[No-Mans-Sky] Development Update – 1.61 (website)

Published September 27, 2018 at 05:59AM by Hello Games at https://www.nomanssky.com/2018/09/development-update-1-61/

Hello Everyone!

We hope you have been enjoying the most recent additions to the game with last week’s large update! The team here are concentrating hard on the upcoming features, but we continue to balance this with time dedicated to optimisation and ironing out issues that are important to players and to us.

This week’s update addresses a few high priority issues and introduces the Space Anomaly’s next community research mission!

 

Community Research Update

Specialist Polo’s research has taken a new direction this week, after their analysis of the Sentinel data yielded some surprising results. The Sentinels are tracking other anomalous signals, signals currently unknown to Nada and Polo.

They have pinpointed the location of what appears to be the echo of another Traveller-Entity. The Anomaly itself cannot travel to this location, for fear of further alerting the Sentinels. Polo asks for help in finding this mysterious being – or in finding whatever trace of them still remains in this reality…

 

As always, Quicksilver will be awarded to all participating Travellers, and can be processed by Polo’s Synthesis Bot in exchange for exclusive collectibles.

Placeable portraits of two more familiar Traveller characters: Artemis, and Null.

• 
• 

Create vivid horticultural displays at your base with three customisable tree varieties:

A fragrant fruit tree.

 

An elegant spindle tree.

 

A hardy evergreen tree.

 

 

Community Spotlight

It is always humbling and slightly overwhelming to see how much time and love the community put into some of your tributes to the game. A few amazing pieces highlighted below…

This fan-made cinematic trailer for No Man’s Sky NEXT is stunning (by EvilDr.Porkchop)

 

We were charmed by this lovely demake created by @Liquidream for itch.io’s #DemakeJam (Playable here)

Before and After

And thank you to /u/ArcturusMint for compiling this collection of screenshots comparing No Man’s Sky v1.0 with NEXT.

It got us talking in the studio about some of the things that have changed in the engine from launch to today… the many subtle features that have contributed to creating prettier worlds.

• Texture streaming
• High res textures
• Temporal antialiasing
• Crepuscular rays
• New clouds system
• New water system
• Tessellation
• Depth of field
• Improved lighting
• Colour grading
• Ringed planets
• Ocean and continents
• New atmospherics system
• An awful lot of memory savings to make that list possible…

Looking at this made us even more excited for the future. Thank you /u/ArcturusMint!

 

Development Update

Patch 1.61 is live on all platforms today, with the notes available below. We will have some more news to share with you very soon!

Our next update is larger and has a focus on making exocraft. Making them more valuable and interesting, as well as fixing exocraft issues.

Thank you so much,
Sean

 

Patch 1.61

• Fixed a crash in the quick menu.
• Added a warning message when attempting to upload a base which exceeds the existing server upload limit.
• Fixed an issue where the build menu would occasionally switch to the quick menu.

• Fixed an issue on PS4 where players could join multiplayer sessions with players on a different patch version of the game.

[No-Mans-Sky] Development Update – 1.60 (website)

Published September 20, 2018 at 09:59AM by Hello Games at https://www.nomanssky.com/2018/09/development-update-1-60/

Hello Everyone!

Seeing all the player stories and creations emerging from the recent updates has been fantastic motivation for the team here. Thank you for the tremendous effort in highlighting important issues with clear feedback – but thank you also for simply enjoying the game (and for sharing that enjoyment online where we can see it!) It’s why we continue to do what we do.

As we touched on in the last Development Update, we are busy brewing up some larger features as part of the longer journey for No Man’s Sky. We are aiming to share further previews of what’s coming up, as soon as we are ready. In the meantime, this week introduces a new update, 1.60, which includes the features highlighted below.

 
Community Research Update

Specialist Polo has collated all the data they’ve received about creature appetites, diets, and digestion, and are currently analysing the results. Any travellers who collected a mysterious new substance during this research mission may be able to fetch a reasonable price for it at a Trade Terminal… or find a different method of converting it into valuable currency.

However, scientific progress is never without adversaries, and an old threat is weighing on Polo and Nada’s minds. Polo will again reach out to their Traveller-friends for assistance. This time, they wish to gather data on the sentinels that patrol the galaxy and seek to eliminate anomalous entities such as non-convergent Gek and Korvax lifeforms.

Polo believes that a deeper understanding of sentinel intelligence may help give the Space Anomaly an edge in their evasion of the sentinel forces, and reveal more insight into this renewed galactic generation. Quicksilver will be awarded to all Travellers who participate in the research, and can be processed by Polo’s Synthesis Bot in exchange for a number of items – including several new to this week.

For Traveller bases, a statue of a relatively rare, but consistently awe-inspiring, long-necked quadrupedal species.

 

A placeable portrait of a Traveller who will be familiar to many explorers.

 

A miniature, autonomous drone is available to build at your base, to provide silent but reliable robotic companionship for weary Travellers on their return home.

 

A lively dancing gesture, to commemorate moments of victory and celebration.

Even if you missed out on some of the previous research missions, you can still participate in this week’s mission – and more diverse means of earning Quicksilver will soon be available too.

 
Community Spotlight

No Man’s Sky has always been a game that is built on the community and the stories that you generate. The friendly, inclusive, and welcoming spirit of the player community is a constant inspiration to us – as well as the quirky sense of humour we often see rising to the top of Reddit.

We really enjoyed these 40s-style advertisements by /u/xxGOOSEGREENxx, celebrating farming, the coveted Large Refiner, and a theoretical product refined from Hexite…

• 
• 
• 

We are also excited to see explorers making extensive use of their Quicksilver reward items…

(Credit to /u/jbx1896 for their base decorating skills, and /u/CrashyBoye for sharing that mind-blowing moment of learning the final Vy’keen word.)

The community’s photographic skills continue to impress and reveal new corners of the universe to us. Some of our recent favourites:

V&A Exhibition: Design / Play / Disrupt
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, UK, is currently featuring art from and behind-the-scenes insights into a number of video games, including No Man’s Sky. It is humbling to see our work featured alongside some truly stunning, influential titles. The exhibition is open now, and will continue to run until Sunday, 24 February 2019.

Development Update – Current Patch and Future Plans

Patch 1.60 is live on all platforms today. It includes a large list of fixes and improvements – notably the new features we previewed last week, as well as the new Quicksilver Synthesis Bot items. The complete list is available below.

Last week we gave you a sneak peek of upcoming features, I’m delighted that most of them are already made it into version 1.6, along with a whole bunch of fixes and tweaks.

We have some exciting features in the pipeline for No Man’s Sky which we’re looking forward to sharing with you all. In the meantime, thank you again for being here with us, for reading these updates, and for playing the game.

Thank you so much,
Sean

[@hellogames] RT @kezamacdonald: If you are within striking distance of London, you absolutely must see the @V_and_A's Video games: Design/Play/Disrupt, the first museum exhibition to treat games as the modern cultural force that they are. I was quite emotional after seeing it. https://t.co/m5hLcky42A (twitter)

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for your feedback and kind words after our last development blog post. We hope to continue sending these updates for a little while. It’s nice to be at a point in time where we can share information and updates with the community.

While some of us are also beginning to work on new features and content, the team continue to work hard making fixes. We listen intently to the community and appreciate the effort people go to in writing up bugs and feature requests.

 

Community Research Update
The response to our first community mission was great to see, and your feedback is being rolled into 1.59 and 1.6. It was also lovely to read all the messages left by explorers on the Community Research planet – so many notes sent from all across the world and broadcast all over the universe.

Specialist Polo continues their investigation into a strange new phase of galactic generation. The collective digging efforts of the last week have given them a vast store of Hex Cores on which to experiment, and they have several promising leads. What secret do these cores hold, what message are they bringing for the universe?

While they continue to investigate, Polo’s mind has turned to biology. Beginning on Thursday 6th September, they will reach out to all explorers and once again request their assistance in documenting the changes taking place in the fabric of reality.

This research project involves finding and feeding animals on a planet that shows signs of previous Hex Core contamination. Dedicated Travellers who explore the diets of the creatures on this world will be rewarded with Quicksilver to spend at Polo’s Synthesis Bot. Polo notes that explorers are free to carry out their own research or refinement projects on any animal byproducts produced during these encounters.

The Quicksilver Synthesis Bot has also developed some new items:

• 
• A range of new base building parts. Travellers may attempt to curry favour with the Gek or the Sentinels by constructing large metal statues around their home.

• 
• The sleek, stylised Blazing Orbit helmet, available as a fully-recolourable customisation option to the Anomaly suit.

• 
• A pair of touching decal portraits of Nada and Polo themselves.
• 

A new laughing gesture, allowing Travellers to experience joy.

The Synthesis Bot is striving to please its masters by creating a diverse range of new items, tailored to their desires. Significant new developments will appear in the shop in the coming weeks, as well as new ways to discover Quicksilver while playing…

 

Community Spotlight

No Man’s Sky has always been a game that is built on the community and the stories that you generate. The beautiful screenshots, shared discoveries, fan art, stories, comics – these are incredibly inspiring to the team. It’s a privilege to work on a game with such a passionate community.

We also want to give a special shout out to reddit user u/AcoupleofIrishfolk, whose screenshots feature as the wallpaper on more than one computer or phone among the team.

Development Update – Current Patch and Future Plans

Patch 1.59 is live on all platforms today and has a number of critical fixes. It also introduces the new items to the Quicksilver Synthesis Bot.

While some members of the team have been working to make these fixes and to get them to you as soon as possible, the rest of the team have been hard at work on upcoming features and critical fixes, optimisations and Quality of Life improvements. Some of these will follow in the coming days.

We don’t normally do this, but here is a sneak peek, the team are also currently working on:

• Fixing an issue that prevents shared bases from downloading while exploring.
• Adding new attack behaviours to the Biological Horrors…
  
• Enabling terrain tessellation on PS4 (base and Pro) and Xbox One X. New dynamic tessellation enables detailed terrain height maps without sacrificing performance.
  
  

• New, custom options for body shape have been added to the appearance modifier. This gives players far greater control over how they appear in the universe, increasing the diversity and variety of characters for all races
  

• Based on feedback from the community, we’ve added the ability for players on PC to set Hotkey Bindings to rapidly access options in the quick menu. This allows players to bind commonly used functions such as switching to third person, using their torch, or entering photo mode to number keys (or those mice that have loads of buttons).
  
  

As we continue development, more of the team will become free to work on new features. We want to involve the community in shaping these features, and hope to share some of this plan with you in the next few weeks.
Thank you for being here with us as we continue to develop No Man’s Sky NEXT, and we hope you enjoy all our improvements and expansions to the game.

Thank you so much,

Sean

 

Patch 1.59 Patch Notes

• Added new items to Polo’s Quicksilver Synthesis Bot

• Fixed an issue that could cause discoveries to stop saving.
• Fixed an issue where players with a specific number of inventory slots would have some slots hidden by other UI elements.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Community Research portals not to return players to the correct galaxy after mission completion.
• Ensured that the first entry in the Space Station Teleport list will take players in the incorrect galaxy back to their home galaxy.
• Fixed an issue that could cause portals to close and not lead players back to the correct planet.
• Fixed an issue where players could become stuck on a black screen.

• Fixed an issue where the starship was unable to land after changing missions while facing a mission marker.
• Fixed an issue where players with corrupt saves would be recovered but have no ship (please note – this involves instances where the ship was the corrupt data, and so ships have been restored to default).
