SFS 2 News

[Kosmos419]

WEEEEEEEEE HAPINNES AT ITS PRIME

Altair should make a post about this on importante new

 

[Dahzito]

Please, be careful with the spam, we are all excited for it but we (community) still have to follow the rules.
Y'all could have condensed those posts into a single one.
Also, there is actually no need to make this thread since there is actually another were these things where already discussed and said.

Edit: also, Stef said that they will still be updating the game so there will actually be SFS 1.6 and future updates. So basically SFS 1.6 is not a lie

Edit 2: here is the thread I was referring:
Potential SFS sequel confirmed?

 

[Kosmos419]

Ok

 

[TheMacTester]

This is a very intresting update, also, i see u poodle engine, lol,

 

[EmberSkyMedia]

Yep... and its looking glorious!

 

[Unaided Asymmetry]

I want answers, how are normal and antinormal burns gonna work? Are they gonna do a Juno and copy it from KSP? How procedural is the stuff? Will there be aircraft? Will there be DLCs, or pay-to-play? WILL THERE BE ROTATORS? How about something like vizzy or cal controllers? I want all the answers and I can't sleep because I dont want to waste 16 more dollars on an overpriced mobile game!!!

Will SFS2 have its own separate community (its own discord, reddit, forum, etc) or will it coexist with the current community?

would be awesome if there was the ability to build on the inside to make custom space station interiors

I will voice my worries here, because this will definetely impact SFS itself.

I sincerely hope that support won't end after 1.6. I sincerely hope that the game that has been with me for 5 years, almost 1/3rd of my life won't end like this, fundamentally unfinished, fundamentally needing what was promised and what was asked for by the community. I hope the sequel won't end up like it's mate over at... Whatever studio was making KSP 2, unless it would mean survival of the original.

I don't want to say i've been dissappointed by this, i didn't want to say that when Steam version came out, maybe this time will be the same, maybe i'm worrying for nothing, time will tell.

(I wrote this before i saw the stef message, some doubt still remains)

Honestly, I think that it will never happen that the game is considered "finished", you will always find something new to add (or improve). You could add astronauts, oceans, "Vizzy" and so many things...
I see it with the mods, even if the major mods are basically done, there are still new ideas and updates, this is never totally finished.

Would be nice if there would be a sfs1 and sfs2 subforum similar to that of ksp forums

I also wonder if bp/planet editing would stay the same

Spoiler

I can already imagine the difficulty of making heigtmaps

Idk, I can link the message and channel that Stef posted on discord, but the video I'm not sure.
Just a second

This is like.. all sneak peeks rolled into one.

Taking the game 3D is exciting. I can't wait to try the new game, seeking what 2D environment can't achieve, in rocket building and exploration.

I also have concerns. The UI screen could be cluttered with controls, buttons and flight data, which could be annoying to smartphone players. It also can be resource hungry, with 3D environment and advanced graphics.

Can't really get the verdict before actually trying the new game though, those are just my thoughts.

I hope SFS1 still in the Dev Team's attention. In my opinion, it's still the best mobile game, and its potential is not yet fully explored.

I think this answers to your question actually:

 

[ilikespace]

I want to be the first person to throw a capsule into venus on the android version

Lol, there are already people thinking in sending astronauts to the sun...

 

[ilikespace]

I joined discord for a week or so to see sneak peeks so you dont need to

Oh ok, nice.

[ilikespace]

Stef also said sfs2 will release in half a year

 

[GalacticWeb]

I think this answers to your question actually:

Now, I have the chance to finally create an ACTUAL solar system tourism programme. :3
Also, that reply from Stef made my day

 

[Mooncrasher]

Rehosted that clip on my YouTube.
I'm sure Stef won't mind, since it's unlisted, gives a direct link to the discord message and comments are off. I recommend others follow the same practice if uploading clips just for that purpose.

And yes, that is a partial eclipse
And in my opinion the game will have a big advantage over KSP and Juno, if the UI is what it looks like, the super simple SFS UI we know and love adapted for 3D
