Rocketry and Space Exploration CONTEST. [CLOSED]
9 years ago
I'm doing this because I love this game so much and it has brought me so much joy over the hundreds and hundreds of hours I have played this game, I want to share it with people who will appreciate it, have wanted it and for whatever reason may not have been able to get it. I'll even help you live over streams and voice to teach you the game. This game breeds so much creativity.
Prizes include: Steam Key(s) for the game and Artwork done by me*
For those of you not familiar with the game... where do I even begin?
Here's a video!
And! Here's the review I posted online:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Imagine you are the head of NASA and everybody that works for you willingly steps into whatever ludicrous idea you can come up with. Will you send them off to the heavens to explore the far reaches of the solar system or lead them to their demise in a fiery explosion on the launchpad?
The choice is yours...
What kid didn't want to grow up and be an astronaut at some point in their life?
This game deceptively teaches you rocket science, orbital mechanics and physics among all the wonderful explosions and stunning destinations.
The Trial and Error makes learning the game entertaining and fun! (Lots of explosions and lost Kerbals to be had).
For the first several days of playing, I had an ICBM Factory as opposed to a Space Program. Many Kerbals died. A few Youtube videos later (Thanks Scott Manley!) less Kerbals died and with a grasp on how things worked, they began to prosper.
However, the reward and feeling of accomplishment you get from this game is unlike any other I have ever got from a game.
The community for this game is enormous, friendly and constantly active, Youtubers churning out their own stories, tutorials, successes and failures. Developers creating thousands of mods, Forum users pushing the boundaries with weekly callenges, and more.
In regards to mods; you can add things like:
-New Planets/Moons
-Life Support/Cryogenics
-More parts, more parts, more parts ....oh yes, lots and lots of parts
-Colonization/Habitats/Bases/Space Stations
-Boats/Submarines/Planes/Vehicles and everything inbetween (Even more parts!)
-In game tools to give you all the information you would ever need
-New Missions/Contracts
-Combat/Weapons
-Visual beautifications/eye candy/textures
-Malfunctions/In flight repair and damage control/Emergency Escapes
...and many more.
You can play this game any way you honestly wish and make it your own.
Absolutely Stunning Game 10/10.
"The six words you NEVER say at NASA: ... It works in Kerbal Space Program."

I was writing this for a english class but it was during the same time of the contest. I hope you like!

I drew this SPECIFICALLY for this contest.
You late folks lucked out. I'm without internet at home at the moment, so this is the first opportunity I got to log on and check. They will be accepted. Winners will be announced soon.
Mind if I spread the word/signal boost the contest?
Also, what exactly is "build something out of something"?
if you ever need help stremaing, or want to knwo some cool things, tricks, or jsut see how someone else does it, please ask me!
also: for streaming in the professional sense, get the mod HYPER edit. it's a "cheat" mod but it helps you get points across. for instance, instead of taking the time to build a third lander to the moon, exit stages and transfer stages and all, just build the lander, then use hyper edit to put it into an orbit around the mun. it allows you to quickly skip all the stuff that might bore people on a stream if they had to watch it every time O.o
I'll probably not participate, but it's fun to see what others come up with, for sure.
