Early Access for Kerala Space Program 2 will close on February 24

After several delays, Kerala Space Program 2 is finally entering early access on February 24, 2023. Developer Intercept Games initially announced that it was working on KSP 1.0 in 2019, but only last week revealed an early access release date for the KSP 1.0 sequel, outlining its expectations in the final 1.0's roadmap. Leads to release. KSP2 is currently available to wishlist on Steam and will also be available on the Epic Games Store, and will cost $49.99.

The original Kerala Space Program is a brutal, rewarding and sometimes hilarious simulation of the complexities of space flight that allows you to build your own rocket, shuttle, rover and other interstellar vehicles. All driven by aspiring Keralites, the little green guys whose unbridled enthusiasm for space flight adds some much-needed profit to your failures.

While a large part of the KSP experience is centered around experimenting and getting things wrong, Intercept Games recognizes some of the pain points of the original KSP, and is working to smooth out some of its rough parts with the sequel. Currently, with the upcoming Early Access release, players can expect an improved user experience with a revamped UI, in addition to new tutorials to acquire new players and a new list of parts to experiment with the onboarding system. Huh. Can, and perhaps most importantly, speed.

The list of expected features at launch is only a small part of the detailed outlook surrounding the KSP2. Post-launch updates include off-world colony building, interstellar travel, and multiplayer options.

Described as "a gateway medicine to physics" by astrophysicist and Kerala expert Scott Manley, KSP has a way of teaching you the meaning of words like "delta-v" and "apopsis." Yes, without understanding. The game allows you to make tons of mistakes and learn from them, a parallel that Intercept Games creative director Nate Simpson knows all too well as the studio prepares for early access. “We are going to do something wrong,” he says, “we are going to fail out loud, and there is no more Kerala than this”.

As a fan of both early and ongoing space exploration, I've spent a lot of time creating (and crashing) my own creations in the original KSP. While it's frustrating at times, I'm willing to admit that I was audibly delighted when I finally managed to make my first high-orbit interception, and I was struck by the little green people who care in the universe. Would love to see Can't wait to send it to the ambitious new generation of
