Honestly wouldnt surprise me

pure loom

I reckon we should focus on the Galileo clue, seeing as that’s where the last clue pointed harder at (confirming the clue from the day before).

When do you guys think... Next trailer drop is?
I think next week

granite walrus
#

If it is not by the 14th, then I predict it's late september

because of cod mw2

timid basalt
#

i think 24th

i doubt they would do it before mw2 reveal

they would have all the attention stolen away

it’l likely happen 0.5-1.5 weeks after mw2

And maybe playtest starting the same day?

i could definitely see that happening

a trailer and playtest drop at the same time

kinda like the matrix UE5 thing at game awards last year

After listening to it over and over for like half an hour it definitely sounded like 14th of September.

Also, the coins changed in the Make it Rain image - so it’s like the message was delivered with the gold stars.

A clock (Fig. 2) with a similar escapement was made by John Morcombe of Barnstaple, and placed in the Town Hall of Harton in the parish of Hartland. He new made " it in the year 1657-8, but the anchor or recoil escapement which replaces the old verge and balance must have been substituted at least ten or twelve years later. The pendulum was devised for clocks in the year 1637, when **Galileo** enunciated the law of vibrations or swings of the pendulum, i.e. its isochronism.

# timid basalt how?

Iseult (), alternatively Isolde (), is the name of several characters in the legend of Tristan and Iseult. The most prominent is Iseult of Ireland, the wife of Mark of Cornwall and the lover of Tristan. Her mother, the queen of Ireland, is also named Iseult. The third is Iseult of the White Hands, the daughter of Hoel of Brittany and the sister ...

solar smelt
#

Considering Iseul-t is a 'Bias Wrecker' I'm 99% sure that Iseul is just a name for a korean sponsor.

#

The term Bias is super popular in Kpop/Korean stan culture. Also the publisher is Nexon so no surprise Korean stuff (characters? sponsors?) are featured.

daring bluff
#

so they could name it whatever easter eggy thing they wanted

solar smelt
#

Iseul on the site files is named just egg 2 and egg 1 is ospuze so I'm considering them the same (just sponsors). You can even find both pages the same way. There maybe hiding an easter egg in the page/image but Iseul itself I'm almost certain is not an easter egg on their own.

daring bluff
#

im not saying they are EEs on their own just that they may contribute to the big EE

solar smelt
#

Fair enough but I would bet on that Iseul has nothing to do with Irish mythology.

tulip matrix
#

So in the teaser they have an [insert coin] screen at the beginning, 16-bit game music in the middle and then what sounds like 16-bit soundbite of laser guns. I wonder if the gold coins in the concepts are actually arcade tokens. thinkEgg

floral plover
#

👀 new EFT game. Coins are currency to play

pure loom
#

Pay to play. Outrageous! kek

tulip matrix
#

Maybe if we can figure out what game or games those sounds are from that might lead us to a clue

solar smelt
#

Hmm we've seen multiple times that players that die turn into coins so I assume it's just the arcade/arena aesthetic. But I wonder if the gamemode is to collect as many coins or possible or something.

tulip matrix
#

I think I'm parroting Rockhound, but perhaps gaining coins makes you a more valuable target to other players

solar smelt
#

Hmm if the goal is to collect as many coins as possible, then the player with the most coins may be marked.

#

Fun twist on the 'royale' style of games as the goal is not to survive but to kill and collect

#

I think warzone had that as a gamemode but it was with stacks of cash

floral plover
#

The coins kind of look physics based in older gifs.
I would say it is more or less a death animation. Makes it easier to throw into the chinese market

granite walrus
#

Will they sell the callisto protocol in china?

solar smelt
#

The death animation can technically serve both gameplay and cosmetic but for now most likely just a death.

#

Games that depict dead bodies and blood aren't allowed in china so I assume Callisto won't be

#

Though I believe that won't stop many people using vpns and stuff to play anyway

slender lodge
#

It's hard to play outside of China for regular Chinese people because the regular ISPs block all VPN access ànd also to access the internet you gotta enterr your social security number so they can track you individually and also if ur young then you only get certain amount of time of internet per day loll

solar smelt
#

LULW couple of my homies actively vpn all the time to watch twitch and play games with me no stitching though

#

The government is oppressive but not the techy apparently, it's not that uncommon.

slender lodge
solar smelt
#

🤫

#

anyway prob no blood, coins on death and could be a sneaky way to get this game there

#

No surprise since nexon does have a decent market in china with their games

pure loom
solar smelt
#

Yeah it sounds much more interesting than the old 'last team standing let's camp until ring closes' gameplay

#

Promotes pushing much more

#

It's a fun theory but there's a missing element since the game is literally called 'The Finals' and about 'Reaching the Finals'

#

maybe the poorest teams get knocked out of the game show or match

granite walrus
#

I can see it being a round based game like fall guys

#

Every round some teams get eliminated and some reach the final round

#

Could be interesting. I really like fall guys. They will release s2 trailer tomorrow if anyone cares.

pure loom
#

And the blinds could increase cover time

#

putting the pressure on

#

These lines originate from Pisa (Galileo birth place) and cross at the upper and lower boundary of Devon. If there is something in Ireland we are looking for (maybe relating to Iseult), then it should be between these lines for a "Devon Crossing" in a cartological sense.

#

I'm going to try setting up a wiki for all of this in a couple of days

slender lodge
#

tomorrow a new clue hopefully

#

tho im terrified to find more numbers before even realising what the current ones mean

daring bluff
#

hopefully more than just numbers

pure loom
#

Here’s a theory I have - it’s interesting that Iseult is called ‘The Bias Wrecker’ and that we, as a community, have already developed a clear bias to Eggward happy_friend compared to Iseult. There’s a chance this Easter Egg might include something about Iseult with Ireland being the basis for the Iseult story and our current Pisa-Devon lines on the map. Imagine if the way we “solve” the Easter Egg is to reach a point, as a community, once we know Iseult much better, where we’re asking for Iseult emojis more than OSPUZE emojis? I, for one, now want to know more about our “other” Season 0 sponsor. ElonThonk

Maybe the next clue will just be the fully released game

That would be neat

I just hope they put as much effort in the game as they did with this wild goose chase 👀

Crossing my fingers we see some gameplay on the 14th then we can actually know something tangible about what this game is

tight trellis

Do we know anything about Iseult

We know osp uze is a drink

Iseul-t

I wonder if the dash is relevant in the EE hunt

granite walrus

Where did Iseult come from? I'm out of the loop a little bit

pure loom
#

A legend dating back to the 12th century.

It's snowing on the finals leaderboard page for the bot. Any chance that's a clue somehow

unkempt crypt

It has been since day one 😉

#

believe me.. I'm an expert my this point

dense minnow
#

For instance, "The Finals" has 9 letters, so it means there must be something important that comes out in the ninth month, and "T" is the 20th letter in the alphabet, so the gameplay trailer will drop on the 20th.

You guys are crazy dedicated to this.

Imagine if the playtest starts as soon as we solve it. We’ll be like “why didn’t we think of the answer sooner!”

random magnet

That would be a cruel but fun Easter egg.

pure loom
#

The Battlefield 1 Fort de Vaux Isolement Easter egg gave away the Battlefield V trailer reveal date, and that needed a few clues too. A bit easier to get feedback within a game though.

#

The only thing we can really do at the moment is put a URL in to see if we find a new page on The Finals site.

#

Or guess something on here which the devs respond to.

@pure loom have you done a codesweep of the website to see if there are any hidden buttons?

Or that only makes sense when a new map is released.

mortal ivy

Used an extension to disable elements, show hidden stuff and whatnot

We're in that weird middle ground between having not enough people to even begin to solve anything and having way too many

We didn’t find anything. Except a hidden cart page.

Maybe there is something in the first teaser we saw for the game since it had the glitch effect happen a lot or they are hiding it in the music, Idk what it's called but there is a way to hide numbers and letters in music.

and rn we can't solve it because we don't have all the clues we need

lucid pebble

any estimation to when new concept art could be released?

pure loom
#

I’d expect at least weekly now. Probably more often

#

Isn’t it weird that Iseul-t has some K-pop feel to it, but also relates to a 12th century Irish legend. That’s a weird combo.

fallen jasper
#

So the lead singer of the cranberries is from Limerick. Their fith studio album is called Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. It came out on October 22nd 2001. The lead single seems to have been Time is Ticking out.

So obviously the release date for the beta is October 22nd

Maybe we should look at Cornwall too - because you must cross Devon to get there by land, and the Iseult link to Cornwall?

fallen jasper
#

Fairly sure the knight is from Cornwall

#

Oh

mortal ivy
#

But isn't it a bit weird to have two counties next to each other? Doesn't seem all that fun and games to me

fallen jasper
#

So it's Knight Tristan from Cornwall going up go Ireland to accompany Iseult and make sure she's safe as she's brought back down to Cornwall to marry the king of Cornwall.

mortal ivy
#

I tried to look at the number clues to see if they could give something else. My thinking was: What if they are both decimal AND hex clues at the same time? 🤔

nor= 49 53 54 52 48 50 49 53
dec= 1 5 6 4 0 2 1 5
hex= I S T R H P I S

nor= 56 54 48 49
dec= 8 6 0 1
hex= V T H I

But IS TR HP IS and VTHI doesn't say much and have had no success googling it, anagraming it or such

#

IS and TR makes me think of Isolde and Tristan, but other than that 🤷

plucky phoenix

i mean the second image with decimal being 8601 kinda confirms we are supposed to look at them as decimal being a date, imho

Hi.!
A quick follow up on this bug (we have not really figured it out yet (it’s like an easter egg hunt for us devs.!))… When we hide some objects in the level with a specific shader, it looks like some of the rendering features are still being rendered.

There is an island that is part of Devon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy

Lundy is an English island in the Bristol Channel. It forms part of the district of Torridge in the county of Devon.
About 3 miles (5 kilometres) long and 5⁄8 mi (1 km) wide, Lundy has had a long and turbulent history, frequently changing hands between the British crown and various usurpers. In the 1920s, one self-proclaimed king, Martin Harman,...

# daring bluff where is that from?

so one of the older concept art in their google drive was 1920x1080 but then Rob Runesson trashed it and replaced it with a replica (well, to the naked eye) that had a weird resolution of 1400x787

for me that made no logical sense to do that for anything but to add it as a hint towards an easter egg

since all their other images in the drive have a consistent resolution and their gifs also follow a squad/landscape resolutionb

pure loom
# slender lodge Yeah for sure It's my first time doing this kind of stuff so I dunno what's righ...

There's not too many 'rules' around these kind of Easter eggs - data mining is, generally, frowned upon because it potentially spoils the Easter Egg and circumvents the whole point of it - so, the info that was gained from the meta data in the samurai image was right on the edge of that, I guess. But then it looks like Embark won't that mistake again. Otherwise, the more wild the guess and links you come up with the better, I reckon. The Embark team have probably gone waaay deeper with this than we might even guess at. Think of it as playing 6 degrees of separation without knowing one end of the separation - so you can just select a bunch of linked things that relate to the clues we have and you might be right. Generally, if clues are given they'll help the community overcome one of the links that they are stuck with. That's about all I can offer from my Battlefield easter egg experiences and knowing these guys were behind many of those.

slender lodge
#

Thanks for the insight regards to the older BFEE stuff POG2
Yeah as you said there's gonna be a lot of guesses and a lot of links to be made here and there but damn it's a little terrifying to think what if we're not even scratching the surface of this EE?

#

What had been the most useful stuff to do in your BFEE experience as an individual/group?

pure loom
#

As far as what you get for completing it - once the game is up and running it could be some sort of status (like dog tags in BF). But at this stage it's more likely to be some kind of info - like another sponsor, or more info about the current ones, or confirmation of the playtest start date - that sort of thing.

pure loom
#

I agree totally. The BFEE community is pretty big and full of people that can decipher morse and stuff like that at the drop of a hat. More people will help. These easter eggs will probably teach you quite a bit. Like the Iseult legend for instance.

pure loom
#

Coincidences are often not just coincidences in this sort of thing.

slender lodge
#

I whole-heartedly regret being one of those people who thought it was just a pure coincidence

#

But then quickly realized that there will be thousands of coincidences while searching

pure loom
#

And it’s ok to many paths being explored at once - the 6 degrees of separation might have multiple correct ways to get there

#

At the moment, I can’t really think of any other “answer” we could come up with other than a new URL extension on The Finals website which reveals something, unless it’s something the Embark team do manually when we get the answer.

#

Yes, but a decent fable. Interesting that Galileo had 3 children (all outside marriage), and one of them changed her name to Suor Maria Celeste - makes me wonder where the name for Celeste from ARC Raiders comes from.

Oh, on a completely different tangent - The Bias Wrecker has usage when talking about K-Pop bands and there is a K-pop star called Iseul!

Exebridge is a village that lies on the border between Devon and Somerset, England. It lies at the confluence of the Barle and Exe rivers. Exebridge is named so because of the bridge over the River Exe that also marks the border between Devon and Somerset. It is located at 51°0′35″N 3°31′51″W.

A place maybe worth investigating

Named after a "crossing" (a bridge).

mortal ivy

I like this, it has a good feeling to it.

There's also a place literally just called Bridgetown

mortal ivy
slender lodge
sterile depot
#

D02F

slender lodge
#

oh right

mortal ivy
#

The barrel says Flammable Liquid 002f, i believe

molten wedge
#

I'm sure thats 002F not D02F

sterile depot
#

yes you're right

#

it's 002F

mortal ivy
#

Dusty's png version has this string <rdf:li photoshop:LayerName="Hi there.!" photoshop:LayerText="Nothing to see here, we promise.! <3"/> </rdf:Bag>

slender lodge
#

looks like a D

#

but also a 0

granite walrus
#

does it say "irk"?

slender lodge
#

they want us to look at only what's provided

mortal ivy
#

I know, but it's still fun 😄

slender lodge
#

lol ytu

slender lodge
#

ive found those kinda of things in many other concept arts

pure loom
#

These lines look unusual

slender lodge
#

try to up the contrast

granite walrus
#

The angle on the barrel is bad

pure loom
#

002F is unicode for a "/"!!!

Oh, I am blind - I had the right hand edge of the image off the screen! kek

#

its like an ascending order small to big eggs

#

just liek..

granite walrus
#

There doesn't seem to be numbers this time

#

like the ones on the corners

slender lodge
#

also OSPUZE is now called OG BEAN?

granite walrus
#

There is a / but what could lead to what comes after that 🤔

slender lodge
#

i cant read that

#

O? BE??

mortal ivy

og beans

so these are different

It might not be Iseul-t, but its 90% the same one as in Concept_001

slender lodge
#

why barells

#

molten wedge
#

What would happen if you did 2 slashes into the url?

mortal ivy
#

Barrels are core gameplay, id guess. But it's something with the naming 🤔

Ignore my 11/10 drawing skills

Also its flipped by 90 degrees

Not seeing anything special 🤔

following rocky's advice

Looks like a C on this "cap"

#

Oh yeah

slender lodge
#

BarrelsBarrelsBarrels = 3B = Converts to ';' if that means anything

#

try to also look at the image upside down or at an angle

#

sometimes you find some obvious stuff

mortal ivy
pure loom
slender lodge
#

this one looks closest

pure loom
#

At this stage, aside from the URL symbol in unicode, I'm really interested in the sun beams on the left - they look morse-y or binary-y elonJoint

slender lodge
#

yeah ive been trying to figure that out too,

#

they look a lil normalish to me at the same time but cuuld be diff

mortal ivy
#

My eye got caught on this scabbed paint immediately

#

But can't zoom in enough for it to actually form any kind of pattern

slender lodge
#

looks like a normal radial effect to me tbh

#

the sunbeams

pure loom
#

Yeah, I'm not seeing too much here that's obvious

sterile depot
#

I think i have found something

#

how do I share the image?

mortal ivy
#

you cant yet, you need yellow name

#

message someone yellow and have us post

#

okay

@sterile depot

@hardy eagle sent me this image with the text "It might be a reach, but it could possibly be a 04 here"

I messed with the colour channels a bit

mortal ivy
#

@molten wedge I flipped the image on it 90 degrees (so the barrel is standing up)

My wife guessed it's the numbers 1 2 5 or 1 2 6.

#

Agree, it looks a bit too bent to be a 5

Those pesky Embark artists smudged it

I spilled my juice on it /j

molten wedge
#

"/j"?!

cold forum
# molten wedge "/j"?!

I'm not sure if you don't know it's tone tag, but it means joking! I had no hand in making this image so it's safe from juice crimes.....for now

molten wedge
#

Ah ok

#

I am a uncultured swine

pure loom
#

I'm gonna have some breakfast and will be back in a bit, but here's the image inverted and inverted for you

cold forum
#

no worries! Tone tags are very useful for online discussion when tone is hard to read through text.

so brief lesson would be
/j = joking
/s = sarcasm

mortal ivy
#

Haha imagine not knowing tone tags! /s

molten wedge
#

People cant read my sarcasm in real life let alone in text 🥲

cold forum
#

Well now in text you have a handy way of indicating it!

mortal ivy
#

And next time, irl, just say "S!" after being sarcastic. Works like a charm all the time, zero percent of the time

molten wedge
#

Will do! happy_friend

#

yo, if the trailer is really tomorrow, are we meant to solve this puzzle in like less than 24 hours?

molten wedge
#

Maybe its the playtest date?

#

And not the trailer date

#

Same

mortal ivy
#

Same x2, i need some high octane gameplay and ok sized maps, no 10km stuff haha

molten wedge
#

Imagine if there is actually nothing in this new image xD

mortal ivy
#

Possible but uncool, with an ongoing easter egg hunt and all 😂 And that the layer text says "Nothing to see here, we promise.!"

molten wedge
#

There is no /s

#

Hahaha

tranquil ivy
#

POntential binary code maybe?

timid solstice
#

Any clues here?

#

Can someone catch me up

molten wedge
#

There is like nothing to catch up on haha

#

We found a few things but not really anything of significance

mortal ivy
#

There has been no real progress since iso8601 was confirmed

#

Just wild guesses and a lot of squinting

Anyone know what this is?

mortal ivy
#

@ Embark, don't go an efterkonstruera our clues!

slender lodge
#

didnt know about that

#

cuz i legit tried this

#

like a day ago

#

and it was error

molten wedge
#

Yup same

timid solstice
#

Same

mortal ivy
#

Yep, i did as well. Galileo didn't show up as a search result either

timid solstice
#

Dev typing 🤫

molten wedge
#

You scared him away sad_friend

mortal ivy

so galileo was canon

#

whoever figured that out 🙏

#

@reef trench

#

I believe?

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

That's interesting!

mortal ivy
#

Rob was gonna apologize or something, but they changed their mind 😦

hexed sonnet
#

If you mix the same image, flipped horizontally this appears in the middle, not sure if it is something

slender lodge
#

the forbidden X

hexed sonnet
slender lodge
#

so does the X now mean that we're closer

#

or does it mean that its the wrong path

slender lodge
#

rob stop typing if ur being held hostage

#

we'll help you

hexed sonnet
mortal ivy
#

@slender lodge Great thinking 🤔 Maybe they want to tell us that both devoncrossing and galileo are false paths and that we are stupid for trying to make our heads go through a solid wall

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

but it could go both ways

timid basalt
molten wedge
slender lodge

or maybe that are 2 important points

Woowoo

Rob the neverending typer

hexed sonnet
mortal ivy
#

We are atleast 100% sure that *devon * + *crossing * is right. The binary checks out and from the beginning the layer text said it as well

hexed sonnet
#

This is something

#

For sure

mortal ivy
#

😦

molten wedge
#

By god Rob actually said something

slender lodge
pure loom
#

If you flick between the two pages (Devon Crossing X and Galileo X) they are the same X

slender lodge
#

maybe they're like telling us that this is our clue

#

twice for effect XD

timid basalt
granite walrus
#

maybe we're looking for a checkmark ✅

slender lodge
#

one more X and it gets NSFW

molten wedge
mortal ivy
#

Then Embark legally needs to stop 🛑

slender lodge
#

we just cant go wrong anymore

unkempt crypt
#

I think the devon cross is to mark the railway that the HYPETRAIN IS COMING OVER CHOOCHOO

timid solstice
#

I worked it out

rain turret
#

doesn't x also "mark the spot" sometimes?

pure loom
#

So, with a X for Devon Crossing and one for Galileo, the X's almost act as a check mark to say "clue completed"

timid solstice
#

if you spell with capital G it doesnt load

#

also with the search that makes no sense

molten wedge
#

You have to have a lower case "g"

timid solstice
#

exactly, i didnt have that so page didnt load, what did others test from 10th sept?

molten wedge
#

Oh I see sorry Im half asleep

#

I swear I did it all lower caps yesterday

timid solstice
#

maybe if you had history on worth checking

slender lodge
#

dammit

#

did we get smth from the concept art today

timid solstice
#

today it does ofc

slender lodge
#

yeah they probs just enabled it

#

they havent added it in here yet hmm

molten wedge
#

Yeah I just opened my history and I had searched for this 2 days ago but I remember nothing showed up but now if I open the link it does

slender lodge
#

wait what

#

you were only able to search with 3 letters

#

now u can with 2???

#

doenst allow me

molten wedge
#

Huh, it doesnt allow me either

#

XD

slender lodge
#

hax

molten wedge
#

Now its not working

slender lodge
#

lmfao

molten wedge
#

If you type the search into the URL it works with 2 letters

#

It even works with one letter

mortal ivy
#

Yea, you are right. Haha, it overrides the minimum 3 character

molten wedge
#

Time to try the alphabet haha

timid solstice
molten wedge
#

just "t" comes up with ISEUL-T which I know isnt anything new just kinda interesting how 1 letter finds that lol

slender lodge
#

ayo

molten wedge
#

Welp, I just tried every letter in the english alphabet

timid basalt
#

nothing with 1 or 2 characters

slender lodge
#

try 0 letters

#

(:

timid basalt
#

i think it olny works if is the start of a word

slender lodge
#

yeah

molten wedge
#

Well the strange thing is just the letter t comes up with ISEUL-T

timid basalt
slender lodge
#

unlike the URL, this doenst have to be case sensitive

molten wedge
#

Wow ok

mortal ivy
#

nvm

#

Was just my cache

molten wedge
#

😆

#

I copied and pasted the 2 crosses and they are exactly the same down to the pixel

slender lodge
#

nicee

molten wedge
#

Random worthless info

slender lodge
#

the problem is that it's not symmetrical

#

my whole life is hanging on this one X

timid solstice
#

ok so are we saying that the clue today was the / 002F on the barrel, and thats to check the website

vale mason
molten wedge
#

Maybe we burn the cross

timid solstice
molten wedge
#

In devon

timid solstice
#

thats the only clue right?

I swear I can see the letter x and some others on one of the barrels but I was called insane by my friend lol

Too late, can't even tell the clock 😅

do you think there is a 'X' for each statue of the wallpapers?

Btw, on Slash's facemask it seems like it spells out OGU or 060

Maybe bgu?

slender lodge
#

on both sides i think

mortal ivy
#

Yea, it's on both sides, so probably just ornamental

guys, i took art in elementary school. let me tell you the meaning behind this new concept art picture we got:

  1. the guy with the rifle is old and bland, we'll call him Darrel, Darrel is a representation of former (unmentionable) games. while we all love them they are dated and old.
  2. the ninja is the counter to Darrel, he is lively and active jumping, literally leaping over the Darrel the battlefield guy. this means that The Finals is going to blow our expectations away and bring a new life to FPS games.
  3. now the barrels are an inside reference to BFEE and the A Beginning easter egg. at the beginning it said "message corrupted..." then people got real messages after an update. Barrel was in a message and it became Darrel. So the Barrels piling on Darrel in the image mean that we can expect way more easter eggs from The Finals and they will be greater than what our old friend Darrel ever saw.

trust me i was trained din art in elementary school. haha

slender lodge
#

i trust

mortal ivy
#

blue means that he is depressed, so i agree with your analysis

molten wedge
#

That explains why Im blue

timid solstice
#

The person that mis-translated still uses Darrel as his name now ahaha

It was discovered along with the OSPUZE and iseul-t pages

How odd lol

zenith hollow

it makes sense

molten wedge
#

Yeah 100% sense

pure loom
#

Maybe we have to guess what type of flammable liquid is in the barrels?

molten wedge
#

Could be something as simple and common as gasoline

Wait so there's 44 urls??

Dear god

Could be a reference to Bad Company - Beans, Bullets and bandages achievement

zenith hollow
#

thats beautiful

#

it looks like 3 numbers on the lid of the top barrel

pure loom
#

OG Beans is an anagram for "nosebag" - which, unfortunately, isn't the URL

zenith hollow
#

also a yellow barrel in the far back

timid solstice
#

looks red to me

zenith hollow
#

the one on the right?

#

looks red?

timid solstice
#

yes, lens flare is yellow + maybe lower explosion

zenith hollow
#

very well could be red

or

honestly

looks blue

mega OSPUZE bean can

the barrel is yellow

no way

It's not yellow

but definitely not blue

is it the lens flare?

Just looks like the yellow object behind the camera being reflected to me

#

like it is on the end of this barrel

zenith hollow
#

i thought it could be ground

#

no idea though

pure loom
#

Could the position of these holes in the barrels represent numbers, like on a clock, for instance?

zenith hollow
#

i wonder what that means

I just can't help but admire the photorealism of their concept art

zenith hollow
#

he had me hyped for a second

daring bluff
#

yeah seems like just a weird squarespace error

#

its fixed now whatever it was

solar smelt
#

Hmmgi maybe a squarespace error or maybe a sign the website pushed an update

daring bluff
#

Oo

solar smelt
#

I'm just coping of course, no clue. errors do happen

zenith hollow
#

no one has found anything from the newest art
