A Quick Explanation on How Procedural Generation Works in No Man's Sky

This is a 5 minute version of some of the cool math and concepts behind No Man's Sky's procedurally generated terrain. I'll do more videos on the actual algorithms behind these concepts in future videos, new stuff every weekend!

I did a stream of NMS yesterday, which you can see here:    • Video   Please let me know if my stream archives accidentally get in your sub boxes, or if you'd like me to move live events somewhere else. I think I am going to stream from this channel from time to time, but upload the archives to my second channel. I don't want anyone to be spammed, as this is not a gameplay channel.
