Kerbal Space Program 2
This is my choice as well. After how much of a disaster KSP2 was, it should be turned over to the public for ownership and control.
It can't be worth very much as IP anymore, as they've killed all the goodwill the brand had. So the least they could do is give back to the community.
To be fair, it doesn't have to literally be KSP2. It just needs to be a Kerbal-like space exploration game with an engine not subject to the various problems KSP has.
Agreed.
That's all it really needs to be. And that's a giant oversimplification, and still a massive ask. But if an open source game had those 4 things, it would put KSP2 an additional 6 feet under, putting it at 18.
I've had my eye on Juno New Horizons. They'd probably not go open source, but they look like they know what they're doing. I might be giving that one a try at some point.
KSA (kitten space agency) might be the next thing
They ended up selling the KSP brand to some random investment company
Thanks I hate it. Can't wait for KSP 3 to be any even more of a disaster.
