What We're Working On
What happens when the phrase "It's not rocket science" no longer applies to your day-to-day? Your days start becoming more distinct yet satisfyingly challenging! Kerbal Space Program 2 is the much-anticipated sequel to 2015's Kerbal Space Program (KSP), the game that launched a thousand aerospace careers!
To reintroduce the heart of KSP to a new generation of fans, we're extending KSP2 in every possible direction by launching the game forward to a future with next-gen technology, space colonies, and a multiplayer experience allowing friends to build their interstellar civilizations together. We're shuttling players upward to new star systems, improving onboarding, and lowering the entry barrier to usher in a new era of explorers.

- Produce comprehensive documentation detailing the blueprints for the Engineering team. Assist in UI-related tasks ranging from asset creation, animation to implementation into Unity.
