Current state of the game?

[One Eye Jack]

I refunded the game early on because of the massive amount of bugs.... how is it now? Has career mode been implemented?

I want the game..... but only after it's fixed.....

Actually I'm still waiting for the first one to get all the bugs fixed..... so... 😆😆😆

[PopinFRESH]

There never was going to be a "career mode".
The only thing implemented since launch was the initial science mode
"The bugs" are most certainly not "fixed"; there is still orbital decay issues, issues with the maneuver nodes and/or the trajectory line randomly disappearing, randomly falling through a bodies surface (particularly near points of interest), the kraken has had numerous babies... etc.

After the sudden shift in communication tone and the change to an EA release, the departure of the Nate R. (lead publisher) shortly after that change, and the pricing / content at the EA release; I was significantly hesitant about the project when it was launched in EA. Like you, I refunded the game within 2 hours after launch because of the state of the game coupled with the above factors; and contextually given the game was in that state after nearly 5 years of development at the time.

As it stands now, it is more playable than it was at launch for sure; but that isn't saying much. It is still far below the playability of KSP1 and with mods there is very little KSP2 offers for that inferior playability. They've fired the incompetent dev team so currently there isn't any hope of the situation improving. Maybe someday Take Two tasks one of their other competent development teams to save this pile of slop but as I've said from when I originally refunded it; I'm not going to bet $50 on it.

The game was unofficially cancelled because all the developers were fired.

Just to be clear: TakeTwo didn't kill the game, the developers failed to make a functional game. It was a mercy-killing.

[Pendejo Naranja]

It should be illegal that this game is still for sale at this (almost) full price.
DO NOT BUY IT. The builders have left a failed game to die.
Luckyly I can highly recomand the original KSP and mods to it. That game still kicks ass

[Zuz]

Don't buy it. The game was abandoned. Development has finished entirely leaving the game in a state of total buggy poor performing disaster that fails to even match ksp1's scope.

[NiceGuy]

Abandoned.

The game is literally dead. There is no one developing it. Reported this game as fraud. Valve refuses to take action. This is illegal on so many levels.

LOL! Hey, instead of taking a dead game that the Publisher is still asking $50 for off the market, instead it is getting pushed in their front page, "Space Exploration" sale.. how is this not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ criminal??

At full price mind you. Games not on sale shouldn't be allowed in clearly intended big sales.

steam needs to be held accountable for continuing to sell 100's of abandoned games that are not even games and continuing to advertise them as alive. At the very least there should be a red tag above games that are sold indicating that development has ceased. Its very misleading and criminal because this is Valves platform and someones making money under fraudulent pretenses. They contribute to these scams, yes scams because they are continuing to sell them and doing nothing to inform the consumer on the main page.

It's not clear what Valve could do in this case. The game is still officialy under development, and always will be. T2 never announces that they've abandoned a game.

For indie games, Valve could have some automated process where if they don't see an update for a long time for a game still in EA, they try to contact the devs. If they don't get a response, they can mark it abandoned. That would probably be a solid 80% fix, and is worth doing. But for EAAA BS games, I don't think it would help.

Beyond broken, and not a single soul is "working" on it. Not that it changed anything as this bad copy/paste is supposedly 5 years worth of "work" but still. Not worth it even if it was free.

theres probably zero communication between the dev team and steam to be apart of the sale. since there are no devs anymore, this game will just sit like this and at this price, until steam wakes up and makes it free.

Changes a random value from 100 -> 101
Pushes out the "Update"

Too easy to cheese.

There is NO way a publisher or developer would EVER do this!
