No Man’s Sky—Game Details & Investigations: Portals/Seeds, Atlas/Loop16/Emily, Atlas Foundation/Tech, OldGods & More

That was a really good interview, I’ve never seen that before. That “Earth” question was really interesting. I wonder whether he was thinking about an Earth-like planet or whether he was thinking about a planet with civilization on it.

I never get tired of this meme. It blows my mind every time.

This was once just a wee little thread… And you guys are AMAZING! :muscle:

…strength in numbers.

Thanks for sharing the above video @MacForADay!


After watching this, I will be blunt.

Guy: “Is there a god in this game?”
Sean: “No!”

I think that’s the answer.


Did he change his mind?
Well I can’t answer that, lol.

I know. It’s just the way he then reacted.
But I think he was just being playful.

Can anyone elaborate? …Any weblinks?

GOD

…Sean Murray?

Perhaps it right then dawned on him!?

That every “content creator” of fiction …or sci fi …Every developer, architect, composer,

❝Every artist is god of his subjects.❞


Freewill? …Choice?

If God’s subjects choose to be “servants”… What a privilege it is to be loved by Him.

Yes… To be sustained with, daily life?! …Well it is an honor!


Who’s side would you want to be on?


…Massive Almighty Perfect God?
…Puny Week Imperfect Humans?


Wait! Sean Murray is a human. And so are we. What does this mean?

Old Gods

@oldgods
Puppet Master
49°51′S, 128°34′W

Bio…

Intended to sound godlike? …like a quote from a god? …or gods?

Is this a simple hint? …“hiding in plain sight”?


And what is this… 49°51′S, 128°34′W :interrobang:

Loop16… Codename for NMS?

16 = 16 “Old Gods” …perhaps.
Loop = Singularity???

Loop16… Unexpected Error?

…with the gods?
…or the simulation?

Are we the god? or gods? of the game?
Or is Sean Murray the god? …or are 16 developers gods (see twit pic; above)?
Or is he primary god, with they demigods?

…and us …undergods? …lol
…or simply “travelers”?

IF… “the lore alludes to such beings”… As “jaded intellects” that created the universe… {But doesn’t use the words “16” or “gods”???}… Yet Sean prior reacted, “No! Or maybe that’s us, wait… {w/ playful ‘mind blown’ gesture}”… And our WT ARG Puppet Master is @OldGods… And we were told to “look for clues hiding in plain sight”…

“Loop16”

Connecting the Twitter photo, with @OldGods
Seems a narrow stretch, yet certainly plausible.

And further…

What is Loop? …Singularity (infinity)? …“To the Maths”!?
And why… Unexpected Error?

Can anyone help prove this theory?
…or disprove it? …weblinks?

Questions…

Would you want to be ruled by “jaded intellects”?
Are these humans? …Programmers? …Aliens?

Do to Superlumina (time travel, or futuristic communication), etc…
Do they now reside in the… Past, Present or Future?
(What about us? What about then?)

Is this Hello Games? …The Atlas Foundation?
A company under them? …A rogue insider? …An outsider?
Or is the “real problem” yet to be revealed?

A mega supercomputer turned sentient?

The quote is from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol when Scrooge sees that he will die alone and hated, and wishes he could change this future.

The coordinates are from H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu

Hi Guys !
Arpoja here. I have been wondering about the symbols and drawings (directions?) that are on portals. (thanks to kr8ght for the colorized picture) It is somehow very similar to the 2 Pioneer Plaques that were sent to space respectively 10 March 2, 1972, and the second followed with Pioneer 11 on April 5, 1973.
I don’t know if that makes any sens to you guys, but I am curious to know what you think about it!

Nice find. The pioneer plaques used simple symbolism to communicate a message.
@kr8ght Portals: symbols/drawings. Directions? …It remains a mystery.

“Project Skyscraper was the codename for No Man’s Sky before its initial reveal.”

probably coincidence but “the small vertical line—representing the binary digit 1—specifies a unit of length (21 cm) as well as a unit of time (0.7 ns). Both units are used as measurements in the other symbols”! 7/21 july 21st!

Nice find!! :astonished:

Sure is nice to see a proper copy. Thank you! :man_astronaut:

Pondering all his interesting responses, it really makes me wonder what might be planned.

I wondered that, too. The 1st thing that came to mind was Corvax Prime.
But it seems that was destroyed by the Gek. Unless Portals enable travel to the past.
And yet that would just be one planet. Civilization does make sense, too.

Or perhaps, a 2nd universe? on a 2nd server? …a multiverse? …Hmm, never know.

With sci fi, and WT, the imagination runs rainbows. Anything is possible.

But regardless, now that NMS exists, there’s no telling what potentials await.
Especially with ProcGen… Things like Atlas Seeds… What could such mean?

I believe the coordinates used by Old Gods is the coordinates used by August Derleth, a contemporary correspondent of Lovecraft. Not the actual coordinates used by Lovecraft. Whether this is important or not??? It could also just be to reference the month of August???

…begin WT phase 2.

…the big update.


Sharp eyes :eye:
of needle point precision.

Elapse in Time…

I’ve spent the past few weeks in deep research and ponderings.

My next post attempts to unite our findings, together with new concepts.

Lots of theoretical thinking ahead!..
But might we have actually nailed this!?.. Never know…
