#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM DEMO PATCH#
Celestial Bodies now support Biome Maps, which are used to create different conditions for experiments.įull v0.22 patch notes can be viewed here and the video below gives a visual overview.It is now possible to recover a flight after landing/splashdown on Kerbin without going through the Tracking Station.Nose Cones now actually help with improving stability during atmospheric flight.Also added experiments to many existing parts. Added new scientific parts, like the Materials Bay and the Mystery Goo™ Canister (probably best explained in this entertaining video).You can now collect surface samples while on EVA, and process them to do Science.R&D allows players to unlock parts (and later other stuff) by researching nodes on the Tech Tree (In Career Mode).Added the Research & Development Facility to the Space Center.Career Mode is now open! Although still very much under development, you can now start new Career saves.Features Recently Bolted OnĮven though my early attempts to join the space with the demo version have met with limited success, the recent full-version release of a tycoon career mode certainly has me intrigued. However, achieving a stable orbit and/or non-fatal spacewalks is another thing entirely, let alone reaching The Mun. The comical tendency for everything to go wrong and explode spectacularly makes the whole experience quite dramatic and entertaining.Īfter numerous attempts to reach orbit see various launch-pad cartwheels, spaceport divebombs and premature splashdowns, the sheer joy of reaching the inky blackness of space is euphoric (that's not what the picture below led to though, as you can probably tell). Within minutes an unsuspecting Kerbal will be strapped on top of tonnes of explosives built by a clueless idiot (well, certainly in my case). The player can quickly plug together a command module, a fuel tank and some booster rockets. The titular space program is facilitated with a simple drag-and-drop Lego-like construction mechanic which balances authenticity and accessibility very well. Exploring or Exploding, It's All Progress Beyond that they have the entire Kerbol system with over a dozen celestial bodies to explore. Kerbal Space Program takes those dreams of orbiting the Earth, landing on the Moon and exploring the solar system and makes them a (virtual) reality with a comical twist the small steps and giant leaps are being made by the adorably fat-headed Kerbal race who live on the Earth-like planet Kerbin which is orbited by "the Mun".
#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM DEMO DRIVER#
The days of childhood ambition to be a train driver were over, astronaut/cosmonaut was where it was at (well, until Jedis, but that's a space jam of a different flavour let's not get into the Freudian replacement of phallic trains for rockets for light sabres).
