Highlights

  • Paying tribute to Doge, a No Man's Sky player created a pixel art build immortalizing the iconic meme dog.
  • No Man's Sky's building feature allows for endless creativity, with players crafting incredible structures in the game.
  • Players can visit others' bases in the game's multiplayer mode, potentially stumbling upon this heartfelt Doge memorial.

One No Man's Sky player has recently shared a pixel art build which pays tribute to Kabosu, the Shiba Inu better known as Doge who sadly passed away recently at the age of 18. With Doge presenting one of the most iconic faces in meme culture throughout the past decade, many within the gaming community have taken to paying their respects to the beloved animal in their own creative ways.

While No Man's Sky has always been an ambitious exploration game at its core, allowing players to wander endlessly through an unimaginably vast procedurally generated universe, one of its first major updates implemented a feature that has remained a key part of the game's identity for years. Originally added with the Foundations update, No Man's Sky 's building feature was initially introduced to allow players to construct their very own outposts and homes among the stars. Players quickly discovered countless methods of exploiting this feature to allow for even greater creativity when building, and Hello Games have since updated the game's building mechanics considerably to better accommodate player creativity.

Players who've been hit with various bugs at the No Man's Sky Orbital update may find a solution in the list of bug fixes this patch brings.

Fans of No Man's Sky have populated the game's universe with some genius builds over the years, from massive fortresses to fully-functional fast food restaurants. Of course, players have built plenty of amazing pixel art tapestries too, and one player known online by the alias The_Esp3r has constructed their own large-scale piece of pixel art that depicts the iconic image of Doge. The art was built on the surface of a desert planet with the intention of it serving as a memorial of sorts, permanently engraved in No Man's Sky's virtual universe.

No Man's Sky Doge Tribute

With No Man's Sky boasting full multiplayer functionality nowadays, players with multiplayer settings enabled can actually visit bases constructed and uploaded by others. This means that players traveling the universe could actually stumble upon this artwork by chance, though it's far more likely that players would intentionally visit the location by using portals. Unfortunately, the creator hasn't yet provided the planetary coordinates for the build, so players won't be able to make their own trips there just yet.

Many of the most impressive community builds are frequently spotlighted by No Man's Sky's developers, with players able to visit any such spotlighted bases via the interstellar terminus at the Space Anomaly social space. These sorts of builds are usually spotlighted after becoming popular on social media, so there's a chance that this memorial to Doge could receive the same treatment.
