Kerbal Space Program Creator's Next Game Unleashes Model Kit Mayhem
Kerbal Space Program designer Felipe Falanghe has unveiled his new game Kitbash Model Club, which is being developed by his studio Floating Origin Interactive. Originally known as Balsa Model Flight Simulator, Kitbash Model Club combines air, land, and sea model-building with a sandbox environment in which you can test out your custom creations in battle.
«RC models are something I have been fascinated by,» Falanghe said in a press release. «I used to spend hours building balsa wood airplane models and inventing things. Creating questionably-engineered contraptions is something I've always had in me.»
