Summary
OneNo Man’s Skyplayer 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. WithDoge presenting one of the most iconic faces in meme culturethroughout the past decade, many within the gaming community have taken to paying their respects to the beloved animal in their own creative ways.
WhileNo Man’s Skyhas 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.
Fans ofNo Man’s Skyhave populated the game’s universe with some genius buildsover 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 inNo Man’s Sky’s virtual universe.
No Man’s Sky Doge Tribute
WithNo Man’s Skyboasting full multiplayer functionalitynowadays, 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 impressivecommunity builds are frequently spotlighted byNo 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.

WHERE TO PLAY
Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe. Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery. No Man’s Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe’s mysterious existence. How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets. The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
