Anniversary Update Speculation(with spoilers)

Note: these are not re-tweets even though the pics came from other users

Well, the only common thread I can see between these pics and his original ā€œhintā€ post is something to do with spheres - particularly two spheres.

A pair of eyes is two spheres, and the twin colossaal archives feature two spheres. The Huldera pic also shows spheres (but not two).

What does it mean?

I have no idea.

Actually, in both pics there are four spheres of different sizes. In the first one, two Archive globes, and two planets. Just me being analytical. :yum:

By the way, I’m mooning over Golden Open Acrylics - slow drying - which I can’t afford yet, grah…

A sharp eye on Reddit may have found something related to a Sean tweet …

… However, this seems refuted in the comments.

Could this be a suggestion of something beyond (or through) the Boundary Failures found on exotic worlds?
Perhaps some sort of cityscape/citadel/dungeon type feature.
A portal of sorts to a ā€˜new’ or altered galaxy or dimension. :thinking:

I hope this isn’t a suggestion it’s the end of developing NMS! :scream:

I’d guess that Hello Games will keep updates coming at least through the release of their"next big thing."

At that point they may scale down to bug fix mode.

Or not. Sean said that updates also depend on being something that their devs really want to do. Gotta feed the creative soul too, you know

Lord, I hope so. I’m hopeful that Team Mercury still wants to do something truly ambitious that adds in something cinematical or fanfictional, something on the order of them weaving / writing another story arc into their universe. Something on the order of the Waking Titan ARG and the Artemis quest. I enjoyed the heck out of that, ending aside. Something on the order of BIG. I wants this, I wants this, I does… :pray:

It should have been a fart fish. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: But that might have been tough to fit in a small frame.

Well, back to scribbling for that darn painting.
