RocketWerkz develops Kitten Space Agency as spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program

RocketWerkz, the studio behind Stationeers and Icarus, is developing a new game called "Kitten Space Agency," which aims to be a spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program. The project is led by Dean Hall, creator of DayZ, and includes former KSP developers. The game will feature off-world base building, life support systems, and multiplayer options. It will use real solar system data for testing but plans to create its own solar system. The initial version will be free, with no digital rights management. Hall has expressed confidence against potential legal challenges from Take-Two Interactive, the rights holder for KSP. He welcomes any lawsuits as publicity for the game, which aims to capture the essence of KSP while adding new features.
