I am waiting on proper 1.2 release.

[Aseaheru]

 So, a quadcopter Greiger?

[Greiger]

Yea was a quadcopter, with a winch underneath.

It also had some forward facing plane propellers too, but that did not increase it's cruising speed like I hoped.   Didn't seem to do much at all.  I turned them off when I noticed I was drinking up fuel like water and didn't notice a significant speed difference.

[Aseaheru]

 Gyrodynes(which goolde thinks is not a word) work best when they are mostly plane shaped.

 In other news, i decided to take a lick at developing something VTOL, based off of one of the first synchropters, but with jets instead of rotors.

with 1.2 about to be release, all the remaining devs jumped ship.

Not quite. afaik Roverdude is still working on the game and according to someone on Reddit (who knows how reliable that is) they have other coders hired to work on new features coming down the line, including expansions to the base game.

[LoSboccacc]

allegedly*, and even then, the know-how is gone.

*it's not like squad has a track record of being forward or allowing people to talk their minds.

[forsaken1111]

Oh his recent stream Roverdude was talking about how excited he is about the 'new stuff coming'. He couldn't talk about it in detail due to NDA restrictions but he's said he is now the senior coder on the team, he's quite happy with how Squad has treated him, and that the owners have been very caring and supportive of him. "I wouldn't remain here if I wasn't happy with the job"

That leads me to believe that while people are indeed leaving, Squad hasn't stopped developing the game.

NDA restrictions? Sounds like they're porting to another console, or to VR, there's not much else you'd need an NDA for.

NDA are pretty standard when a new product is being worked on. There was some allusion to 'expansions', which to me sounds like some kind of paid DLC or expansion. That is just speculation though. I wouldn't mind them porting to a console either, it might bring fresh capital which would allow them to keep working on KSP and implementing new features.

I don't think he'd be excited about 'new stuff coming' if all he meant was porting the game to XBOX or Playstation though

It's on all the current consoles. What would they port it to?

[MagmaMcFry]

I don't know, maybe a GBA or the Polybius or something.

Coming soon to Windows Phone

Now let's not be unrealistic.
