No Man's Sky may not have been the ultimate in procedural space sims, but for some, it was good enough. A new update has renewed interest in the title and Hello Games frontman Sean Murray is talking again. He even presented at this year's GDC, revealing a few fascinating tidbits about the game's launch and the company's future.
No Man's Sky changed a great deal this morning, getting new modes and a ton of gameplay tweaks thanks to update 1.1, the largest one yet.
Compromised accounts tied to No Man's Sky developer Hello Games led to a series of faked official statements today calling the ambitious space exploration game "a mistake".
Two questions have plagued Hello Games' No Man's Sky since the title's rough-as-guts launch back in August: "Is that it?" and "Where did Sean Murray go?". While the answer to the first query remains elusive, the second was somewhat satisfied recently by the studio's audio chief Paul Weir.
It's become clear, a week after the launch of No Man's Sky, that the much-hyped space game has not lived up to many players' lofty expectations. But whose fault is that? Does it matter? And how could the backlash have been avoided?
The other night, I made around 14 million units in a matter of four hours in No Man's Sky (Gek traders hate her! Click here to find out why!) It was largely thanks to finding a huge number of items called 'Vortex Cubes' on a rare resource planet -- though it didn't really look like one.

No Man's Sky has a big universe. Not infinite exactly, but it's still pretty damn big. Nonetheless, people have been busy exploring -- so much so, that over 160,000 discoveries have already been made.
If you've been playing or watching streams of No Man's Sky over the past few days, you should know that things are about to get very different.
With just under three weeks before the launch of No Man's Sky -- which I personally delayed back in May -- a new potential controversy has emerged, this one revolving around a Dutch scientist's patent.
Briefly: Hello Games' Sean Murray celebrated via Twitter yesterday over the news that he won't have to change his game's name to No Man's One or something.
Last Wednesday, I reported that No Man's Sky had been delayed. For two days, up until the game's developers confirmed the news, I received a stream of nasty messages, angry tweets and, as has become a standard part of gaming culture, threats against me and my family.
Hello Games' ambitious space shooter has inspired many with its gorgeous visual and promise of endless procedurally-generated planets. Accomplished thing-maker Toykyo Joe channelled that inspiration into one heck of a custom No Man's Sky ship.
