No Man's Sky is an upcoming science fiction video game developed and published by Hello Games. It will feature a procedurally generated open world. For those who don't know what that means, procedural generation refers to content generated algorithmically rather than manually. So the world is randomly generated on the fly. (Think Minecraft on a larger scale.)

Announced at VGX 2013 alongside a trailer, the game is seen to feature planetary exploration, deep oceans, space-based battles, and potential predators on the various procedurally-generated worlds. Each world has its own ecosystem with potentially unforgiving conditions, such as desert worlds with large carnivorous worms.

It seems like the multiplayer aspect is more in-line with Spore in that while every player will leave a lasting impact on the overall world, there won't be actual player interaction. But that is purely speculation on my part.

Oh yeah. But the fact that it was just from four people says how talented they are. I'm definitely interested in where this goes.

yeah for sure. Games like this are what's gonna push the next generation to it's creative limits, can't wait.
