LONDON: Hello Games has revealed some specifications of its new game No Man’s Sky. The developers of the game claimed that the game is so big and it has so many planets in it that no one can completely explore it. The releasing date of games has not yet been decided but it will be in the markets at the end or in the later part of 2015.
The art team of the game consists of four members, so it was virtually impossible for them to personally visit and survey all the areas of the game – and ensure that everything works well at the same time.
As a result, Hello Games developed probes to fly into the 18 quintillion worlds of the game and keep exploring for an indefinite time. The probe not only explores, it also documents the world and makes short videos for reference purposes.
In words of art director Grant Duncan, the game is governed by thousands of mindless idiots; which are actually computer algorithms.
The game is completely procedurally generated, which means at some point the developers had to let go off the control over the game. However, they did their best to retain it; they coded everything and put it out there, then they entered the probes to keep a check on them – just in case something caught their eye that needs tweaking
No Man’s Sky is coming to PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows sometime later in 2015.
