Stage Demo: No Man’s Sky - E3 2015
Published in June 2015, this was 1 year before game release.
“Danny O’Dwyer gets to take a look at some new gameplay for No Man’s Sky at the E3 2015 Stage Show.”
Sean Murray discusses the challenge of balancing publicity, expressing the magnitude of such an ambitious and evolving project, and for such a small team, a sincere desire to manage expectations and hype. What a delicate balance the gaming industry is!

“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: Try to please everybody.” Herbert Bayard Swope
Quoting from Greek Composer/Musician Yanni in performance;
His closing words at “Yanni Live at the Acropolis” concert…
“I would like to leave you with a couple of thoughts:”
“A little while back, I was watching an interview with one of the astronauts from the Space Shuttle. And in this interview, he was describing his experiences while he was orbiting the planet. And he was saying how beautiful Earth looks from above. And he said that, much to his surprise, when he was going over Europe, he found that he was having a hard time telling the countries apart from each other. He said, the reason for that was, that the lines in the maps are not in the ground.”
“It makes a great point: These lines really don’t exist. They’re made up completely. And we perpetuate in the illusion that somehow we’re all different from each other. And I think the world would be a much better place if someday we stop pretending that these lines exist, and we concentrate in our similarities rather than in our differences.”
“And I just want to remember one more thing, that…”
“Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away. But life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.”
“Whether I’m painting or not, I have this overwhelming interest in humanity. Even if I’m not working, I’m still analyzing people.” Alice Neel “Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.” Miguel Angel Ruiz “Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” Henry Ward Beecher
No Man’s Sky is a giant sandbox. It’s full of potential; Could become anything, but can’t become everything. Such is impossible. So the developers are forced to pick and choose. And therefore it is impossible to please everyone. That’s why there are lots of games to choose from. Just as with food, fashion, cosmetics… Variety is the spice of life!
The ambitious undertaking that is No Man’s Sky… An infinite procedurally generated universe… Can only ever be fully realized over many long and enduring years. We must recognize every single aspect of this project (from development, marketing and beyond) as an admirable experiment, with little to compare to; A historic endeavor by the minds and hands of fellow imperfect humans.
We behold where this game started. It began with “a single thought”…

“Sitting down to write the first lines of code five years ago, I had such a clear picture in my mind of an emotion I wanted you to feel. To wander around an alien planet, and to feel you had discovered it.”
“At launch, it’s an infinite procedural sci-fi-space-survival-sandbox unlike anything you have ever played before.” “It’s a weird game, it’s a niche game and it’s a very very chill game.”—Sean’s NMS Blog; August 8, 2016
Hey thanks man! I’m humbled by the s/o.
