History

Historical Context

The 2016 launch of "No Man's Sky" by Hello Games marked a significant advancement in video game technology, utilizing procedural generation and AI to create expansive universes. This innovation followed earlier milestones like the 2001 release of "Halo: Combat Evolved," which popularized behavior trees for NPCs.
