In 2019 Hello Games sent out an article saying they were looking for ideas for their next game.
I was drunk and playing NMS and loving it, and I gave them one. Never got a response. Here’s my actual email, copy/paste no edit.
“Hi Hello Games,
Love NMS, Day 1 all the way through. You guys are an amazing team and thank you for what NMS is today.
Read an article saying you were exploring new ideas beyond NMS.
Here’s one. A planet. Just one. Earth-Like. Procedurally generated huge biomes. Cities. Jungles and deserts and oceans that would take years in real-time to explore, full of artefacts and ruins and secret caves of wonders. Hub towns and cities to build and take part in missions, hook up with others, etc. Animals to discover, log, interact with. NPCs of other cultures and races with rich histories and communities. Horses, bikes, trains, cars, boats, subs, planes etc to aid in exploration. Market places for trading with others and growing local economies.
Basically, No Man’s Sky, but on one absolutely huge planet. So big it takes real-time days to travel even by the fastest means to other continents. And super detailed environments, much more than NMS.
Thanks for hearing that out, hope it helps in some way!
All the best”
I think I should at least get a credit loollll
No agenda I just think it’s pretty great. Like, they’re making my game!
