No Man's Sky Worlds Part I Deep Dive 

'It's called Worlds Part 1 because there's much more to come.' Oh, my heart.

Everyone saying they're on a redemption arc is late. They've *finished* that redemption arc. Now, it's a victory lap.

Props to Sean Murray and his beautiful, inspiring positivity. He could have become a joke. He decided he would rather become a legend.

Hello Games is reaching near spiritual levels of generosity to their fans. They've transcended the industry.

"When we started No Man's Sky, you know, I wanted people to feel like they had stepped into the cover of a science fiction novel" Looking at the gameplay on screen when Sean says this, you've definitely succeeded at this! Amazing job!

It's amazing how far $60M can go when it's going to a passionate indie team and not to a public mega corp whose executive makes at least as much per year. Look how long they've continued development, sustaining themselves on the massive launch 8 years ago and continued sales because of these huge free updates and growth onto newer platforms. In an era of $70 base games with $20+ skins and multiple $20-40 battle passes, this is the sort of game we should all be supporting. This is how gaming should be.

“Every new update we want to surprise” im glad to say you are doing really well with that statement!!!

After RDR2 - this easily takes the place for the favourite game of my lifetime. After the initial learning curve, exactly THIS is what I imagined a truly open world with free exploration would be like. Thank you for the continuous effort man. Much love from Rajasthan in India, where I even use this game to teach underserved children the vast extents of space!

You know it’s good when the man himself makes a deep dive for it

Even if I don't play No Man's Sky, I can tell it: What a genuine heartwarming studio and community here. Don't change, pls.

Eight years later and still releasing massive, beautiful updates for free. Just blows my mind. Thanks for all your hard work.

Посмотрите в глаза этому человеку, он искренне рассказывает, он любит то, о чем рассказывает, я смотрю на него и верю, верю в то что он делает всё с любовью в сердце, так и должен выглядеть разработчик игр (да и не только). Спасибо Вам за Вашу любовь к своему делу и к своему комьюнити. Спасибо "Hello Games". Спасибо Шон, Грант и всем остальным, кто делает свою работу с любовью! К сожалению сейчас таких людей всё меньше и меньше, мало кто хочет делать игры для игроков, как бы это абсурдно не звучало. Спасибо Вам ребята, Вы огромные молодцы! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Hello Games is one of the VERY few developers I believe when they say "we're excited and passionate about what we're creating." It's been seven years almost to a day since I bought NMS and started playing, and you still manage to surprise with a new thing. Thank you.

And this is why Hello Games is just the best studio out there at the moment. Other companies would charge you 30$ for every dlc and they see it just as updates. Incredible.

Sean looks so happy, I'm gonna cry. The last ten years have been amazing for this project, this idea, this studio. for Sean. You can tell.

i never comment but wanted to take the time to show support and say these guys are the real deal. to fall and get back up to not only run, but fly. true passion and care for the art and its observer.

"The update is called Worlds Part 1, because, I guess, there's much more to come" Just under ten years ago he'd have been laughed out of the room, now all eyes are fixed on him expectantly, with an odd reverie. Congratulations Sean, I hope No Man's Sky forever continues to be a passion project of Hello Games, because the game industry needs more passion with how companies are treated nowadays (embraced, expanded, extinguished).

our stomach are already full but this man (& his team) still cooking like our grandma

Ships landing on water? Well that makes a lot of the water quests easier

Just wanted to say thanks again Sean and team. This update is beautiful. The work you have all put in over the years is really appreciated.

This studio went through one of the biggest character redemption arcs I’ve seen in a long time.

This is beyond a redemption arc at this point. You guys are actual legends. I'd love to see you get an infinite budget for a passion project, that would be the most insane game ever

This is honestly the game of my lifetime. I cannot wait to experience the updates. As someone who played back when the worlds were lonely and stark and the minerals were towers sticking up from the land, it is honestly incredible to see how much this game has grown, evolved, and become an absolute legend in the gaming world. I have thousands of hours in No Man's Sky, the fact that I paid $60 8 years ago and am still getting new content that can make me gasp aloud in awe, is absolutely mind blowing. Thanks to everyone on the team at Hello Games. You built something incredible. Thank you for not giving up during the tough times, and for your continuous dedication to creating an awe inspiring experience for us.

Just amazing that they've managed to update and keep NMS alive with all of these amazing updates we've received absolutely free of charge. I honestly wish Sean and the team who stuck by NMS a ton of success in their future endeavours.

I play this amazing game on psvr2 and it brings so much joy. I’m 58 now and when I was a teenager I went to see star wars at the cinema and did actually think how cool would it in to be in this universe, thank you so much because now I sit in game with my friends around me talking and watching the world go by. 😊

This game should go down in history as the greatest come back in gaming of all time

This man is a genius and his studio is unique, you guys should be really proud.

Sean we love you and the team, your work ethic is aspirational and the passion you and your team have for video game making is inspiring

02:57, Sean: "My favourite thing in the game might just be flying through the clouds and out into space" Todd:

It doesn't matter how many times he says it. "There's still more to come." always leaves me in awe for the love they have for this game.

No Man Sky's like Minecraft in that you binge it for a few random weeks (with friends too sometimes) every year or after big updates. Just a fun amazing game to always go back to

I started playing about a month ago and this week moved over to Aquarius Expedition. Having so much fun exploring worlds, managing my fleet and tending to my settlement. I couldn't believe it when I found out Hello Games is based in my home town (Guildford). I've completed the main and most of the secondary quests, but it's definitely a game you can easily return to and enjoy.

Star Citizen: "pay us money to complete the game we're never going to release No mans sky: "yo you got 60 bucks? ill give you infinite season pass and vr support"

It's time for the 2 weeks No Man's Sky phase again

Holy Sheet Sean! Part One??? Every other Developer would say "That's a DLC for $70" and you guys manage to give us this for free. Man, i love HelloGames! Thank you Sean for keeping fulfilling wishes we didn't even knew we had. I love that feeling of being a Explorer in this vast universe of NMS

So proud of them for following through on their vision and persevering to a place where they are now. Sean and his team deserve every bit of praise and admiration.

Sean went from a man promising too much and getting in over his head, to learning to swim and completely redeeming himself and Hello Games.

“…because there’s much more to come” - gave me goosebumps, because I know it’s true. I love this years long journey.

Im so proud of you, Sean, you never gave up on this game and now look what you've done, you made an entire community, you gave us the game you promised, and also you didn't gave up on Switch. It's just incredible to see this game grow...

Good work Hello Games, as someone who has appreciated the work you've been doing since day one; please keep doing what you're doing. I'm still playing to this day and I can't say that for many games I've owned for close to a decade

"My favorite thing might be flying through the clouds and out into space." Me too, Sean. Me too.

People can talk about and praise how much of a good comeback Cyberpunk was, but it's nothing compared to what Hello Games has been doing for this game. The level of commitment, ongoing support and free updates, makes this by far the best redemption in gaming history.

I was one who followed No Man's Sky from long before launch and understood the challenge of such an ambitious project and i really felt for Sean when his first interview got sort of exagerated and twisted just because everyone was upset about the lack of multiplayer. Well look at it now. What a truly amazing job Sean and the team have done, I'm so so proud.

ive been playing since the 2016 launch and this game never ceases to amaze me ...its absolutey incredible what you guys have accomplished i cant wait to see whats next! KEEP GOING SEANNNN!!!!

Hello Games is using all knowledge they acquired making NMS in the creation of Light No Fire and they are now using the new tricks they learned developing that game back in No Man's Sky. That is how a *_real_* game devs should work: not by betting in "live services" or microtransactions, but by focusing in what is truly important: making a good game and supporting it.

I was sold on the hype for NMS from day 1. I saw Sean's passion and vision, and believed in him. While I don't think the product we have today would've been possible without Sony, I also think they nearly killed it before it could blossom. They forced the small studio to put out an incomplete version of what they described and wanted to publish. Luckily, after meeting this criteria, and later opening up to PC and Xbox, they gained enough freedom, time and funding to not only bring to fruition what was originally promised, but many many times beyond that. They've overdelivered so many times, and every time the content is free to all owners. It's truly incredible.

Never stop updating this game. Let this game grow for generations. Thank you Sean. Thank you.

This is quite inspiring. The love you have for your own creation is endearing. Makes me want to try out the new stuff right away.

I bought this game right as it came out. Despite the general misgivings, I fell right into the game. I explored nonstop, and never once felt as if I'd reached the ends of the worlds. Hello games and Sean Murray have given me an incredible experience, one I hope to share for years to come. The community might think they've made up for the rough launch, but I knew they would do it from the third update. There was nothing ever to forgive. Thank you, Hello Games.

Oh my! Whenever No Man’s Sky releases a new update, I have endlessly thanked Sean Murray for still providing us with free content using the company’s resources, and I have mentioned what I think would be great in the next update. It's as if they are really listening to me because they release every suggestion I make in the next update, and it has become terrifying for me. I don't believe they are actually listening to me, but such coincidences are scary. I used to say you have written your name in the gaming world with golden letters, then I said with diamonds, and now you have written it with stars! When I made this suggestion, I thought to myself, “They can’t do that this time, if they will make the engine update that would be separate game called NMS2.” But engine update is really in front of me for base game now. I’m like -> 🤯 I really dont know what to say!

Props to the person that did the editing on this video. Sean's voice over on the scenes and their transitions is perfect. The music is used perfectly. I also loved the little look into the studio. A lot of hard work that you don't really notice. You simply enjoy watching it.

I remember one of the recent updates being called "Omega" and thinking it was the end of NMS development and... ... it actually put a tear in my eye. In 45-or-so years of gaming I've never had a reaction even close to that for a game. NMS is a genuine work of art. It's an absolute credit to Hello Games and an absolute ode to the dreams I had as a kid about what those blocky games on my Atari console might one day become. My imagination was lacking.

They did it, the crazy sons of bitches did it. We're so proud of you Hello Games!!

After everything, this game has been through, the fact that he still has such love in his eyes when he talks about it is admirable. You done good Sean. You done good

Sean's back!! It sucks that the launch thing ran away from him, but I'm super glad he's back! Poor guy worked his ass off to make up for the launch and you can see the joy in his eyes. An inspiration to many, this man had the internet all over pissed at him and instead of caving and giving up he said "No let me fix this" Truly amazing stuff sean!

yall are incredible. you've created a sanctuary from life for me with an incredible one. just hoping for a bit better support with vr, it's not quite perfect feeling yet but you guys can do it. you have had the best redemption arc ive ever seen in gaming history, and that was years ago. now it's all just a bonus.

Not gonna lie, one of the best soundtracks out there. Peaceful beautiful adventurous

Sean you handome bastard. Dont you dare to stop expanding NMS. Its so amazing that you barely scrapped the surface of NMS potential.

This journey is one of the best experiences I have had through computer games. Thanks to you for this ❤

His face shows his real passion for the game. Keep up the good work. Your game has giving me a new feeling when playing it. I feel excited about playing again. Thank you for that!

There’s a reason that us day one players have stuck with the game since 2016. That reason is faith in Hello Games. Thank you Sean and the team, you’ve never cease to blow us away. Fantastic job. ❤

Hello Games is the example of how game dev should be. They truly love what they do and their passion is reflected in their art. No Man's Sky is a work of art, love, care, passion and respect.

I got chills watching this. Eight years in and the game is going from strength to strength. Mad respect for you and the team there... Thank you. :)

Bless Sean's heart, through sheer willpower him and his team have surpassed all expectations-i am excited to see what the studio has in store for the future.

SEAN! YOU'RE OUR WORLD

I am excited every time hello games releases a video

Why so much love, Sean? We don't deserve it... Or maybe we do, but you deserve all our admiration. No studio has ever done what you have accomplished! Now, the game is just as we had hoped from the start. We know it wasn't possible back then, but you never gave up, never!!! We have nothing but respect and admiration for you. THANK YOU ❤❤❤

Im guessing people working on the game wont read this but just in case someone does, i just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. As a lifelong 37 year old gamer i have seen a lot of gaming companies and i can safely say Hello Games is one of the gaming companies i respect the most out of all of them.

The mere premise of the game is beyond the scope of anything any other game developer could pull off. It makes me so happy to see what you've done. Since day one, I never stopped believing in you guys and I'm so thankful that you never took our stock for granted, you always strive to deliver. No Man's Sky makes me so happy.

IT'S HERE

Sean, I cannot thank you enough! Not only does my current home planet now look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, but also my original base, the very first Praxeum Spaceport, has now been unburied from the warped space nylium it was stuck in. The old Prax is officially back up and running, thank you Sean, thank you! Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

I love this game. Haven’t played in a while, but the good news is, there’s plenty for me to get stuck onto when I do. Thank you hello games, for sticking with it, and showing the rest of the industry needs to act. Strangle enough, players are more appreciative of a game that actually gets shown love and has great content that is completely free.

Applying new tech retrospectively to a game is something I don't think I have EVER seen any other game developers do. The continue support NMS is receiving is just on another level. Thank you HELLO!

Over the years, we have received wonderful content for the game from the entire team. I would like to thank the whole team and you, Sean. Thanks to No Man's Sky, I overcame suicidal thoughts. Greetings from Poland. ❤

Every update for me is big. I've been playing from the beginning and to watch this game evolve past what was expected is just great! Always something new to see every update.

Picked up another copy and sent it to a friend even though he may not play it .This is the kind of developer that is worth supporting .Even after a shaky start the team have redeemed themselves and should be rewarded

Hey there Sean, been playing No Man's Sky since day 1 in 2016 and have been looking at the progress and growth the game have made throughout the year. Words can't describe how grateful i am that you and your team cared about NMS. Thank you Sean!

Sean Murray's excitement translates through this video very well. This is awesome!

This is bringing tears, I swear, you and the team have come so far, learned so much and brought so much happiness to all of us. You're a blessing in this time were video games have become nothing but money machines for big corporations. A heart felt thank you Sean and Hello Games!

First time in this new update getting to a dissonant planet because of the expedition, and finding an interceptor starship, and the weather was full storms and the world big mountains and i was scared while exploring it because the winds didn't let me see how far from the ground i was while jetpacking from mountain to mountain. it was intense and that's what was missing for me before, I felt there. also i like shooters and action games, and the shooting is now fun!

So... Something I realized, pondering on this-- For those of you really hoping they add some wild, revolutionary stuff, or completely overhaul parts of the game? I think there's a chance they might be moving towards being able to do some of that starting with this update. It's easy to miss, 'cause it sounds like buzzwords, and it *looks* like it's just special effects, but what's actually going on here is that they are *digging back into this 8 year-old game's engine* and changing some root functions entirely. That's why this update has had more random crashes than previous updates, there's a ton of weird stuff under the hood being touched and some of the ripple effects of that cause stuff to break. (There was a hotfix literally today starting to address this stuff.) Point is, fucking with root systems and keeping your game intact is actually *really* hard. This is all 'minor impact' stuff, things that won't really rock the boat too hard-- I think they're using it to test the waters for how well they can handle changing the core while the game is still live. Give it time and it might end up ship of thesseus'd into something its old self could have never dreamed of. I think that's what this team wants more than anything. And that's... Kind of nuts, really? Usually anything resembling that effort requires tearing the entire game down and rebuilding it (See: FFXIV, for instance) but for better or worse, once again, Hello Games will commit to the most ridiculous option of all... Godspeed to them, I suppose. Digging yourself out of technical debt with anything less than the nuclear option is never easy and to do it in a live service game is to be possessed by madness, but when has that ever stopped them before?

Thanks to NMS I started looking at the night sky much more often and just appreciating its beauty, and I also developed a love for Sci-fi I thought I'd never have

I don’t play much anymore but always tune in for these updates for a few days or weeks, but mostly to see Sean’s passion so clearly coming through his eyes when he’s talking about these developments. You can tell this man holds a very big and special place in his heart for this game.

I preordered this game all those years ago. All I can say is thank you. You didn't have to do this but you've gone above and beyond. I'm thoroughly enjoying playing this update! There's so much to do and see!

I have been playing since day 1 and still with every update getting so excited. This time for some reason watching this and listening to Sean talking made me emotional 😢. I love this game so much and its community ❤️

You guys are an example to be followed, you started weird, now you nailed it so many times there's nothing to nail anymore but you keep going. Thank you for the dedication, NoManSky is on of the best of the past decade and beyond.

My dear dear Hello Games - 6+ years of playing and you delight and surprise constantly. This looks absolutely amazing and I cannot WAIT to play. I play other games but none bring the joy, delight, relaxation and happiness that I get playing NMS. My gratitude for your art and leadership in this industry. You give hope, and model magic.

The world mocked Sean Murray and Hello Games, but they didn’t flinch. They dug in, believed in their work, and turned laughter and mockery into admiration and applause. Sometimes, the best way to answer the doubters is to stick to your guns and just keep building.

What surprises me about NMS is that I keep dipping back into it. It's a universe you can visit from time to time to see how it's evolved. I get immersed in discovery, and then extract myself for a while, knowing I'll be back soon. In that sense, it's unlike any other game I've ever played and probably will ever play again.

Thank you HG. I don't know if someone cut some onions nearby, but I'm tearing up here. NMS is such a wonderful game, and been part of my life for 8 years. It keeps on changing, getting better and better. Love it. Thank you.

What an amazing team! Thank you guys for all your hard work!

I cant believe how far you guys have come with NMS, should be proud 100%, and completely forgiven for its launch 8 years ago

Man this game, what a treat. I remember doing a podcast pre release called No Man’s Cast. I can not believe how much positive change this game has gone through. The community is just so wholesome. From one game dev to another cheers! You guys are awesome ❤

As someone who has enjoyed this game since the first day release, I am so amazed at how much this game has developed. I used to spend so much time playing in the early days when there wasn't much to do, and now it feels like a brand new game again. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Sean, and the rest of the Hello Games team. You guys are truly the best development team out there. No other company would continuously give out these huge (FREE) updates 8 years after release. Keep it up guys.

Just started playing again this weekend and I am impressed. I was on a planet in a storm and got sucked up by a tornado... 😮😮 I LOVE IT. Not going to stop playing this again.

There's something about this game, this studio, this vision, that makes me emotional. It's truly beautiful seeing No Man's Sky surpass itself, year after year, update after update. Well done-once again-and thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥

The only thing I've ever wanted more from no man's sky were updated water graphics. Sean just gave us a lot more

TOP #1 of all times in: Biggest open world game. Best Space game. New content / Game evolution. Best procedural generation technology. And more... The excellence on this project is comparable to Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek" world

Thankyou very very much Sean and the team, Aku harap kalian selalu berhasil kelak. Mahakarya mu luar biasa.

Sean looks so proud of what he and the team have created here - as he damn well should be. Absolutely incredible job, as we've come to look forward to every time!
