Hello Games

The idea for Relics came from one of our team playing Animal Crossing with their daughter. The idea of collecting fossils for a bone museum fit perfectly with several elements of No Man's Sky: exploration, collecting, procedurally generated creatures, and the modular customisation system we'd established back in Echoes.

Video game publications cover No Man's Sky pretty regularly, but this update earnt us a tongue-in-cheek article in a museum industry magazine. The author noted that "While Relics is certainly fun, as a museum professional there is a lot that I found concerning." "I'm [...] troubled that said relics are then promptly shipped off to your home planet to be displayed in your own private (unaccredited) museum."
