    I have been spouting mostly nonsense to my friends about NMS, but I truly think NMS has essentially turned into Light No Fire alpha testing. So much of the changes they have made lately really feel like they are trying to flesh out the “small scale” parts of the game, so they can be implemented in some fashion into LNF’s single planet gameplay.

      I guess you could call it alpha testing, but I’d just call it smart development. They have to make these things anyway, so add the pieces that work into the existing game so you can make more money while you work on the new game. You also get free press and good PR for giving existing owners more stuff. It only makes sense.

      (There are some people who will cry “asset reuse” and complain probably, but in what world is doing more with less bad? Reusing stuff you made is smart and good so you can focus on new things.)

        no way, feels great. Having more stuff to do on the planets you go to is part of a space game I feel

        Why? I don’t like fishing myself, but many other people do, and it doesn’t really feel out of place to me, it’s just an activity like any other.

          I just dont find it convincing that in a far away future, in a space simulation created by a degrading super computer, people would still fish and especially that they would fish with fishing rods!

          Sure it is enjoyable, for some, but i feel that there should be some sort of coherence to the theme of the game instead of simply adding element’s that people find enjoyable across any game gengre.

    what if… Light No Fire ends up being just a huge #NoMansSky update? 🙀
