Attentive readers may have noticed that I haven’t been posting on this blog very much lately. The reason for this is that frankly, I’ve been somewhat stumped for content. True, I started the theme where I was going to post about assorted forms of excrement I see on Facebook but no sooner did I start that than I found myself too busy to pay enough attention to Facebook to find the really good items to post about and do the bits of research on them needed to make the post good.
Now however I’ve got something that will be a lot easier to post about. Mined you the Facebook Excrement series of posts will continue as I have time, meanwhile there’s something really cool that I’ve found recently.
A relatively new game by an indie game developer known as Squad called “Kerbal Space Program”. In the last few months I had heard about it a few times and the very few screenshots I had seen left me with the impression that it was just another silly cartoon type of game best left to kids.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
A few weeks ago I was looking for something to watch on an unusually not busy evening and because several people whose opinions I considered worth checking out had recommended that I check it out, I found several Let’s Play videos featuring Kerbal Space Program.
I was hooked after watching the first one. Very soon after that I got the demo version (0.13.3) and after playing around with it some and realizing how much time I was spending on it, I decided to start my own Kerbal Space Program Let’s Play.
Those videos will be posted here. This is the first one.
Note: I had some problems with sound at first but those have been solved by episode 11.
You can get Kerbal Space Program here. It is currently in Alpha development which means that you can buy it for only $18 USD. This price will be going up as the program updates until it reaches full price when the full release version finally comes out. This means that the best time to get it is now. That way you get the game at a discount, all updates are free, and when the full version is release you’ll have it way ahead of everybody else.
