I spent around a year of my life spread over 2024/25 working on the NMS Switch 2 Edition - one of the most top secret projects I've ever worked on.. we even had a secret room to hide the dev-kits! So very proud of the end result - it is a remarkable device and a lovely big step-up from Switch 1!

At 18 years old, around about 1990/91 and just a few years into learning 3D graphics I worked with a friend, the late Jose Commins to create our first 3D world on the Atari ST. It might seem primitive and crude, but this was a foundational step for me from there to #NoMansSky

On the #NoMansSky Worlds Part II website there’s a lovely video sequence with multiple ships creating water wakes as they fly - here’s the first time 5 months ago that our talent graphics coder(Tom) demonstrated a ship’s wake on a still water surface. Blown away then and even more now

I Just noticed #NoMansSky is once again in the top 20 world wide best selling games on Steam. This is humbling and a lovely nod to our team’s hard work. Best of all I think it guarantees we continue to make the game even better and you all get to share our ongoing dev journey x.

An older video for those not on X - showing our streaming tech in the debate about smoke and mirrors in space games - the #NoMansSky debug camera and how it looks these days .. a demo of how seamless and powerful our engine is! PS5 running here, with video from an iPhone… 3 planets in 50 seconds.

A first set of post release #PS5Pro optimisations, along with some fixes for minor graphics bugs are now making their way to our next update. This incoming #NoMansSky patch includes fixes for older Xbox consoles to resolve image quality issues with water, warping and motion-blur.
