Felipe Falanghe, who was an employee at the Mexican marketing firm-turned-game-developer Squad when he came up with the idea for Kerbal Space Program, is stepping down as the game’s lead developer.
Falanghe does clarify that development will continue on Kerbal Space Program, just not with him at the helm.
The former lead developer recalls a time period where he was unsure of all the power he wielded over Kerbal Space Program, and how he felt any decision he made could “morph [the game] into something else.”
The developer’s post doesn’t indicate if he will be staying with Squad, but does state he intends to continue game development.
