We had a blast and we hope that everyone who joined us did too. Throughout the past week we celebrated the KriSPmas Streaming Event, tons of gifts were given away to the community (which are on their way now). All of the winners of the Steam Awards will be revealed on New Year’s Eve.
On other news, and as some of you might already know, Kerbal Space Program was selected as a finalist for the 2016 Steam Awards! To be specific, we were nominated for The Boom Boom Award and on December 30th at 10am Pacific, the award will be presented on Steam for final voting, so cast your ballots. Moreover, the secret designing, artistic and development stuff continues at an excellent pace and it’s looking pretty awesome, but is still a secret, so you’ll need to be patient… for now. Here’s a gif to illustrate how it works now. In the past edition of KSP Weekly we told you about the struts and fuel line parts that had been updated with a new model that allows you to select both ends of the strut to relocate them and to tweak them individually. Here’s an example of how the localization effort is going: We’re becoming quite the linguists with all the research and work we’ve been doing, we never know what language/character set we will get greeted in each morning. Similarly, programmers have also been involved with localization, looking at the Site name generation and how the generated names may suit other Languages.
Let’s start with the Quality Assurance front, where this week’s tasks have involved lots of localization testing and planning, so you could say that we’ve been brushing up on our Polyglot skills. From the bottom of our hearts we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas together with much happiness today and throughout the New Year! Now without further ado, let’s begin! May this wonderful time of the year touch our hearts in a special way and let’s look into the future with optimism, with the will to do things better and be kind to one another.
But now, during this season of giving, let us take time to slow down and enjoy the simple things. Sometimes it is difficult, as well as overwhelming to grasp everything that has happened and is currently going on in and around the world. Welcome to KSP Weekly, everyone! The year is almost over and in many aspects this has been an interesting year to say the least.
