The video game "No Man's Sky" lets the players explore the galaxy, but exploring it alone can get lonely for some. Luckily, the developers of the game is changing that.
Players can tame most creatures in the game by feeding them, and sometimes even sit on them and ride them around while playing. However, when it comes time to blast off again, the creatures need to be left behind.
But not anymore, as "No Man's Sky" companions update will let players adopt their favorite creature and they can bring them along on their adventures around the galaxy, according to The Verge.
No Man's Sky pets
If you are interested in playing the mad scientist, your alien companions can also lay eggs. With the use of a new item that is found in the Space Anomaly, the Egg Sequencer, you will be able to make adjustments with the DNA of the creature and breed new species. You can also trade eggs with the other game players.
Saddles, accessories and other decorations can be customized and they are available for your pet too. You will be able to play with your companion and communicate with them, and your new pet will be able to help you out with your tasks as well, according to IGN.
Accoring to Hello Games, the pets can be trained to scan for resources, provide light, mark out hazards, hunt dangerous fauna, excavate buried treasure, find settlement, excavate buried treasure or even mine for materials with their own shoulder-mounted mining lasers.
All of it sounds fun and it is also a nice improvement for players who do not play multiplayer but would still enjoy a bit of company while they are travelling around the galaxy.
What is No Man's Sky about?
"No Man's Sky" is an action-adventure survival game played from a first or third person perspective that allows the players to engage in four activities, they are exploration, survival, combat and trading, according to The Guardian.
The player then takes the role of a specimen of alien humanoid planetary explorer known as the Traveller which is an uncharted universe.
They begin on a random planet near a crashed spacecraft at the edge of the galaxy and has a survival exosuit with a jetpack and a multitool that can be used to scan, to mine and to collect resources and to attack or defend oneself from creatures and other forces.
The player can then collect, to repair and refuel the craft, thus allowing them to travel about the planet, between other planets and space stations in the planetary system, engage in space combat with alien factions or make hyperspace jumps to other star systems.
While the video game is open ended, the player needs to follow the guidance of Atlas to head towards the center of the galaxy.
The defining feature of the video game is that almost all parts of the galaxy, including stars, planets, flora and fauna on these planets and sentient alien encounters, are made through procedural generation using deterministic algorithms and random number generators from one seed number.
