But if you want to provide a little bit more than 'thanks', then please feel free to contribute - it's greatly appreciated, and it helps me provide everyone with more content. If you are uncomfortable with donations, or cannot afford to right now, then a 'thank you' is always appreciated, and please go enjoy the stuff - it's there for you guys and gals to play with. So if one day I am no longer able to maintain my mods someone else can take over. However, this is softened by being set on the fictional planet of Kerbin, populated by a cute intelligent alien race called the Kerbals. It has very realistic physics and is surprisingly difficult. So, in the idea of using Kerbal as a dot, choosing the Star Theory logo was symbolic, but there is also a reason why the default value of the Kerbal helmet color. Changing the color of Kerbal's helmet was all done at 1 fps, and it was the laggiest craft I ever made. Now while I would still do this for free, I won't kid you and say that seeing some donations makes me want to make more stuff for you (or, at the very least, helps me justify this massive time sink to my lovely wife).Įvery penny from this is used to support the tools I need for content creation, and to keep me in coffee for the late night coding sessions (I generally spend about 20 hours a week making or updating mods for KSP).Īnd of course, everything I create has been and will always remain open licensed. Kerbal Space Program is a space flight simulator that gives you the task of building a rocket capable of taking a crew to the moon. Using Kerbal as a dot was a very stupid idea. But given I have had more than a few folks ask about better ways to help sponsor my work, I am setting this up as an alternative to PayPal (which I hear has caused some problems for folks in certain countries trying to provide support) Just to be clear, I'll still build all of this stuff because the best reward is to see how much enjoyment folks get out of it.

That being said, all of this stuff takes a lot of time (always in short supply), as well as material costs for things like Dropbox hosting, my Adobe Photoshop CC subscription, hardware (I just picked up a new digitizer so I can make you folks some nicer textures), my Blender Cookie subscription, and assets from the Unity store. Whether you've built a base with the Modular Kolonization System, flown around with some of the tiny parts in my Exploration Pack, gone mining with Karbonite, or kicked off a career with Sounding Rockets, you've had a chance to share in the enjoyment that I get from making stuff for the KSP community. If you've played Kerbal Space Program and have taken the plunge into a modded install, odds are pretty good that you've ran accross at least one if not more of the mods I've built.
