Notes:
There were an insane amount of changes over the 12 years to fit into a 20 minute video - same goes for number of mods. I highlighted the changes I felt were most important, but many were left out. If you want to read, check out the full version history! wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/w...
When referring to version dates, I use the date of the last minor patch for the major version. Sometimes this can be months after its initial release, but this way any changes during the minor versions are accounted for. Two exceptions are made, the release date of KSP 1.0, and 1.12, due to being very important dates.

It's honestly kinda of interesting seeing that how the game looked in 2011 largely hasn't changed in 12 years - the UI is all the same, textures increased and changed but the base hasn't changed a bit! It's about time for a new take I'd say (:
@TDChannelKSP Рік тому
Yeah, on the surface it's surprisingly similar! I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it. (well, KSP1 is at least a little broke, but the UI *works*)

@TexanMiror2 Рік тому
Wow, well done! A great overview to an amazing journey from a simplistic indie game to a fully-fledged space simulator! The value of KSP as an educational and science outreach program cannot be understated. It did what Orbiter couldn't do: make even casual people enjoy spaceflight on their computer. I still remember the early days of trying to fly through the soup that was Kerbins atmosphere back then lol For people who went a bit deeper into what KSP could provide, however, that tribute to the modding community seemed like the most important part. Especially the parts you didn't even show: all the engineering, control, aerodynamics, overhaul, backend, and tech improvement mods, some of which fundamentally change how KSP can be played, by massively expanding what the game is about, and what it can support (like all the visual and part mods). KSP is one of those games where the support of modders was just as substantial to its success as the game developers themselves, and it really shows. Like the game, the modding scene also had its rich history, with some very important mods coming and going.
@TDChannelKSP Рік тому
Absolutely. KSP is an incredible tool and resource for getting people hyped about space, or just understanding orbital mechanics! Yeah, KSP has seen a tremendous amount of change under the hood. Honestly, the history of mods - from good old Sunday Punch and C7 aerospace parts pack to KWRocketry and Kethane, it could make up an entire video. Old mod versions are a bit trickier to hunt for with dead forum links and dead download sites :(

It's so crazy to see how much the game has evolved...I was just short of 14 when I got into KSP and now I'm finishing a master's degree in physics. I'm about to turn 25 this year and I probably wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am now, if it wasn't for this game. Really looking forward to KSP 2 and I'm probably as hyped about the prospect of interstellar travel, as I was, when different planets where announced all these years back.

I own KSP 1 and do not own the sequel yet, but considering you seem to know what you are doing, I had an idea to test out if you will. Try and build a centrifuge that rolls in circles on the ground to gain the boosted speed you need at the beginning, then unclamp and launch forward. It allows you to utilize even more of the limited space you have. Best of luck.

@attilavs2 Рік тому
I picked the gmae up in early 2018 ( still remeber the old parts !) and kinda stopped to play other games, only really managing brute force orbit/ sub orbital spaceflight and planes, playing it sporadically, not improving. Then when the game was free kon the ES store i installed it on my laptop, and now with time (during school breaks ) i put 2-300 hours in a month, and started a career, going to orbit, the mun, docking two vessels in orbit ( all of that without maneuver nodes) then minmus, and i managed to send a orbital probe to eve, then an atomspheric one (underwent rapid unplanned lithobraking, was suppposed to land), Duna orbital probe (+ike flyby) then Duna ground probe. Then i did a kerbalism science game, doing the same things (exept docking) up to minmus, where i only did a flyby because of engine reliability. I guess all of those years of tomfoolery finally paid off.
