More information about how players can craft, trade and make money inside "No Man's Sky" has been revealed by the game's developer.
"No Man's Sky" is an upcoming science fiction adventure survival video game developed and published by British studio Hello Games.
In an interview with IGN, the game's managing director, Sean Murray, said players would basically be allowed to affect the game's economy according to how they want to do it.
One way players can make money is through the simple art of crafting. Players can simply descend on planets and use the resources found there to craft different items. Once they have finished crafting a specific item, they can then sell those to turn a larger profit than what they would have gotten from simply selling the raw materials.
Trading is also another viable way for players to make money inside "No Man's Sky." The many planets and spaceports inside the game place a different value on items, meaning players can turn a profit by simply taking one item from one area and selling it somewhere else for a higher price.
Since "No Man's Sky" does have a free-market economy, players are encouraged to try to find the highest value possible for each item they intend to sell.
The game's economy is also independent of the players' actions, according to Gamespot.
The game's AI-controlled characters will act on their own to impact the economy. They will travel from one spaceport to another selling materials and goods, meaning they themselves can dictate just how goods will be priced in different places. In theory, players can simply sit back and watch the economy grow if they choose to.
Players can also share what they know about different planets inside "No Man's Sky" so as to help others maximize profits for the items they intend to sell.
"No Man's Sky" has yet to be given an official release date, but it is expected to be out for the Playstation 4 and the PC sometime before the end of the year.
