Getting that final bit of emulation accuracy will require a community effort that I hope some of you can help with. We are now at a point where that goal is in sight, but there we face one last challenge: accurate cycle timing of the SNES video processors. All of the Outer Wilds Ventures explorers are named after different rocks or geological processes.Further Reading Accuracy takes power: one man’s 3GHz quest to build a perfect SNES emulatorAs the lead coder of bsnes, I've been attempting to perfect Super Nintendo emulation for the past 15 years.If the player reaches a location where they can observe the alignment of all planetary bodies containing members of Outer Wilds Ventures that play instruments, their instruments will sync together as they all play the same song.The Protagonist - Latest astronaut to join Outer Wilds Ventures.Currently located on a island Giant’s Deep. Currently located on the north pole of Ember Twin, updating the observatory star charts. Currently located under the crust of Brittle Hollow. Esker - Director of the Lunar Outpost on The Attlerock.Flight instructor for recruits of Outer Wilds Ventures. Ground control for Outer Wilds Ventures and curator for the museum. This allows members of Outer Wilds Ventures to use their Signalscope to detect each other to ensure nothing bad has occurred to the other astronauts. Many members of Outer Wilds Ventures are avid musicians and play a variety of instruments, which they play continuously. After waking up the following morning, the new astronaut would ride the escalator up to the launch platform and board their ship, ready to explore the Solar System. They would light a campfire and roast marshmallows while discussing the recruit’s upcoming journey. After finishing their training, the new astronaut of Outer Wilds Ventures would camp under the stars with Slate before their first launch into Space. The primary tradition practiced by Outer Wilds Ventures is a pre-launch ritual. The translator would be used to uncover the mysteries of the Nomai such as where they came from, what they were like, why they came to the Outer Wilds System, and how they were wiped out. This device unlocked the secrets of the Nomai and was a breakthrough for Outer Wilds Ventures and Hearthian understanding of the Nomai, as it allowed translation of all Nomai text.

The Protagonist, with assistance from Hal, developed the Nomai Translator which allowed the astronaut to translate Nomai text into a readable format. Previously, the Hearthians knew very little about the Nomai. Some technology, including the scout launcher and ship’s artificial gravity technology, were created by reverse engineering Nomai technology. The recruits are then sent into space with the goal of learning about the Solar System, the mysterious Nomai, and to retrieve any artifacts they believe to be significant.Īs Outer Wilds Ventures was an organization composed of space explorers, they primarily used and developed technology that would be crucial to the facilitation of space travel, such as the spaceship, scout launcher and Nomai translator. It accomplishes this by training aspiring astronauts and equipping them with advanced space exploration technology. Outer Wilds Ventures was founded by Feldspar, Gossan, Slate and Hornfels with the goal of exploring the Solar System to improve Hearthian understanding of the Solar System and of the Nomai, an ancient race that once lived in the Solar System.
