Nah, they aren't retired, they just got promoted to mission control for all of their great work.

And you only had to pay $7 for the pre-preorder before, so woo for me saving 3 bucks

I thought so too.  Apparently, they reneg'd and you'll have to donate three more dollars for it to still count as preordering.  That, or either them or I fucked up somewhere.

I only donated $7 and can download the new version.

The way the store is set up though is slightly confusing. I had to go into my profile to actually download the game.

When I did it (the really early store version), you had to put 7 as the "quantity" because it was mislabeled or something.

Ah, I couldn't find a download option anywhere, but it said I had already donated $7.  When I donated another three, I got an email with a download link.  Oh well, so it goes.

I would wish i could get this game but i cant buy it.
I WANT TO TRY MULTICRAFT FEATURE GOD DAMNIT

I have been following this game since 0.8 or so

[sluissa]

There are currently a lot of problems still. At the moment, I've got so many parts left over on the pad from rockets that have fallen apart before takeoff that I can't get any more rockets out onto the pad, even with the "cleanup launch area" button. Also, yeah, the legs are way too fragile and in my opinion, too short. They only extend about half way down the engine if you place them right above it. This necessitates a needlessly wide and heavy lander so you can place your legs at the same level or below the lowest engine.

[Aklyon]

Didn't they say that this was a experimental release, though?

[sluissa]

Yeah, I'm not really complaining.

[LoSboccacc]

When they fix the lander legs, I think I will seriously consider buying this.

Sounds like a really fun update.

there is still the preorder discount, if you're interested, probably you should look into that.

So today I tried to orbit Mun...and ended up orbiting the sun instead. I was practically a new planet, having very little fuel left and never quite syncing up with Kerbin. Finally gave up after nearly 500 days going around and around.

15$ for so much fun and FUN is really a great bargain 

In 0.14 the days of leaving your poor kerbonauts lost in space without fuel or parachute to return safety, the new multicraft feature is awesome for rescuing the poor guys, while generating more FUN!

Here is one of my rescue attempts 

Spoiler: My thug ship (click to show/hide)

used to catch that pesky command modules

Spoiler: Approaching disabled Munmission vessel for crew extraction (click to show/hide)

next time I'll fit some brakes or something... maybe...

Spoiler: Im gonna NOM you (click to show/hide)

NOMing in progress, RCS is really great help here...

Spoiler: Twice the crew twice the FUN! (click to show/hide)

To keep my prize inside i used new landing gear, also its impossible to use more than x2 time compression because it resets the pod out of my tug.

Spoiler: FUN begins... (click to show/hide)

Suddenly a Parachute! who pressed the damn button  This of course botches my perfect landing at KerbCannaveral... somehow structure survives sharp pull at 1500m/s

Spoiler: Full concentration (click to show/hide)

Its really hard to control descent wit loosely attached parachute. Also landing gear is clearly visible - no more engine landings (it can be extended/retracted by pressing G)

Spoiler: Safe? (click to show/hide)

Several meters above ground a sharp wind gust throws my vessel sideways! Somehow everyone survives! Unfortunate MunMission crew(top) doesn't look too concerned about all the ruckus outside.

In retrospect the new features (multicraft and landing gear) are both buggy and clunky to use atm but i'm really looking forward to next release and mods! (this flight was done with vanilla parts)

As its stands right now all multicraft info is stored uncompressed in persistent.sfs file so its actually possible to exchange that file to do "DF-like" multiplayer hehe.

[Twi]

Ohai official version, didn't see you there.

Multicraft shall be amaaaaaaaaazing! :3

Good Lord, you've actually managed to do something NASA never has, all without the aid of any actual coupling.  My hat to you, astronaut.

Blargh, I forgot how to screenshot! D:

The Keagle has landed!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Quite a fat keagle, too. Practically a keggle.

Just made a Mun mission and successful return... well, kinda successful, the lander stage fell on the other side of the planet from the space center, the final burn for the powered landing was started too late, and the crew had to ditch the lander and hope the chute opened (some 200 meters off the ground), going just 10 meters/second faster than is safe to land at. Everyone survived, but all that remained of the lander was a single leg, which also promptly exploded for some contrived reason. In retrospect, using RCS could have just helped me enough, but I was too busy watching the speed and altitude numbers count down to remember it.
