And water on moons

some moons still have water
lone vault
what? I could have sworn I found one
huh, that's upsetting
why did they do all of this?
that's just mean
nocturne zephyr
HG have put their focus on other things, improving stuff and sort of neglecting other things
and things have been lost, either intentionally or unententionally
lone vault
ok, but we can't complain. they release free updates and are trying to salvage their game as much as they can
they're doing a really good job at fixing their original fuck-up
lone vault
yeah
nocturne zephyr
while also remembering what made HG excited about NMS before all the updates and stuff

And since they've focused on those other things and brought them up to a level that people like they can now focus back on what made the game special
nocturne zephyr
i do hear those squeals in my head
tame grotto
I like animal noises in-game. Has that changed from before?
nocturne zephyr
Yeah they're more restricted now. Used to be louder and more varied. Though too squealy
I think creature sounds could use a lot of work and have never been that great
Funny thing is, I kind of like the atmospheric fauna sounds that don't actually come from fauna more
gusty stream
Creature sounds were very weird pre next
But yeah flying fauna make the best noises
Really give planets more flavor
nocturne zephyr
I do like the bird noises
Though that's one aspect that needs more work is a larger variety of bird noises like smaller cheeps
If you think about how much variety we have in bird calls in the real world, imagine how enriching it would make all of the different lush planets and various biomes and change the atmosphere and ambiance
eternal yarrow
I wouldn't mind seeing birds land once in a while

What else to expect
Heavy story, bases and multiplayer are not the origin of NMS. Nor is combat or vehicles

Combat technically but it way a priority

Ehh. Combat was never really that much of an origin for the game. It felt more like an afterthought
At least the implementation of it on E3 and launch

Donโt be mad at me guys
Low quality but

Another part has a planet named planet1
Is solelth prime the sand worm planet
halcyon pebble
@uncut harness yeah it's the sand worm planet
All I'm wishing for is just planet gen at this point
I don't care about story
I just want unique planets
compact coyote
oh yeah soleth prime is seen a few different times in the trailers, and they started mentioning soleth prime this year
glass flare
this one was simply named LV-426. I always loved that trade outpost design and was sad they scrapped it
compact coyote
you know the red trees planet with the beautiful beach? thats why ive always wanted a NMS beach to look like
mental socket
that trade post looks way better than the ones we have now
Sad that they scrapped the design
glass flare
thing is, you can see a ship docked there, so it seemed functional. and i'm curious what that window area in the front was meant for. no idea why they scrapped it
compact coyote
that nms beach was beautiful

I loved pre release water
compact coyote
yeah water used to be a little better
tame grotto
What was different?
compact coyote
it looked better
tame grotto
It's a little viscous, like it sticks when you come out of it. It's funny when you see the effect traveling via an teleporter between on ground and underwater buildings.
tame grotto
Thank you, @mental socket!
I'm gonna go check out the water again to compare to that video. Cuz on the surface, is it me, or did it look more realistic before? ๐ง

"every planet unique" ๐คฃ
tame grotto
Wow. I see the difference. Man. Kinda wish I hadn't. ๐ฉ @compact coyote
glass flare
hmm you know, the Origins cover, especially that arc line above the planet kind of hints slightly at that old outro animation there. maybe just an artistic coincidence
mental socket
Everything there hints at original style
colorful stars in space, vibrant colors on planet and characters, v a r i e t y
kindred oracle
maybe they have fixed whatever problem caused them to reduce the variety in the first place
glass flare
Sean: "Sorry mate I didn't quite get that last word, got the corona ears. It started with a V so I'm guessing you meant vehicles. Well have I a treat for you! Introducing the Heli, a helicopter exocraft."
compact coyote
the background planets in the Origins poster are way too profound to ignore. its really hinting at variety
kindred oracle
to be fair, the poster is just artwork, not likely the same as in game
mental socket
Ofc but they purposefully revealed the cover art way earlier
And it really tries to give out a message of colors and diversity. Previous cover arts implied at multiplayer and VR
uncut harness
Is their any chance they could go back to old art style or would any variety still be in the realistic style
meager stag
uncut harness
Picture it
Trailer plays just like the pre release ones.
I wish. ๐
glass flare
there's almost no chance IMO they're going back to the pre-NEXT art style. they just released Desolation which doubles down on this style; why would they do all that work just to revert to the old aesthetic?
the most we can hope for is bringing back the amount of old color variation, and increasing the biome diversity in terms of assets or procedural complexity
uncut harness
Thats what i think will happen.
Still
Would be nice if they could go back. But yeah probably not
chilly drift
mental socket
@glass flare Well the amount of work that went into the old style exceeds the amount of work they put in desolation. Literally 4 years worth of assets and generation programming
chilly drift
Gonna see this
mental socket
It's with 99% certainty not legit @chilly drift
uncut harness
^^
gusty stream
Take Mac's videos with a grain of salt
chilly drift
@mental socket Why not ?
mental socket
the source is, as he described
"I believe he is a friend of someone who works at IGN"
gusty stream
Because its leaks, 99 times out of 100 they're wrong
mental socket
Yes, I could tell someone to write me a message telling variety will be there and present them as "inside source"
halcyon pebble
I could actually see the 23rd
mental socket
Yea, it's possible
mental socket
Tuesday is also possible
gusty stream
And we get info either Tomorrow or tuesday
ebon spoke
I'm pretty sure I remember someone "leaking" volcanos with NEXT, too
mental socket
and gas planets xD
glass flare
highly skeptical of that one. especially the "a friend of a friend of someone who works at IGN" that's basically "my uncle works at Nintendo" territory
kindred oracle
what would you do with gas giants?
mental socket
Some nms youtubers "leak" stuff almost every time there is an update coming. They grasp on strands of unconfirmed information and own speculation, presenting them as "actual information"
uncut harness
Maybe creatures live in the gas. You can collect it etc
chilly drift
@kindred oracle Could see Korvax installation mid air
halcyon pebble
Gas giants have massive amounts of resources
glass flare
plus adding volcanoes would require major engine changes, as flowing liquids is not currently something the engine can handle
kindred oracle
might have to introduce actual flight dynamics if we'd be collecting gas or even flying through gas giant atmospheres
mental socket
Liquid simulation physics would be hell to develop for this game@glass flare
halcyon pebble
On jupiter it literally rains diamonds
Along with a bunch of other stuff
So gas giants could be of great value
glass flare
yeah certainly current gen consoles would grind to a halt I suspect
mental socket
The way they generate terrain and stuff is not friendly at all for liquid physics
gusty stream
^
glass flare
the way they generate terrain is pretty much not friendly for anything to do with normal game systems
kindred oracle
yeah so volcanoes is probably a no, unless is was just static 'lava' pasted over terrain
mental socket
They could do static lava that is just a glowing hot texture spreading from the volcano. That terrain material type could also cause damage to player
glass flare
yeah if they did "flowing" textures like some of the flora you see on radioactive/toxic? worlds, but that would be pretty lame if trying to represent a lava flow
mental socket
Some games still do that tho
would be acceptable with NMS
instead of volcanoes, just do different liquid types
A lot easier
kindred oracle
fall into a pool of acid
mental socket
Some planets could have actual oceans of acid or lava
that would really increase the sense of hostility and danger on alien worlds
kindred oracle
some planets probably should have those things instead of water
glass flare
i think even defining a volcano area and applying discrete flows on it would be tough given that their proc gen engine doesn't have a global view of how the terrain generates
uncut harness
And you upgrade your suit or theirs a new exocraft to explore the lava
mental socket
Imagine a big green ocean of acid that would have big bubbles ascending from it
glass flare
Chris - they already have that to an extent on radioactive worlds. the water on them is highly radioactive
mental socket
those could burst and cause aoe damage like the bursting plants or geysers under water
kindred oracle
yeah but its still water
uncut harness
How hard is it to improve creature AI?
glass flare
changes color to yellow now it's acid!
mental socket
No, actual acid that you can't swim in nor see under
that would be good
So you'd need to install acid protection module to nautilon or just hover over it with nomad
glass flare
wouldn't add anything to gameplay, but i guess it could be cool if it looked the part
mental socket
Well it would differentiate some planets and travelling methods used on them
Making liquid on some planets an actual lethal substance could spice up the game a bit
Or ice planets generating layers of ice on water
just some 1-2 poly thin layer that reacts to mining beam
glass flare
icebergs would be cool
it certainly would be nice if there were liquids other than water. hydrocarbon lakes, liquid mercury pools, etc
mental socket
Liquid harvesters could also become a thing along with those
tawdry tusk
i think the leak is 100% sus, as I figure the first things people would genuinely leak are broader features like "variety" or "story" or "combat balancing", not specific stuff like volcanoes or weather effects.
mental socket
Imagine desert planet with dried up ocean
glass flare
the 4chan leak is more plausible as a leak for this update, but it also sounds like a wishlist from a fan
mental socket
@tawdry tusk Also, if HG wants to tell some insight to journos they usually tell it to Eurogamer first
tawdry tusk
@mental socket didn't notice that before, but yeah that checks out
uncut harness
Ot i didn't realise cobra hasn't played in over a year.
tawdry tusk
the 4chan leak was more or less disproven by desolation, right?
mental socket
@uncut harness Yup. He only plays Scam Citizen
@tawdry tusk Idk. The "leak" mentioned a new enemy and combat mechanic which were technically added with Desolation
there are 
tawdry tusk
ah ok
tawdry tusk
ye
mental socket
could be some lucky guesses on the most requested stuff
uncut harness
Its not wrong...yet
They said it would all be in one summer update though
glass flare
Tom - if you consider that the leaker got info about features but not necessarily hard in stone "this is in this update, this is in another one" then i guess it's still plausible
i'm also assuming that HG originally wanted Origins to come out with the anniversary but things got delayed bc COVID or whatever
mental socket
Yea. Now they seem to be back at the office tho
glass flare
they are? aren't infection rates skyrocketing in the UK again?
mental socket
Seans latest images on twitter show that he is in fact at the office
Can't say for sure about the rest
the tweets where he looked at all the fan-made stuff they received
compact coyote
you think theyll do a reset?
uncut harness
Someone mentioned the story guy left. If its the end of that arc could that explain why the atlas is getting closer in each update artwork?

looked to me like there was no one in the office except him, might be he just comes in because he's the big cheese https://twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/1304053555712667650/photo/2

their office looks nice
they probably have that big conference room to talk about updates and stuff
tawdry tusk
that actually looks really cozy for 20ish people
clever canopy
A tree plopped directly onto a concrete floor, just like in NMS bases
tulip agate
Nah, NMS bases would have the tree growing through it.
uncut harness
Yes
Reading back on some stuff, reminds me of an idea I had
so, you have super extreme worlds, with oceans of Lava or Acid or ice cold water, and in order to not die in seconds you need speacial tech, with stuff like lava veins in a suit to not die on super cold worlds, and vice versa
but these worlds would be filled with stuff, and have some cool looking vistaโs as well
also, with the specialized suits, you can toggle them, and say if you have an ice warming suit active on a lava world, you would just die
Thoughts?
languid wolf
I'm not sure if that much specialization would be a good idea - currently the system is to have 'normal' worlds that require you to recharge the relevant protection once in a while, and 'extreme' worlds which require you to recharge it more frequently. I think variety stuff like lava or acid or whatever could be added within that framework (perhaps it's only on extreme worlds and/or going into the lava itself could drain your pre-existing heat protection significantly faster than even an extreme world would), but I don't think a new protection system should be introduced just for those hazards, which would already be relatively rare. @uncut harness
uncut harness
Yee, just a random idea I had for some interesting worlds
like those lava worlds could have rock trees with veins of molten stuff going through them
languid wolf
Oh yeah that could be really cool, I just think you could do that with the existing hazard protection system
maybe instead of 'extreme weather' or 'extreme sentinels' it would be 'extreme environment'?
given how much inventory space the hazard protection tech currently takes up, more of that might not be welcomed by players
uncut harness
Yes
tulip agate
Or just add a row to tech slots.
uncut harness
That too
glass flare
well it might sense if they go back to the original idea that the star systems get weirder and more difficult as you journey towards the center
uncut harness
Oh yea
glass flare
the portals as part of that had a gameplay reason to exist - dash n grabs of valuable resources on planets closer to the center that you weren't strong enough to access on your own yet

deep nova
I'm still trying to keep my expectations over all of this tempered, but if we do have solid proof of this being a proper variety update then man.
The big question running through my head though is, if it is going to be another massive update similar to Next, what about world resets? Do you think that they'd just go ahead and do that? Possibly offer people a new set of universes?
mighty rampart
still feels more like they're adding a parallel universe or something along those lines
rather than resetting the current
crisp fern
we'll see ๐
deep nova
It's just that, at least with Next, the overhauls were so overwhelming in one direction that it made sense they'd do a fullscale reset.
Tons of elements got renamed
on top of all the other changes
mighty rampart
ya
but they wanted us to remember Foundations in particular
it didnt reset anything but add new layers to the game
idle jay
The later updates are meant to build off of this one. Perhaps one of those would contain the reset
crisp fern
remember fondue
deep nova
Wait, they said that updates coming after Origins are planned to build up after this one?
mighty rampart
yes
deep nova
Huh, I must've missed that
mighty rampart
we already know that "several more" updates are to be expected this year
uncut harness
It's why we're "expecting" this to be a 3.0 update.
deep nova
Right, I was about to say, that sounds like it'd be an update a month if they were saying several other content patches.
Part of me kind of hopes that if that's the case then they do some additional things with the horror vibes they channeled with desolation

languid wolf

Variety.
languid wolf
I'm thinking maybe some cool story stuff (maybe around the first-spawn era?) since it's called origins, but idk
idle jay
The V word
uncut harness
I hope variety and a return back to the look and feel the original trailer provided
I don't think they are changing the art style
idle jay
If they were then it would likely just be some minor changes. Enough to make it feel different without completely changing it
uncut harness
I miss the old artstyle. But if they can make the next style look different enough with origins it will be fine
mighty rampart

Serious question, as someone not totally in touch with the NMS community, who exactly is Mac Foraday and what is this then about the supposed โ4chan leakโ?
mental socket
Hey guys. My source, I think he works for like Sony, no wait. He is a friend of a guy who works there so anyways. He said that HG uploaded a build already to PSN servers and it's adding like... meter showers specifically. Let me just grab a screenshot of this totally legit source that could just be my friend who I have told to type that
severe sun
Mac Foraday claims to have an "insider" - who he doesn't remember who they are but thinks they're a friend of a friend who "works for IGN or something"
ocean wyvern
its just fake info icebelly

I figured as much. I was moreso curious if the youtuber already had a history of misinformation.
mental socket
Seems like he just milks for views
"Hey guys so I actually forgot to tell you about this on my last video but my source told me the exact date it releases"
FORGOT
severe sun
Most of the detail in the "leak" is probably correct because... it's the most likely outcome. It will probably launch on a wendesday, it is called origins (note how the leak was posted after the name was revealed), HG have teased sandworms, and it will probably include weather changes, just like every other major update
ocean wyvern
yeah that'll just be confirmation bias in the end but hard to do much about that
human psychology
severe sun
I hope HG launch it on a tuesday, delete the sandworms and volcanoes just to spite them
in fact
my source tells me if we don't get sandworms it's that guys fault
ocean wyvern
if we don't get sandworms its because people said they sucked initially haha
deep nova
Imagine if we actually do get volcanos and lava planets tho
severe sun
I fully imagine they were glitchy AF and spent most of their time flying

in fact the reaction to sandworms seems pretty universal cuz "too difficult to deal with" was the issue with the sandworm in SOTC too

You guys talking about the summer leak? the one that predicted crossplay?

I'm pretty certain there were already crossplay things found before that link.
flint silo
all of these leaks are covered in various youtube videos. you'll have to search the game name and 'leak' and sort by date. none of them strike me as particularly reliable but who knows.
timid mist
And we knew there was going to be new story a day or two before it so that part of the leak was also already known.
The rest of the leak was just standard nms wishlist
severe sun
@timid mist I'm pretty sure that an update preceeding crossplay upgraded a library and implemented everything needed to actually do crossplay
from memory
uncut harness
Oh I didn't knwo that
timid mist
Then there was a dev update where they said there would be weekend missions story, and the leak said something about it so people thought they predicted it lol
But the leak was like a day or two after that dev update

Maybe waiting for America to wake up?
timid mist
Typically yes I think
I'm on EST and it's always been like morning to early afternoon for me
severe sun
it's a balance between america waking up and having a couple of hours to fix any "oh shit" issues
launching after 4pm without going on experimental first is a good way to have your team stay late

Praying for pre-next terrain gen on some planets. A mix of both would be cool.

Lol looking back thru tweets, sean teased the exo mech update with an emoji when living ship dropped
Twitter
In this one
(old tweet, don't get excited)
ocean wyvern
"hopefully folks will be excited about what we're up to next" how cute haha
uncut harness
"Lol nah, thanks though."
eternal yarrow
so Sean is already tweeting.. I guess we are going to see something today. Even if it's a trailer
timid mist
I'd be fine with just a trailer. But I feel they'd do the whole thing.
mighty rampart
would likely be trailer+notes yeah
eternal yarrow
I'd be fine with a screenshot lol but yes I hope its something good ๐
timid mist
Haha I agree
eternal yarrow
but something is important with the number 3.. his cryptic tweets always get my brain going lol
deep nova
Iโm 100% with a trailer drop only tbh
Also there were two suggestions for why three
Three days, or 3.0.0
eternal yarrow
or 3pm UK time
which is 10 am est.. sounds like a good time for a drop ๐
ahh I am too hyped.. Feels like I had 4 cups of coffee and I haven't even turned the kettle on yet lol
flint silo
that sounds possible. it could also be that his first and second tweets had one and two oranges in them respectively so he's just ramping it up
tho in the past they have launched trailers at 3pm UK time
eternal yarrow
And Sean doesn't tweet unless something is up.. We are deffo seeing something pop up today
pseudo frost
i dont even want a trailer or pics
just gib patch notes
we will imagine
then show the trailer
SEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAANNNNNNN
we can imagine for 2 days
eternal yarrow
I think we will see a trailer today.. but I hope we get the update.. this is driving me nuts
stuck hinge
1.5 hrs left my guess ๐ง
eternal yarrow
welp now he retweeted someones Gib... I don't think he's gonna spend all day just teasing us ๐

Has anyone talked about the steam update 3 days ago? Last Record Update 3 days ago (18 September 2020 โ 22:59:37 UTC). Was this internal?
uncut harness
Don't worry about that
record updates are just random things steam does
you have to look at the depots instead
uncut harness

cheers!!

sean posted 3 oranges today.......
obtuse tree
3.Orange, 3.0 confirmed
unborn zealot
3 days before update.
prime inlet
update drops at 3pm GMT
obtuse tree
I think not, because he have posted orange like three days ago
gritty basin
so... in 1:30h
compact coyote
i swear the trailer is dropping today
obtuse tree
IM MAD
gritty basin
I think that today we will recieve the trailer
obtuse tree
I SWEAR

Ah noon or one gmt ๐
gritty basin
like with beyond, they dropped the trailer and 1-2 days after they dropped the update
obtuse tree
If i go to bed with nothing I will kill my oranges

its 1pm for me ^^

NMS confirmed to have elemental danger by making you remember them
halcyon pebble
Guys NMS Origins features planets!
mighty rampart
nocturne zephyr
Wow!
frigid silo
On another interesting note, was it not mentioned a long time ago that only half of the nms team worked on the small updates and the rest was busy with something bigger?
subtle gorge
They also said Origins wasn't going to be very big
uncut harness
They said Beyond was small.
mighty rampart
to be specific, they said the "2.0" was a collection of subtle stuff that couldn't be shown properly in a trailer
they did say it was their biggest update yet
the Origins blog post says its a "small step" towards a new journey, it doesn't immediately mean the update size will be small but they directly said it won't be their biggest update
frigid silo
There will always be a theoretical "bigger update" just to downplay the hype a bit.
mighty rampart
ya but I mean that they already indirectly said this won't be their biggest update yet
but they also didn't say it will be a small update
frigid silo
The mentioned foundations so do you think it will be more of a palate / style swap to be more like the older versions ?
mighty rampart
also "This update will be another small step in a longer journey" is something they often say either way
frigid silo
they*
mighty rampart
It won't be either imo
eternal yarrow
on the NMS website they compare it to Foundations. that was a pretty big update lol
mighty rampart
yep the comparison is for "remember how Foundations was a start of something new for the game's direction? Origins will have the same structure"
uncut harness
This dude is at it again:
https://twitter.com/jpalsgaardang/status/1308004684263809024
frigid silo
I means it is also in the name "Origin" ? Back to the roots I guess. I came with Next so this will be a neat experience either way.
mighty rampart
Foundations expanded upon the core gameplay by adding two new game modes, base building, deployable technology like signal boosters, freighters
so its possible that Origin will again mess with core gameplay by adding some new features entirely, or they're revisiting the core gameplay in general
eternal yarrow
I know one thing.. I probably won't be disappointed, whatever it is ๐
frigid silo
I don't know what to expect, I mean we got Mechs , dungeons and a music making tool in the past. It will be cool if they also touch more on history of the other species, there is a trove of potential there.
bitter remnant
Didn't HG say at some point that things like the Mech and Living Ships will tie into future updates? But that they were ready, so they released them.
mighty rampart
no?
bitter remnant
I'm sure there was some comment about the exomech in that way
mighty rampart
you're thinking of Synthesis
bitter remnant
maybe not the living ships
mighty rampart
Synthesis was apparently going to be a part of Living ships but they felt that having it be separate to Living ships would be better
timid mist
You might be thinking of the 4chan "leak" where the dude said "all the mech stuff will make sense soon"
mighty rampart
ohh
bitter remnant
Right... synthesis was mainly a QOL update wasn't it?
mighty rampart
yes
ship scrapping, terrain manipulator features and QoL like owning more than one multitool
bitter remnant
You might be thinking of the 4chan "leak" where the dude said "all the mech stuff will make sense soon"
@timid mist I may be.... hard to separate fact from fiction
timid mist
Lol yeah it can be tough with nms especially since news is sparse
eternal yarrow
I don't think he retweeted someones Gib this morning just for an official merch announcement. He probably just plugged it while we wait for more news ๐
timid mist
yeah tweeting the oranges again and then retweeting the gib wasn't just for merch
but I won't argue cause we'll know by the end of the day anyways
my guess is something at 11 when weekend mission is over.

and why is every youtuber saying that is what origins is gonna be llike
or its a void update*

the what now
halcyon pebble
EXACTLY
twin plinth
I think I heard about people talking about it from weekly missions or some shit.
Supposed to be an entity in direct opposition to the atlas i think
uncut harness
But that's the Abyss, not the void iirc
brazen igloo
Nothing is gonna be against the atlas since the atlas would have had to create it in the first place
twin plinth
i mixed that up haha
then I don't know wtf the void is
I mean, there could be outside influence maybe? Dunno
sullen drift
Might have gotten the word from "Void Egg"
uncut harness
Season 2 text dump, void appears a few times
halcyon pebble
hmm
uncut harness
maybe from there?
halcyon pebble
I dont rlly care for nms lore
I just want to explore
thats why I rlly home NMS origins is a generation update
sullen drift
I remember when The Abyss, Or a reference to it was all the way back in Atlas Rises..
And I thought it would be forgotten, Heh. Seems they planned to do something with it eventually.
halcyon pebble
Imagine if the update comes out tomorrow
halcyon pebble
I hope

By that possibly fake video, tthe update would add survival elements to the game?

we might get another poll when the 3 hours are up. Is another poll worth staying awake? I think not. Trailer is probably coming tomorrow.

There's orange planets already in the game?

@fathom notch the desolation trailer is electronic music and glitch sound effects, the spectrogram is going to look artificial cause it is

it just looks suspiciously like it's encoded with something, is all

nothing there
severe sun
@fathom notch load something by chipzel into a spectral analyser
you'll see the similar patterns

check the video pinned in the #glyph-investigation channel. That's the static used for the Desolation trailer, and it's a stock video.

yes but usually for smaller updates

Here's one https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Dimonimba

Yeah my thoughts too @serene ether probably orders of magnitudes less explored since a lot of people stop playing after beating a game.
Or they restart

You can always port back to previous galaxies if you have a base in them
