Was a sequel something you'd thought about back when you were with Squad?įalanghe: Oh yeah, it's definitely something I had considered, in fact I even had a logo for it I'd drawn, it was essentially the same logo but instead of one rocket to the left there were two. I'm curious to see how they're gonna handle that, like what their plan is, and more interestingly, how are they going to handle the issue of time-warping in the game with multiplayer? I remember I had my own ideas about that for my own like imaginary sequel, but it's going to be interesting to see what solutions they come up with. In fact, with my own project I'm working on right now we've got multiplayer and there is a very cool construction system that isn't too far from how it was in KSP and there's been a number of challenges to support multiplayer with that in the unity engine. I would think implementing multiplayer in a game like KSP would require designing the game from the ground up with multiplayer in mind. I don't know if that's how they're doing it over there, I can only speculate from here. Multiplayer would have been my main focus, so it would've required pretty much rebuilding the game with multiplayer in mind. So what sort of direction do you think you'd have taken it in if it had been up to you?įalanghe: It wouldn't have been all that different to be honest. I'm not sure but it looks like they've mentioned multiplayer? Maybe not directly in the video but I think maybe on the steam product page or something they mention that there might be multiplayer, but I'm kind of intrigued to see where that goes and how they handle that. If you've read anything about what they're doing with the sequel, is it the direction that you thought the franchise might go in?įalanghe: Yeah, they're taking it to the next logical steps, at least they're adding a lot of the things everyone's always wanted, and we never got a chance to implement, or would've required going for a sequel to implement. If it looks like that then it's gonna be really cool. It was a mix of feelings and I went over multiple opinions of it I think, in a very short space of time.įalanghe: Well it looks very interesting, it looks beautiful, but the one thing I noticed was that the trailer has a little disclaimer at the start it's not game play footage, so from the trailer we don't really know what it's gonna look like. It made me wonder even if the people at Squad themselves knew, I really don't know. I didn't imagine that when I saw this video, it's clear that they've been working on it for a while now, so what I think surprised me most was that it looks like they've been working on it for a couple of years at least and I had no idea. So you didn't know at the time they'd sold the IP?įalanghe: I knew that they had sold the IP to Take-Two, and I knew that they were still working updates and expansion packs so I thought that was the status more or less of the entire thing. At first I was, like, a bit surprised and my first reaction was 'oh, Squad is making KSP 2', and then I saw that it wasn't, they had actually handed it off to another developer. How did you feel seeing the trailer for the first time? What was going through your head?įalanghe: It was a bit of a roller coaster ride of feelings. We caught up with him to find out how he felt when it all got revealed.
