they fit with the idea of it being a space-game first (they were literally "little green men")

[@NathanTyph]

Agreed. And people forget the KSA is a working title and the final game may not even have cats. It's still in early stages and everything is subject to change.

[@shortwave737]

Didn't they say they wanted there to be more incentive to keeping your astronauts alive though? Kittens fit PERFECTLY with that idea. That desperate desire to keep the cute fluffy creature alive means that when a landing on the moon goes a bit... funky.

[@DavidEdwards9801]

kerbals are a fictitious alien species, Kittens are Very real

[@SherrifOfNottingham]

@@shortwave737 The thing with Kerbals was that there was a sort of implied characterization to them, a sort of consent to being in the dangerous situation. We see the rockets we build as their own inventions, we build silly rockets THEY take seriously. The problem with Kittens (beyond the technical limitations of trying to get an anthropomorphic cat into a space suit without going too goofy or too... floofy?) is that it's a pre-existing creature with its own personality and characterization, one that doesn't really seem like they would decide to climb into a rocket. Unlike with Kerbals who will easily take credit for our insane creations, we have an animal we are stuffing into our rockets with a greater perception of them being unwilling participants. The thing is making more safe rockets is on the person playing, if they want to incentivize keeping them alive they'd make game mechanics to support it, like a better building system, or actual consequences if you lose them. A guilt trip isn't going to work, all it will do is make people recoil from their mistakes making the game feel less fun when you fail. You don't want to use negative stimulus to discourage dying, you want to focus on positive stimulus to encourage success. Having a challenge, a barrier, like a financial burden or lack of new applicants works far better than giving people a bus load of children that will die if you fail.

[@JTelli786]

The kitten thing about KSA doesn’t bother me, what does bother me is that it seems that they’re going to be using our actual solar system. I (and most of us) already know our own solar system. We live here, we’ve explored it. What really brings me into KSP is the mystery of a fictional system. Why is Jool green, how does Laythe have surface water, etc. Fictional solar systems are just 100x more fun imo.

[@screamingeagles2670]

They are almost certainly not gonna use the real life solar system. They are only using the real solar system in the dev phase so they can cross check their simulation against a real world analogue. They said as much in a red dit post. I’m guessing they’ll have both a solar system and a fictional system on release, or at least real life solar system as a dlc. No point putting in all the work to just throw it away.

Do we know for sure that the KSP IP went with Private Division? The press releases that I've found have been a bit vague on the subject. I mean, I'd prefer that it did, because PD will at least have more interest in doing something with it that T2 will...

[@Greippi10]

There's no reason to assume KSP didn't go with the rest of them, even though they didn't specifically mention it. When T2 talked about this when they released their Q2 numbers they only singled out No Rest For The Wicked which they will "continue to support". For the rest of them they said they sold their "rights to substantially all of Private Division’s live and unreleased titles".

I have high hopes for Rocketwerkz. Their other game, Stationeers, is doing quite well and being updated often.

The problem with finding a mascot for any KSP clone is that there are certain requirements. You want something anthropomorphic, it needs two legs and two arms to make sense with human-like capsules for explanation. You want something not human-like in colouring, because natural skin tones would be off-putting. You want an expressive, which means a relatively large head with huge eyes and a hige mouth. Basically, you want a Kerbal. Anything you choose will need to resemble a Kerbal. It can be blue or red or purple, but to KSP fans it's going to look like "Mum: we have Kerbals at home. The Kerbals at home:" I think kittens are pretty cheesy, but going for an anthropomorphic animal is probably the best way to avoid the looking like a cheap imitation. (But we all know penguins would be cooler)

Dayum! Have not heard of Kitten Space Agency until now but definitely seems worth keepeing an eye out for...

I demand apes! Like an inverse planet of the apes where the primates have to go forth and find Neanderthal man or something.

Let me guess, it's the booster you're taking into orbit and the Shuttle will stay on suborbital? But It's not as ambitious so idk

I imagine a cute brokkoli called Jebediah being the protagonist of a game called Herbal Space Program.

It would be funny if Elon bought ksp
