Noctis! I loved this game. Up until a few years ago I kept visiting his website, in the hopes something would come up again about Noctis V, lol. He used the term "Home sweet pixel" too back then I believe, but also "The web territory of Fottifoh" or something. It was al very interesting.

To me it wasn't really a precursor to NMS, but more to Minecraft. The "infinite" terrain on worlds is what kept me interested.
