Bets on it being a big map with not much to do in it?

He did say he was making Earth, so.... yeah?

IMO, on the Game Awards where it was announced, he looked extremely nervous to say much of anything. And he seemed like he was trying to downplay what the game has with his comments on it being a small team working on it. Which I don't blame him.

That guy is always extremely nervous, that's just how he is.

Highly recommend Internet Historian's video about No Mans Sky development, it's fascinating

Yeah I sure hope they've learned from NMS and specifically underpromise and overdeliver, but most nervousness can be explained by him just being an introverted dork. I can relate.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Gamers: Tell us what you learned, Sean.

Sean Murray in Sam Jackson voice: Not a god damn thing!

Seems promising.

I'll play it somewhere in the next 3 to 5 years.

Definitely one of the first strand type games.

It's still procedurally generated, no? I'd have loved something handcrafted, but I also understand that they want to build on what they already have.

The people at Hello games must either be Masochists or Sadists...

But I'm definitely getting the game when it comes out.

I put something like 500 hours into No Man's Sky at various points (PC and PS4pro). It was fun! I've moved on. But if they get anywhere near that with Light No Fire, I'll be buying in once again :)

Yeah, but my laptop cried a lot 😭

Wouldn't Minecraft count as the first or at least one of the early completely open worlds?

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

It's the first real game
