Thanks lightclaw
no worries!
I’m so glad we have you as our grand isle lore librarian architect person
Until Dondi comes in and says "No"
It’s okay he can’t hurt you here..... at least not yet
he can
Well, in #isle-discussion I'm too weak
but at least in this channel.
He wont see anything unless no one says anything till he's on next
True true
which is usually in the morning my time.
So I get a bright red ping of death if it's by Dondi
I cannot wait to get my hands on the new lore tho deadass going to go watch some game theory just to know all the de-coding shit
🙂
But yes. Last piece of proper "decoding" was just the morse code tracks
I do wonder if they are going to throw in some random ass “decoding” shit like stuff no one really uses just to fuck with us
Yeah decoding is fun but being able to actually find stuff in game is even better
yes
Have you all ways been into the lore ?
yes
I'm a storyteller irl (actor and film maker)
Although the "film making" part is mostly films I do in my own time because I hate the industry
Cool and fair
I used to be in this channel all the time for that juicy lore then it got deserted saddest day of my life
true
it was a shame to see it just sizzle into this
Which isn't bad.
Dondi loves this 
Guess it dose just leave the people who are really interested
yeah
Which makes us all cool kids 
Yes
Tbh
There’s probably some more stuff hidden in the Evrima files like with the old Chinese character RGB picture that was decrypted a while ago.
First time I heard the morse code music in evrima was super cool, that was during the test recently I think. Hadn't heard it before then because music was all janky so I just kept it off 
can you show me what it is
I can't? I'm just saying a theory.
oh I though you are saying there is a picture decrypted in game
Mostly just played in human areas

<@&933486433342222376>
Yeah it gets played a lot near port but I have heard it a few times in other places
damn got deleted too fast for me to reply
Ty whoever fixed it
Yeah, since the music update
Pretty much human areas being the one place(s) that always plays music when there
Any idea if that will always be a thing? Makes me wonder if its similar to the static in legacy but a less annoying version
Well dynamic music is in early development
It'll probably play a lot for dinosaurs
And just more random
I didn’t even know humans were going to be in isle evrima
If humans are coming in update 6 we will probably get to rebuild the human structures
Where’d you get that from??
Devblog and discussions about human gameplay
"Another note for Update 6 is our intent to bring the Gen 2s to the live branch so those of you that want to view the game through the eyes of a human won’t have to swap to lonely servers just to get the first-person perspective of the game. Which also serves to provide us with important information on how to make their gameplay visceral."
from the most recent dev blog (#27)
https://youtu.be/f2VmiKmAy7Q is this real?
Dondi, just earlier today, has showed us two VERY important things:
- Beipi swimming mechanic
- A new potential Isle "Arid" map
It seems quite interesting and I wonder if this is Jace's "Secret" or something else.
Till the next time! Stay well
Dondi posted the screenshot and gif yesterday in #isle-discussion
Probably not by update 6
isle lore doc pls
definitely
There is one in the pinned messages
@acoustic osprey Would you like to make a new google doc for lore things?
Basically an updated version of Hellshade's?
every time i hear the isle soundtrack the main powerful one makes me feel how much potential the isle has
Sure
I'll give a few guys like you krayt permission, just to put things in whenever you can.
Unless you don't want that
Which if you find anything, just DM or @ me
Also this will include things such as Dondi gifs and quotes from the discord
Does he update his stuff?
I guess there isn't a need to since Hellshade updates his stuff.
I'll just send the stuff to him via DMs.
last time i checked was talking about making a new one before
True
HellShade, however, is barely active anymore
could still do it just to keep all the old shit out of the new
Okay.
do it lightclaw
Let's structure this one properly.
Weird idea but imagine a scenario where in the isle universe a group of people end up capturing pretty all of the dinosaurs on the island and release them on mainland for some reason
no
Yes
oh
jw moment
I died falling off while making a nest
#isle-discussion tell the world
In and out of writing my lore doc now
A hefty amount of "Evrima in-game/trailer" stuff from HellShades' doc will still be in there obviously
But I have already started placing some smaller stuff and Dondi quotes
thank you
hello in the future of The Isle will we have playable prehistoric mammals like the Smilodon and the Mammoth you think ?
Wrong channel, but probably not anyway
sorry and thanks for the reply
Lol
Gone over a few of Dondi's stuff from recently
And not just Dondi but others
A few things I'll probably leave out of the Doc
I'll probably have the doc be a hybrid of lore collection and speculation
With better more visual and aural recaps on my channel soon
I do want to try and change the formatting up a bit though
Honestly a bit too similar to HellShades
I am completely uneducated in the isles lore. But
Do we know if the animals escaped from facilities
/
We're deliberate placed onto the island. And things just ended up going to shit
Or what?
Most likely escaped some how, maybe. Who knows
I think the thing I'm most interested is time frame
How recent are the events of the game. Relative to everything presumably going to hell
I like the idea that there are 3 islands.
Or more, but for this scenario, 3 is good.
Yes
Spiro, main island
Velada (?) Hidden/special operations island
And maybe one other for something else
One where its purely genetics, a main site. This island is filled with human buildings, transits, etc. Then a Site-B. This site is similar to JP’s Isla Sorna, where they just let animals loose and live off their own. There are still human structures since its main purpose is to monitor the assets. The final site (or not) is a Site-C. This is a black site and a “restricted section”. This houses Atriums, Tartarus (if its still canon), the Matriarch, etc.
Yes
So
Spiro -> Main island/Most publically known (if publically know at all)
Velada (if real) -> either playing as the Site B or "Black Site"
I do wonder where Tribals were placed
Spiro? Velada?
Both? 
Anyone considered that Legacy and Evrima were just separate islands and the creators of the dinosaurs considered the island legacy took place on to be a failed project and decided to start fresh on a new island?
No
Because legacy's lore pretty much contrasts what said with Evrima
Although, some aspects of Legacy's lore will probably be transferred into Evrima
Anyone remember that giant skeleton in one of the lakes in thenyaw?
Thank you
alright, got on my PC to see it brighter
I wonder what K15 means
Why would in-universe people use a map tile for locations though?
You can probably pin point WHERE this is by setting an X and Y axis on Spiro's map
then equally distribute an A-Z for both axis
Who knows.
They don't need to use lat and long because it's an island.
And this isn't a public place, they don't need to go by street names
We gonna have to get one of those video editors to brighten up the image
Going into Premiere right now
Let's go old school 2019 fnaf
lol
was about to say brighten that mf
Got anything?
depdning on old lore and if everything has meaning dont we have another thing known as gateway?
Gateway seems to be because it's literally a gateway
im graspingggg
Its just a facility
like the gateway into the park area of JP
Pretty much.
But I think collecting down the "K15-C2" (supposed coordinate) is good
not knowing what lore parts are still in and whats out is going to break me
Yes
the end is never the end after all
^
Thinking about it again.
It can't be a map coordinate
Unless it's a specialised coordinate system we don't know about
sea of thieves coordinates
Or it's just a numbered gateway
could just be its name
Facility designation perhaps?
based on old lore, gateway was a facility holding EIPs that transport to Tartarus
yes
yeah that was what i was talking about
Where do we think redwoods will be? I assume it'll be on this map or a possible new currently worked on Jace map which I doubt
But I presume this is just a normal gateway.
Maybe into The G.U.T.S.?
which this could be depednding on wether or not old lore is in
what is the Guts?
Generic Underground Tunnel System
a system that connects tunnels with caves, etc
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. THATIS WHAT IT WAS
yes
this is why we need to figure out if their doing the whole "everything has meaning" or not
I can see that.
like JWE dominion
like if u see the same name twice you know shits up kinda stuff or even places
Most likely.
But what is it, to say
where do we think our redwoods will be? For all you know, that Jace POI is in the redwoods part of the map
Told you Dondi 🙂 👍
I assume that northern area on the Map
Either this map or the supposed Isla Velada
Now I’ve gotta rewatch the previous footage for similarity’s of the text
last time I thought everything had meaning, i found a newspaper on the V2 map and it got shut down
V3
lol
hopefully with evrima everything will have meaning tho since they can make everything their own models
SINCE WHEN WAS THERE AN ISLA VELADA?
Leaked file name.
Who knows if it's real or not
WHERE IS ALL THIS COMING FROM
where was the leak?
reddit
and others
reddit dose pop off with the leaks
So are we getting an entirely separate Jace map with redwoods?
only thing that caught my eye
You see the forest just to the east of the ne? I think it might be there
circle it in red lunchbills like a shitty youtube vide
I’ve fallen down this rabbit hole now cause Lightclaw baited me in here now I’m gonna be obsessing over this for months. Gotta figure this out. AHHHHH
Yes
welcome to the circle
I presume K15-C2
If for The G.U.T.S
Might mean the tunnel system to C2
K15 to C2? 
Let your inner matpat run
I 50% want a new map and 50% don't. On one hand, a smaller full Jace map would be nice, but on the other hand, we have a pretty good map so far
Lunch you know you can’t let this pass you by, it all begins here
Fine
you may be able to use real world buildings perhaps to tell?
as in tell what the numbers and letters mean
Well rn we are stuck in the nw of the island
Unless there are numbers like that in-game, then no
now im stuck wondering what is going on w/ the lore lmao
I wonder if redwoods will be in a giant walled site
currently we are floating around in the abyss untill dondi gives us more
Lol
Always
Imagine your a quetzal minding your own business when you just see this giant redwoods area thats completely different to the rest of the map
I would steer clear.
I wouldn't even get close
Considering that its a very dense forest
As most redwoods are
im assuming these numbers or this place will be important if it is some juicy lore
Though if I was something lets say the parkour specialist that is the Herrera I would investigate
there was an old saying about posiedon and hades dealing with the phases
don't remember
i think Hades was something in the lore would have to look through old doc
Yeah
Seeing as Evrima is still a Greek word
We're probably still getting lore related to Greek mythology
i think Hades may have been a place?
Hyper Carno was a code name I believe for Hades
something about, in your third phase, hades will rise from the underworld and the phantoms will roam the sky idk
hoping its in the old doc
What was the second phase
So idk about the whole lore, just got into it today, but, the 3 main greek gods are basically like the strains for here? 3 strains, 3 gods?
don't remember tbh, if old lore is considered, I'd rewatch meatylocks videos
Hades turns up in the legacy logs a lot… don’t think it’s related to just the carno
yeah that was said before, not just tied to H Carno but something more
They may be talking about hades(the place)
It mentioned a Utah incident, something about hades-5, I think
their was something called Hades protocal
Gotta check the logs again
this, found my old lore folder
And the whole matriarch thing gives me Mother Rhea vibes, about like the not taking her offspring, "Cronus eats his children". idk its hard to explain.
That was tartarus
Forgot how to spell it
Mother rhea?
mhm, the 3 gods' mother. for some reason it just reminded me of that. 3 strains, 3 gods, the matriach/mother and mother rhea
^
And Magnas existing 
I thought magnas were a species
we can ahve movies nights ecpect we binge old lore videos and cry that we dont get enough lore
Not a species, not a strain technically
Oh i mean genus
No
their the natural guys aint they
But thats just confusing
Something about the purest/best version of the Dino
Honestly can't remember
Meaty lock iirc said they’re natures way of fighting against imbalance
i feel i remember something about them being a natural kinda thing
of hypos i think it was a better version of them
They're not true natural, but from Phoenix International
plus isnt magna rex the one from primal carange
Yes
Yeah the rex looks a lot like it
Thronebreaker is spino
they were the hypos right
Big daddy is Rex, another name too iirc
If they were trying to create the perfect organism why start with a dead species
But PC's Rex is Magna Rex
THE DAMN NUMBERS MASON
I had no idea how deep this went…
Oh wait thats b433 not b443
Yes
What was project inferno again
Operation inferno
O
stealing
Oh right they stole asset dna
Hey guys I went past the wip docks a few weeks ago and there was some music with some morse code
lil bit of thievery
And death of PC Rex
Yeah, SOS and B-
SOS and b?
Yes
interesting
With this level of plot I’m half thinking dondi was the mastermind behind cicada 3301
Anywaye i gotta go to bed. I hope yo see you later
Night bro
Ciao
I like to think that Æ has hacked into PI radio waves using that to determine when to steal the assets but in doing so they received the call for help
found that thing about phases
Night
Yeah, I believe it has no correlation to #isle-phase-three
But maybe yes
Ngl the isles lore is legit like Aliens. The perfect organism, matriarchs blah blah blah, its got some links
alphonse is quetz yes?
ye alphonse or alfie i believe
But we got nothing of throne breaker
?
Yes
Yep
Im not to familiar with aliens lore but ik a lot of the yautja
Whats a subroutine
the past me would have known
Lol
Lol time to use google then
i would explain but i simply cannot
It's likely something not too complicated
a routine I assume, but sub lol
a set of instructions designed to perform a frequently used operation within a program.
Probably related to acquiring 442 and 443's samples
Possibly they wanted to preserve them but they couldn’t but still managed to get their samples?
Probably not
But that's old lore now
Yea true
the dilemma is tying together what once was and what now
^
yeah thats the main issue
long ago pc wasn't affiliated but it is now
Dondi why must you torture us
please Dondi grace upon us more lore
Aliens: looking to create the perfect organism, w/ each organism coming from a host absorbing their dna, and say it was a queen, she would pass that on. thus a chain of spread offspring who absorb other dna. Jockeys want to use them to wipe all life off planets to restore them, ppl want to use them for war. They get out, chaos. The matriarch being giant goes w/ alien lore as the matriarchs are bigger, deadlier. aliens also adapt well to diff enviorments. they r related in a way and i can look to see if theres anything else that could match up which may feed into what could maybe be isle lore. Ill also hopefully remember to do some research on greek mythology, see if anything appears there
Yep
Good to know but I didn’t expect you to explain it here
the issue with greek lore is that their are many many different variants of people and places alot of the time they share similar things but they can also be wildly different
Where Tribals recent? Gen 2? Etc
true
curse the isle lore
in terms of when they were talked about or?
No, when they were made.
And where were they placed
How where they positioned
What were their purpose, etc
Man if only we had a transmitter again
Gone and now it seems like it's irrelevant
Sed
Seeing what dondi said
Where?
tribals were indigenous iirc and some worshipped echinda (one of the strains) which turned them into eyeless people
Replicator, and was mothered by Echidna
Hence the name Mother of Cannibals
defo sure they had to make gen 2 because first guys started worshipping and not following along with what they wanted them too
Yes, they went insane
there's a transmission that explains the first generations turning to worship
^
Now it's all dubious, thanks dondi

tbf, he did say some time ago, the community pushes the story forward, but idk how that works now
Probably something along the line of how Sea of thieves has done it recently
dondi just comes in here and takes fan theories and makes them into the lore
And probably mostly done through Gen 2
Makes me lore theories true
lightclaw gets added into isle lore as some guy
Untheorying the theory
Yay
Doctor Issac
if lightclaw gets in i want in
True that
Lol
flashbacks
Haha

OMG THE ACCESS CODE IS ##########
YOOO
Im hacking into the console now
Damn it
Veiled island
Or evening island
One of those ones are better and makes sense lore wise
Veiled sounds better and could make sense as veiled means hidden and currently it is hidden
Yes
What’s g.u.t.s?
ligthclaw were is your doc so i can stare at it
put lil dino stickers on it
Sure
LETSS GOO
The video in #isle-phase-three wasn't posted by Dondi so i doubt it has anything to do with lore
#isle-lore-theories message
Well I'm taking this as one of three things
Either.
- He's congratulating me for working on a lore doc
- Telling me to inform the person before
- Get ready for #isle-phase-three
As I remember telling him that I presume #isle-lore-theories would become more populated when more lore things are posted
And we had a pretty sustainable chat till around 2 hours in
Which is VERY good
But maybe it's not entirely lore-related.
Still hints us possible lore details in that location.
Can also hold clues to anything in the future
Also that numbering/category system
Has anyone done the whole brightness check thing on the phase 3 vid yet?
yes
Lemme scroll up nice
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/855527844670865438/1004618820972982292/unknown.png
You're looking at it probably just being an area at South?
Might even be connected to The G.U.T.S.?
guts?
Generic Underground Transportation System
hmmm
a system connecting Tunnels and Caves
I love the primal carnage vibes from the base tho
yes
@acoustic osprey the large spotlight is flickering in the video. Might be morse code but i guess the video is too short for that
What on earth is this
Practically, I don't think it's morse.
But is there anything to decypher from the small snippet?
Doctor Isaac, reporting for service
Is this something that is triggerable ingame?
if the light went out it could be more but flickering the way it is i dont think so
thats the old legacy stuff
No, it's for fun by someone I know
nah its cannon
cannon
Oh. So a fanmade thing, someone wrote a console thing
Yes, and I'll be including the whole thing he did in a beginning of a video I have planned.
It's honestly amazing
https://youtu.be/xuXRKUR770U
Just perfect
Yet another simple main menu prototype for The Isle.
===
Okay, I know it's been almost 2 weeks since the last prototype, but being banned from Islecord/The Stress Test, and having a ton of work IRL, has been kinda getting in the way. On a happier note, this version is vastly more polished than the last, and most of all, I finished a lot of wor...
I looked at it again. It's just an animation running in a loop
Ah yeah, pre-done
thought so
Wow that's amazing!! It reminds me of the opening sequence for the old PS1 game, "The Lost World"
Fuck yeah! Compliments to the chef
I love the dino sounds
yes
It's what I hope the devs can try to imitate in the future
honestly, it fits more than what we have currently. Imo
That’s cool as fuck hopefully we get something like that
yes
I do say
I have a strong feeling that this might be connected to The G.U.T.S.
or it's just near south
It's really fluid, but honestly.
Some people have been saying "Docks". But then we'd see more of the rocks Jace used at coasts.
Ceratosaurus trailcam:
S2.6394
Pachycephalosaurus trailcam:
S2.6143
Troodon trailcam:
S2_6548
All similar in numbers, potentially meaning the time they filmed. Which is interesting because there is a noticable skip between Pachy's S2.614 and Troodons at S2.654 + Ceratos S2.639
Not only that. But Redwoods trees and those new trees too, not really true coastal stuff

Honestly, I'd love to know the numbering system for the cameras
Cameras are a different number, I think
the S2_6### doesn't seem to be proper "Camera" talk
Because we see the shutter speed and F stop on the Pachy video
Well sorry, not cameras, the "file number"
yes
Doesn't that mean we can kinda check the time between Troodon and Ceratos trail cams?
wait nvm that doesn't make any sense
lol
I wish. But you can presume things happened during both
However, I wonder what get's put in the "S2_6###" section
Cerato at CAM 00153, Troodon at CAM 07323
Is it everything they record? Or is it only specialised sections?
A lot of cameras man
lol
Also what is up with the Troodon trailcam just starting?
Pachy and Cerato have that little blue static AE thing first
Also the Pachy video starts out with "Incident report S2.6143"
wait lightclaw are you sure on the CAM being a .cam file?
Because
True lol
.cam file?
oh wait that wasn't what you were talking about?
I presume the camera is shooting in whatever RAW format their camera provider uses
Eg. .CR2
I see
It would be nice if we saw these cameras in game, so that we could figure out more about them
and if we don't, it might be an indication that the humans removed them after leaving the island, although I doubt that
Yeah
Soon though
EVEN if these cameras were from before AE left Spiro (mostly), not all could possibly disappear
Of course, it would be a bit risky removing potentially hundreds or thousands of those cameras
I mean they are probably trying to monitor all parts of an ecosystem, which they would need a lot of cameras for
I wonder if AE core is in Spiro?
Seems like a possibility. Do we think they have a main island different from Spiro or no?
Velada?
Nah
Velada is literally Veiled Island
Unless they do want their most cryptic and hidden stuff there
Spiro is their main island then? At least according to what we know it is likely.
Maybe Thenyaw too? I dunno if it was scrapped or not.
Think they scrapped it
Most likely their main testing island
Velada maybe containing their "special" stuff, like Atriums
But like, base of operations? Where their main quarters are?
Or is that mainland stuff?
Probably yes for Spiro
Yes
However, it would also make sense on Velada
IF they stay true to the name meaning
AE Core data archive R54 and R18 for Cerato video and Pachy video respectively
Yes
if that means anything
Probably just different sections in it's archive
Like a library genre/section code
Actually... all numbers in the pachy video seems to be lower than in the cerato video, except for the region. And potentially that 12_0205 thing
Regional probably meaning "section"
Although who knows
Why then
Spiro_0205 and Spiro_03025
Yeah, I'd imagine it is a grid system
K15 - C2
Yes
Is there any possibilities if the 3 Islands are covered now;
Well I think what if:
Island 1 - Isla Spiro
Island 2 - Isla Velada
Island 3 - ???
Is tartarus still even canon?
I hope so
True it hasn’t been mentioned since 2017 right
Yk i just thought of something is @calm vale still relevant
Trail cams and actual live cams probably follow a different grid pattern, hence the difference in format.
Twitter account got deleted. Hopefully it’s remade and the transmissions channel is used again.
Sed
Hopefully it is used again
Here’s what I think. Security cams follow an alphabetical format. Like Fortnite’s maps. Each column and row is a letter. While the trail cams for monitoring the dinos is made up of regions, and then the trail cam number.
...Like fortnites map?
Hold on
This is what I mean.
Wait a minute.
@acoustic osprey The building in the back looks very similar to something we've seen.
Aslo.
K-15 is the coordinated location.
But, C2 is camera 2.
Tartarus isn't an island, rather a codename for a restricted-like section of the map.
I forget that my bad
Yeah... like a regular coordinate system. I was very confused because I thought they had some unique way of measuring their map but no.
@calm valeAE-012 map :(
Btw krayt, I discussed the idea of that blue lined building or at least a similar one being the one in the phase three post
Yea, looks very similar.
and lightclaws theory is that the one in the phase 3 post is an opening to the G.U.T.S., so I have a theory that those blue lined buildings might actually be GUTS entry points, a bit of a reach but seems somewhat possible due to their unique look
I agree.
This place actually looks similar to that place dondi showed when streaming
rip
Also talking about G.U.T.S., what if C2 is the cave? Like Lightclaw said it could be the entry to the cave. Or maybe is just C2 = Camera 2?
Well, if K15 is coordinates, then C2 would probably stand for the location. Central 2. Cave entry 2. Cliff base 2. Etc, we don't really know.
We'll see...
Yeah, not much we can base our claims on unless we get new evidence
I like Camera 2.
Makes the most sense because it is coming from a video.
We'll have to see more of this formatting to actually gage whether we're right or not.
If it was camera, it was suppose to be Cam 2
Might just be a shortened version of a shortened version of camera
ya know, because that makes sense
What about observation videos
Apollo gateway, K15, camera 2. Seems logical.
It says cam
Maybe
CAM##### seems to be the files for the different recordings
not the actual cameras
Hmm you are right
the post in phase three seems more like it is taken from a specific camera in a specific place.
Specific place being the apollo gateway. The specific camera being camera 2.
Perhaps the dinosaurs are being unobserved except for some checkpoints across the island
Which could mean there will be servers based off of the region of the island
I honestly feel like the camera in the human base is made to monitor any potential breakins or security breaches. Not to study dinosaurs. We know of the trailcams, we just don't know when they were filmed.
The trailcams are surely made to monitor dinosaurs
^^^
Yes agreed
Something I'm wondering is for an abandoned island, why is there still power?
Might be backup generators
maybe water powered energy?
those things last a longass time, depending on which type and how many
possible, but we don't have a massive water source at a somewhat high altitude. At least not what we have seen yet.
What about the new Jace screenshot? Seems at a high altitude
Yeah, but that might be a completely different map
I called it the Reservoir
Or it could just be on the redwoods section of the map so that is why it feels totally different
confirmed or?
no
theory. I wonder if that video is on the new map or nott
Cause its all very confusing atm
I think it is that Isla Velada people have been talking about
you think that is the phase 3?
maybe phase 3 is designed around the new map. Showing creatures and places in that environment. And if so, will this potential new map be ready soon?
i hope
If its on this map perhaps they expanded to the east?
I've always assumed the true northern region was more temperate than the nw
This one guy made an entire map for isla spiro
Speculative and a bit outdated
But plausible
Its theory for the map
It would be nice if they made a smaller version of the current map and used that one instead
I kinda like the thinking about the center area being a big grassland
And that mountainous region where it says redwoods area could be plausible
It is fan made but its plausible
No?
Well what would say the map would look like? Just from speculation
That looks pretty good
That north eastern part past the coast river might be a good spot for redwoods
How is this even tied to lore?
Æ owns the island most likely managed all the biomes
<@&933486433342222376>
💀
Lmao
That's actually pretty terrifying
for 100 Players definatly yes! Anytime you see for hours no Players, and the server was full...
I have a question about the TI dinosaurs, what was their purpose of being made? Like were they testing something or is it something similar to Jurassic Park where they want to make a zoo?
And where did they keep the dinosaurs and how did they get out?
Not a park
What do you guys think their purpose were then
Study most likely
Or perhaps testing to engineer animals like with the tribals
Or just because they could
Yes
Gone
We did ask visual, but he couldn't say
Hi
Hi
hi
Why?
Sad because it was cool
Yes
Man sometimes i wished the isle had a single player campaign mode based around lore
Or maybe even multiplayer
i have a theory:
we are all set on this small little isle to just live our lives as dinosaurs but why do we start our lives by manually choosing where to spawn on a little tablet that is all old and covered in moss?
i think that we already went past the evolution of the human kind and they all eventually wiped out their own kind and that would answer the reason why there are goats, normal looking fishes, crocs ect.
But how do even dinosaurs exist?:
I believe that it was some kind of Jurassic Park type of situation, Scientists had incubated multiple species with help of their DNA and kept us under surveillance in an isle which explains the human built gate you can see when you customize ur dinosaur
man, i never saw the lore doccument my bad
Where do I find that document?
In pinned
Do y’all think there should be dlc exclusive Dino’s, tell me why
Marine reptiles dlc because yes
Please only use this channel to discuss The Isle's lore
My bad didn’t notice I was in wrong on
One
Lightclaw single handedly reviving the lore channel and making me that much more interested all at once.
Definitely
lightclaw knows whats up
waiting for the next lore drop so i can fuck my sleep schedule to unbelievable amounts
waiting for lore drop so I can get lore drop
Colossus and Echidna is, which is good news
begging that tisso still is
Reaper
funky hidey man
Yes
lightclaw what timezone you in lad
need to know how badly to mess my sleep schedule up so i can talk to people about lore
AEST
ive gotta google this one
aussieee eyyy
fucking me too man.
i know All from the Old Days but what is still relevant? only Don knows
Barely anything
Even transmissions, gone.
i beg we get lore more then once a week
Lol
The UI will change.
So it's not safe to say anything about the "Mossy panel"
Wait so all the primal stuff and transmission stuff is non canon unless specifically brought up again from now on?
Basically everything is non canon unless it’s brought up again
Well it's deleted, and when I asked Dondi. He made it seem like it's pretty irrelevant now
F
Sooo basically throw everything out the window unless it comes up again from now on
At that time people spent overanalysing every grain of camera distortion in those gifs lmao
(I am people)
I’m sure we’ll be back to that in no time once we start getting more lore drops
Just wait til that radio tower in game starts blurting out morse code again
Hopefully once we start getting more lore more people will come back in here and help out
Yes and no
Ok throw it out the window into a nice pile until later use if needed
Throw it into a nice pile and stare at it intensely until something moves
Yes
I kinda have a fix for the situation with Troodon, to be more exact the taxa no longer being valid
not sure how the genetics work in the isle and how they have it but, they could have done only the specimens (the teeth) that were named before the taxa got lumped to stenonychosaurus, because it makes sense to still call it troodon if they only used the old taxa specimens, especially since they were just teeth, they could have genetically made them the way Troodon was depicted as back then as well without knowing it was a juvenile
so it is pretty much a failed experiment of replicating an actual dinosaur to then still be viable as a creature
pretty much the equivalent to trying to bring back a more fragmentary prehistoric ape and genetically making it an intelligent being, didn't work the way they wanted but they would consider it a success one way or another
Made in the nineties
These aren't true Dinosaurs anyways. They're not exact replicas
eh, some world building doesn't hurt
Oh boy can't wait for someone to point out how inaccurate the dinosaurs are in The Isle
(based from that one TheGamingBeaver Isle video with Dondi in it(
because you wouls still have to explain how troodon does not look like stenonychosaurus, which now lumped in with latenivenatrix which was about neck height to a man, so trrodon since 2015 has gotten a CONSIDERABLE upsizing
They are very accurate
so I was just thinking how they may have still made it small, they just genetically manipulated it make it how it was depicted then
Wait they are?
you'll be surprised, the allo is pretty damn good
Not true Dinosaurs
Inaccuracies and dinosaurs not existing is not important to AE
I'm just saying in general
That I think about it the Magna rex is essentially an armoured T rex that's WIDE as hell
yes
I presume it's a lot more speculative.
Who knows, they probably don't even use "actual" specimens for DNA
yeah that is why I said that completely depends on how they are doing the genetics then
if they aren't even using prehistoric DNA that just makes it so the scientists would go for how they are depicted rather than having a dinosaur base and changing it from their
yes
and that actually makes more sense because the reason you would go for a dinosaur even if you don't have a dinosaur base is because of how efficient they are in general, so overall it just works and it thought through
Pretty much
overall dinosaurs are efficient as fuck compared to mammals and other things
make everything compatible with the ecosystem
rather than seeing the actual animal have to try and balance
tbh, even the "realistic utah" will probably have some alterations
well the realistic utah would just be the same as lets say the allo or cerato, it may have some alterations but the issue with current utah is that it just....... isn't utah
there is really no resemblance of utah while with other things you can at least see it
the current utah might as well should be a weird ass hybrid with its own original name
no?
He just isn't showing up when I search his name in the little bar, huh, strange
he is just on offline mode, if he is not in the discord he would not have the dev role
yeah I had that issue too
Dondi#4875
No, I know, I restarted the thing. He shows up now.
that is just a discord bug
apolloraptor
I like the ideas about Neoraptor (new thief) and Apolloraptor
No
thanks for the information lightclaw
Apolloraptor makes more sense than anything with Neo
Apolloraptor makes sense if they want to monetise it
yes
you know, tossing in your brand name there
pretty much
but... do they want to do that? So far we haven't really gotten any clue that they want to monetise the animals to the public, for all we know they are hidden away.
I’m still partial to apollovenator
Well. Fatter, feathers and probably a reshaped skull
It seems like a weird move naming an animal you created after the company and then not show it off
Yes
and MUCH bigger
Not really
A bit bigger
Well maybe scientists got uninspired on this one... (like they often are)
Utahraptor, the animal, is not that much bigger.
They are about the same height at the hip
and around the same length
It’s around the same size, just Utah is super robust irl
Utahraptor is just a little bit more bulky but not super much
Actually current utah weighs a lot more than it realistically should, according to its size and proportions
It should be around 250/300 kg realistically
just fatter and slower
Maybe not even that much
to a realistic term
Utah has a robust skull, but it isn't actually that robust. It looks like it from the side due to deep torso
and it is robust compared to fellow dromeosaurs
But it aint really that wide
I personally have not looked into utahraptor much but the higher end size which is likely what they will use is about this big
^^ oversized
Alright alright alright
What changes more. Isle lore or paleontology
also it may not get wider but it will just get deeper and overall more bulky
I mean...
idk man its hard to beat paleontology
lol
Paleontology doesn't change
It's always people making assumptions based on a bone then realizing 20 years later that they were all wrong
I just hate the fact that we can't use lore stuff from legacy anymore
because all is considered dubious until confirmed otherwise
but it still has a loose connection which you can connect to new lore
but it isn't really a part of it
At least we know humans are still canon
there are always major discoveries like integument from preserved scales or scale impressions and things like more basal stuff just being a junior synonym happening all the time
yes
Colossus is now canon as well 
and something that changes a lot that drastically changes things is what is related to what
Friendship wins again
yes
that was unofficial, right?
yes
Thought so
Anyways. Insert what Dondi sent
Either. Changing as in design/size/story
You decide
Only official colossus things
or just "changing from existing in lore or not"
I do hope that model is improved upon
so do I
yes
The Colossus is essentially a Kong-Godzilla-Crocodile hybrid mixed with other reptilian and human features
I am more interested on what they will do to this lad since they are redoing the entire tissoplastic strain
I'll see and ask Dondi, unless he responds to this question
pretty sure the T-reaper was completely scrapped. Or at least designwise and potentially namewise. It will be a completely different thing iirc.
Who knows.
Colossus and Echidna are back in
that is too bad, I fucking loved that design
So it leads to some speculation that Reaper may or may not be back too
Talking about that. I need to put it both down
and it is too bad they are redoing the entire strain cuz an entire stealth based strain is 100% up my alley
I'm also using the Trail cam footage font for my doc
I hope they keep it stealth based
May or may not be redoing
ah ok
We know little much about tissos basically
But reaper might get scrapped since tisso had to get completely redone right?
scroll up
iffy on that
We need a more recent confirmation, especially from Don
Can’t really keep the old design of the strain it’s meant to represent completely changes vibe
yes
does anyone know what those big bones on V3 are
yes
Honestly the whole console, transmissions, tartorus, morse code, encrypted messages, etc was what got me interested in the game in the first place
And now Transmissions is gone
Morse code, from the new sound track, is very repetitive and says the say thing
We still have some references to Greek mythology 
im sure a good chunk of it will be back in some form, along with hopefully even more easter egg hunts and good stuff
From the words of Dondi.
Easter Eggs with meaning
Where?
which is why we're most likely gonna lose the "Afterthought" easter egg
A lot.
Apollo
Evrima
Tartarus, etc
didnt know that was a thing, was it graffiti on a building or something?
Evrima?
A small little thing in a human building, let me get it
Discovery in Greek
And tartarus?
Or should I say.
A lot of refences to Greek Mythology and The language
"deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans"
Ah lmao I’m stupid
greek hell for big fellas
It’s name in English is weird lol
lol
Where’s tartarus in isle tho?
No idea.
We don't know
Maybe it's in Isla Velada (if that's actually real)
As Isla Velada means Veiled Island
We know we will have something called tartarus but we dont know what is it?
Welcome to The Isle lore 
It was only referred in Legacy through a few means
does velada have a name drop somewhere i feel like ive only seen it talked about in the last few days
just not a thing in-game
in-files, apparently
No idea if true.
Zero clue on how people do that. Besides that people do datamine stuff
Game files? Or that screenshot dondi send was named isla velada?
In-game files. Apparently
Not from Dondi
sort of hoping the whole "veiled" thing doesnt mean its just the classic "invisible barrier hiding the place"
If you are wondering about the files here
Definitely
More likely a lot more secretive compared to Spiro
Someone posted in reddit
Also, if Isla Velada IS the thing from Dondi
just some nice shroud covering the higher altitude
which fits the name still
you mean the arid highlands looking place? wit hthe beipi
ah yeah there it is
Yes.
Makes the most sense, in my opinion at least
There you go
Yes, that
i mean grassland and highland fits with this iimiage
datamining
I though I saw dino but sadly I was wrong
We only know that it could be connected with the G.U.T.S
I brightened it and it was just foliage
Yes and no
The bottom right could be possible map coordinates
or just a numbering system for all we know
cloud forests when
yes
lots of room for creative high-humidity environments that arent just regular jungles
definitely
and secretly hoping we get some proper king kong jungles like in the 2015 concepts
Preferably no on the scrap
but redo would be nice
Spiro has been placed into multiple pieces of Isle videos now
So keep the name
Something like with U3. But this time we actually have 2 people to work on it (Dondi and Jace)
If dondi is still working on maps
But I’m pretty sure he is
honestly, nothing personal against Don, but I'd love to see Jace just do Velada
obviously, he is still the director so he get's the final say
a shuffle round of the size/location/shapes of biomes would be nice to have slightly more distinct areas, especially with whatever this migration system is thats coming up soon
Yes
atm you get places like the deep jungles being completely deserted because theres really no reason to go in there
I like jungles they look cool
Looked even better in U3
But these logs are very annoying
rain forests with thick fog 
Anyways. Lore lore lore.
Done some more on my doc but need sleep. Ciao
Cya
Can’t wait for lore video
Soon 
You forgot the little ™️
not on my watch
Really? That would be so cool
Yes
#isle-discussion message
Don't forget about The Replicator 
So tribals make sacrifices to the replicator and get rewarder with greater strength without needing to sacrifice themselves
Seems like a pretty good deal
Pretty much
Sacrifice stuff to replicator, replicator rewards you, sacrifice your body to replicator, come back better/stronger
Thousand life contract and all
- Dashark
Yes, yes, no, yes.
No.
- Dondi
But what does the last "no" means tho ? That the thousand life contract is unrelated to the replicator and tribals interaction, or that it's no longer canon ?
well
seeing as the comment was about The Replicator and how sacrificing works.
Probably no to that being in reference to Tribals
I believe it's more of a thing related to both Gen 1 and 2
or just Gen 2
A thousand life contract, hire people in an "Astronaut-esque" style contract.
Who knows though
most cryptic out of all the answers
due to how broad that answer could mean
@acoustic osprey I am guessing whenever dondi does his lore dump you are gonna do a yt video summing everything we got so far?
LMAO
Not worth it currently though
So I'm just fixing stuff in my doc and It'll be ready really soon
just finding any bits of information I can currently and editing
yo if you need a video editor I am here
Don't worry, I'll be able to myself Bukka
I already edit tons of videos and make my own movies/and theatre edits on Premiere
Although thank you!!
definitely. I'm just glad I have some reason to use it.
Painful on the wallet 
I was able to stack my black friday discount WITH my student discount so I only had to do 18$ a month for 6 months 
oh sick

First iteration of Lore Doc
Please note it's very WIP and lacks a lot of information
A DOCUMENTATION OF THE ISLE LORE A Collection of CURRENT Developer Statements Especially Revolved Around Dondi through Discord, Developer Stream Data + Images + Statements, In-Game imagery + Decoding and Analysis This Google Doc will be an ongoing project that will regularly update per batch of ...
I'm also very tired.
So if anything is grammatically bad, doesn't make sense and/or wrong... please @ or DM me
@acoustic osprey none of this makes sense, it is the isle lore we are talking about
Reading it rn


welcome to The Isle lore
Thank you
very good
Yay!
theres morse code at the radio tower in thenyaw, does anyone know what it translates to
I think all of the morse codes translate to SOS
they gateway
Empires DOTMW
so could it be just phase 1 is from the inclusion of thenyaw to beginning of evrima development, phase 2 is from beginning of evrima development to the development of the more horror-y stuff of the game that makes it unique, and phase 3 is from the development of the more horror-y stuff of the game that makes it unique to, well, whenever it ends
no
not really?
So from Saoul.
Either he's messing with his or being very serious
Phase three is then more than likely just the proper third phase of production for The Isle
Phase 1, then, would be around the 2019.
When Evrima was announced and being built
