Hello Games, the studio behind No Man’s Sky, is directing their gaze away from the infinite promise of space in the upcoming Light No Fire, a game that promises to reproduce a single planet that dwarfs the one that we live on. That includes all the climbable mountains, some of which are “miles high, taller than Everest,” according to the project lead.
“For No Man’s Sky, we generated a whole universe of sparse alien-looking planets and that wasn’t easy,” explains founder Sean Murray during The Game Awards. “It was hard, but there is something much harder that we wanted to do.” That something is Light No Fire, a game that generates the “first real open world” in video games, on a single fantasy planet that’s “bigger than Earth” and “without boundaries.”
