    Reminds me of the KSP2 fiasco. Management insisting on reusing the engine from the old game, and firing all the senior devs who could have told them there was no possibility of getting the features they’d announced to work without rewriting the engine from scratch.

      It’s so sad what happened with KSP2, we were all so excited at the start. I’m glad I didn’t buy it though

            Career mode was all I ever played, really. It gives you more limits on what you can build, so just adding more delta-V isn’t a possible cop-out for all missions.

            Do people not? I love the challenge of designing efficient craft that can complete multiple missions at once!

          Sure they didn’t plan to add one? I was devastated when they didn’t even have science at first, and of course all the bugs.

          Slay the Kraken? More like return of the Kraken.

          The roadmap seemed good, but it was too good to be true. Im still excited for multiplayer, but it won’t happen

            I haven’t actually even looked at it in a while, but at the time the official word was that they weren’t going to add it

      They also wouldn’t allow the new devs to talk to the old devs, so they had to figure out the old codebase for themselves.
