alt3rn1ty Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Update for anyone not following the ARG, it started again (I actually solved getting one of the passwords, but had not joined the Discord before someone else pipped me to the post) .. Not important apart from they usually signal the next round of patches .. Its still a few month away I think (no idea of actual date), but apparently the biggest patch yet is under way. The ARG is kind of hinting at VR being a feature, but just getting another big round of patches will be nice. It will be dropping sometime in the Summer. But this time around the game is also being released for XBox, and for the Chinese Steam client equivalent Tencent WeGame, so the game is going to be gaining a much larger audience / cash = Way more development and further patches beyond the NEXT Patch. I really would not like to speculate on content, but considering their past record of churning out huge amounts of additional code / content aswell as bug fixes .. By the time this drops they will have had a year working on the next patch, as opposed to 3-4 months in between previous big patches ( Foundation / Pathfinder / Atlas rises ). I think during that time they also hired a bunch of ex Peter Molyneux dev employees on to the Hellogames team, so their talent and collective experience has expanded somewhat too. Looking forward to this. Meanwhile "Kingdom Come : Deliverance" is just about to update to v1.4 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt3rn1ty Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Sean is tweeting lots lately .. Quote One day maybe we'll reach a point where we feel No Man's Sky is "done", but until then there's still so much more we want to do https://twitter.com/NoMansSky No doubt there will be a few updates quickly to follow over the following month or two to iron out the minor bugs the world finds, but here's looking forward to the best version yet Multiplayer Team up a small team of friends and explore the universe together, or be joined by random travellers. You can help friends to stay alive, or prey on others to survive. Tiny shelters or complex colonies that you build as a team are shared for all players. Fight as a pirate or a wingman in epic space battles with friends and enemies. Race exocraft across weird alien terrains, creating race tracks and trails to share online. Character customisation allows you to personalise your appearance. Visual Overhaul The game is fully playable in third or first person, both on-foot and in ship. Planetary rings and improved space visuals make space more beautiful than ever. Dramatically improved planetary terrain generation, ground textures, water and clouds bring the environment to life. Significantly more detail added to ships, NPCs and buildings. Unlimited Base Building Bases can now be built anywhere on any planet. Dramatically increased base building complexity and size limits. Hundreds of new base parts. Own multiple bases. Command Freighters Assemble and upgrade a fleet of frigates and command them from the bridge of your freighter. Send your fleet out to into the universe, or deploy them to help you as you explore a specific system. Improved freighter base building allows a truly custom capital ship. Invite your friends aboard and take on challenging multiplayer missions from the Galactic Commision Station on your bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt3rn1ty Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Really trying not to be even slightly tainted by hype, but the following article has upped the anticipation a fair bit : https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-07-20-no-mans-skys-big-next-update-is-big Quote The first, most striking aspect of NEXT is, unsurprisingly, its visual overhaul - and, as the recent trailer will attest, it's genuinely remarkable just how different No Man's Sky looks. Its massively improved lighting, better atmospheric effects, and increased draw distances, alongside a gorgeous new cloud rendering system, improved textures, better water, an optional new third-person camera, and more, combine to create a much more subtle aesthetic. Perhaps more than anything though, it's the newfound sense of scale that impresses, with the game now sporting a more "earth-like" planetary generation system. Mountains tower above undulating valleys, populated by looming trees, larger architectural "props", and notably improved fauna. Creatures feature more nuanced animations, improved AI, and a broader range of sounds, all of which help sell the illusion of life just that little bit harder. Increased draw distance possibly means they have upped the performance enough to expand on the distance - HG have always had a bit of lag with this game (sometimes a lot more than others with some of the older patches which are thankfully history). I had fears that multi-player would make this game go a bit downhill in the performance department, but that wont bother me playing it in single player mode anyway .. So the single player may be better than it ever has been, fingers crossed anyway. Creatures "Broader range of sounds" was a high on my wants, the old squeaky noises without much variation has always been a minor irritation for me, no matter how much I like the game the noises were a bone of contention - So fingers crossed they have also done a good job in that department. Watching that Next Trailer would seem the low flight has been tweaked even more, enough that you can clip the low branches of trees is low enough for me Quote Additionally, your freighter is where you'll encounter the new frigate system. This wasn't a feature I saw myself during my playtime, but is described as something like Monster Hunter's Palico system. You can buy frigates - up to 50 in a fleet, which will be visible around your freighter - and each can have its own specialisations. Frigates are sent on procedurally generated missions which play out in real-time, and can be followed across the galaxy or simply left to complete their mission, reaping the rewards of a successful adventure. Sounds like a lot more time is going to be invested in this game Edit : Oh and an interview with Sean Murray, revealing some of the crap they went through .. https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/20/no-mans-sky-next-hello-games-sean-murray-harassment-interview Whats with people and death threats over a game ??, really awful behaviour no matter how they try to justify it as an unhappy customer.

Arthmoor Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Wow, that's even more of an update than I was expecting after the last mention of it. I wonder if existing saves will continue to work, cause I'd rather not lose the progress I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt3rn1ty Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ah I think continued games may be the fly in the ointment, I have seen some horror stories in that regard. Anyway the good news (well at least from my POV), the game is still DRM Free on GOG, you can still download the Offline Manual Installation files (so the GOG Galaxy client which has potential to be as insecure as a lump of swiss cheese .. Is not required - YEEEESSS!), and you can still run it as an entirely single player game not requiring an online connection. I can understand the people who want MP having a go at GOG and HG for not providing an MP solution that doesnt require the steam client .. But for me personally they can ram it where the sun dont shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well I guess given the number of improvements being made it might just be worth a proper restart.

alt3rn1ty Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yep but there have been so many changes to the basics, how the new game engine interprets what you had is probably going to be a bit bizarre, if not missing. I started again, and its worth doing imho. Most enjoyable. Aaand, there is an experimental version in the depot branches already, when the most recent changes to public again .. Expect an update on GOG to follow soon after (well, except Friday Saturday and Sunday because GOG put their feet up for the weekend) Also useful to watch - Pinned topics on the Steam Discussions for NMS - These experimental patches will probably go on for a month or two : Quote NEXT Experimental Build Hello everyone, First of all thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing NEXT and letting us know about any issues you’ve experienced.

Arthmoor Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well they haven't fixed the bug I ran into yesterday so I guess I'll need to report that. Was doing the quest to fuel up the hyperdrive for the first time and it's gotten itself stuck in a loop. Whenever I use the newly created warp cell to fuel the drive as the quest prompt tells me, it rolls over and says I squandered the antimatter and sends me to get another. This continues in a loop and blocks advancing the story from there. Gotta say though, I am duly impressed with the changes. Planets look way better. Space stations are so much better than before. Loads more aliens, and they actually look better too. Tons of new resources to play around with and stuff too, and I like the tech salvaging thing for building the base.

alt3rn1ty Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Yeah I just made my seventh report, but this one is just for an annoyance that happens when you get contacted by the anomaly. You get a little mission to meet a certain amount of aliens, and on completion the anomaly warps into your current sector (my third warp), then it starts this loud booming sound which is present throughout the sector and when you are on planets .. I warped back to the previous one to do things in peace it was that bad. Pretty sure it should stop, or at least reduce some, but it kept on going and going like torture. So I have started again so I can do that bit again when it gets fixed and test it out. I agree : Atmospherics are superb, Tech salvaging is good, very much like the new balance for simple things like fuelling your ship, it has a step more than it used to but thats forgivable due to the product seems to be lasting longer for less grind effort put in. A few blue things, some ferrite, make a plate, make a capsule, do that 4 times and you have two lots of two capsules stacked to completely fill her up with go go juice for ten launches. I like the fact you can leave the refinery doing its thing while you do something else too. I already have the pre-order dlc installed and flying that around as my early ship, because I think I am going to be sat in something small for quite a while this time round, so may aswell get a good blast with it. Edit : Oh and creatures, lots of improvements there, and the odd involuntary mess made .. I wont give anything away but if they catch you right in a surprise they can make your coffee go flying - Thats all i'm saying :), I certainly wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary .. Anyway I need to shush. The animal sounds too, at last everything is not a squeaky toy anymore. Edit 2 : Aand the flying, especially the low flying, is just right. I think I could go on editing this post for a long while , the new scanner and visors too. I also like that the Terrain manipulator is accessible quite early. The early days of NMS used to have a grenade launcher which was easy to pick up early, and was very useful for making caves in the landscape to escape extreme weather until it calmed down. Then with subsequent updates the Grenade launcher became a bit harder to get hold of .. Now the Terrain Manipulator fills that slot for getting out of the bad weather when necessary, I make a mini cave big enough to drop the refinery and occupy myself making stocks until it blows over. Edit 3 : One more edit .. Caves, they so deserve a mention. The torch gets a lot more use, and the feeling going into them, I am getting a be cautious vibe all the time even if the only new additions down there are the toxic cloud puffing growths which are sometimes not so obviously right above your head when you start getting choked and cant find the source to move away from them. Nearly died with those things until I ran and then looked back to realise where they were. I do believe there are also some not so nice critters in caves too (though I have not seen them personally, the critters I mentioned earlier are an entirely different thing .. I think .. Oh hell I hope those are not down caves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt3rn1ty Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Now that 1.54 is live I think (judging by the decrease in the amount of fixes in the last couple of patches) that they are running out of serious fixes which needed doing .. https://mobile.twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/1026788487285166080 So now I think the amount of fixes will go up again in the next next patch .. https://mobile.twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/1026791312723456001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, thank you for playing the game and taking the time to report any issues you encounter! We appreciate your patience and understanding while we tackle the highest priority issues first. Please note that due to the large number of changes in this patch, there is always the possibility it may introduce new issues that haven't been caught in test. We'd like to recommend that all players back up their save files, by making a local copy of the st_[userid] folder found here:C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS\st_[userid]) Note that we don't anticipate any issues here. However, performing your own backups could mean the difference between resuming play immediately, or waiting for the next patch.
