Kitbash Model Club is a Kerbal-like game about making models
Not Gundam… yet
Curve Digital has announced that they’re helping assemble Kitbash Model Club, a game by Floating Origin Interactive and helmed by Kerbal Space Program lead developer Felipe Falanghe. Previously known as Balsa Model Flight Simulator, Kitbash Model Club is a game about designing and testing out various types of vehicular models.
The trailer that dropped alongside the announcement shows off the various types of models you’ll be making, as well as some of the modes and the design suite. You can definitely see the Kerbal DNA in Kitbash Model Club, as it seems to focus on experimentation. Once you’ve got a built model, you take it out into Wirraway to test them out. While not much is shown in the way of gameplay objectives, it does demonstrate the RC dogfighting, which allows you to “challenge friends.”
I’m liking what I see, and I absolutely love Kerbal, but I feel like I need to see more of what I’m actually going to be doing with these models before I can really get excited. Creation for the sake of creation is something I can already do in so many games, so I’m more interested in what these abominations of model design will be doing.
Fortunately, the store page lists a full career with “paintball combat missions, races, and maneuverability challenges.” There’s also going to be a scenario editor where you can create your missions and share them out. Neat.
Kitbash Model Club is initially eying up a PC release and is aiming to be out sometime in 2023.
