I think that was a joke, my man!

There's a perfectly good reason why that is likely not a fake. There's an algorithm running in the background that makes sure colours are coordinated on planets or contrasted in aesthetically pleasing ways. What I think that Tweet means is they've found a way of creating more colour combinations on one planet (or creature/ship/gun) that still retains a sense of 'design'.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Oh man, that ship he just found....I am absolutely in love with the ship design in this.

 

[habithipster]

Do you think Hello will generate a new seed when the game launches?

As a gesture toward their fans maybe, probably wouldn't make much of a practical difference though.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I cant wait to see a fuchsia sunset.

 

[xxracerxx]

I think that is a volcano in the distance.

edit: Or some space cloud.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

that sunset on tiggles stream is beautiful.

 

[ymgve]

I think that is a volcano in the distance.

Nah, that's some space cloud light years away. Basically space background.

 

[xxracerxx]

Bummer.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nah, that's some space cloud light years away. Basically space background.

Still cool though!

 

[5taquitos]

yo his ship just landed underwater!

Edit: looks like a bug and he got stuck.

 

[Toma]

It was a trap.

posted before your edit.

this game looks so good!

 

[xxracerxx]

yo his ship just landed underwater!

But it does't want to take off it seems.

 

[Despera]

yo his ship just landed underwater!

He was able to enter it, but couldn't get out lol

Had to reload a save.

 

[xxracerxx]

Remember when people thought that the speed of walking around that was shown in the trailers and demonstrations was going to be the only speed there was?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

He was able to enter it, but couldn't get out lol

Had to reload a save.

See if that was me, I would've simply continued playing. Try and find a new ship or a space station, even if it was 2 hours away.

God, this game~

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

He found another ruin

 

[GribbleGrunger]

There's that flag again.

He found another ruin

That's what happens when you explore.

 

[xxracerxx]

He loaded his last save, but his ship is still underwater and damaged. I think he is looking for an outpost to call his ship to it.

 

[ymgve]

Now the question is if the ship manages to be summoned to him with broken thrusters.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

WOAH....THIS GAME....

That animal is crazy looking

 

[Despera]

it's like a fucked up version of Trico lol

That would be a really nice detail, annoying, but nice.

Pshhh

I would've abandoned ship.

I can't wait to see what the patch does.

I hope this game is like Minecraft in that they just keep adding to it. That'd be so awesome. I hope it does well for Hello Games~

 

[xxracerxx]

People will just say this is Spore 2.0, but I think it blends pretty well.


edit: Also, this mountain is massive.

 

[Kinitari]

Such a cool looking trade depot

 

[The Elite]

Oh shit. Just found a platform with ships landing.

Stream link?

And has anyone found the different genders of the same species yet?

 

[xxracerxx]

So I assume this is what would be called a Paradise planet, correct?

Stream link?

Still broken.

 

[The Elite]

Got his ship back. Good times.

 

[habithipster]

Looks great but the distance fog is a little annoying, makes the game feel claustrophobic. Is it always like this?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

We just saw our fist little adventure.

 

[Despera]

So all you have to do is walk for a bit and the game will generate an outpost at some point. Sounds good to me.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

No, it would have been there regardless.

 

[Tovarisc]

Yep, this is paradise planet.

 

[Landford]

This planet looks really amazing

 

[Despera]

You're saying that everything is calculated from the get-go and the game just renders things as you approach them.

So what if there was no outpost anywhere near him? Surely there's a fail-safe mechanism like respawing at the last visited space station when you're stranded on a planet because your ship is stuck under water

I don't believe that is how it works.

 

[King_Moc]

Just put this stream on. How tall is this mountain>? I can't tell with the fog. It looks much bigger than anything i've seen previously.

Edit: That's pretty tall.

 

[Fujinn]

This outpost is great. And is not underwater, thats a plus.

He would walk until he found one. Planets are huge so it may take a while at times.

There's always going to be a way off a planet but it didn't spawn it there because he was walking there, he just happened to be walking in the right direction.

 

[ymgve]

Still broken.

Yeah, but he managed to summon it at least. Would have been funny if it couldn't be summoned because some components were broken.

Also, I've made some quick notes about materials/crafting in the game: http://pastebin.com/WQZdCFAm

 

[More_Badass]

I love how chunky that ship looks. Like something out of a Ridley Scott industrial sci-fi world

 

[5taquitos]

Holy shit, that planet was huge

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Call me a sadist but I'd love it if there were things to find with a very low chance of being discovered, like a million to one chance or a thousand to one chance.

 

[Dreez]

Wow I'm sold.

 

[xxracerxx]

I wouldn't put it past them if there were some of that in this.

 

[Landford]

Some Stranger Things vibe from the soundtrack now. Fucking amazing.
