In an endless universe of infinite possibilities, where would you most like to go? If your answer is ‘Guildford High Street’, then, hey, you’re in luck, as fearless space explorers can now visit west Surrey’s most glamorous locale in No Man’s Sky.
Perhaps, first, a quick introduction for those who’ve yet to experienced the marvels of Guildford High Street for themselves; it’s the epicentre of a small town situated around 40 miles south-west of London that just so happens to be a thriving hub for the UK’s game development scene.
Poke around and you’ll find the likes of Supermassive, Media Molecule, EA, Room developer Fireproof Games, Criterion, Ubisoft – and, of course, No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games.
Needless to say, it’s the latter that inspired one plucky No Man’s Sky creator, going by the name Rasdar07, to build Guildford High Street in-game – a feat that they say took four days. “Started the build 2 months ago but my PC started to malfunction so I couldn’t continue,” they explained on Twitter. “Last week I got back in NMS and continued the build, and that’s the result”.
