How Jett: The Far Shore was originally more like No Man's Sky
La🐽test Edge reveals how the PS5 game underwent a rethink after Hello ꦕGames revealed their space-faring sim

Jett: The Far Shore, the intriguing indie that got a new trailer during last week's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation State of Play, was originally more like No Man's Sky, as re🥃vealed in the latest issue of Edge magazine. 🐼;
When describing the game's development, Craig D Adams, one half of the team working⭕ on Jett, explained what they originally conceived the game as: "Here’s a two-person team doing this videogame of large-seeming scope that relies on procedural world generation, because we had a bunch of that in there. And then, bless ’em, Hello Games pitched up with something that just sucked all the oxygen out of the room.”
Of course, ♎that something was No Man's Sky, the open-universe explore-a-thon that endured a rocky launch to become one of the most prominent indies in recent years. Adams went on to say: "We couldn’t exactly walk in aft﷽er that and say, ‘Hey, check it out – here’s another spacefaring videogame where you can get in and out of your ship and there’s procedural content.’”
Instead, the development team turned their focus onto the elements of Jett that were more distinctive, namely its characters and narrative. The thinking behind this, as Adam explains: "We had this fear: if you ship something that’s just a Jett and ecosystems, how many people do you lose who need a charact💟er and a story and a soul to pull them in?”
