Kitten Space Agency Launches Pre-Alpha Version
Just over a year has passed since Dean Hall, renowned for his work on DayZ and Icarus, unveiled his plans for a space simulation game designed to rival the acclaimed Kerbal Space Program. Today, his studio, RocketWerkz, has made the pre-alpha version of Kitten Space Agency available for download at no cost.
Incredible Team Behind the Project
The development of Kitten Space Agency boasts a talented team, including Felipe Falanghe, the original creator of Kerbal Space Program. Notably, Stefan Moluf, a former SpaceX flight controller, contributes his expertise to enhance the authentic simulation experience. Additionally, several prominent members of the Kerbal modding community have joined the project, enriching its development.
A Mission to Inspire
“Kerbal Space Program inspired a generation of people to be interested in space, ” stated Dean Hall, CEO of RocketWerkz.“With Kitten Space Agency, we aim to carry that legacy forward. It’s our belief that the first individuals to land on another planet will likely be motivated by games like KSA. We recognize that games play a vital role in fostering interest and trust in scientific disciplines.”
Features of the Pre-Alpha Build
In its current pre-alpha state, players can journey through Earth and the Moon, conducting space maneuvers within a test solar system, all without experiencing loading screens. This immersive environment highlights the game’s commitment to a seamless gaming experience.
Innovative Development Foundation
Developed using the in-house BRUTAL engine, Kitten Space Agency promises a blend of accurate physics, intricate engineering, stunning space visuals, and extensive modding capabilities. Hall emphasizes a commitment to “radical transparency” throughout the development process, which will be supported financially by the community.
“Contributions fund ongoing development, future features, and the necessary infrastructure for open development, ” Hall explained.“However, this project is about more than financial support; it’s a collaborative effort where people are actively testing, refining, and enhancing it. It’s a shared mission in every sense.”
