Update News: Surprise Experimental Update (VERY SUS) | Light No Fire Leaks! | No Man's Sky

[@Aeon3]

If you click bait me one more time… I swear!

[@drvolk1452]

I actually noticed that the new loading system within the experimental patch solved the "leaving planet gap" problem! best patch since long long time :)

Great backdrop☃️👌🏼:) (we’re snowed in here in 🇳🇴 right now,meters deep everywhere🥶))

[@SoundAuthor]

Looks like concept art to me.

[@ronsandahl274]

I think that there are two things at work here. I imagine Hello Games will be adding to No Man's Sky innovations that they create for Light No Fire; this current change may be one of the number of things needed to start that process. Plus there will come a time when Hello Games will no longer regularly be updating NMS, and will instead be fully focused on LNF. From that point major changes to the game will come from the modding community and so changes will be needed to make that transition easier.

Look at the wooden stAIrs 💔🤖

[@Piquin001]

I think the mod support might be an indication of the game coming to end of support by hg so they are trying to let modders have it easier one they are done

[@cullain3967]

Mods give games a longer life, increase replayability etc, I can see that HG might be looking at building their use more into the game than they were originally envisioned to be, this is bound to be an upset but going forward I can see them bringing modding more into the game across all platforms. It's not always an easy task and given that all mods to date were developed outside of HG's systems then the initial phase of integrating them is going to be painful but I think this is a good move going forward...

[@McGrumpus]

What I see is the devs cleaning up their I/O system. I had an unrelated (to mods) issue; the game went into jerky slow mo if for ANY reason focus went back to Windows. That is apparently cured now too, just saying. Also, this update was 18.7 GB. That is NOT just a few kb worth of mod preps. What IS the bigger picture of THIS update, huh?

[@alottalogic]

2 of them look like they are from Valhaim with a texture pack addes, the temple looks to be the only "legit" LNF and the others look AI

[@x1138-4EB]

Theres website which allow you to upload pictures to analyse if its AI or not. Just looking they dont even look like in engine graphics. The wooden stairs lead to another 'fence' Looks fake.

[@lionelwhiskerknot]

Don't think think they are game screen shots. Looks like AI generated concept art that likely sampled from screen shots of Light No Fire to use in something like Lora models in Stable Diffusion. That being said if they used actually screen shots for the Lora model then even tho they are AI pictures there may be clues to stuff that might be in the game.

[@AustinAirCo]

Well HG has been working with AI stuff, like for example letting the AI play No Man's Sky. This is no secret... err is it? Now what HG's aspirations are in the AI realm? I doubt anyone currently can nail that down. HG's in my opinion is on lock down mode? yeah, the game awards this year Sean was in a black T-shirt with no logo, no nothing. The year before, he had a T-shirt on with a logo. It appears to me if we are to take the hints we have from the game? the boundary is falling. *Incoming Transmission: We're watching you, we'll contact you when the time is right.*

[@mikeuk666]

That ai playing nms was outside of hello games & nothing to do with them though

[@AustinAirCo]

@@mikeuk666 Sean Murray said many things were happening behind the scenes in regards to the AI thing. But he didn't elaborate as to the extent of it. So I doubt anyone knows outside of the dev team at HG. speculation is speculation does.

[@grimnirstormcrow6597]

i think the mod aspect to it means they're gonna start moving from NMS while keeping it engaging..maybe they're moving toward LNF or they're gonna focus on the production of other studio games..if you compare the trailer or any game play in NMS its clearly concept art or AI generated generic fantasy..i think our hopes and desire for LNF is so high well take anything at this point...just goes to show how bad people want a good, in-depth and customizable fantasy game

[@VenovaGames]

Hello (: great video! I think these Images are AI generated and we shouldn't get to exited with our own ideas for Light No Fire. Especially the graphics are way too good for a game. I don't want to see the release for Light No Fire to be like No Mans Sky in the beginning.

[@steezwts9093]

Supporting the mod community doesn't seem odd to me

[@sonalita_]

Clickbaity... Nothing sus about it, many games offer or improve mod support without supporting the mods themselves. Factorio being a classic example

[@CarnivoreOma]

Interesting considerations.

[@WingManFang1]

Concept art

[@ShanerTheGrey]

Like I commented on your post yesterday these are all clearly AI images Jesus Christ man.

[@jamesmc1038]

They do seem to clean to be in game screen shots. The hype begins !!

[@TheOriginalGR8Bob]

I ignore screenshots and just look at trailers hidden under the patch notes at the very bottom of the page in the official nms site.

[@McGrumpus]

That's it? An 18.7 GIGA BYTE update, and that is IT? You said some words all run on each other, hastily. Slow down and say it clearly, Cynical. Not a bit of this spiel explained this update.

[@McGrumpus]

You never said what this latest 18.7 Gig update is about, or what it contains. I am tired of your endless speculation. Bye.
