Hello Games has released a new update for No Man’s Sky called Voyagers, which introduces several exciting features for players. The update allows users to build custom starships for the first time, with ships capable of holding multiple crew members and accommodating their movements inside. Sean Murray, the game’s developer, described the technical challenges in bringing this feature to life, emphasizing that almost every part of the game had to be reworked.
Interestingly, the Voyagers update will not only enhance No Man’s Sky but also share technology with Hello Games’ upcoming game, Light No Fire. This open-world game boasts a shared Earth-sized planet with real oceans and features large boats and crews. Murray expressed excitement about sharing this technology with players early, citing the team’s busy schedule on Light No Fire.
The connection between Light No Fire and No Man’s Sky has been discussed in previous updates, with Hello Games aiming to share their engine advancements with both games. The mention of Light No Fire was made during the Voyagers update video, giving fans a glimpse into the next big project for Hello Games. As Light No Fire approaches, players can look forward to exploring custom-built boats and traversing massive oceans in this upcoming fantasy sandbox game.
