Hello Games has been hard at work to improve and expand No Man’s Sky. We hope you enjoy. :)
Thank you so much,
Hello Games
Good to see the redemption arc going even further beyond :)
Hol’up. Surprise Alastair Reynolds, ref?
Prob not, but it’s good hard sci-fi, if I may shamelessly juxtapose it here. If not, then I apologize and agree.
I haven’t played No Man’s Sky in a few years. I’m blown away that they’re still releasing free major content. Did they add in game purchases or something? Or are they literally just offering everything for free once you’ve purchased the base game?
“are they literally just offering everything for free once you’ve purchased the base game?”
Yes.
Apparently they made so much money up front with the game, and are such a small studio, that they can just do free updates basically forever and be fine. Plus, each update also brings new players.
Yes but at the same time the price of the game hasn’t dropped below a certain point so they’re probably still earning a little bit off new sales.
I think this is them merging engine changes they’re making for their new game though.
This is almost certainly corresponding to changes made for the new game that they decided to merge into NMS too, because why not? Since they use very similar technology it only makes sense. Improve the previous game, increasing sales, while also generating goodwill with users that prove you’ll work on your games for years to come, all with the only cost being what it takes to integrate stuff you were going to make anyway.
Battle Mechs. Bug hunts. Bug Queens.
I’m from Buenos Aires and I say, kill em all!
Ugh, finally –
Fixed an issue that prevented Cream Fingers from being edible.
Those floating islands with their own waterfalls look amazing, can’t wait to set up a base on one.
I like that they’ve been slowly tackling the lighting/shadow system,
Since it’s a huge task and it’s desperately needed.
