A space oddity.

<span class="bold">Kerbal Space Program</span>, the video-game space simulator, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, with a 25% launch discount!

It's here! Since it first showed up on our gamedars, <span class="bold">Kerbal Space Program</span> has managed to go viral a few times over. Today it hits the big 1.0, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome the ultimate and amazing space-program simulator to GOG.com. With a premise as deceptively simple as "build a working starship", <span class="bold">Kerbal Space Program's</span> success is in creating the perfect blend of realism, ridiculousness, and learning. Learn from the game, learn from the community, learn from your own dumb mistakes. It's a game in which you win when you lose, and win even more when you finally succeed. With fully-fledged, physics-based space flight, a vast solar system of moons and planets, unbelievable customisability, and nearly limitless mod support, <span class="bold">Kerbal Space Program</span> is the one, unique game that everyone should try at least once.

Once you actually manage to launch your ship into orbit, once you're past your first moon landing, and once you step foot on your first alien planet - check out kerbalstuff.com, where over 500 mods await to turn your game up, or inside out, with more tweaks and additions than you can imagine.

Float in a most peculiar way in <span class="bold">Kerbal Space Program</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com! The 25% discount will last until Sunday, May 3, at 4:59 PM GMT.

Cyraxpt: Offtopic, does that actually happens? Extras added to games released previously?

JudasIscariot: Yes it does :)
Hi JudasIscariot,

on the German announcement page it says that Mac and Linux versions will be available in a few hours.
I suspect that that info is not correct.

Tallima: For me, it's the best game I've ever played in my life. And I hope to play it for the rest of my life.
Nice job avoiding hyperbole. ;)

Seriously, thanks for the feedback. The basic premise does interest me. I just have too many games stacked up, including ones which demand a lot of time to enjoy properly.

Mac is already available and the Linux version is not far behind :)

All right, thank you :)
So Linux really isn't available yet.

budejovice: Yes, it happened several times last week alone.

Cyraxpt: Neat, need to check my library to see if something new was added. Thanks.
There may have been more, but if I recall correctly last week Albedo's soundtrack was added (not long after release) and I think there was like a strategy guide for a Paradox game added. (Or something like that...)
This is the carmageddon of space exploration.

Do I want to even know? Are you protesting the broken update notifier? :P
nice addition.... Have on that other game service right now... maybe this will be a future "backup".

Me? Hyperbole?! Never!

Seriously, great game. But it won't get worse with time. Better machines run it better. So take your time getting to it.

But if you have 6 months left to live, you owe it to yourself to get to the Mun and back just once.

And visit your family, too.

P.S. There are indeed mods for multiplayer, multiple solar systems, using the real solar system, etc. All at https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/314/StarSystems

Nice to see it on here, at least for me it´s quite a surprise! Wishlisted for now, as I´m no big fan of that sandbox-genre!
If I understand correctly, Kerbal is the game's Earth. What are the people called?

Actually, the reverse - I'm celebrating the return of the notifications for game updates. Though the avatar change was really prompted by a specific post. :)

Nifty, that definitely adds value and appeal.
