Case Study: Hello Games engages its community with Etch's Galactic Atlas

Hello Games launches Galactic Atlas with Etch, mapping 800+ community points of interest

The customer, Hello Games, faced the challenge of surfacing and celebrating the significant community initiatives within its No Man's Sky player base, which were only known to a small subset of its most dedicated fans. They partnered with the vendor Etch to create a new extended experience that could engage and retain their wider community.

Etch developed the Galactic Atlas, a web experience that provided a directory of community regions and a digital scrapbook for player-submitted stories. The solution far exceeded its original scope, ultimately plotting over 800 points of interest from thousands of community submissions. The launch by Etch was a major success, receiving positive coverage in industry media and providing Hello Games with valuable marketing collateral and a new tool for ongoing player engagement.
