I thought you were talking about the QR codes on the vending machines until I checked the reply-

[acoustic osprey]

most definitely

forwarded it from isle discussion because me and tiny were curious what it said

but i completely forgot it already exists in-game

wish we could know if all assets are 'edited'
and if not, which are edited

to be fair
most of it doesn't really matter

it is kinda a nitpick, a literal nitpick to know

but to be fair
all of the marketplace assets are pretty tame

Always good to look at them though, just in case one is fully custom and has a reference on them
like another subsidiary ... etc

a bit like Wheos
which we know is custom (around just before u4)

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair...

if the QR code actually worked...

unless we can 100% confirm which market place asset it is
that QR code seems to be custom

[hexed forge]

Mhm

[hexed forge]

(Its a link to a secret item on the merch store that is yet to open again)

I would love that, but definitely unlikely lel

[acoustic osprey]

i swear the QR code actually lead to something
i am not dreaming this

oh wait
that is right
it was the weird 'high voltage locker' that had another QR code

the thing is
why is that QR code there?

https://www.blauwfilms.com/
they're an open source film studio

they have a shop of 'marketplace assets'

thing is though... it isn't really "3d hard surface" stuff

https://www.blauwfilms.com/store

they do have an earth asset, star system and clouds
but i'm pretty sure Isle uses UE's system for their skybox

i kinda want to contact them
wonder how, likely not something Afterthought realised (?), their QR code was left in a marketplace asset

[hexed forge]

Hmm

You could try contacting them yea

I personally wouldn't do it since it seems really minor and not really an issue atm

[acoustic osprey]

i don't really find it an issue
i'm just curious, outside of Isle

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[acoustic osprey]

sent

if i don't get a reply, this won't be a first for me
but it is a little mystery. A bit of a weird one, even if it was the fault of the original creator of the model

because it seems on purpose
as it is on a 'paper' (likely a safety paper?) attached to the bottom front left of the model (right in our pov)

but yeah

i'd love some more lore related QR codes

just looking at this makes me scared
because i know i am and wouldn't be smart enough to be this good at finding little secrets/lore-esque stuff like this

[hexed forge]

You must overthink every possible solution

[ornate comet]

dude that game needs more updates, I need more scary secrets

[acoustic osprey]

definitely

[muted reef]

I knew something was fishy about it

[acoustic osprey]

huh

[muted reef]

I knew there was more to people playground than just the gameplay

[acoustic osprey]

ahhh

[acoustic osprey]

so i got confirmation

Yes, that is a decal from our Free Industrial Decals 🙂
There are a whole lot of decals in there including this exact one. The decals are customisable so I expected the QR code to be replaced but this is a surprise haha

thing is though
I wonder if the decal was added via VisualTech
or
from the original creator of the model itself

[acoustic osprey]

seems to be this QR code
and looking at the image i sent, it seems like the QR code is a different white than the deal on the top of it

but alas
that'll be the end of that for me, at least

[hexed forge]

Nice

[hexed forge]

I think most of the Marketplace assets weren't changed so I don't think Vis did it

[snow jasper]

h

[acoustic osprey]

#isle-lore-theories message
we know this, at least

that he refines/edits some of them

[hexed forge]

Ah

[spark egret]

i agree with everything

[acoustic osprey]

thanks

[deep cairn]

Awsome knights

[lethal moat]

I wonder if any Gen 2 made it off the islands and to civilization, either with or without AE’s permission

And if so, what would they do, would they represent AE as an employee? Would they strive to blend in with others?

[lethal moat]

Would they have advantages over natural born humans?

[fast forge]

be a gen 2, peak physical specimen

has no background, traceable education, or work history

gets a job at Arby's

[lethal moat]

Could be a bar tender

At like a local pub

Make them models actually

It’d be funny, especially if AE does find them again

[hallow ruin]

other than the dinosaur concept art reinditions ive been doing

what do yall think about doing specifically the Lore related ones? tapwing old ones? wouldnt it be awesome?

like this one

[lethal moat]

That’d be a fun one, I really liked that neuro spino one you did

[hallow ruin]

oh yeah !

i fr forgot it exists 😭

was really rushed out tbh, i edited the model a lot after it, eh im not sure how other concepts will be

i got this in my list for some time, might be a good start

[lethal moat]

Another good one

Thats fire stuff

fun thing is, this is the first one i ever made, yet its the best

[sand whale]

How do you make em? Blender?!

[hallow ruin]

yup 👍

[sand whale]

Keep it up! 💯 Great work, I tried blender making a tree and man oh man it was bad 😂

[hallow ruin]

thanks a lot mate ❤️
ive had that too, i had some tries since 2022 and never started untill feb 2024 so yeah it takes passion a lot of it
even throughout my time i had ragequits for multiple reasons, but its overall fun 🤣

[sand whale]

Dangggg Feb 2024!!?!?! thats crazy dueddddddd Good luck on the next ones cant wait to see em 🔥

[hallow ruin]

trying my best man 🙏

[hallow ruin]

wrong chat

[lethal moat]

He does very well at modeling

[acoustic osprey]

woah

although i wouldn't call it modelling, per say

[lethal moat]

Posing and lighting

[acoustic osprey]

there you go

[sly merlin]

WOAH I AINT EVER SEEN THIS BEFORE DANG

[muted reef]

I wonder if John Cake is gonna be the default slate for gen 2...would be funny tbh as a homage

[acoustic osprey]

i mean, he already is
so why change the model

(and he was the first physical human cameo in a lore video)

[muted reef]

What was the context behind this guy and his rexes?

[acoustic osprey]

Dawndi

[deep cairn]

I don’t like any of the human models they’ve used tbh

[muted reef]

It's a beta test unfinished model

[acoustic osprey]

i wouldn't say unfinished

if anything
the 'finished' model is either naked or with some clothes on, like what we have now

if anything, we might get clothes variants

[muted reef]

I really hope you can find different outfits

[acoustic osprey]

almost certainly

[deep cairn]

Naked? I sure hope not. Jeez!

[acoustic osprey]

well...

[deep cairn]

It would be kinda outta place to be naked though

This isn’t ark

[acoustic osprey]

well.....

[deep cairn]

But there is the naked models of them

[lethal moat]

#isle-phase-three message

[deep cairn]

Daaaaaang awwaaaaaang

[acoustic osprey]

they are modelled
but i don't want to say anything more because ban/mute

[deep cairn]

Even modeled the shlingy schlongs bruh! Are we just gonna have actual naked dudes running around the isle with their shlingee wingees out??

[patent ginkgo]

I doubt, especially with that terminology

[acoustic osprey]

we may or may not but we know they exist

[deep cairn]

Dude Isaac lore confirmed

They do have dingle wingles after all

Sorry

[acoustic osprey]

oh

[muted reef]

I wonder what the point of that is lore wise. Could just be a way of getting rid of waste

Or it could just be easier for clothes and modeling

[acoustic osprey]

i mean, all living things need to waste

[muted reef]

Would it not be possible without it?

I suppose it is simpler and also makes them more alike to a human

[acoustic osprey]

i mean, if you can think of a way to waste that is more than efficient than how animals do it...

[muted reef]

Nature does best

[strange shell]

It's definitely much easier to model a character naked then put clothes on them
Lore-wise I believe AE just took humans and changed what they needed to change, and didn't think it was necessary to do additional alterations just to neuter them

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, they can still likely be infertile and the what not
either by design or just by fault of "X Y or Z"

[strange shell]

Or maybe the smiley faces are how they actually look like down there

[acoustic osprey]

wah oh

[acoustic osprey]

predictions for isle lore this year? Besides worldbuilding stuff

definitely new dino glance sheets
but besides that, what do you guys think

[hexed forge]

Gen2 lore

Potentially gameplay wise too

[acoustic osprey]

like specifically what

in terms of what type of physical lore
not just 'guts info', if you get what i mean

albeit, Gen2 lore would be nice

[hexed forge]

The timeline of events that led to the creation of gen2. Why were they made?

[acoustic osprey]

but like how would/could we consume it

[hexed forge]

Lore scavenger hunts would ne fun

But I'm guessing video/papers

[acoustic osprey]

hmmm

to be fair
I don't suppose we'll get worded 'timeline' notes more than what we've already gotten from Don

likely stuff we'll have to piece together from major and minor events from docs we get, hunts, etc

[buoyant cobalt]

Guys I think secretly the company is working for cuthullu and they are going to add a secret boss fight where you kill cuthullu and then take his eldritch powers replacing him as the god of darkness

[lethal moat]

You ever worship a machine before?

[delicate verge]

I figured gen 1 "failed" them in some way, imperfect design

violent and cannibalistic

[nimble fractal]

Free workers

[delicate verge]

I see this as an absolute win

[lethal moat]

I think they serve different purposes, assuming gen 1 are still used/produced

quite likely a residential village

there is an artwork that shows something similar

What is AE 001? Old map or a cancelled map?

[acoustic osprey]

old and cancelled

[muted reef]

Looks sick

Someone better mod it in

[lethal moat]

Gen 1 in residential neighborhoods sounds like a fun horror movie, like the aircraft AE was using to transport them malfunctioned and they just scatter

[acoustic osprey]

kinda want to do 2019 v3 over it
as cool and as lorey as AE-001 was going to be

unless we get something from Don's 'archive' of stuff on AE-001

but i don't see him doing that for years

[low scarab]

An artwork? Really

[acoustic osprey]

would still love to get to know what happened and what was supposed to happen with legacy

yes

[low scarab]

Fr

[muted reef]

Legacy: What Could Have Been

[acoustic osprey]

a dockyard in front of it with a bunch of buildings behind it

[low scarab]

Mini game in a neighborhood with gen 1 and gen 2

[acoustic osprey]

thanks 👌
Hard to get footage of it anymore because most people back then didn't really 'explore' it for the sake of making sure we could remember what it would look like in the future

which, yeah, makes sense.
Seemed like all these old maps, back in the day, would 'stay' forever

[low scarab]

Maybe when the game is finished? (Hope)

[acoustic osprey]

how do you know when you are finished?

[low scarab]

Far future when they decide to lay back on adding content to the isle?

Maybe start another project

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-at-you-gif-15677477317679001616

[crude tree]

I think anyone

[glad fulcrum]

So whats the story behind the hypo (neo, etc.) dinos? I've known about them for, like, seven-ish years now and I barely know anything about them.

[muted reef]

Pretty sure it's a pharmaceutical iirc

[glad fulcrum]

like a forced mutation?

[acoustic osprey]

related to medicine

[buoyant cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-techpriest-binaric-screeching-screeching-gif-20192683

[muted reef]

A dinosaur mutated on medication? Maybe...maybe not

[acoustic osprey]

we knew of their creation (ish) in legacy
that they were, at least a few of them (like Reaper - Tisso Human) were made there ||being that they made a dozen Reapers, so it is quite likely Tartarus was a whole creation facility of strains and more like The Matriarch||

[buoyant cobalt]

Warhammer 40k lol

[lethal moat]

Iguess EIPs might qualify for the weakness of flesh

[acoustic osprey]

that also Tartarus was a jail to some extent as well
being that it was also used to hold those that were made, to survey and observe them

[glad fulcrum]

do we know if their lore will change in evrima?

[acoustic osprey]

but that is only Legacy lore
we're still not really that sure with Evrima

[glad fulcrum]

ah

[buoyant cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/bandit-bluey-bandit-heeler-dad-heeler-dad-gif-14908246814525392654

[acoustic osprey]

just that we know Strains were made in relation to Medicine
but not the direct cause being such

(Evrima)

[glad fulcrum]

ahhh i see

interesting

[acoustic osprey]

quite so

[muted reef]

What do we think that relation could be?

[acoustic osprey]

that it is related
I am not sure

honestly, there could be many different answers

[muted reef]

Lets speculate on some of those

Maybe they wanted to see what strains did to animals rather than just plants

[acoustic osprey]

mmm

[acoustic osprey]

this

albeit, you can't really see any villages

the dock just feels so compact/full of lights

and you can kinda see something next to the radio tower, far off, that feels like extra buildings
that could be residental buildings

[muted reef]

I'm wondering what Gen 2's goal is gameplay wise. I doubt it's "get better loot and survive" cause that doesn't really fit. It'd be cool if after they complete it they've got to get off the island via like a boat or something but I doubt that.

The dinosaurs have a loop so I'm betting gen 2 (and 1) will

[acoustic osprey]

To be fair
the idea of 'coming then going' just feels like not the greatest of loops

[muted reef]

I'm not saying just that

Disregarding the boat thing there is probably something else

Doing tasks for research and fixing buildings sounds great to me

[muted reef]

I doubt AE actually savors them much anyway

[spark egret]

is this official concept art? looks sick

[river marsh]

Technically that could be the loop and your goal is to survive and accomplish as many missions as possible before leaving to get bigger and bigger rewards the longer you survive. But thats just one idea of many possible loops

[acoustic osprey]

old yeah

[spark egret]

i would love lighting like this in game and storms

[muted reef]

Thats good to me. Better than looking for stronger and stronger guns to live.

On this topic, they did show off clearance cards in the devblogs. There is definitely something else at hand

[river marsh]

Possibly hidden offices for goodies 👀

[muted reef]

Higher and higher level areas to go to for better goodies, and more backstory

[river marsh]

Mhmmmm

[muted reef]

Bingo

They say it right there. There is a gameplay loop

[acoustic osprey]

kill someone with the highest card
skip the loop

[muted reef]

As long as you've got whatever gun they rockin

Don't expect going at them with a knife while they've got some AR to go well

Unless you gain their trust and then backstab em...or just backstab em literally when you first meet them

[acoustic osprey]

i mean, all it would take is a pistol (easily)

[muted reef]

I wonder what armor is going to be in the game (if any).

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/kuman-kcd-gif-12858323154257201195

[muted reef]

Going through all the devblogs really is a treat

[muted reef]

Food on the go! (and a great beacon for dinosaurs)

[acoustic osprey]

Hope dies last

[hallow ruin]

yup

[ornate comet]

When humans are out I’m gonna hunt down other people

Also, I wonder if they would be able to get at the schooling fish for food

[hexed forge]

Same.

[hexed forge]

Finding a fishing rod would be cool

[ornate comet]

Fish up an elite fish and he just eats you and there’s nothing you can do because you weigh less then a Beipi and a Beipi can get eaten hahahaha funny game mechanic (definitely not salty)

[bold crater]

I can see ambient AI (including fish) and certain plants being edible to humans. Dinosaurs though, not so much. That's been said to be....not good to eat.

[balmy moat]

Is the map barrier force field thing cannon? Or is something else (more plausible) keeping the pterosaurs and aquatic reptiles from migrating out of the island? Would be hard as hell if there were in-universe reports of people seeing escapees only to have AE silence them

I would be very disappointed if the map barrier is cannon

[lethal moat]

Last we heard, it isn’t

[hexed forge]

Its definitely, most likely, not canon.

[low scarab]

that was my first thought but yes ive seen this before

[low scarab]

[sly merlin]

@cunning folio Imma talk here since cd in gen is buns

Hypers are the main strains of dinosaurs, boosting stats like attack and defense but they have a horrible metabolism, they need to eat all the time

[cunning folio]

Ooooooh

[cunning folio]

WHAT THATS SICK

[sly merlin]

This is the updated one for the rex

They will eventually get added, idk when tho

[cunning folio]

What mutation am i looking at here tho

[sly merlin]

Hyper

[cunning folio]

Oooooh

[sly merlin]

This is for the giga, but its the old model

[cunning folio]

WHAT THE HELL

Oh hell nah thats not my t rex from the movies

😭

[sly merlin]

This is a nuerotenic spino, another type of strain

[cunning folio]

WAIT SPINOSAURUS

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-jurassic-world-spinosaurus-tyrannosaurus-t-rex-gif-13132687000543794337

SICK

[sly merlin]

Its regular form is getting added to the game too

[cunning folio]

Thats so cool

[acoustic osprey]

not just metabolism, anything related to the endocrine system
So hyper aggressive, growth, metabolism, etc

[cunning folio]

Sickkkkk

[sly merlin]

Yeah isaac is the guy you wanna talk to about lore and upcoming features besides dinos

https://youtube.com/@saphirceratosaurus?si=S5V_mJcGi_TWVRCN this channel (unofficial) has news from devblogs and streams, if you wanna see animations for the new dinos. I watch them all the time, and they’re cool

if you want to learn some old lore via youtube
I'd recommend MeatyLock

[sly merlin]

Were there any concept models for neurotenic dinos?

Besides spino ofc

[low scarab]

“Lots of interesting plants” I’m interested….

[low scarab]

I’m pretty sure there are but could be unofficial from tap

[sly merlin]

Tapwings art never disappoint

[low scarab]

I love taps art

[acoustic osprey]

Rex

[fast forge]

Minmi.

[sly merlin]

Slide

If pteras ever get a strain, it’ll js be kamikazes everywhere

[sly merlin]

Veiny ahh

[acoustic osprey]

he got tapeworm

[sly merlin]

I like how the veins are in place of its eye

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, it is quite interesting
Wish we knew more how Neuros and Tissos worked

especially with Neuro 'eyes'

[sly merlin]

Tissos huh? Never heard that name in a while. What do they even look like

[low scarab]

[acoustic osprey]

one of the only official designs we got of a tisso

[hexed forge]

The tissoplastic Rex wasn't official?

[acoustic osprey]

'one of the only'

[sly merlin]

And what creature is this for

Cause that ain’t no dino

[acoustic osprey]

this is official
but very old and these designs by Vega didn't really contribute anything visually to the more 'modern' look of strains (of legacy)

[fast forge]

olddd tisso design

I still think they'll be zombies 💅

[acoustic osprey]

maybe besides the 'worm-ish' look of neuros

[sly merlin]

Yeah ngl that js looks like a different dinosaur

[acoustic osprey]

at least, Neuro Rex didn't really change much

[sly merlin]

Hyper means tank, neuro means speed and what would tisso be?

[acoustic osprey]

User Inquiry: Reaper
Tissoplastic regenerative tissue placed inside of a human subject. Initial results proved fatal.
Doctor Vega perfected and coined the term of his first success on September 7, 2004.
There are 12 active specimens

[sly merlin]

Hm. Reaper sounds good for those scythes for arms

[acoustic osprey]

stealth maybe?
Neuro could also be a mage/wizard/mana-esque type of creature

I don't really imagine it being especially fast

Tissos were supposed to be smaller than their normal non-strain versions

[sly merlin]

Phasing would be a good ability for the neuros, either invis or straight up time skipping

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-thunder-gif-12003010808141082270

[sly merlin]

Seems js like a useless strain for me tbh

[hexed forge]

Tissoplastic probably have some stealth advantages, AND I HOPE.. They have the special venom ability

[acoustic osprey]

i should definitely resume my next video script

i feel like i should also address the actual things i missed/forgot to refer to in my dibble lore video
nothing big, not 20 mins long
but something to say 'here is what i was supposed to go through if i wasn't rambling'

[low scarab]

I imagine tissos in evrima to be a lot more like the matriarch that kind of freaky arms everywhere regen based character

[low scarab]

Although I do still hope we get to see this guy some day

[acoustic osprey]

we do know they're related at least

. . . . //

isle ███. File retrieved from ARCHIVE (7). Recovery operations for source material is ongoing.

do you think Dondi will update this to say the recovery operations are now 'complete'?

or what if...

[fast forge]

remind me the source on this?

[acoustic osprey]

the camera

[fast forge]

oh yeah archive 7 shoulda tipped me off

[acoustic osprey]

in reference from this

[hexed forge]

[hexed forge]

Nah

[fast forge]

I doubt it will be updated
It kinda reads like an activity log, so it's just a snapshot from that time period
It's not like it's a wiki or something that would need updated

[acoustic osprey]

(i have been writing each dot point i should answer, almost finished)

[hexed forge]

Not unless we remind him, he wont update it

Its small

[acoustic osprey]

fair since it says this anyways

[hexed forge]

Proceeds to somehow forget the main point again

I cant speak today holy crap

[acoustic osprey]

i have about 10 things down!! this should be basically it

[hexed forge]

What are they?

Maybe you missed something !!

[acoustic osprey]

• “watch gateway F5 be a guts tunnel that was used to transport the video” (give my opinion: no)

• What are Injections?

• What is Archive 7? - talk about AE Core as well in relation to such

• Who was the human? What was he doing?

• What do the glitches slides mean? What does it infer upon the island of Gateway and what AE are doing

  • Therefore the purpose of the dibbles?

• TARTARUS Mention

• Omnis vs Dibble? What does it mean in relation to EIPs, etc.

  • Describe what EIPs were and now are -> TOMB (therefore relation to Tartarus?)

• Finish with what has changed over the past year, from what we know about this (nothing) and how the camera location has changed in-game

this should be everything, right

oh and
I should include comments about the 2nd video

Usgx-9921-c578 (b)

just wrapping up if anything changed/we learnt anything lore-wise from it (i.e. not really)

[hexed forge]

• Omnis vs Dibble? What does it mean in relation to EIPs, etc.

-- Describe what EIPs were and now are -> TOMB (therefore relation to Tartarus?)

Im betting none of the specimens we see in the video are EIPs tbh.

[acoustic osprey]

i gotta give my comments on it though
not just on EIPs though

but the idea of sending them to basically be killed a few hours (?) later

ties into the idea of what Injections are and mean

with or without them being EIPs

[hexed forge]

Did you mention the stuff about the oranges and cashews?

[hexed forge]

Ah cool cool cool

[acoustic osprey]

kinda with the slides dot point
but i'll make a new one below it just so i don't forget

https://tenor.com/view/interstellar-cost-little-maneuver-51years-51-gif-24426899

[hexed forge]

mmm mmm,

Ill look through the video again

Potential stuff to add in.

Actual lore

• The migration data itself, breaking down the travel path of the Diabloceratops injection, how many died and where, etc.

Just some fun mentions, not actual lore

• Quetz was originally meant to be featured in the video. (Probably as a background vocal only, I think it would just be nice to mention)
• What happened to the camera in game? (Idk talk about the lore hunt, was the camera removed, where, etc.)

Idk just some stuff to add

https://tenor.com/view/explain-confusion-wait-a-minute-wait-what-gif-20438126

Just some cool stuff to make the video longer and take as much from it as possible

[acoustic osprey]

oh true that

thanks
I'll add those

a bit more will make the video more 'video sized'

thanks! I won't forget to mention you for the thanks

[acoustic osprey]

1000 words...

i'm only on the 1st dot point

(plus the introduction, which was 200 words or so)

[hexed forge]

Damn, Is that a lot compared to your previous video?

Either way you could probably find a way to shorten it if it's really a lot

[acoustic osprey]

dibble video was 2800 words...

[muted reef]

Make it long I will watch

[acoustic osprey]

hopefully I'll have a lot less to say about the next few dot points

hopefully it'll be better quality at least, than my last ones

Erm

Uhhh, maybe you can shorten it!! Somehow, remove repetitive elements or something..

[acoustic osprey]

i think i have finished the first dot point now, all done.

[hexed forge]

Yay

[acoustic osprey]

i definitely feel like the rest of the video will be shorter, hopefully, because it is a lot less theory work
and more so summing up and giving comments on things

especially since it is harder to spot and notice because the 'lore' bits of it are glitchy and very short in the dibble video

[muted reef]

Whats it on again

[acoustic osprey]

the script? google docs for ease

if that is what you are asking about

[muted reef]

My bad didnt clarify. What is the video about

[acoustic osprey]

ah yeah

#isle-lore-theories message
just this

i.e. a "what i missed"-type video
because i really did miss a lot of actual points i should've gone over in my last lore video

[muted reef]

Nice...getting into the nitty gritty

carrying the entire isle lore YT with this one 💪 🪨 ⛰️

i cannot wait until others start actually pumping out lore videos and analysis' etc
people got into a habit a few years ago once Apollo Files starts, but to be fair... they were ARGs

like The Matriarch video from a few months ago was nice!

[muted reef]

I wonder if when don's finalized the lore and it's all figured out if he'll ever go back to talk about legacy lore...

I need it

As irrelevant as it is...I want knowledge

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, definitely not going back to fix anything
but i would love to see his harddrive of all legacy stuff

[muted reef]

Not to fix any thing I just want to know

What was that original story

And there can be gaps I don't care

[acoustic osprey]

which story though

[muted reef]

The story of legacy

What was the backstory, or the future, or the dark secrets of the island

[acoustic osprey]

in terms of development or lore though?

because legacy lore changed a few times

same with its development to be fair...

even with Evrima

albeit, i doubt all of these stories were 'complete'
as you said, definitely gaps

[muted reef]

Both

[acoustic osprey]

but knowing Legacy's plans, therefore lore, from 2017 into 2019 (the year that never came), would be my dream

i don't mind with super old legacy stuff
if we never get anything on that old stuff, i don't mind

but the phase before recode is an era I would love to know more

[lethal moat]

Wonder if we'll get anything with Olympus Transmitter ever again

[acoustic osprey]

Heh...

[hexed forge]

It's like, one of the most important things in the lore, legacy at least.

We are most likely going to see it again

[knotty locust]

if we get a lore snippet regarding the Olympus transmitter in, idk, phase 3 or something I wouldn’t be surprised, it seems like it could have some pretty good use in evrima lore

[fierce cradle]

D Rex .... Will u guyz be excited if its in the game ?

[hexed forge]

Why would it be in the game.

JW/JP universe does not combine with Isles universe

[crude tree]

Magna was considered a hypo?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alp6AiSFuhI

I still think it's the best trailer

[hexed forge]

No.

It killed a hyper.

(In Legacy)

[alpine lynx]

no, magna is a whole diffirent speciement

[bold crater]

Magnas were in essence "perfected" but slightly weaker Hypers.

[lethal moat]

Magna is scrapped

[lethal moat]

Well we know it still exists, but I want stuff like the old twitter account

[proper musk]

random thing but,

my theory that the gigantic ribcage that got moved to under a pond is the skeleton of a Hypo Argentinosaurus or Titanosaurus, and probably starved to death,

[muted reef]

No it was an islandwalker...something that we know next to nothing about

[proper musk]

where did you get that from?

not tryna question your knowledge, gen curious

[muted reef]

People who talk in here...know their stuff

Dm's rq

[acoustic osprey]

the general theory is that it was either an Islandwalker, Primordial... or a Colossus

however, Islandwalker made most sense because of its name

and Colossus was a bit too small and the skeleton wasn't very humanoid-like

[acoustic osprey]

no

Magna was a rehashed PCE Rex

literally almost the exact same model

[muted reef]

Wait a minute what was primordial

[acoustic osprey]

we knew nothing about it

it was mentioned once
that is it

[muted reef]

So it can range from a place to something like islandwalker?

[acoustic osprey]

?

[muted reef]

Is it an animal, place, organism what is it

What was the mention

[acoustic osprey]

it was named like a thing

[proper musk]

im gonna have to do some catching up, lol

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
you don't have to with that stuff

it is very old and almost certainly won't come back again

[quartz sundial]

🥺

i liked the colossus tho

[acoustic osprey]

why

(colossus is the only one that actually is though, out of the three)

[quartz sundial]

it was epic

[hexed forge]

The Colossus is still real tho.

It is not gone.

However it may have gotten a redesign.

[quartz sundial]

🥲

[acoustic osprey]

IN TERMS OF COMING BACK

[hexed forge]

It's ok

We all make mistakes

[acoustic osprey]

no

[hexed forge]

Oh

[deep cairn]

I remember that old head model they did

I’m not a big fan of its design but it’s cool

I love tapwings art for it though it’s really awsome

[proper musk]

true, but id still love to know all the lore, so prob in my spare time ill look around the old lore sheets and such,

[deep cairn]

I’m curious too

It might have been a human with a proposterous amount of hyper testosterone

[acoustic osprey]

always free to ask us question 👌

[knotty locust]

interesting

[sly merlin]

Looks like a titan from ark ngl

Like the ice one but with green fur

Def not the face or tail, but similar body structure

What is colossus guyz ?

[merry zodiac]

genetically modified creature containing mostly human dna

[spiral elbow]

[proper musk]

Collossus Reaper and Mastermind remind me of the Groudon Kyogre Rayquaza trio from Pokémon,

i think the trio are humans that got the same injection as dinosaurs,

(i may say stuff thats obvious to all of y'all, but i havent had anything to do with The Isle in years)

[fast forge]

I believe they are indeed human versions of the three strains, yea

[long onyx]

is there a map with all the fences

You can see them on vulnona

oh the timing of that was uncanny

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[lethal moat]

What kind of human?

[acoustic osprey]

Just said humans in old lore

[proven schooner]

Can someone explain to me what gen 2 is, when I last heard they were just hired mercs but then I heard they were made by AE and I'm so lost

[proven schooner]

I think what the human was doing is pretty easy to awnser as I'd say its safe to assume he's an AE researcher just monitoring dibbles

[lethal moat]

Give this a read https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J3FnAzKdtmlIYzTfgSlevTgGLcn8h-Zaxlqn3WEicVw/edit

[proven schooner]

Aight thanks

[acoustic osprey]

I agree, however I do want to try and 'answer' who he was
At least in terms of theory work

[proven schooner]

Tbh I doubt that's really ever going to be expanded upon

I feel if he was a specific and lore important person he would've at least had a custom model

[acoustic osprey]

Fair
I should've said it better lol
Less so about the details of the character himself, and more so the 'who' he was subtextually
The meaning behind why they used a gen2 model, what Don has said, etc

If that makes any sense

He is like ERRANT-291 but even worse, that being one time characters that'll basically never return. I don't even think we'll ever know about whom he was as a person/ thing

[muted reef]

@acoustic osprey How's the video going

[acoustic osprey]

[acoustic osprey]

wonder how lore-ish the next steam banner will be, assuming there will be a new one

hopefully once Evrima becomes main branch
they do a good old rehash of everything on the steam page

because as cool as this is
if they did a 'v3' version of this
definitely have to redo the model a bit, plus the tunnel and vehicles

(as this is basically the v1 version, same idea, just older)

[low scarab]

what video you making?

[low scarab]

I hope they just redo this with more evrima colors maybe'

I quite like that one

[acoustic osprey]

a summary/part 2-ish video from my last video

because i only basically said 2 things about the dibble trail cam video

realised i had to actually properly look at it better with more points

[low scarab]

sweet ill keep an eye out

[long onyx]

mutant human i think

wait no thats gen 1 right

[proven schooner]

yes lul

[alpine lynx]

wasn't this one a magna utah

or sum like that

[alpine lynx]

atleast we had a skeleton about island walker in v3

we have nothing about primordial

no concept art, no skeleton type thing

literally just a name

maybe we'll see it what type of flawless animal it is in the future.

[alpine lynx]

neuros are incredebly smart

maybe they can telepathically talk to other species

or even controll electric fields which would end up at a electric shortage

which is really bad for the gen2's

[alpine lynx]

gen 1's are not mutant

atleast i wouldn't call them mutants

for me, they're more of a ape

a really dangerous, big and prob smart ape

[fast forge]

how are you defining mutant, here?

[alpine lynx]

mostly biologically, things like 2 headed snakes, baby goats with extra legs, etc.

i personally think that gen 1's are a mix between dinosaurs, humans and maybe apes

[fast forge]

It's just "mutant" in the common parlance is a very ambiguous and poorly-defined word

It's really just "any thing outside the norm, usually related to genetics"

Within the context of scientific development at AE, I don't know how helpful such a term is going to be

[alpine lynx]

well yes

but as far as i can see, gen 1's show human, ape and dinosaur traits

[fast forge]

Do you mean accidental vs intended creations?

[fast forge]

yes they seem to combine traits from across genera

[alpine lynx]

the feets really remind me of apes

atleast the ones that lives in the trees mostly

a chimp's feet and the gen 1's feet

[fast forge]

yes they seem to have opposable digits on the hind feet

[alpine lynx]

they look very similar other than the large claws

[fast forge]

But remember a trait like this could simply be locked away within human genetics. Similar to how some people will grow a tail because we still retain genes for those, they are just usually turned off

So you are adding apes into the mix, but humans are a type of ape

[alpine lynx]

true but, humans don't really show this type of a feet

[fast forge]

just like how we don't have tails

[alpine lynx]

we lost it because we lost our ability to climb long ago

[fast forge]

But that's the thing, traits aren't always "lost" just because they are silenced

I'm kinda playing devil's advocate here admittedly

[alpine lynx]

true but, usually they're really small

so i don't think a trait like that caused by human genes wouldn't be that similar to a chimp

im talking about the prehensile feet

[fast forge]

This doesn't mean we don't still have the genes for a tail. Most traits are the result of multiple genes interacting, so if only some genes are reactivated you can get partial expression of a trait, like a short tail instead of a full tail

[alpine lynx]

well true

[fast forge]

In any case my point is mostly unimportant, gen 1 could have any number of animals in the mix, we don't know and can't say for sure

[alpine lynx]

maybe in the future

[sly merlin]

That would be nice but be even more annoying for mixpacking

[alpine lynx]

ehh guess not

mixpackers are usually not smart and they make bad choices in their gameplay style

[sly merlin]

BUT that means they will understand what other dinos are saying so they can avoid or hide from them

[alpine lynx]

and its gonna be really hard to achive strains so...

[sly merlin]

True, but some are actually really smart especially in big groups

[sly merlin]

Yeah true ig it is worh it

[alpine lynx]

im pretty sure they'll gonna find a solution

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[spiral elbow]

<@&933486433342222376>

[proven schooner]

I mean

they are kinda like spliced human looking things

[muted reef]

But not mutants

They are intentional

[sonic rampart]

I wouldn't consider those to be mutually exclusive

[muted reef]

Actually...some of them probably are mutants cause each one seems to have some difference

[acoustic osprey]

well, that is if they were born different
and had the process/action of mutating, i.e. changing in form or nature

or even via birth

if it was intentional by AE, even if they truly didn't realise what they were doing, i wouldn't say it would be mutant-esque

however, to normal people
because Gen1s are humanoids, it is easy applicable to call them 'mutants'

[fast forge]

In a strictly scientific context, I'd say the term 'mutant' always seems to be used in relation to a normal state

So with animals we call the normal state the "wild type" (even if it's a domesticated animal), and then a mutant is a variant from that wild type

Mutants are often named for the name/location of the genetic change
So let's say some scientists knock out a gene called "ZQP", they might call this mutant strain a ZQP mutant
Of course many genetic changes like this don't have any observable physical effect, and certainly not anything monstrous like the mutants on my childhood cartoons

So if we are going with what most people would call a mutant, yeah gen 1 are kinda mutants
In a scientific sense... not really? If they are an established lineage of artificial organisms then they are kinda the wild type in this instance. And then relative to the basic Gen 1, something like the Eyeless would be a mutant strain (strain in the strict scientific sense)

[fast forge]

I do kinda love the vibe that gen 1 are these adaptive mutating organisms that change to fit the environment
Perhaps connected to the mutation system as we see it in game, in some way

[acoustic osprey]

If anything, strains, especially human strains, would definitely be mutants

[fast forge]

Probably yeah

Strictly speaking, a mutation is a change in DNA sequence

So if the process of becoming a strain changes the DNA itself, it's a mutation

That can be contrasted to something like genetic engineering, which usually uses a targeted mechanism to effect genetic change

And by targeted mechanism I mean it's probably a retrovirus

[acoustic osprey]

In Legacy, that would be the case

Strains weren't customly made like The Matriarch would've been

At least, human strains

A given human body whom which is given the strain and mutates

[acoustic osprey]

<@&933486433342222376>

[hexed forge]

Woah it's still there

https://tenor.com/view/dennis-nedry-jurassic-park-wayne-knight-gif-24822846

[crude tree]

What does Æ mean?

[sonic rampart]

Apollo Engineering

[acoustic osprey]

(as said above, that company is the main company we have been and are following from legacy and evrima lore)

quite likely a subsidiary of a bigger Apollo company, although we're not really 100% sure
we just know there are other subsidiary Apollo (Engineering?) companies like Apollo Red, Apollo Pharmaceuticals North, etc

but AE is a bio-engineering corp
Started off in botany and then went into more food and/or agriculture
however making dinos =/= food

[acoustic osprey]

i wonder if we'll ever have a B-443 reference for old times sake

or would that be crossing the "no PC/other games" line

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair, that would still invoke the idea of Magnas

which, no. Big no no

dumb question honestly lol

||i was just rewatching the old PCG trailer again...||

Noice

[hexed forge]

Replicate yourself and make infinite lore videos !!!!

[acoustic osprey]

not a noice moment

a sad moment

[hexed forge]

yeah Rumple how could you

Anyway

Hoping for GUTS stuff to be in next HT.

[acoustic osprey]

the only hope for me for next HT with GUTS is just the entrances being redone with the new models

[hexed forge]

Probably the safest bet, but even then-

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, can never be safe in the isle
you must survive

[hexed forge]

woah

[acoustic osprey]

if they don't get replaced
at least one or two things are added?

I doubt the Hub will be added
maybe

[pseudo fable]

There's actually some proto-tunnels that shave off travel already.

[patent ginkgo]

oh, very nice

[acoustic osprey]

interesting, like the tunnel at the docks that goes under the radio tower?

[pseudo fable]

Yes. Already connects out, but the tunnel itself is the placeholder for shape.

So it's truly a shortcut with no side areas.

[hexed forge]

Ah

[pseudo fable]

Like swamp tunnel.

[acoustic osprey]

ahhh

[hexed forge]

Honestly I expected the tunnels to be larger/"rounder"?, was a bit surprised when seeing it first on stream.

But oh well, this is what happens when you stare at that one legacy art piece for too much

[patent ginkgo]

dryos are starting to take over the map and install tunnels

[hexed forge]

woah

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
would love those big ones

would add some fear factor
but if all tunnels were large and big, would they take away from that fear? would you just get used to it being pretty big

because, like, nothing that big is really going to be coming out at you... right

but even the current tunnels would still be pretty scary. More claustrophobic

[hexed forge]

Wouldnt it be awesome if there was a GUTS generator.

Every server restart the orientation of the GUTS tunnels and facilities changes

Similar to that bunker idea

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-minion-minion-girl-cyring-gripping-gif-23947866

[hexed forge]

(Of course not all of the tunnels, talking about the deeper side of gateway I suppose)

[hexed forge]

I have claustrophobia so it shall be perfect

[hexed forge]

Legend says the less you post this gif, the less that minion suffers

[pseudo fable]

Probably a reason we build things on a grid, then.

[acoustic osprey]

Uh oh

[lethal moat]

[acoustic osprey]

Honestly that tunnel gives me steam banner vibes

[lethal moat]

Changing mental definition of GUTS from highway to labyrinth now

[hexed forge]

Pose a Rex in the tunnel from this perspective and you get another 2 day Rex Hypetrain in this server

Jokes aside, spooky.
Are the lights off for a reason? Or are the lights just that dark.

[acoustic osprey]

just saying...
https://gyazo.com/8d4aea4c75556b3abb273bb3cf8f7ad4
🙏 😔

[pseudo fable]

Jokes on you. There is no light in the actual tunnel. It's just recently been converted to a different mesh and don't affect the occlusion, so light is just bleeding through the back there.

There's a singular light source at the entrance that functions.

HIGHLANDS

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-manic-save-me-gif-27193560

[hexed forge]

Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN.

Anyway I could probably geolocate that brb, unless the terrain changed

[lethal moat]

That's an extremely ominous bush

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[lethal moat]

I think it's the volcano personally

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-menacingly-spongebob-standing-there-gif-19452999

[acoustic osprey]

oh that looks really sick

[hexed forge]

Riverdelta region I suppose

THATS SICK

[acoustic osprey]

really getting those overhang and overgrown vibes now

[lethal moat]

Nesting in the facilaties around a GUTS entrance would be cool, lots of places to hide, but next to a bottleneck for food

[patent ginkgo]

i LOVE this grass

been wanting something more upright for a while

[hexed forge]

I need to see the Docks again, in their overgrown state

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

[pseudo fable]

No ivy yet. Sanctuary also not done.

[acoustic osprey]

can't wait then for HT, hopefully, it seems

[hexed forge]

An overgrown sanctuary.... might be a pain for juveniles

[patent ginkgo]

also, i see this says landscape assets are out of date? does that relate to foliage?

[patent ginkgo]

or a blessing

[pseudo fable]

It doesn't. It's from me doing stuff.

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-death-of-stalin-happy-bravo-smile-gif-16665688

[weak crypt]

Highlands guts is neat

[hexed forge]

The stream clip was valentines fools, like April fools, but on valentines.

[weak crypt]

As long as there are good changes I’ll be happy

[acoustic osprey]

you had to say that right now

[pseudo fable]

Most are glorified entrances right now with little other purpose.

[hexed forge]

This definitely seems like the new delta/river region

[pseudo fable]

Look hard enough and you can tell exactly where it is.

[hexed forge]

Oh perimeter

(Now I just sound dumb)

Is that not a concrete wall?

[acoustic osprey]

looks like one

[delicate verge]

water access..? no..

[lethal moat]

Could be the dam

[hexed forge]

why

[delicate verge]

it's that little bit of orange that makes me think it's there

[hexed forge]

Actually

Possibly

[weak crypt]

It could be either

[acoustic osprey]

looking pretty spacey inside...

[weak crypt]

I know I’ll be using guts as a highway

[hexed forge]

Now I just need more fences and my dreams shall come true

[pseudo fable]

Yes, but the interior connections are still being built, so while we have rooms, they need to be connected for the layout.

And then everyone larger than a dilo can complain about their inability to navigate or see well in those areas.

[acoustic osprey]

ahh interesting

[delicate verge]

so what you're saying is troodons should nest in them

[hexed forge]

Wild guess

[acoustic osprey]

maybe the back of volcano?

as that has a entrance already

[hexed forge]

I really doubt its volcano,

Unless the map changes brought in highland terrain

[snow jasper]

my best guess in somewhere on gateway

[pseudo fable]

It's near the lake.

[patent ginkgo]

the canyon near south plains?

[lethal moat]

My bet is the bunker

Or that one at the end of the parallel fences

[hexed forge]

It cant be Volcano tho

[delicate verge]

i've hopped on my ptera, i can check some places >:D

[acoustic osprey]

this one is definitely the one at the volcano
next to the bridge

[lethal moat]

I'm less excited about tunnels than I am underground facilities

[hexed forge]

Unless theres new highland terrain at volcano, which may be a bit weird

[acoustic osprey]

bunker though for the other one? Maybe no

[hexed forge]

Definitely

Im staring at every rock I come through at highlands.

Only to find out that everything in that image is probably new/moved

[lethal moat]

Shush

[delicate verge]

they don't have lips LOL

[lethal moat]

We might need them on our side soon, don't make enemies

[patent ginkgo]

we are the diplomats™️

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-owl-run-running-baby-owl-gif-7889128

[lethal moat]

Diplomacy is the name of the game

[delicate verge]

still trying to figure this one out, did they edit the terrain around it or did they just put the structure in somewhere?

[patent ginkgo]

[lethal moat]

So how about them there oceans that look relatively unfilled with spooky things

[hexed forge]

Probably

[acoustic osprey]

yeah was going to say
that is probably where
interesting choice

[lethal moat]

Open up the atrium for the love of god

[hexed forge]

We'll get spiro rework before that happens probably

[acoustic osprey]

soon

[lethal moat]

Having the CCTV or security system named Argus could be neat

[acoustic osprey]

Did I stumble upon Apollo Files stuff?

Look to the humble Io for advice on how to gracefully be an EIP

Do not wake him from his slumber

He suffered too much in the diplomacy game already

[acoustic osprey]

wah oh

(The lore legion shall win)

right?
riiiight

filename is deliberately named lol

because uh...

[delicate verge]

oh wait you could be right

[hexed forge]

huh

[acoustic osprey]

unless, that is, they made the muscle more prominent in the actually model

because it doesn't look 'defined' in the artwork

[lethal moat]

That, or it's a different goober

[acoustic osprey]

[acoustic osprey]

i doubt it is the other version
could be a 3rd ... or eyeless....

[delicate verge]

yea its gen 1

[lethal moat]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's this one

[acoustic osprey]

doesn't look like him

because he has the whole through the mouth

[hexed forge]

Seems to be V2

[delicate verge]

v2 has the big mouth gap

[acoustic osprey]

i doubt they'd change that about it

[lethal moat]

Might be something else, I'm leaning toward a more finalized version of v2

[hexed forge]

Then its V3

[delicate verge]

naw they wouldn't make a 3

[hexed forge]

Isla V3

Clearly

[acoustic osprey]

why not

[hexed forge]

They definitely would

[delicate verge]

artwork for a 3 is one thing, modeling for a 3 is something else entirely

[acoustic osprey]

(unless they already have the two modelled)

[hexed forge]

You never know how much work has been done in the background

[delicate verge]

important thing to mention about v2 is that it doesn't have sharp teeth

this model has sharp teeth

[hexed forge]

Like when Gen2 progress was shown in the stream for 5 minutes, that was a bit shocking I guess

[delicate verge]

i do think it's v1

i mean cmon

[ionic sable]

Perhaps...

[acoustic osprey]

maybe a different head option that is related to v1

[delicate verge]

no two abominations look the same 🥰

[hexed forge]

Either V1 or V3

All look good

[acoustic osprey]

i doubt they'd need different bodies for v1 v2 v3 etc

mostly just head stuff

[delicate verge]

true yeah

[lethal moat]

Headswaps + skin customization would be neat

[acoustic osprey]

if they got the body finished for one, that means all they'd have to do is just heads

[hexed forge]

We need a gen1 with wrist-wings

Clearly

[acoustic osprey]

i mean, if you switch between v1 and v2
only the head changes

basically same with Gen2s
it is cool

stops meta choices via hitbox changes
