I never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure.

I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they're not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.

    lol, RIP Jebs 1 - 48395.

    But uh yeah, the... the lore is basically:

    We made some cute little dudes and dudettes that are... possibly animated, sapient fungi? Or something?

    Anyway they are sm0l and live in sm0l solar system.

    And they have a space program.

    And most of the characters are just obvious cutesy knock offs of famous humans in spaceflight.

    Woo!

    lol

    Name recognition sells stuff. Somebody who loved KSP 1 will probably give KSP 3 a go, at least to a greater probability than an unrelated game in the same genre.

    Dean Hall and RocketWorkz of uh DayZ fame/infamy... are working on Kitten Space Agency... I dunno, maybe they could pull it off?

    Dean's track record is really hit and miss imo, but hey, at least they actually give a damn and try, often with pretty bold / niche concepts.
