Nestor: Making games is very tough, very few games are actually successful and just a small amount still have active players after 10 years of development. Gamereactor: What has developing a game for a decade taught you? What is a piece of information you would pass on to budding developers? As you said, we share common goals with them and there will be a lot of opportunities in the future for collaborations. We are definitely excited about keeping those relationships and growing them for Kerbal Space Program 2 and even further into the future. Several times it has started because there were some employees that already knew about KSP and that has been very helpful establishing those relationships. Nestor: The relationship with NASA and other space agencies and space companies has been wonderful. Gamereactor: You've frequently worked with NASA to both make the game better and to encourage people to be more interested and engaged in aerospace engineering, but how has that relationship evolved over the years, and how can we expect it to impact Kerbal 2? I personally think that KSP has been one of the biggest influences on the space exploration genre in the last decade and the team feels very proud about that. One of our goals has always been to increase interest on space exploration while having fun - seeing us having some influence in other games that have similar goals is rewarding. Nestor: We have seen some specific references to KSP in other games and that's great. Gamereactor: How have you seen Kerbal's influence on other titles over the past 10 years?
That same passion has made it easier to keep players in mind while picking the next features to include into the game and improving KSP over time. I think this success happened thanks to the passion all the people involved with KSP over the years feel for the project. It's hard to believe that KSP was the first and only retail game developed by Squad. The challenges have been different from getting the project started to keeping players engaged by constantly delivering new content.
Nestor: Squad has grown alongside KSP overtime. How has its crazy success affected you as a developer and in your improvement of the game? Gamereactor: Over the years, Kerbal has become a massively popular title. With the title celebrating its 10th anniversary, we caught up with Nestor Gomez, Head of Production at Squad to discuss its legacy and upcoming sequel.

The acclaimed simulator has frequently collaborated with space agencies such as NASA over the years and it has been consistent in providing new updates and improvements (a new-gen console version is even planned for later this year). It has now been a decade since Kerbal Space Program first rocketed its way onto the scene and in that time it has seen some pretty remarkable achievements.
