My dreams for the future of Kitten Space Agency 🚀🐱
Hi everyone I rewrote my post that I published a hours ago.
It was deleted because I used Artificial Intelligence to translate the script of the post that I originally wrote into my language.
I want to apologize to everyone for breaking a rule by using Artificial Intelligence. Now I've tried to rewrite the post myself translating my original script by myself without using Artificial Intelligence I just got a little help from Google Translate for some phrases that are a little more difficult to articulate.
In the screenshot I've attached the comments from the deleted post. Added a brief reflection on the use of AI.😁
P.S: I use a lot of emojis it's me, not AI ahahah.
I know KSA is currently in development and is more like a simulator than a videogame. However that does not stop me from dreaming. I am sure that in a years KSA will become an amazing game, capable of exciting me even more than KSP did.
KSP is a super fantastic game but it has its limitations. Here's a list of what I'd like to see in KSA and what features I'll like to see.
I already think the development team is doing a job and I will support the KSA project no matter what direction they choose.
1. Life Support and Stress 👩🚀🎒
As a fan of the Kerbalism mod, I think the life support and stress management settings greatly enhance the game. Once i try these difficulties, they changed my experience completely! Even a simple mission on Minmus becomes much more challenging and exciting. (Note: I've read that this has already been confirmed, Yuppyy!!! :D Wiki Link).
2. Changing Weather ⛈️💨
It might be very difficult to code and program. How awesome would it be if the weather could affect solar panels or the aerodynamics of a rocket. Imagine a storm on Duna that causes a lander to crash because its center of gravity is too high.XD
3. A Better Tech Tree 🔬🌳
In my opinion mods like Unkerballed Start offer a better tech tree than the stock one. I'd love to see something in KSA. It's more satisfying to land on a planet after sending robotic rovers out to explore rather than land with kittens in the very first mission. (Note pt.2 : I've read that this has already been confirmed, Yuppyy!!! :D )
4. Making the Career Mode Meaningful in the Long Run 🏁🔄
In Kerbal Space Program Career mode loses interest after a while. Why would you return to a planet if I've already done the experiments and planted a flag. In life returning to the Moon or Mars is extremely important there are a million reasons to come back. I'd like KSA to motivate me to visit a planet after three or four landings.
How can we solve this problem? Here are some ideas:
- Kerbalism-style science: complex experiments that take a long time to complete (perhaps one or two in-game years) to complete.
- Hidden Easter eggs to discover.
- Complex ISRU (Resource Extraction): a deep system for building self-sustaining colonies that requires a lot of missions to complete. (With a difficulty slider in the menu for players who want a more relaxed experience.)
- Special and dynamic contracts.
Do you have any other ideas?
5. Alien Microorganisms 🦠👾
It would be amazing if KSA decide to and alien microbes to be discover in midle-late game.
Perhaps they could randomly generate in each new save file, making every game different and KSA incredibly replayable!
In my mind, they could be procedurally generated with casual traits at the start of each game. Some microbes could be beneficial (e.g., a bacteria that helps grow food faster in colony greenhouses, or creates a powerful biofuel), while others could be dangerous (a toxic mold that increases kitten stress or degrades spaceship parts).
This would turn biology into a real gameplay mechanic: you would explore planets to find useful microbes to boost your colonies, or you would need to build quarantine modules to protect your crew from alien contamination.
6. Rival Space Agencies (NPCs) 🏢🚀
Do you like the idea of Ai agencies competing against you? They could try to beat you to milestones like landing on Mars first or stealing contracts.
I guess this is very hard to code. It would change the total feeling of the game.
7. A Less Empty Home Planet 🌍🏡
I always felt the Kerbin is empty. There is the Space Center. Nothing else around it: no cities, no nations. Why are the Kerbals here?
I would really love it if KSA will show a bit of the kittens civilization, around the planet just to avoid that feeling of complete loneliness that Kerbal Space Program has.
8. More Kittens job👨⚕️👨🍳👨🔧👨🏫
Scientist, engineer, mechanic, biologist, cat trainer, contracts manager, pilot, worker... How jobs would you like to see?
I have a base of coding but I am not a game developer so I do not know if my dreams are too hard to make a reality.
What do you think? Which of these features would you like to see?
To the KSA Team: you are doing a job keep it up!!!🔥🐾
