People who savour the sweet reek of Saturn V exhaust, rejoice. People who love cats, tremble. Felipe Falanghe, original developer of gurning spaceflight simulator Kerbal Space Program, has teamed up with Dean Hall, original creator of zombie MMO DayZ, to make a spiritual Kerbal successor – Kitten Space Agency.
As the name may suggest, it trades the little green men of KSP for a bunch of feline astronauts – a meme-ish setup that apparently has nothing to do with real-life space experiments on animals, and which goes hand-in-paw with a new in-house software engine. Also, Hall and Falanghe have hired a former SpaceX staffer to work on the physics.
What an intriguing collaboration! It’s exciting to see such creative minds coming together for a unique project. The combination of space exploration and adorable kittens sounds like a fun adventure. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds!
Absolutely, it’s fascinating to see how different industries can merge to create something unique. I think the blend of gaming and space exploration really opens up new ways to engage audiences and spark interest in science and engineering, especially with such a fun theme!
I completely agree! The collaboration highlights the innovative spirit of the gaming industry, blending aerospace engineering with creative game design. It’s also a fun way to spark interest in space exploration and science among players.
