At the moment there are problems with logging into the match. The development team is already monitoring the situation and investigating the reasons.

Thank you for your understanding.

Happy Friday, brave Kerbonauts!

A little bit of a slow news day here at Intercept Games as we gather feedback and data from our latest update and continue to work on stability, performance, thermal, and new features. I’ve spent more time than usual over the last week building rockets in the v0.1.2.0 build, and I’m relieved to see that my own personal points of frustration are mirrored in the feedback we’re getting from the community. I know we may sometimes seem remote, or that it may feel like your feedback submissions are falling on deaf ears. Not only are we collecting and reviewing your feedback, but the frequency with which you’re reporting on certain issues is incredibly helpful to our goal of prioritizing fixes. As always, we appreciate your patience as we work down the list and shore things up for update v0.1.3.0.

On the subject of updates: our patch update cadence is going to slow down a little bit. This does not mean we are slowing down development, though!

There are a couple of reasons for this, not least of which is that every time we release an update, we divert resources that would otherwise be focused on continuing to improve the game. We are always balancing our desire to improve the current Early Access experience against long-term goals that involve more time investment. So because of this, our main focus shifts to major features that are in progress, while still working on bug fixes. This is a very personal issue for me, because as a fan I want the game to be perfect and awesome right now! But since genies don’t actually exist, that’s not how we’ll arrive at the best version of KSP2. We will continue to release updates prior to our big Science Feature update, and hopefully a slower update cadence will mean that when they do go out, they contain more robust improvements. We are still working out what that exact cadence looks like, and I’ll update you here when I know more.

Among the improvements that we’re seeing this week here at the studio, our planetshine system has taken a very big leap forward, and the next patch will feel quite different at night. Now, reflected light from planets and moons is much more apparent both in space and on the night side of a celestial body. A little sample of what Jool-light looks like on the surface of Laythe:


This week's challenge: we're building sci-fi spacecraft! There are already some impressive entrants appearing in the Intercept Games' Discord...check this out from @S_Coriolis (on the KSP forums).


That flux capacitor! MWAH!

Have a great weekend!

Today, I am thrilled to deliver the Day 1 Patch for our game. Before that, though, I want to take a moment to talk about yesterday's release.



Shipping a game is a difficult process and comes with many challenges. Despite the bugs and the things we couldn't do, we are extremely happy and excited about our community. We have received so much love and support from our players, and we appreciate the care and understanding they have shown us.

In this update, we have included major bug fixes and some balance changes. We plan to release more updates in the next few days, with the next one planned to be released between Monday and Tuesday. We will be taking a much-deserved break on Sunday to rest and recharge, but we will continue working hard to make the game even better.

Our focus for the next patch will also be on fixing major issues, but we are always open to making quick changes that can improve the game. We hope that these updates will help you enjoy the game even more and continue to be a part of our great community.

Spring greetings, Tourists and Prominence Pros!

Put off the spring cleaning and hit the poker tables this weekend instead! We’ve got spring savings for you now through Wednesday, May 3. Players can take advantage of 35% off on the Boss of All Bosses, Boss and Earner Bundles during this period.

We recently closed the book on our Spring & Easter event, and rest assured we’ll have even more content for you over the coming months. If you’d like a hint for something from our next update, test your mettle on this riddle…

“I light up the sky, but I'm not the sun. I come in many colors, but I'm not a rainbow. What am I?”

Until next time, follow our official social media (Twitter, Facebook & Discord) and community forums for more news!

It's Friday!

I'm technically on leave from yesterday until Tuesday, but I've slipped away to put some time in to get the build ready for today!

It's mostly additional graphics and the odd bug fix. We added some more awesome portraits to the game (You have all the awesome Patrons that pledge on the Captain tier to thank for the portraits, as each Captain gets to add their own custom MC portrait to the game!)



These portraits are now showing up during dialogue scenes whenever your MC speaks. The expressions are static and don't change. I don't have any plans to change this right now, but perhaps we can revisit the idea down the line.

We also added the new animated personal quarters to the game, with additional colour variations for different NPC's (You can see some of them at the start of Episode 2, with the distinction between Veera and Mayvheen's rooms, depending on which choices you made during Episode 1)



(If your Mah'Abeu is a tidy person, they'll make their bed in the mornings.)

I've been putting some contingencies in place for next month, (I'll probably be taking a few weeks off when my daughter is born.) From May, Tae will be drawing a few more extra characters for us every month, and you can also look forward to the very first pin-up design!

We're also starting our weekly polls from next month where Patrons can have more say on what content we'll be adding to the game each month.

To make up for my taking a break, (I'll still be around probably, just less consistently, for shorter amounts of time, and weirder hours), I've been searching for additional writers. It's been a tiresome process, but with the final round of interviews finishing up next week, I'm starting to see some progress. The intention is to have the additional writers stick around so I can add more content on a consistent schedule. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to add an additional 10-20K+ words of content each month if not more, so stick around!

I love all of you to bits, and none of this would be possible without YOU. <3
