NMS is for all intents and purposes now a testbed for LNF features. But LNF is not going to have the same story as NMS.

Hello Games' upcoming game Light No Fire discussion, news, etc.

True, I guess I focused on mechanics.
Still, that just sounds like the players will become too familiar with the mechanics that LNF doesn't have quite the same impact at launch. Wouldnt want to burn everyone out of your new mechanics before you release the game they are supposed to be featured in imo
cannibalizing?
pfft. let the devs dev. stop second guessing every thing they do as some plot to cannibalize something ffs
I second-guessed exactly one thing. Chill out a little bit.
what makes you suppose that backporting new development to an old product takes ANYTHING AWAY from the new product?
It's your terminology that needs to chill out. And your assumptions.
Look, I asked a question about a game, and you came in here telling me what to do.
I'm open to having a discussion, but the way you started it was needlessly combative.
you posted a whining, hyperbolic query that in no way is based in reality. that's the discussion we're having. and my reply is: let the developers of these games MAKE THEIR GAMES without your misguided and asinine assumptions.
"Does anyone worry that backporting features to NMS may slow LNF's development cycle?"
That's how a normal human would seek info. Telling me I'm being needlessly combative for pointing out your shitty attitude is hilarious. That you're a MOD, is just... wow... gonna block this community now so I will no longer see your bullshit, because I don't even want to get on this train.
Oh no, please stay, you bring so much to the table.
I think the primary differentiating factor will just be the nature of the world. 16 quintillion planets is going to feel WAY different than 1 massive one. HG also implied that LNF will be an MMO - something I, frankly, still have a hard time believing given NMS's network issues, but I can't imagine they'd overpromise again.
