There are two videos for the new Worlds 1 update for No Man's Sky, one in a more traditional vein and one where Sean Murray physically opens his ribcage and bares his soul:
By this point, even in a world where Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty exists, we have to say that No Man's Sky is the most rehabilitated game which has ever existed. I don't know if they're selling more copies with these, eight years in, or if this gentle pruning and maintenance of the game and its community is just a good idea for an outfit that wants to remain a going concern. And it's on sale for the rest of the month, which is an opportunity for That Friend - like you Star Citizen friend - to evangelize their Discords fully.
I always worry a little about this Squad, their labors have been so long, but looking at Sean in this video he seems to be in good spirits - he's eating, which is good. And without the benefit of this version of the preview, I wouldn't have known that at least in this case - and perhaps others - we're actually seeing improvements to their technology base that are being made for their next game Light No Fire, about which little is known.
Part of the fantasy in No Man's Sky is that you might be seeing something nobody has ever seen before, even if it's quite strange. Light No Fire seems to have more in common with survival games like Minecraft or Valheim, where the world itself is alchemically generated for you but there's more handmade stuff going on with the creatures and species you encounter, some of whom appear to be bipedal medieval rabbits (?!). You can also fly around on a plump chickadee - a bucket list item for many. I think I speak for everybody when I say "this shit looks fucked up."
They'll own the entire earth if they can deliver anything even approximating this video. Good God.
I'll turn on the streem here in a sec and check out something cool for a couple hours. I'm open to suggestions! Hit me up.
(CW)TB out.
