minus-squareByteJunk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·edit-22 days agoI never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure. I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.
minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agolol, RIP Jebs 1 - 48395. But uh yeah, the… the lore is basically: We made some cute little dudes and dudettes that are… possibly animated, sapient fungi? Or something? Anyway they are sm0l and live in sm0l solar system. And they have a space program. And most of the characters are just obvious cutesy knock offs of famous humans in spaceflight. Woo! lol

Dean’s track record is really hit and miss imo, but hey, at least they actually give a damn and try, often with pretty bold / niche concepts.
