A No Man's Sky player has utilized their more creative side to conjure up some parts of Guildford, the United Kingdom town where developer Hello Games is situated. While the No Man's Sky has base-building mechanics that allows fans to unleash their imagination, not many people would think of recreating something that's more true to life. Given the sci-fi nature of the release, it's more common for gamers to construct settlements that are more in-keeping with the space theme. In any case, it's just one of the reasons the game is celebrated by a dedicated community.Of course, it's not been roses the whole time. The recent 4.0 update of No Man's Sky was disliked by some fans, who expressed displeasure over some of the changes made to the game, such as the inventory system reducing the number of technology upgrades. Since then, the studio has put out a hotfix which seems to address many of these issues, and while there has been some backlash, most notably through people review bombing on Steam, it doesn't seem to have hurt the reputation of the game or its developer too much.While a lot of what makes No Man's Sky special is the ability to fly through space and discover new star systems, it also has a pretty solid building feature to go with it. Twitter use LordFrobozz knows this well, as they recently uploaded a video of their creative project, showing parts of Guildford recreated in-game. The town is located in the south-east of England and, as noted in a report from VGC, is home to a number of development studios, such as Hello Games. Others situated there include Media Molecule, and a branch of EA. The short clip shows some aspects of the town, including the Caribbean restaurant Turtle Bay and The Three Pigeons pub.
There's a lot of creative potential that can come from base building including one No Man's Sky player that made a replica of the bedroom from Toy Story belonging to Andy. For a game that had a disastrous launch when it released in 2016, things have certainly come a long way for this UK-based studio, and it doesn't look like the team is slowing down any time soon.
As well as working on a new project, Hello Games says it has plans for No Man's Sky, especially now the Switch version is out. There's no telling what the future holds for this galaxy exploration title, but there are more than enough fans in the community keeping the game afloat, even among some of the detractors who were not pleased with the 4.0 patch.
No Man's Sky is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
