In a past life at EA I worked for 8 years on the engine for the Harry Potter games - in 2006 it was a formative time because Order of the Phoenix was the first fully streamed, open world game that we'd made : from an old sd card.. the first time Harry ran around Hogwarts on PS3!

#NoMansSky Beacon 5.75 is releasing now on all platforms - amongst the other fixes, it contains a fix for a PSVR2 only bug that was exceptionally difficult to track down. I probably spent more than 15 hours on this one, which caused flickering on some types of grass and trees!

10 years ago today #Journey released for PlayStation 4! I had spent over 16 months working on the port with another programmer, guided by @SonySantaMonica and @thatgamecompany . I wrote a note that week on July 23rd 2015 and that post still sums up my feelings a decade later: —…

One of the bugs that has proved quite tricky to fix is now resolved in our current experimental build - this should make its way into #NoMansSky 5.74. The bug made certain base part textures low resolution and has eluded us for quite a while. Some more details: When looking at…

Thanks for reporting and posting this! Yesterday I fixed this issue in No Man's Sky after running with the Vulkan SDK1.4.313.0 validation layer! It also looks like the NVIDIA Streamline library has this issue, so I wrote up a report to them detailing your post and the fix.

When the Switch 2 dev-kits arrived in 2024 I was excited like a child at Christmas.. despite being 52yo! Today I got some more of that same excitement when the real console arrived at home - very proud of all the team at Hello and our hard work to make NMS a launch title, today!

The first raft of fixes for #NoMansSky Beacon are now out in our Steam experimental branch. These will make their way to the first 5.7 series patch, pending testing and feedback. steamcommunity.com/app/275850/dis…

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 dev-kits! So proud of the end result - it is a remarkable device and a big step-up from Switch 1!

Sometimes I'll crash because I'm constantly distracted by the shadows and wake of my ship 😂😂😂 but seriously look at this. @NoMansSky #NoMansSky @hellogames @Griff_
