Indeed, the changes for the day zero patch of “No Man’s Sky” is not the average change that most first-day patches will do to games.

Another sign that the interest is high: Two players actually managed to find each other in the first day of the game’s availability, something Murray said on Twitter has “blown [his] mind”. The company line has been that the size of the universe is so staggeringly huge that the odds of two players finding each other are nearly nil. I’m awful at coming up with names in video games, but I am the Dungeon Master for a game of D&D, so naturally I went to there and began naming planets, and everything else after characters, and towns in my game.
It is important to finish “No Man’s Sky” tutorial before actually expanding to the universe. “It’s probably too strong a word, but when you play a game like Minecraft, I think you’re expressing some part of your personality, which I don’t think you do in a lot of linear, triple-A games”.
But Redditors TheGalacticCactus and Psytokat have done just that.
In the run up to the game’s release the game’s creator, Sean Murray, claimed that, while it was possible for players to meet in the game, the sheer size of the universe meant that this nearly certainly wouldn’t happen.
With regards to what might follow the hugely ambitious project, Murray revealed Hello’s desire to juggle larger undertakings such as No Man’s Sky with smaller projects such as its previous Joe Danger games.
The Hello Games managing editor also hinted that they want to be the “Johnny Depp of studios”, in a way that allows them to mix various styles from contemporary and indie games. If there is something else you would like to add, let us know in the comments section below!
That being said, players do encounter other players quite frequently as they progress towards the center of the universe.
In addition, they wanted to create a game that brings unique experiences to the gamers.
Whatever this game turns out to be, we’re intrigued right now – IGN’s review-in-progress says that “I feel it pulling me back in to do more exploring and unlocking new technologies”.
The Sony boss added that all PS4 titles will be supported by the base model, casting doubt on whether devs will be free to use that extra power to implement game-changing features.

The Aug. 12 release of the game’s PC port also applies worldwide, so the game’s population will likely spike significantly by then.
