Hello all, I’m Johannes Peter – A programmer on Kerbal Space Program 2 – and I love solving interesting problems! The problems we face in game development rarely have a single “correct” answer. The more specialized your game is, the more specialized your problems are, and the more creative your solutions need to be. As...
Hi, friends! I’m Nate Robinson, senior producer on the KSP2 team, and I watched a lot of Apollo 13 as a kid – to the point that I practically wore out our family’s VHS copy. Naturally, I always imagined myself in the role of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert. Every 90s kid...

As you all know, we’ve been working hard to make the best and most authentic KSP sequel possible. This is an ambitious goal. We are making a big, expansive game loaded with new features, but doing so will take longer than we previously anticipated. With everything going on in the world today due to the...
Hi, my name is Shana Markham and I’m the lead designer on KSP2. I’m the “why” and “how” to Creative Director Nate Simpson’s “what.” I work with him to ensure what we’re building meets our vision for the game, and that it results in the most enjoyable and worthy successor we can build. I’m more...
Hi, I’m Aaron Lundquist, the Senior Visual Effects Artist on Kerbal Space Program 2. As an artist, I look at color, composition, and silhouette, but the little green scientist inside me wants to know the how and why. With that in mind, let’s jump on in! On KSP2, a major goal is to expand on...
