Saoul...

[sand seal]

Nope, but I was just gonna mute him.

[acoustic osprey]

Lol

[deft maple]

will all carnivores have a hypo stage in the isle evrima when your able to mutate?

[acoustic osprey]

We actually don't know

In lore, I can imagine there being the capability to have all carnis getting strains

But in game? Who knows sadly

[torpid roost]

considering not all herbivores will, some carnivores also might not get it

[acoustic osprey]

We don't know if any herbis will get strains

Just that there is nothing stopping them from getting strains

[fast forge]

It would be cool

[torpid roost]

yup

oh forgot that anky hypo concept was not official dang

was thinking about him

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/charles-mcfreedom-gif-25739838

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah none of them are... sadly... all Tapwing herbi strains are

But i can imagine them being turned canon
Like drone quetz

[fast forge]

I didn't watch TT GO, I don't know what he's saying here

[acoustic osprey]

It would be so awesome
It would be so cool

[torpid roost]

oh drone quetz was unofficial before we got to see it in devblogs? nice

so we might if they are making hypo herbis those peak desing concepts

[acoustic osprey]

Ye

[ornate comet]

Guys

I think I found juvie rex ambience

Ok I think this will work

20 seconds in

[quartz sundial]

im not ready to hear juvi rex squealy broadcasts 24/7 again

make it stop 😭

[ornate comet]

I heard it again as well

[pine rose]

thats a juvie trike

[ornate comet]

17 seconds

[ornate comet]

im like 90% sure it isnt

[pine rose]

maybe actually it is

[pseudo lantern]

yeah it is

[zealous void]

What server was this on

[ornate comet]

uhhhhh na4 west? whatever the most populated na west server was

[zealous void]

Sure it wasn’t na3?

[ornate comet]

i can check hold on

sorry it was na 1

west

[hallow ruin]

man u dont know how much i miss it

[night swan]

Is there an official lore to the isle?

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/very-gru-minion-annoying-gif-20213202

[night swan]

👀

I assume its basically exactly like Jurassic Park lol

[lethal moat]

Nope

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

[plush widget]

That sounds amazing

[fickle nebula]

reposting this in discussion to spread max misinformation about rex

[frozen totem]

Took bro 5 business days to get to that cluster of grass

[low scarab]

I love it when people say this lol

Bros forgetting the spooky machine that steals your consciousness

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[torpid roost]

thought it was an ava for a second but yh it sounds like juvie rex

a little changed from legacy

[torpid roost]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-darth-plagueis-anakin-star-wars-gif-11720001

[acoustic osprey]

realised i should send this from Scotachi over at lorecord

was just a cool little place at East Lake on HT

-203,542.865, 482,153.946, 27,448.554

makes me wonder if this is the "Ranger office edit"
but, honestly, i doubt.
This is more the mechanic hangar than a ranger office

if anything
this could be a replacement location for the same hangars original at East Dome

i believe this location just being slightly further north

i wonder why this area though for that

it is basically near nothing
besides being pushed away from the Dock because of the Hyper Fence

only thing it is close to is (slightly north of) the cave Wall at East Pond

i mean, if it is there for just looking cool
I don't mind

because as much as i would love the worldbuilding to be 100% logistical
that would be a fantasy. I don't, nor do i think a lot of people, really understand the true logistics of running anything alike to this

[frozen totem]

the vines are at least

[acoustic osprey]

the placement is 100% new

but the vines all around the map are definitely new new

[frozen totem]

ah alr

[frozen totem]

I had only seen them at docks

[acoustic osprey]

i do hope they add more vines to non-human models
just so it doesn't feel a bit out of place and weird

[frozen totem]

yeah, like around cliffs and such

[acoustic osprey]

a bit of hyperbole by me... sorry

[frozen totem]

https://tenor.com/view/anaconda-snake-choke-movie-anaconda-movie-gif-5653525

[acoustic osprey]

might be misremembering, but the little base at volcano with the silos had some weathering
Still in progress of course

but i do 100% hope that who ever is working on it, does not neglect this #isle-lore-theories message

[frozen totem]

yeah It'd be weird to have them only on human structures

[acoustic osprey]

ye

like the weathering is great
the vines, the 'ageing' concrete

but it gotta connect to everything still

like having a black tooth next to a bunch of shiny white teeth

(of course, i do believe it'll be done in 'due time')

gotta get those GUTS in!

[frozen totem]

where'd that weird conglomeration of hallways under the volcano go, by the way?

the one that was detached from everything

[hexed forge]

Removed.

Probably in preparation for the HT to be moved onto the Evrima Branch.

[fast forge]

ehhh, ivy would have been introduced by humans to the island as an ornamental plant, planted near human buildings

Not that I'm saying it couldn't have spread away from human buildings (the fruit can be carried by birds), just that you would expect it to be concentrated near them

[hallow rover]

i love the overgrown buildings

i need more of em

[frozen totem]

Who said it would be introduced? And if it was, who said ornamentally? Ivy isn't exactly a rare and hard to spread plant species, if it isn't native to the island(which tbf most plants probably aren't) it may not have been on purpose

[fast forge]

ivy is not native to tropical areas

And what use would it have aside from ornamental? That's literally the most common use for it globally

[frozen totem]

that's why I said it might not have been on purpose

[fast forge]

so I know a bit about invasive plants, and ivy doesn't exactly hitch rides on boats

it is spread around initially because people plant it because it is pretty

then when it blooms and fruits, birds carry the seeds to surrounding natural spaces

[frozen totem]

alr fair enough

[acoustic osprey]

My problem is that they're only on the buildings

Which feels a bit unnatural at the moment

[acoustic osprey]

As cerato said, it even includes the Hub

Although I will note, as i found in stream if you want to see it visually
I found out Replay isn't 'very' accurate in showing things

The DTA didn't have weathering in my replay yet the Dock Master did
The tunnel under the radio tower is also invisible, only showing the new 'middle section' stop

[wind shadow]

@lethal moat this you?

[hexed forge]

WOAH

[hexed forge]

Where is that lmao?

[wind shadow]

Idk 😭 someone sent this elsewhere and I thought it is hilarious

ptera looks like it's almost sitting as well

[hexed forge]

Might just be a weird texture thing? Some things going invisible and others not? Idk

[hexed forge]

Hm, so it might be fake?

It would be so funny if it is real.

[wind shadow]

I will double check, still it's hilarious

to have the ptera there in the office

[lethal moat]

It’s fake

[hexed forge]

😔

It looks so real, but oh well.

[wind shadow]

with its back perpetually bent over as it leant forward to see any microscopic details in the scratches of some random fence that prove the Matriarch is the friends we made along the way

[acoustic osprey]

hasn't really happened till now

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, it was just a joke

let me find who made it.... forgot their name

it was smifnoff

looks like a classic lorecordian brain though

[acoustic osprey]

but what i mean by this
is that the Hub could be invisible

still there
but hidden in replay

sounds like a lot of effort though, so it might be a new replay bug

[hexed forge]

I doubt it

[acoustic osprey]

you doubt it being a bug? yay

[hexed forge]

I doubt it being an intended feature to hide something in replay

[acoustic osprey]

potentially

i think it would be worth while to make in my opinion

it being something now though? I doubt
but

definitely better than just disabling replay

[hexed forge]

Mhm

[acoustic osprey]

although there would be pros and cons to doing so

i suppose, it is better to just disable replays (during a test like this)

[hexed forge]

Neat

There's overgrowth on the tunnel entrances aswell now.

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm, quite so

[hexed forge]

OH

[acoustic osprey]

i kinda hope they update the 'weathered' texture of the cement of the buildings
to be a bit like mossey cobblestone in minecraft

[hexed forge]

Thanks

Do not approach the tunnel

[acoustic osprey]

classic

[hexed forge]

Because you will fall through the ground!

Now I lost my 10 minute grown Hypsi

😔

[hexed forge]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

ShinyDegos showed this as well

which, if you go into replay
has three 'wide' tunnel highways

[hexed forge]

lol

I hope they finalize and fix them before releasing it onto the evrima branch.. But... Trike is the main concern... so they'll probably set it aside.

[acoustic osprey]

it was dark
but from my stream

[acoustic osprey]

yeah

[hexed forge]

I presume this isn't new?

[acoustic osprey]

old yeah

[viscid nova]

Redwoods...

[hexed forge]

Soon.. Soon we'll have them.. patience..

[acoustic osprey]

soon

[echo gazelle]

noos

[frozen totem]

they already have redwoods terrain in the dome

[hexed forge]

Indeed

[hexed forge]

This is the Ranger Office I think, and I do believe some stuff changed.

The chairs and the clock for example

But I think someone might have to go on the evrima branch and double check.

More Ivy on buildings and such

[frozen totem]

where is this

[hexed forge]

K15

[frozen totem]

ah im dumb

[hexed forge]

This is cool

I can't wait until it opens up a bit more, so much potential.

[nimble fractal]

Humans soon(tm) 🙏

[hexed forge]

Harbour Master is great now

Nice and filled, all the rooms.

Basically just a bunch of regular office furniture all over lol

[frozen totem]

is this a guts entrance

thought i saw something like it but there was no red light

[hexed forge]

Yup, at Docks

[frozen totem]

then again i was in replay

[frozen totem]

ah alr

[snow jasper]

Concrete and Glass is such a beautiful combo in the jungle

Would be a shame if there were to be a pachy staring at you from the other side of the glass

[plush widget]

Oh I gotta play Ptera and check the new stuff out

Looks great

[small gale]

lol imagine a ptera chasing u around an office

[torpid roost]

peak human experience in the isle

cant wait to get jumped by hypsys lol

[torpid roost]

where is it?

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-iii-jurassic-park3-jurassic-park-pteranodon-gif-22721714

🤣🤣

[hexed forge]

lol

[hexed forge]

Docks

[acoustic osprey]

oh nice, it has a red light!
that section

oh and my dog pressed enter

[acoustic osprey]

that section was at the unfinished Hub section at volcano

good to see it is being 'practically' used

[hexed forge]

Yup

[acoustic osprey]

(i said this on stream but i REALLY love ceiling to floor windows)

these aren't true ceiling to floor
but they're close enough

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1347232022757642251/1347277708295409755/2021_Env_Concept_Building_Overgrowth_4-min.png?ex=68472aa4&is=6845d924&hm=27805fda19230b0ba68ab052b5c84bd4aeeee7e38cee05323493a284e6127657&

this is true ceiling to floor though
and when they're on an angle

i HOPE they add this building
if not, i might have to make it myself or pay Tamim (if i suck at doing it once modding is in)

[acoustic osprey]

i was hoping there was going to be a glance sheet (or two!) in this new area

don't know why i got my hopes up lol

but we're getting there

[hexed forge]

haha.... we can only wish...

[acoustic osprey]

SOON

i do hope and believe Don meant by his 'when it is finished' is when the Industrial Hub is fiinshed (at volcano, i presume)

[hexed forge]

So not this HT.. and maybe not even the next one..

[acoustic osprey]

maybe when Rex is out...

like we're definitely not giving the most 'up-to-date' map

at least, that is what it seems when we see dondi streams in the engine

[frozen totem]

Still no visitor center

[acoustic osprey]

i doubt it was real

and more so a red herring

akin to what Don said about the stats in his streams

[frozen totem]

Man

Sad

It was big ole circular foundation in swamp tho

And I'd imagine AE would have a place for investors/interviewers

[acoustic osprey]

'sunken'

[frozen totem]

Still

[acoustic osprey]

no i know, was just adding onto it

cause the sunken part was a nice little worldbuilding bit

[frozen totem]

Swamp mush

[lethal moat]

Remember flooded visitor center

[acoustic osprey]

that may or may not be the conversation

https://tenor.com/view/salieri-mozart-peak-its-peak-amadeus-gif-8152300582807068856

[ornate silo]

Is Dilo Dog cannon?

[lethal moat]

Ben is, Dilo dog is not

[ornate silo]

explain this

[sonic rampart]

ben

[ornate silo]

what is ben?

[sonic rampart]

also fan-made

[ornate silo]

oh

that's explains

Donde isn't cool enough to add Dilo dog 🤓

[hexed forge]

That is ben tho

[runic hinge]

this is me

[fast forge]

Reminds me of the main building in Voices of the Void

oh hey it does kinda look like an AE building

[acoustic osprey]

Oh yeah

[acoustic osprey]

This is based off dekerrex's artwork of a more 'lorish' ben

However, we have no official artwork or anything visual of Ben yet

[fast forge]

• Horror game
• Brutalist architecture
• Floor to ceiling windows (nearly)

[acoustic osprey]

Lol

[fast forge]

I don't want horror ben, I want awkward silly ben

[hexed forge]

Either way he'll be shoved into a random tank

[lethal moat]

I want both

[fast forge]

Imagine climbin around in this thing as a herrera or hypsi

[acoustic osprey]

The TANKS

[hexed forge]

thanks

[fast forge]

Ivy

[low scarab]

🥀

Technically Ben should be getting a random test tube somewhere tho

[low scarab]

Yo @hallow ruin

It’s the cool game

[fast forge]

Maverick clued me in to this

[hexed forge]

It is just so random

Is there a path leading to it? Any fences around it?

[fast forge]

it's really hard to tell in the dark, I'm gonna wait until day

[fast forge]

I think there is a small trail, but it's really just out in the brush

[hexed forge]

Just seems so out of place imo

[fast forge]

if the island had been out of use for years it would make sense for some locations and smaller roads to become overgrown

and this one seems really overgrown

[hexed forge]

There isn't even a fence around it, I don't think the fence would just disappear would it? Even if it has been a long time, it doesn't just erode or get buried into the mud like that.
I'm guessing it isn't totally finished? Maybe?

[fast forge]

yeah it has a small path that leads to the road

better daytime look

it's kind only the little garage

never noticed these hatches
fuel storage like a gas station?

[hexed forge]

I see

[fast forge]

fuel storage is my simplistic answer

escape hatch is the fun answer

[acoustic osprey]

Oh I didn't realise it had a cement foundation

Scotachis photo didn't show much

[acoustic osprey]

Could be related to this modular piece

Or the same model as the ladder at docks

[acoustic osprey]

@hexed forge this is what I think about it

[hallow ruin]

oh

[hallow ruin]

looks like that one concept isaac showed of the 2019 isle with that base in the middle of a lake
please tell me u know it

also you're goated for knowing Voices Of The Void

[acoustic osprey]

This?

[hallow ruin]

yup!!

also good morning chat its 6AM almost

[acoustic osprey]

Hi

[hexed forge]

I see

[fast forge]

I still haven't finished it

[hallow ruin]

i watched it never played it tbh

it and SOMA are really my fav

[fast forge]

I learned about it through watching Tomato

[hallow ruin]

yup!

[acoustic osprey]

damn, does look cool though

back home, so i have my computer
Nicely creepy

all i feel like it needs is a bunch of 'ripped' posters (AE Propaganda) around the walls
has that vibe

I do hope, once they make that 'propaganda', that it is also weathered

[acoustic osprey]

H4 potentially coming soon?
this whole section has been flattened finally
https://gyazo.com/c8b8ef506871130c8eb833daa92c8522

although, a bit more east of it
has a much nicer looking hill

[plush pier]

this is new ?

looks cool

[acoustic osprey]

the room, yeah!

[plush pier]

what else is new ? and where is it

[acoustic osprey]

nothing much
just some additions to the dockyard

that being some weathering
and the some tweaks to the tunnels

[hexed forge]

Yuppp, saw this while flying over to Docks

[tulip trout]

i am really just here for the conspiracy's

[acoustic osprey]

why.....!!!

it is interesting though to see it being updated
especially now it has been given a bigger facelift than we've seen in ages (cause, it has changed 'a bit')
just not a lot till now

[hallow ruin]

wow

[hallow ruin]

wow.

[patent ginkgo]

not sure if its been found yet, but theres a GUTS entrance at -71,082.747, -253,669.291, 39,440.854

[regal horizon]

Highlands?

[torpid roost]

the one following the big path at the lake?

[patent ginkgo]

bit northwest of it

[patent ginkgo]

no its coming out of a mountain ridge in a jungle

@dusk hearth #isle-lore-theories message

some good info there

[dusk hearth]

Thank you I don’t see much of anything about strains and hyper dinos except sum sentences speculating

[patent ginkgo]

yeah unfortunately theres not much solid info on them - basically theyre some sort of "corruption" of some dinos that give certain favorable extreme traits

given the name, a lot of people think theyre a sort of disease

theres the potential that strain research was part of an effort to treat some genetic conditions, but theres not much on that except that its not a direct relationship

honestly we dont really even know what most strains look like, except for the hyper rex and neuro spino

tisso strain is almost entirely unkown except for the reaper concept art we got recently-ish

[fast forge]

@hexed forge @acoustic osprey @lethal moat @hallow ruin Any of y'all got some strain concept art you could share with this fellow?

[dusk hearth]

Thank you very much

[fast forge]

np

[fast forge]

oh yeah I think that's one of the oldest ones, got revamped a bit recently

[snow jasper]

reminds me, i should update the archive

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-shornt-wish-i-could-cant-wont-gif-16241221

[hallow ruin]

thank you so much for considering im trustworthy for this 🙏

and sure, lot of them

[lethal moat]

I woke up minutes ago, I gotchu

[hallow ruin]

(Old) but it sums it up and gives a general idea

H-Type (Hyperendocrin)

T-Type (Tissoplastic)

N-Type (Neurotenic)

[lethal moat]

Short video with pretty much all the stuff except for these

[hallow ruin]

these are the main 3 strains, nothing else exists except for a "Byproduct of Tissoplastic strain"
M-Type (Matriarch) ,which im not sure if would be included as strains

oh wow...

u lil nerd

[dusk hearth]

😂

[dusk hearth]

Thank you

So strains are referring to tree types?

Orrr

https://tenor.com/view/btweers-gif-12554037691025205909

[hallow ruin]

no literally look what at what i said before rumple

[dusk hearth]

Ok

[hallow ruin]

strains could be either plants or creatures

[lethal moat]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J3FnAzKdtmlIYzTfgSlevTgGLcn8h-Zaxlqn3WEicVw/edit

[hallow ruin]

we have a lot more content of strain creatures than plants tbf

[dusk hearth]

Is Indo Rex qualify as a strain?

[hallow ruin]

indominus rex?..... kill this guy

send him to tartarus

I’m finna breeze through this jawn

[hallow ruin]

to be honest? the damn lore is WAAAY more fun and cooler than the game itsself

at least evrima, legacy had its vibes 😔

legacy felt like its one with lore and backstory
evrima really looks like a cheap spinoff (honest opinion)

[dusk hearth]

You guys don’t like indorex?

[hallow ruin]

i fricking love it its among my fav
but its a bit crazy to think its in the isle man 😭

[lethal moat]

Nyope

IT IS IN THE ISLE?!

[hallow ruin]

the most goated creature in the franshise

[hallow ruin]

dude what are you on

[dusk hearth]

Nah facts

Did you not just say it’s in the isle

[hallow ruin]

Indominus-Rex is NOT in the isle

[dusk hearth]

[lethal moat]

He’s saying you’d be crazy to believe it’s in the isle, because Warner Bros owns that animal

[hallow ruin]

JP/JW is NOT connected to the isle AT ALL
|| well, aside from the isle lore being a JP lore clone ||

[dusk hearth]

Just call it shindorex or sum then boom

[hallow ruin]

oh well i guess we did that!

[dusk hearth]

Which one lemme see

Is that In the doc?

glorious art youve put together an absolute masterpiece

[hallow ruin]

top 3? on what

[dusk hearth]

[hallow ruin]

heres the right one #isle-fan-art message

strains...

[sour forge]

looking forward🔥

[hallow ruin]

strains away from their dinosaur forms, also have humanoid ones
so we got H-type human, T and N-type

plus, we also have a creature called "The Matriarch" that is a byproduct of T-type strain

[dusk hearth]

Sick

[lethal moat]

We need neuro stuff other than the zombie apocalypse

[torpid roost]

or tisso dinos

wanna know how they look

[acoustic osprey]

i do wish we better graphed these locations before hand...
but! I have no idea

Cerato probably knows
Cerato knew!

[acoustic osprey]

yes and no
Not in terms of specifically 'plants/trees' (as mentioned by TS1)

But, that, we are a bit unsure how 'strainy' are Plant strains in contrast to Dinosaur Strains

[dusk hearth]

gotchya

so the lines alot more distinct with the creatures

[acoustic osprey]

as most of these new plant strains are really 'new'
so we only have one of each

i.e. they seem like new and individual 'species'
rather than a strain of a pre-existing specimen

[acoustic osprey]

definitely
That might be, though, because we've seen more of them
than plants

[acoustic osprey]

like we only see one Metallivore
one Mendys

And not "X Plant Name" Metallivore

only thing close is ArborBurst saying "ArborBurst Redwood" (which is what Rumple said)

but... yeah!

[lethal moat]

We haven’t discussed AE’s leadership or structure in a good minute

[acoustic osprey]

bit of a hard question/discussion

[torpid roost]

jhon cake?

[acoustic osprey]

we really only have one or two quotes we can talk about

maybe a bit more

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/omniman-gif-14630127154495075510

[torpid roost]

but out of jokes i never heard of a single human name in the isles lore

[acoustic osprey]

what do you mean!
Have you never heard of █████.████████ before?
or █████?
or what about Dr.████ █████ !

lol

(these are actual 'peoples' in-lore, just we no known actual name)

[torpid roost]

thats what i mean

was just wondering if i missed any

[acoustic osprey]

or ### BARS B##

[acoustic osprey]

in terms of actual names? Closest we had to is the one i just sent
However, we can't dechiper of the whole name sadly

[torpid roost]

even in legacy lore?

[acoustic osprey]

legacy lore had more
(we had names)

Dr Whyse
Dr Drive
Dr Chance
Dr Vega

from the tip of my tongue

there was a bit more, but i can't remember

oh, Damien as well (Khorne)

[torpid roost]

cool

[acoustic osprey]

Dr Chance and Damien were actual islecordians as well

Vega being an old dev

Whyse? No idea

[torpid roost]

so if closest hint we have is if any of those names were keept into evrima lore

[acoustic osprey]

Whyse was used in the Neuro Spino twitter (iirc) showcase

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/old-salieri-amadeus-you-flatter-gif-20384746

nothing... if anything, they likely won't come back

maybe besides Vega, as a homage to his work in 2014-2018 (2017? can't remember)

[torpid roost]

why not

[acoustic osprey]

but, so far, we basically know no proper Evrima names
which makes me think if we'll ever get names

besides code names and acronyms
like ERRANT-291 or JC346

[torpid roost]

matriarch is still cannon in evrima right?

it was from legacy tho

[acoustic osprey]

ye

yeah, but we got confirmation it'd be coming back
with some changes to it

the important part to reconcile is that she was a lot more substanial and important than, say, Damien or Dr Whyse

who were basically one time named characters

[torpid roost]

hope when ever it comes, its due to another lore hunt and sneaked on a official trailer

[torpid roost]

what she did in legacys lore?

[acoustic osprey]

a huge experiment that was placed to study within Tartarus
She was calculated and very focused, unless most 'animals' - and was a very adaptable organism
Made to coincide with the objective parameters to complete an EIP

[torpid roost]

thankyou bro

[acoustic osprey]

no worries!

[torpid roost]

going back to this, which quotes?

[acoustic osprey]

apologises, was just doing something in the loredoc

you reminded me that i should actually add the 'unknown' characters into the doc lol

but i'll try and find the quotes

i believe this is an interesting insight into how AE/Apollo work and do business, therefore, how their CEO and/or board of directors (however the company is structured) wants to or has to aim the company

therefore, giving us a bit of a glimpse into their past - potentially

why is it that they have no ability to choose what nations/governments to work with?

of course, there could be many theories about such. Nothing defined that could really help us.

hence why i do feel like Rumps question is a bit of a "hard question/discussion"

there is also another quote, but from a stream

a better quote, 100%

and more of a stronger insight into the leadership of Apollo Engineering/Apollo

especially why it may have been created or directed in their early years, at the very least

[lethal moat]

The world is ending
Lets fix that

[acoustic osprey]

but does such a goal turn corrupt over time?

Humans do change, Doctor House!
they do!!

probably my biggest gripe with the show is that his whole mindset of humans not changing is a bit flawed

humans change, and they mostly change for the worse. Especially for money.

maybe that is how they always were? And that those who become 'evil' were 'born' evil?

but i don't believe that people born in the worst situations are, therefore, born 'evil' and stay 'evil'

they just were given poor cards in life, therefore they cannot break out of that system

but does that mean their endgoal in life is to make everything better for everyone?

sometimes yes, sometimes no

[lethal moat]

Has it corrupted? Sure they’ve been doing bad things, but I see it as a natural progression more than a distortion of values

[acoustic osprey]

that is the question

have they changed their plans? Do they work for such 'higher purpose' but with a price-tag (of any kind)?

i would like to see if they stay pure or do what companies almost always do

[lethal moat]

I believe what AE is currently experiencing is, for the most part, either expected or partially planned for

[acoustic osprey]

fair
i suppose i do, more so, mean about if, and if so how, the underbelly has changed over time?

I.e. the subtext of getting to 'x' route/endgoal/plans

however, i can imagine that being the case with bodies that exist for a long time

if AE is and was fairly 'young' (till whenever we play, which AE has clearly lost a lot ||potentially being almost abandoned/powerless||)
then i can imagine their goal, and therefore actions, being quite pure

of course, nothing is ever 'truly' pure in the world or morals... there is always "X" and "Y" opinion

which is what i believe Don refers to with Dino Holy Wars
whether or not that specifically happens. The 'sabotage' (forgot the word Don uses) of TOMB was and had to be on purpose

AEs may of doing things may be a lot more long term

Alas, hard to comment. There is only 'so much' we can talk about, about it lol

on other news
updated the lore doc a tiny bit

█████.█████████: The unknown person who led the development (the supervision) of Diabloceratops 0.1.2.

█████████: The unknown individual who directed CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, in vitro, of Citrus sinensis under APOLLO ENGINEERING Research, which was then transformed into plant cells. Potentially the same ‘entity/person’ who conducted the same procedure on Anacardium occidentale.

the first character was updated a tiny bit.
the last 2 were newly added

2nd character is from this

'supervision of' seems to imply a specific character
but

i did add a footnote saying that "X" person could potentially, rather, be another entity entirely.
Like an organisation or machine/program, etc.

and "█████████" seems to be, more or less, a proper person

coming from the bottom right of this^

The same blurb is on the Cashew one

so i put down, as mentioned in the message, that this character/entity is likely the same person who did both procedures

i am contemplating, however, if i should add the characters from ERRANT-291? Especially "BARS"

but i am very 50/50 on it

seeing as it is basically more and more of █████

What if we got concept art for the giant crabs some day

[hallow ruin]

One day

[acoustic osprey]

One day...

[hallow ruin]

THERE IS NO WAY. THERE IS NO WAY ISLANDWALKER IS THAT BIG. @acoustic osprey

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/yuge-huge-donald-trump-gif-7357158

[hallow ruin]

also is that V3?

i fr thought its some other map

[lethal moat]

What if they stealth dropped giant crabs instead

[fast forge]

very cool

[hallow ruin]

wait that looks odd

it is like V3 and also isnt

[echo gazelle]

That was AE-001

[hallow ruin]

isnt it some AE name for V3?

[echo gazelle]

Supposedly AE-012

[hallow ruin]

ah
cool

[acoustic osprey]

no

it was a, technically, unreleased map

[hallow ruin]

how did that guy get access to it

[acoustic osprey]

they downloaded it iirc

ask @crude tree

[hallow ruin]

so at some point, it was available

oh wow hi

hes an AE employee surely got some info

[acoustic osprey]

it was available on the development branch
but i don't think it was fully released properly

[hallow ruin]

how would one access development branch 🤔 this doesnt sound right

[acoustic osprey]

no idea
best to ask Tickz

[hallow ruin]

but i DO remember a map that had hypo rex head

i remember it very well, just burried in my brain

[echo gazelle]

The Development Branch was just the old "test" servers, showcasing things, the AE-001 map was one of them

[acoustic osprey]

might've been a server

Luncha already said it

the servers were like The Isle Official Dev 1

couldn't remember if they were on legacy (main) or a separate branch, it has been a while

[echo gazelle]

This is exactly what it was called at the time, and it was Legacy techincally but it was similar to switching to Evrima in a sense

[acoustic osprey]

ah yeah, just didn't know what branch it was on

[echo gazelle]

iirc it was just "development branch"

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, thought so

almost 10 years now...

[echo gazelle]

Real

[acoustic osprey]

it is terribly painful to find footage of it lol
proper coverage

i swear there were more videos on it out there

honestly might just be YT search engine being the best thing in the world 🥰

[echo gazelle]

Footage of AE-001?

[acoustic osprey]

012

Tickz's video showing AE-001 was very nice though

seeing as it is basically just free roam camera showing everything

[echo gazelle]

012 had a pretty short lifetime as I recall, the footage you find of it basically had the same things but redwoods, that cannibal cave coming out the wall, statues etc

[acoustic osprey]

if only it came into fruition...

lore-wise, things were actually happening with the islands

thank you 2019 😔

[echo gazelle]

I wish too, ever since the console stream was the time I feel Lore truly had a kickstart, then came the release of batch 12 sometime 2018 and then AE-012 was available

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, a time to be alive for sure

things actually feeling like they were rolling
transmissions left right and centre

actual lore things being shown about for and within the game like the v3 more 'lorey' map outline

we're slowly getting back to that point. As nicely and sadly as it is, being that it has been 5 years now.

At least Don seems to be wanting to make THIS with proper foundation
Evrima with foundation, Lore with foundation (like with building the timeline doc)

[echo gazelle]

I do miss transmissions, they were fun. I believe he has all the bad times in store for the community. I think the Usgx film and camera being found was the first in-game thing to happen in a long while as far as I'm concerned

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, agreed.
They will be very missed 😔

but yeah! Basically was the first lore thing with community engagement since forever

especially in-game stuff

i do remember there was some twitter stuff though
with reposting

has been a while now.... hard to check seeing his twitter is gone
can't remember where it was done

[echo gazelle]

I recall the Gen 1 Incubation tweet from before but don't believe I saw what you are referring to

[acoustic osprey]

just found it
this one

i believe this one needed user interaction
but we never got it

but to be fair, we never got it... so... maybe it never needed retweets

there were also these ones
Although, i never got to experience these

if they were real or not, i have no idea

might have to ask bhaltair

[echo gazelle]

Yeah the Gen 1 needed 1000 retweets, never recieved though as you said

Don't hear much from Bhal nowadays

The involvement in lore then was still very small as was the community so it didn't surprise me

[acoustic osprey]

yeah... the retired islecord mod life...

very mystical

[acoustic osprey]

yeah... shame...

it GOT 1000 retweets as well, apparently, before it was shut down

but 1000 too late... 😔

i believe they shut it all down in 2022? I'll have to double check

basically when lore was in the super dark

so i am not surprised, it all started moving at the end of that year

yep
seems like it was deleted just as when ERRANT-291 was released lol

which is funny cause

i suppose a homage to it being shut off at the same time

[lethal moat]

Please let the players be the ones to reactivate the twitter

[acoustic osprey]

IMAGINE

that would be sick
especially as a lore hunt

🙏

[echo gazelle]

Sort of a reclamation of Site 12 that would be pog

[acoustic osprey]

haha, would be a mad dream

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/salieri-mozart-peak-its-peak-amadeus-gif-8152300582807068856

something like that could be akin to what SoT used to do
I did tell Don about that

not sure if i did it justice

but, still, would be sick to have anything even remotely similar

[acoustic osprey]

GUH

i found a bugged spot at the hangar
fell through
I tried to fly to the Volcano, to see if the Hub would load in

but i flew too close to the sun... (i hit an underwater 'ocean' below volcano, despite being above sea level)

https://tenor.com/view/icarus-too-close-too-close-to-the-sun-we-flew-too-close-to-the-sun-gif-24784389

i died shortly after lol

i want to go back, as i KNOW replay doesn't load everything

like the underwater base at E19 (give or take) doesn't load properly on replay
but it has a whole foundation when i flew near it as Ptera (under the map via the glitch spot)

i also was able to press the Gen2 button but nothing happened

[plush widget]

Which branch?

[acoustic osprey]

HT

[plush widget]

Your replay works on HT?

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, just can't record

[plush widget]

What does that even mean lol

[acoustic osprey]

i just use my old recordings for replay

[plush widget]

Ahhh

[acoustic osprey]

also i could still record on one of the EU servers before the 2nd HT update

[plush widget]

Yeah, it seems like the 2nd update did the damage

Might have been done on purpose to hide any rex spotting

[acoustic osprey]

potentially
I don't think it stopped it though lol

Replay

not the best photo, but with the bug

you can't see the tunnel in Replay
but you can with Ptera

it is quite interesting and i wonder what triggers the inability to see certain things like that

like i want to say because it is 'too far' from my character

but i have a recording of being at the DTA
and yet, the weathering on it doesn't show

but if i go to the Habour Master, it shows
despite being further away

[plush widget]

Why would they put stuff below the map

Never thought about that

[acoustic osprey]

from the picture i showed, that'll be GUTS stuff from the looks of it

but this 'human base/ranger station'?
has been there since launch (iirc)

and it is right next to Docks

it is quite fascinating, and mysterious

[acoustic osprey]

i don't think you saw our convos
but we used to use Admin Spec. to see future fence placements as well

crazy to think they use 'below the map' for stuff like this

[plush widget]

I didn't see that, yeah

Interesting

I saw you talking about H4 tho

[acoustic osprey]

[acoustic osprey]

this was a while ago
might've just been on lorecord, so a bit more obsurce discussions

[plush widget]

Lol

Remind me please

H4 is a base in gateway right

I do remember K15

[plush widget]

North iirc

[acoustic osprey]

yeah... just not in public gateway
We've never technically had H4...

but yeah
H4 is/would be an actual Ranger Station/Human Base, more west than H6 (which is the place with the large rock overhanging)

[plush widget]

Oh I am most likely confusing it with H6 then

[plush widget]

How did we know of it's existence tho

Lore video mentioning it?

[acoustic osprey]

Das a bingo

First and only mentioned in the AUGUSTUS video

Although...

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-no-there-is-another-gif-13219422633830481682

[plush widget]

In The dibble video right ?

F5?

Or something like that

[acoustic osprey]

no...

only a very obsurce and old reference

[plush widget]

😮

[acoustic osprey]

literally just this

Sector H4
Lockdown Protocol Reset

[plush widget]

Oh

Strike me as something that happened post incident

Is the pre/post incident timeline that we talk about constantly, even confirmed to exist.

Like, was there some type of incident

Cause we assume that because of the broken down fences, the worn down bases etc

[acoustic osprey]

likely no

[acoustic osprey]

apparently it might be less so 'one big incident'
and more so a few things happening over "X" amount of time

like we know TOMB was raided/attacked (cannot remember the actual term sorry)

[plush widget]

Do we know by what

[acoustic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/0617d1e8e075ae1fe7dd7e7359f2aed1
the kinda being 'not the right term to use'

it was 'eradicated' by, likely, some sort of entity
either a rival company, certain peoples or maybe even a forced hand towards AE?

also to give a bit more context to "the incident"

that being, whether or not it was an incident

also had to make sure I wasn't sending the wrong message by saying TOMB was "eradicated"

because i remember we all were basically saying "TOMB = Purged" for quite a while

but yeah, eradicated. Not purged.

Will have to add this to the lore doc, never realised it was never done lol

Guh!

[muted hill]

Little question about our friend here ive been pondering

I am likely misremembering but doesnt the repilcator have a way to defend itself? its a god like machine that can bring you back to life so I don't see that being that far fetched, I was wonder did 291 here go to the transmitter to attempt to "leak" apollo secrets which was then intercepted by the replicator or someone/thing linked to it and it was somehow able to induce the cardiac arrest? Im making this sound like a 5g causes illness type scenario lmao

oh wait it says the transmitter was seemingly down at the time nvm

[acoustic osprey]

honestly depends on what The Replicator is in Evrima lore
with what you mean with

I am likely misremembering but doesnt the repilcator have a way to defend itself

[muted hill]

ah right

[acoustic osprey]

but it is quite likely, in my opinion, that ERRANT-291 seemingly wanted to go to OLYMPUS TRANSMITTER
but, as we see, marked it down as offline

of course, it might just be an observation

however, it would make sense and meaning by making it so he writes it down because it is offline due to needing to use it

shortly being found wandering near/at it

being marked down as wandering near D Section Interior

[muted hill]

Do you think its more likely that he wasnt even supposed to be near it then?

[acoustic osprey]

also the errant-291 thing there is wrong... woopsie
'warning' is not right

typo

[muted hill]

wandering near D section makes it sound like 291 wasn't meant to be there or was away from their post

[acoustic osprey]

i believe he had some sort of purpose in going to "D Section" (i.e. Olympus Transmitter)
Seeing as he marked it down as offline

but 'wandering' is a very interesting phrase to use

maybe AE never realised what ERRANT-291 was doing properly?

[muted hill]

him marking at as offline makes it sound like he was checking in on it like maintenance

but yeah "wandering" makes it sound like he was away from post, unless AE changed a few words to cover something up?

[acoustic osprey]

seeing as he was wandering near or at

I do believe maybe the timeline of events goes like this

ERRANT-291 finished SHIFT
ERRANT-291 quickly does to OLYMPUS TRANSMITTER, but finds it is offline
ERRANT-291 cannot (potentially) complete his goal so he wanders away from OLYMPUS TRANSMITTER - hence wandering near D Section (D Section = OLYMPUS TRANSMITTER)
ERRANT-291 is then detained

all happens in, give or take, 7 minutes

[acoustic osprey]

potentially, ye

[acoustic osprey]

agreed

[acoustic osprey]

also the seven minute part is not written there
in the doc

apologises

[muted hill]

cardiac arrest could either be a cover for "we shot bro" but to me if they didnt cover anything up it feels like an outside force caused it

[acoustic osprey]

it is a hidden phrase you can find if you bump up the brightness on the original doc

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[muted hill]

Walking away from an apollo POI then has sudden health problem? doesnt add up to me

[acoustic osprey]

although

https://gyazo.com/9fbf7d43ad0b78b192996568efe5d136

[muted hill]

well well well

[acoustic osprey]

they have a autopsy report

if they did kill him
maybe they did an autopsy report on another body? and filed it as ERRANT-291

seems a bit complicated, but we can't really tell

but i would say occam's razor would say probably not

lol

[fast forge]

I always liked the idea that 291 was controlled by something not human

[torpid roost]

maybe they have caused him a cardiac arrest on purposse

[acoustic osprey]

wakes up from 'drone-mode' and dies

[acoustic osprey]

BOO 👻

dies

[torpid roost]

tasers

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[muted hill]

is it possible 291 wasn't really human, but a potential gen 2?

[fast forge]

We are getting AE's perspective but they seem nearly as baffled by the situation as us

[acoustic osprey]

yeah, definitely a possibility

*hence a biotrace (?) *

[fast forge]

I like the idea that most AE employees would have a fancy gen 2 body by this point

This feels more like "we found this gen 2 body walking around but don't know who is in it"

[muted hill]

its the whole cardiac arrest after getting near something important thats got my interest

I do think its either a cover story for the individuals fate OR it was unnaturally caused

[fast forge]

oh yeah, it def feels like a spy story where someone takes a lethal pill so that they won't divulge secrets

but instead the random cardiac arrest feels like it might have been triggered by some external (or internal?) entity via remote

[muted hill]

exactly

[snow jasper]

I forgot, is Tartarus or is TOMB the storage thingy
or am I just imagining things

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[snow jasper]

Storage as in digital/data storage? Or physical?

See above

Tomb presumably being EIP storage, tartarus potentially being storage for other things

The most beautiful place on AE-001

There were already giant fences, but they were never used in the legacy.

[hexed forge]

AE-001 did not make any sense for me imo, seemed like it was something from a fantasy. The early stages at least.

[fast forge]

this feels very silly tbh

as cerato said, fantastical

[frozen totem]

yeah, I doubt gen1 are carving that

Yeah that’s what I told them, I thought they were asking what the AE name for V3 was and it was supposedly AE-012. Same layout and all

[iron anchor]

Lol 2 calling hyper rex statue

no
AE-001 wasn't the basis for V3
AE-012 uses a few assets from 001, but not the same island / seperate maps

One dock is not enough sorry, it is time for more docks around Gateway

[acoustic osprey]

east dock here, east dock there, east dock everywhere

[hexed forge]

no.. west.. south..north 😔

[ionic fog]

Swamp? Destroy, become marina and dockyard

If an airfield were to be on seahorse island having another place for boats south would be good logistically, rather than go all the way to port and have to travel by land to Hexdome

The scraggly one in the south east, decided by Vulnona map https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/855527844670865438/1307549126786940958/image.png?ex=684a4a84&is=6848f904&hm=fe11e41ca3c8583f7f163c5de85701f8976aa57c70c7fabb47ca20867cbc6fad&

But Vulnona doesn’t call Britain Britain, so what does it know

[acoustic osprey]

all i see is Britain, sorry

[ionic fog]

TWO britains?!

That’s two more britains than any map should have

[acoustic osprey]

there is only one...
sorry

[acoustic osprey]

woohoo

soon

[acoustic osprey]

someone noticed how Don was using Obsidian still for the lore doc on stream
I do wonder if he uses obsidian to its 'fullest'

and if so
i wonder how his notes are going... haha

[knotty locust]

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[hallow ruin]

dude.. i remember it like a dream.. the redoowds and the skeleton
but never rememebered how big it was. wow

[hallow ruin]

i want to cry 😔

[hallow ruin]

obsidian?...

[acoustic osprey]

application

basically for note organisation

[hallow ruin]

and its like, neuro cell type thing based or smth?

that image above looks wierd lol

[acoustic osprey]

the 'cells' are called notes
basically you can make related notes
that contains similar ideas and connect it for ease of navigation

[hallow ruin]

the perfect thing to write some story/lore

[acoustic osprey]

exactly

[hallow ruin]

yeah that must look as big as that image for the isle lolol

man, dondi might have done some bad decisions for the game gameplay wise or balance wise or blablabla

but his lore is top noch..

[bronze sinew]

fr. love the isle lore its unknow

[hallow ruin]

the mysteriousness of it is what makes it cool
and dondi knows that, i hope he doesnt give up on it one day

[bronze sinew]

fr feel like its is a little bit forgotten right now but i love it its so jurrasic park like LOVE IT. and all the strains and matriach and the skeleton on AE-1 is Matriach its SO COOL

[hallow ruin]

its awesome, and i do agree, THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!
i loved JP so much, and having the game i dreamed of (playing as a dino) WITH the best dino franchise in its style AND lore... THIS IS HEAVEN

[bronze sinew]

fr when i was little my DREAM was to find a dino survival game where u can be a dino and in 2016. i got that opportunity. and i used it. the good old days with lore and the unknow mysteries that scared the living soul out of me in the night ingame and the calls i was scared to play at night because of that. I WANNA GO BACK

[hallow ruin]

😔

words canno describe...

[bronze sinew]

fr

but u can in steam db go back

it would be funny to make a comunity server on progression or something

[hallow ruin]

you can bring back the places
who would bring back the people 😔

[bronze sinew]

fr

[hallow ruin]

and the feelings

[bronze sinew]

its the problem

[hallow ruin]

but actually? theres some project i know of that is doing that...

[bronze sinew]

but u couldt make a isle post about it

[bronze sinew]

which?

[hallow ruin]

its a bit complicated, would you like me to DM you about it?

[bronze sinew]

Sure but there is no one on i bet

and stil it would be fun bring like a 100 players and play the OLD ISLE

[hallow ruin]

man it'd be awesome 😔

[bronze sinew]

[hallow ruin]

[hallow ruin]

I can't believe Dexter Morgan would do something like this

<@&933486433342222376>

[crude tree]

The old v3 had it, with redwoods all around.

[crude tree]

Dondi, can you answer me something?

Was the AE-001 map from 2018 supposed to be a map or was it a test map? If it was going to be a map, was it supposed to be one part human and one part nature? Because I see that one side of the island had a lot of human constructions, while the other side had more GIANT CONSTRUCTIONS and a Hypo head, which I think was more for the MEME.

[reef canyon]

the approximate location of the Isle based on Star Maps captured in game

[hallow ruin]

LMAOW?!?!?!

it aint accurate at all using EVERYTHING ELSE from the stars

star HDRI is not specific and is just some marketplace assets

something YOU should look for mate is sun attitude

thats something they can change in-game to tell something
or weather, heat, plants, stuff like that
which all mostly been checked

[frozen totem]

wrong channel and probably a visual bug

[fallen estuary]

very lore related bro

[hexed forge]

Definitely lore related but the skybox is extremely likely to not be custom.

[acoustic osprey]

It was supposed to be a proper map

[acoustic osprey]

Who is this man

[hexed forge]

me I think

[acoustic osprey]

I think it was a deleted message

[hexed forge]

oh

[acoustic osprey]

yay

[acoustic osprey]

interesting, what references did you use for Gateway's stars?

Have you checked if they are the same stars on HT?
if you checked on main branch

[acoustic osprey]

but this is the thing^

the skybox and the stars themself have changed over the course of many years in Isle

so, definitely not 'super' reliable
albeit, quite neat

[hexed forge]

yup

[acoustic osprey]

in terms of that recent live stream

i didn't want to
because it was just going to be used as footage for the Water Tank video

but, i don't like pinging the people for live streams in lorecord because it isn't my server. If that makes sense.

just cause my streams aren't that amazing anyways no point forcing a ping for it

[acoustic osprey]

I want to get my AUGUSTUS video done in a month or two as well!!

i.e. a proper... actually lore analysis...

BUT at the same time. I want to try and spurt out smaller videos just so peoples who aren't in lore theories chronically dont have to be constantly engaged here to learn some niche lore stuff

[hexed forge]

yay

[acoustic osprey]

something to think on, especially with me and Hacker's lore convo we had on my stream yesterday

[hexed forge]

thanks but I think I was on JWE during that convo...

[acoustic osprey]

wow... 😔

[hexed forge]

What if YOU get on JWE right NOW

[acoustic osprey]

why can't you engage in every sappy lore conversation i have on stream, huh!!!!!!

[hexed forge]

I get lost quickly..

[acoustic osprey]

it is ok

this is why i never promote my streams... because i don't think i make sense half most the time

[acoustic osprey]

ah true

[lethal moat]

Is that tar tar sauce

[acoustic osprey]

it might just be...

[acoustic osprey]

i am having a hard time to respond to this now lol
trying to think back on how i should word this

I think there are two sides of the coin (in terms of 'mystery' in The Isle Lore, and lore in general for the direction of game lore)

This is all under the presumption that "X" Game/Stories' Lore is engaging and a creative idea that would and could bring people in

You have 1

the mysterious quantity

• There is a lacklustre amount of given lore/story/'pieces to the puzzle'
  Clearly the lore IS a very creative piece, so you are still engaged.
  Where the mysterious aspect is not via the game lore itself (or not the main part of it), but because there isn't much to go off from.
  Therefore, mystery is made via this 'minimal' amount of 'content'.
  -> Making the 'puzzle' (the questions of/from/in lore, etc) unsolved; of course, the puzzle doesn't need to be completely unsolved (that would be far too demanding), but it is still very empty.

Then you have 2

Which is the mysterious quality

• The content itself idealises within/uses a mysterious theme
  Where the game's idea of Lore is one that harnesses mysterious as a core component

This does not have to mean that it is the only component. Just that such a style is used a lot in the 'lore'

the point where we're at, with Evrima lore, is definitely a crossroad between the two

we lack 'a lot' of hard lore

i.e. we don't have a lot of physical pieces of lore, like ERRANT-291, AUGUSTUS, the file recovery video

[lethal moat]

More in game stuff por favor

[acoustic osprey]

therefore there is the mysterious quantity (1)

but at the same time, a lot of these pieces are also quite mysterious within themselves
which is the second, mysterious quality (2)

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/arthur-morgan-lego-but-you-said-you-knew-spanish-rdr2-red-dead-redemption-2-gif-1854740749547130541

Do you think that, though TS1, both combined greatly boosts this idea of mystery?

*potentially? *

[lethal moat]

I do think the limited amount that we’ve gotten currently does increase the suspense and increases curiosity

[acoustic osprey]

Albeit, i do believe that having more of the second 'mysterious quality' (2)
is far better than making lore documents that are there to explain everything

[acoustic osprey]

most certainly

[acoustic osprey]

of course... maybe we should get some stuff that isn't as mysterious

desensitization is real
if we did get A LOT of physical lore (in discord and/or in-game) and all of it is as mysterious as ERRANT-291
would we enjoy it all? Would it slowly get more annoying, having more questions pilled up on-top of each other

[lethal moat]

Knowing us, the entirety of lorecord would turn into gandalf surrounding himself with ancient texts looking for connections

[acoustic osprey]

thinking about this, doesn't surprise me that Don hasn't been pumping out lore things constantly

of course, i believe a main reason for that might be because he is the game director... per chance...

[acoustic osprey]

[lethal moat]

I wanna be flashbanged with enough that it’s like “alright, this is gonna take awhile”

[acoustic osprey]

i still wanna play caution, of course.
More than enough of similar things can be hurtful

It won't affect me, mostly. Because I am 'addicted' to it all
but in respects to/in the context of the 'common person'?

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/nightmare-before-christmas-jack-skellington-gif-19329701

[acoustic osprey]

i might be overthinking it a bit too much though, of course

i suppose i am a little bit worried that Don will always take the more mysterious route for everything

but, who cares! So long as it is good and Dondi is happy with it.

it would suck but honestly i wouldnt be entirely surprised

[acoustic osprey]

i don't know how that could be the case, to be fair
At least in terms of 'what we have' is still more than a year+ old

and we know Don has basically 'written' the lore (in Evrima) twice now

this second time, though, I'm not sure how much he has done. Besides 60+ page.

[quartz sundial]

ive never gotten deep into the lore much but is the lore hidden ingame somehow? like on signs and papers and labels

like, is that the source of most things here

[acoustic osprey]

🤏

most things is from either in-lore documents and videos
that aren't in-game

like AUGUSTUS, the Dibble TCAM video and ERRANT-291
a tiny bit is from in-game itself, from actual official models or worldbuilding
