Kerbal Space Program is now feature-complete<\/a> and out of early access. The sandbox space agency sim by Squad now has and actual game to go with its physics playground and the developer feels confident that the game has reached a point worthy of being called a 1.0 release. In recent Reddit discussions with fans, Squad confirmed that they will continue updating the game for free for as long as they can, and that they would not sell DLC unless it was “something huge that adds a lot of gameplay” like a more traditional expansion. Among the features of the 1.0 launch<\/a> are a female crewmember, an overhauled flight model, a new heat sim, fairings for rocket construction, and resource mining.<\/p>\n

Kerbal Space Program has been endorsed by NASA, Elon Musk of SpaceX, and the European Space Agency. The game is available on Steam<\/a>, GOG<\/a>, and the official KSP site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
