But untill then.... 😔

acoustic osprey
#

I am 100% going to make such a mod, hopefully with the contributions of others
i am not very talented...

#

i know ts1 said he wanted to help!

nimble fractal
#

I have created a community map for PC:E map contest before (environmental and decoration design part), so I would be glad to help too

plush widget
#

uhm

nimble fractal
#

Lore must thrive...

#

Hi dilov we are creating lore

plush widget
#

you should actually test the server

#

or stress

That is fine I just want the same as you do 🙏

nimble fractal
#

Do you think we will ever see the official addition of The Reserve?

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

The image? Could you show it, please

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

Ah this!

acoustic osprey
#

Don comments:

Don — 07/01/2025 04:24
Not far off

...

I meant the paintjob of the Reserve.

#

not sure if, by 'paintjob', Don meant the outline of the The Reserve
or the actual general ideas of things

like a "Wall of Nope", commerical area and reserve area

nimble fractal
#

He meant the general idea

acoustic osprey
#

also i still find it funny how Don forgot he made that map outline TI_LUL

#

i presume he was mad tired when either making the artwork or replying to us

nimble fractal
#

Hahaha

acoustic osprey
# nimble fractal Hahaha

(because, at that time, it seems like he was REALLY into doing ||and ultimately finishing? Although, i suppose you never can|| the "timeline" document)

nimble fractal
#

Do you think the timeline document mentions the events that happened on V4?

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

As in, "some island existed before/along the gateway"

#

Basically a mention of other islands

acoustic osprey
#

honestly, having a mention of some of the old islands (although not having to confirm any of their lore explicitly) would be pretty cool

nimble fractal
#

We will definitely be able to find some documents that are extracts from Don's timeline document

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

Sooo excited for that

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

Basically it can answer 50% of the questions we currently have no answer to

nimble fractal
acoustic osprey
#

i presume maybe 80-100 pages now! That would be pretty cool

nimble fractal
#

I have a really STRONG feeling that the entire lore document will become a purchaseable merch at some point... 🙏

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

I mean not in "oh so let's show you all the cards" but in a mystical and secret way

acoustic osprey
#

as cool as that would be, i would preferably like to find them in-game 😔

nimble fractal
#

Maybe even an addition to in-game lore

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

Yeah!

#

Hmm.. I have said that, humans will probably appear this year.....
I am still keeping my word

acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

Even with all the HT issues, it should not take that long

plush widget
nimble fractal
#

Especially after we've been told that they will be shadowdropped (first step - tested by devs), so we will hear the gunshots and explosions all over the island as humans arrive unexpectedly

nimble fractal
plush widget
nimble fractal
#

Yeah

plush widget
#

At least that's what I remember

#

So that means after elders

nimble fractal
#

Now I remember yea

#

As we've seen, elders are not THAT far off

plush widget
#

Meh

#

I'd say 5 months

nimble fractal
#

However, it can only be the models/animations

#

And the entire elder system being raw as turkey meat

#

We'll never know

plush widget
#

I really think

#

They should have added allo kentro bary austro

#

The elder system

nimble fractal
#

I think elders will come after these 4

plush widget
#

And then work on rex and trike

acoustic osprey
plush widget
#

The duo has just exhausted the Devs

nimble fractal
#

It's only that time when Legacy will be deleted

plush widget
acoustic osprey
nimble fractal
#

As we basically had humans in Legacy

#

But I think we are still 1 year off from gen 1 and 2 years off from Strains, which I am most excited for

plush widget
nimble fractal
#

Minimum I'd say

#

I do hope it will be earlier than that, but it's a complicated mechanic/system that really needs to take time

#

So we might actually need to wait 2 years BEFORE developers can even begin a proper work on them

plush widget
#

3 years

#

And they start working on them

nimble fractal
#

3 years...

#

We might get the first in-game iteration of that system in that time

nimble fractal
#

Which is what is probably gonna happen soon

#

Seeing how the current HT went, and how long it takes to develop new creatures

#

It might actually be a better choice to change the direction into the game core/lore development and all the scary stuff
I am not a developer though, just my thoughts

#

I am fine with whatever direction we go 🙏 as we are here only to observe and consume

plush widget
nimble fractal
#

Lore in music...

#

So if I'm right, this track currently doesn't play anywhere in the game

image.png
#

But what is considered to be a safe zone and where?

plush widget
#

Maybe sanctuary

#

Or a repaired human base

nimble fractal
#

Sanctuary doesn't sound safe

#

A repaired human base? Probably

#

But still, it's never safe on The Island

plush widget
#

Safest you'll get

#

Lol

#

Would Tartarus be safe

nimble fractal
#

No.......

plush widget
#

So Tartarus is where all the failed stuff goes?

nimble fractal
#

Yeah, kind of

#

I would say it is the place where the worst of the worst are kept alive

plush widget
#

Jw rebirth reference

#

So it most likely is an island

#

Not a facility

nimble fractal
#

Underground facility is my best bet

#

As it's name literally means "hell"

plush widget
#

True that

nimble fractal
#

A domain of the god of hell and underground stuff

plush widget
#

Do you believe it is on gateway

nimble fractal
#

Yeah

plush widget
#

Do you think we will see it in game

nimble fractal
#

Yes

#

But the entrance to it...

#

I think we will be able to enter it after passing the G.U.T.S. security system

#

Or something like that

#

So probably it will only be humans that can unlock this place

plush widget
#

Mhm

nimble fractal
#

But why to descend there..

#

Probably out of curiousity

plush widget
#

To transfer dinosaurs there

#

Would that even be possible

nimble fractal
#

Ah, I wish the "catch and transportation" system will make it's way in-game

plush widget
#

The cages all around the map suggest u will be able to catch them atleast

nimble fractal
#

Yeah

plush widget
#

We've seen concepts of cage - vehicles entering the domes

#

Wouldn't be enjoyable for the dinosaurs tho

nimble fractal
#

I DO wish we get something like modern games do
Like, humans get an objective "catch x dinosaur and bring it to the heavy helicopter for transportation outside the island"
Or "get the genome of x dinosaur (can kill the dinosaur after extracting)"

nimble fractal
#

Isn't it fun?

plush widget
#

For me at least, the Dino lovers that don't care about the lore wouldn't fancy an interaction with humans

#

In which they are almost unable to do anything

#

But I also believe that this wouldn't stop dondi from introducing such objectives and systems

nimble fractal
#

For the people who don't like it

nimble fractal
plush widget
#

Oh the potential

#

This is getting me hyped

nimble fractal
#

Imagine the daily global tasks..... "get a tyrannosaur genome"...

You pack a team/meet with randoms on the island, loot the island, get the gear while defending from the critters and raptors. With only half a team left, you finally track that rex down. In a vicious fight, he kills almost everyone, but you manage to tranquilize it. And the minute after you extract the genome, he wakes up and you barely make it out on your jeep

#

It's hands down peak gameplay 🙏

plush widget
#

Imagine finding a rex nest

nimble fractal
#

OUGH

plush widget
#

AAAAAHHHHHHH

#

Aslong as everything stays lookin good, they dropping trike today

#

Dondi himself told me

#

Maybe he didnt but, j believe….

#

Oh crap wrong chat my bad

Yeah it was…

hallow ruin
#

is this top of the tunnel?

#

ive never seen it this clear thought it was lower

patent ginkgo

Yeah that’s the ridge on the northern edge of swamp

acoustic osprey
#

yes
but it does look a bit weird

might just be your rendering

hallow ruin

#

lol

acoustic osprey
#

welp, if update today (presuming just trike)
might have to do a little exploring

presuming map will be the same
but why not exhaust yourself anyways to get it out of yah system 💪

Replay Filter HAS camera sway
oh this is real nice

#

this is for admin as well
which might be why this stuff wasn't working
Or they put this in for this update

either way, whoever did this. Raise!
It is sick

#

Only issue is that no GW_F5...

#

more so
no trailcam stuff, was is a bit of a shame

still really hope we can 'easily' replicate the TCAM and MCAM 'effect/overlay'

#

although, pretty easy to do.
Would be neat

#

however, no Hub it seems
tried going around on the official servers

wasn't able to find them, but too many crashes on officials lol (atm)

#

so fingers are crossed for the volcano Hub with or during Rex 🤞

with the exception of that river connecting the two places

#

it'd be pretty nice though, to see debris from the redwoods flow down from the dome and end up in and around the SP river

#

Or maybe the some of the redwood forest plants have escaped the dome, and can be found in surrounding areas

Finally, the HT is over 🙏

Not an Isle stream

we're getting hyped over loading screens we've seen basically a mirror image of now? 😭

#

whats new ig

acoustic osprey
#

although, it is less so the design (albeit, good to see it finalised)
more so that Dondi is using it, which is most certainly a good sign

seems like it'll connect to a GUTS tunnel, which is neat

#

a real unique entrance

frozen totem
#

oh thats in replay

#

explains it

#

but yeah it leads to a whole long section of GUTS

#

sidenote: I had no Idea we had a usable guts tunnel to the docks

acoustic osprey
#

semi-usable
but it is more expanded, ye

frozen totem
#

no you can straight up go from point a to point b

acoustic osprey
#

oh you talking about the radio tower one
sure

frozen totem
#

yes

#

and it has the little middle section too

acoustic osprey
#

i just wouldn't really call it proper GUTS
because, atm, it is very linear

acoustic osprey
#

well, new in the HT

frozen totem
#

and said middle section makes me think it WILL connect to the proper guts

acoustic osprey
#

that's why i am 50/50 on saying it is a proper GUTS tunnel atm

#

until then that is

#

but, i suppose that is coming to presumption on what I believe/want from GUTS

#

when, truly, we don't really understand (properly) want is the true intended GUTS

If perimeter doesn’t have clear panels how are the plants supposed to get sunlight?

#

Ae just gonna have a bunch of lights?

patent ginkgo
#

The panels may be darkened just because it isn’t a finished building, but also to reduce the strength of the tropical sunlight to more acceptable levels for redwoods

#

Redwoods typically live in areas that get daily fog, so a lower light level might not be so bad for them

nimble fractal

It had transparent panels at some point

some sort of workers' abodes

I just specifically want an above ground one, as I could totally see underground "apartments" of sorts being a thing

in GUTS

perhaps

although I was thinking something closer to a rec center

Anyone have the name and/or concepts of the Isle concept creature that would start out like Pteranodon sized and sucking blood and evolves all the way to like ginormous ocean predator?

#

Thank you both!!

acoustic osprey
#

acoustic osprey
#

although, i am going off a bit of headcanon
because i really want to see some of the lvl 1 rooms of LAB IX

acoustic osprey
#

which just seems a bit weird for a "LAB"
Of course, i haven't actually bean to a lab in a while - although i should, my Mum works in one.

#

So i don't actually know if it is customary to have a whole kitchen section

#

alas, we do see a cafeteria (ish) section in LAB IX - so i am not surprised that there is a kitchen

#

hence why i could imagine a modular section nearby or connected to LAB IX with a little (underground, presuming. Since this is still part of GUTS) village

acoustic osprey
#

not sure of the official name of those
I suppose fridges work (just unsure if they're for keeping the food warm or cold)

#

thinking back at this though

#

this section being just outside of LAB IX (behind the 'entrance')

#

it looks like the sink model we have

#

although, the facade of it looks weird

#

honestly, though, thinking about it.
it might just be 'outside' the prefab (LAB IX) on the VisualTech testlevel

On today's topic
Do you think humans will have nutrient/diet mechanic aswell? And how important it will be

lethal moat
#

Eh, nah

nimble fractal
#

Elaborate

#

Because I think humans might have a similar mechanic

lethal moat
#

I think there might be a cooking mechanic to not get debuffs, but I don’t think humans will get diet managmemt

nimble fractal
#

Hmm

#

Food poisoning will be there for sure...

#

A cure for troodon venom?

#

Do you think we will be able to create compounds to then be injected into the caught dinosaurs?

#

And to observe the effect
As in doing some lab stuff I mean

#

Daily quests as humans....

lethal moat
#

Lab stuff I think so, catching dinosaurs, I doubt it, quests are a no

e175987fcf2619c316d35f5212099425922a5a0b.png
#

maybe for on the go stuff? Maybe for Gen2s? HOWEVER they may be used for work, if at all
(need more info...)

frozen totem
#

I think AE probably used actual human workers for most things

#

maybe gen2 for field usage though?

#

since they have better endurance incase they need to run

acoustic osprey
#

we were given the impression Gen2s could be workers, via Don some time after the Dibble TCAM vid came out due to the Gen2 model being in it

#

but yeah, to what extent

#

||however, getting written lore on Gen2s would always be a lot more defined and helpful||

frozen totem
#

mhm

acoustic osprey
#

and knowing that the timeline doc is, exists, hopefully that means stronger continuity and faith in those lore things not changing from now on

frozen totem
#

chances are, actually, gen2s are EIPs of real humans

#

idk why i didnt think of this already

acoustic osprey
#

i wouldn't be surprised

#

bit of a Mickey 17 situation, i suppose

frozen totem
#

mhm

#

honestly I'd see the EIPs don confirmed being more centered around gen2 than the dinosaurs

#

I mean, why exactly would you want to be in the body of a dinosaur fighting for your life?

acoustic osprey
#

yeah
we don't need Evrima lore to have to match up with in-game stuff
as in, we don't need meta lore

frozen totem
#

mhm

#

ive said "mhm" like 3 times already

acoustic osprey
#

lol

#

my favourite word for that relates to this idea of 'lore = gameplay' is "ludonarrative"

#

how the intersection of narrative and gameplay intersect with each other

#

Don tried to justify everything in-game with lore (and vice versa)

which shows A LOT of dedication
but

#

it isn't necessary, truly, even as good as it was,
though I congratulate him with how far it was able to be done - intentional or otherwise

#

Yeah

rare sedge
hallow ruin
stone gyro
#

any ideas why this place's abandoned? why'd Apollo leave Gateway?

patent ginkgo
#

the short answer is "we dunno really"

#

so far we believe AE's retreat to be related to what we call "the incident"

#

which is an event or series of events/time period where something went wrong, but we dont know how exactly

#

obviously there are some storytelling aspects to the environment that can give us hints (like unnaturally destroyed parts of fences and structures) but we dont know any details

lethal moat
patent ginkgo
#

as well as how a bunch of stuff is just... laying around

#

but i dont know how much of that is from the incident or really part of the cause for the island's abandonment

#

lots of that couldve happened before and never been fixed or have happened afterwards

frozen totem
lethal moat
frozen totem
#

intentional by AE or a rival?

#

because, just coming from a financial standpoint, it makes 0 sense for a company to destroy one of it's own major facilities

lethal moat
#

Destroy and abandon aren’t the same, though even if it isn’t intentional, AE can probably spin it some way to benefit the company

frozen totem
#

still seems unlikely

hallow rover
#

Before I read into the lore a little deeper I always thought that something so bad happened that they considered leaving the islands infrastructure as a necessary sacrifice and instead use the gen 2s as a sort of skeleton crew

#

What I always wanted to know was how did AE shield its operations from governments/other authorities. Surely some satellite would of seen the Perimeter and other infrastructure at some point and got people wondering "Hey I wonder what that thing is?"

acoustic osprey
#

at least, right now
it doesn't seem like it would be worth abandoning Gateway

there is damage, yeah. But nothing you couldn't come back to

#

although we know, iirc, AE had been attacked by peoples/groups
hence Gen1s
where we know things like TOMB being attacked

#

knowing as Don said it was eradicated

#

unless Tomb was intentionally eradicated? Which seems like a no
since this #isle-lore-theories message

Therefore, it seems 'rival companies ||or individuals/smaller groups|| eradicated TOMB' is the outcome

muted reef
#

If they really wanted to abandon gateway they could've just...pulled an ingen from the novels

hallow ruin
hallow ruin
# patent ginkgo which is an event or series of events/time period where something went wrong, bu...

u saying time period made me think of timeline...

what if in the original timeline AE got "The Incident" and closed and maybe got destroyed in a rival corp fight (old logo AE, also 94-99 one)
but AE originally thought of, and succeeded in other timelines to make a machine that can switch between universes (like rick and morty) that made the successful AE in other timeline to travel (in current time period) to another universe where AE failed, (hence the futuristic AE logo) and there might be a major reason for their come back

#

i love how i can come up with completely off track theories that u still cant say is 100% a myth

At this point I'd rather believe into aliens theory than that one

Title: “The Isle of Soprano” (Discord-Safe Edition)

Tony Soprano had seen a lot in his day—whackings, wiretaps, even his nephew’s screenplay—but nothing prepared him for the mess that was game development.

It all started when A.J. brought home a new Steam game called The Isle.

“It’s like, dinosaurs, Dad,” A.J. said between gulps of Mountain Dew. “But it’s brutal. You spawn, starve, die—sometimes from thirst. It's a metaphor, I think.”

Tony wasn’t sure about metaphors, but he was sure he liked dinosaurs. Big, scary, toothy bastards? Fuggedaboudit. So he tried it.

Three hours later, after dying of dehydration as a baby Stegosaurus in the same patch of grass ten times in a row, Tony slammed his keyboard.

“Who the f#@k made this game?!”

Enter Dondi.

Tony called a sit-down. Not with the five families—but with Dondi.

They met in a Jersey diner. Dondi wore a black hoodie and sunglasses inside. Tony wore a tracksuit and suspicion.

“So lemme get this straight,” Tony said, biting into a sausage sandwich, “you got thousands of kids playin’ this game, dying in the mud, and you ain't even finished it?”

“It’s early access,” Dondi said, sipping his espresso like a Bond villain. “Vision takes time. Art takes sacrifice.”

“So does runnin’ a crew,” Tony snapped. “But when I promise someone a GTR, I don’t give ‘em a fr!ggin’ tricycle.”

Dondi raised an eyebrow.

“Look, it’s not that simple—there’s AI, migration systems, complex networking, dinosaur balancing—”

Tony held up a finger.

“Balancing? My fat a$$ got yeeted off a cl!ff by a Tenonto. Twice.”
#

Later that week, Paulie and Silvio launched "Operation Dino." They showed up at the dev studio.

“Alright fellas,” Silvio said, waving a copy of Dino Crisis 2, “this is how you make a dinosaur game. Capisce?”

Meanwhile, Paulie kept muttering, “What the h#ll’s an Evrima? Sounds like a new strain of COVID.”

They made Dondi an offer: Tony would bankroll development, but only if:

The T-Rex wore a gold chain.

The map included a strip club called The Prehistoric Bing.

All baby dinos had to pass a licensed Gabayool check before growing up.

In the end, The Isle: Soprano Edition launched. It was a mess—half the servers were down, and every time you logged in, you heard Tony’s voice yell:

“You come into my swamp without a herd? That’s a death sentence, kid.”

But it sold a million copies.

Dondi got rich.

Tony finally got to be the apex predator.

And A.J. got banned for team-killing and calling someone a "f@ke raptor main."

Moral of the story: Never trust a guy who says “early access” like it’s a personality trait.

Or a guy in a tracksuit who wants to “invest” in your dinosaur game.

The physical part of what you would expect to be the Replicator has a decided physical form, yes. It probably wouldn't be seen. But it's in notes. It has a concept that's been made.
It has no place in the game islands.

Just thinking about this

#

i wonder what counts as 'the physical form'

#

would you include the sub-systems like TOMB?

#

if so, would that therefore mean TOMB is not on Gateway?

#

i suppose it really depends on the context

nimble fractal
#

I see TOMB being a facility full of servers from which most of the island is operated
It also contains all input and output information

My theory is that the Isles spino is super genetically modified to the point of them having behavioural issues and having tons of cancerous issues leading them to be territorial and aggressive while having having a shortish lifespan compared to other species

#

Better theory, spinos sucks amd i dont like it

#

Evidence: i said so

hexed forge
#

Jokes aside,
I do feel like Spino will have some interesting Lore

balmy canopy

balmy canopy
# fast forge tbh this just sounds like a headcanon

Maybe but it’s a theory based on how different the spino is. For Spino to be this different, there must have been heavy genetic changes which must have some side effects I’d assume. My theory may not have a lot of evidence but I’m going off with what I got

balmy canopy
acoustic osprey
#

Don seems to want more unique behavioural traits for each species
especially evident in the glance sheets

#

so we'll likely see stuff on Spino lore once its glance sheets is made (if Spino will get one)

hexed forge
#

Yeah

#

Surprised Trike didn't get one.... but it'll probably come with the GUTS Hubs I guess...

acoustic osprey
#

i mean
going off the old Don quote

i didn't expect one to be fair...

#

however, am hoping we get some of them soon once
it'll likely be during Rex HT or once Rex is out

THAT IS
presuming the Volcano Hub is done

#

which hopefully is the prerequisite Don was talking about

#

it has been some time though, so can't rely on it though...

hexed forge
#

yeah..

but it's not like they can just drop the entire map all as one big update, they gotta break things up

#

I mean, your fences are cleaned up, right? it was just a few months

So then why not drop the entire monorail system?
Just make them go into cliffs, let them phase through trees, whats the problem, its just temporary right? TI_Derp

hexed forge

acoustic osprey

acoustic osprey
#

might be the case with the Hub though

#

instead of putting it in like how it was in HT

#

they removed it
likely till it they complexify the tunnels systems a bit more, it seems

hexed forge
acoustic osprey
#

because the hub itself was done, visually

hexed forge
#

Thanks

acoustic osprey
#

why

hexed forge
#

You're Welcome!

acoustic osprey
hexed forge
#

I think they're waiting to connect all the entrances(3) at Volcano to release it.

#

And then expand on it, adding more levels, and perhaps connecting to the Eastern Docks

acoustic osprey
#

to be fair, i was expecting GUTS to be a bit more spaghetti-like

#

although we've only seen two basic tunnels atm

#

so it could be needing quality checks (volcano hub)

hexed forge
#

Yeah I think they are making the tunnels more complex

acoustic osprey
#

hopefully

grand sigil
#

Friendly reminder: Fuzzy's volcano theory

grand sigil
#

We've seen, like, entry points

#

That only go a little ways in

#

In fact I don't really personally see any of the tunnels currently on the map as GUTS

#

But rather tunnels that lead or connect to it

hexed forge
grand sigil
#

Brb

grand sigil
# hexed forge What is it? I forgot

I'm too lazy to find my original post which was worded much better, but basically, shortest version possible: My volcano theory is that AE manually triggers volcanism as part of a global cooling plan

#

Hence volcano base

acoustic osprey
grand sigil
#

I think volcano hub would be its own thing

#

But connected to GUTS

#

Obviously

#

Because GUTS is the system between facilities

hexed forge
grand sigil
#

Yeah but creating islands is the less likely part of my theory
But also my favorite part

#

Because I'm fairly certain multiple maps in legacy lore were meant to be manmade

#

I'mma get a picture of young rocks

#

Basically new terrain is very jagged

#

Then it smooths out

#

And I remember some legacy maps feeling like that

#

And legacy lore had a longer time scale so it would fit

acoustic osprey

How have I never seen that post

Woohoo

hexed forge
acoustic osprey
#

something i was thinking about (from lorecord)
if it makes any sense

#

with partially unknown, you could also say "Open-Ended Lore"
where there is still a core element of theory being used to glue things together

(I have already answered this in Lorecord)

acoustic osprey

guh

hexed forge
#

im sorry....

hexed forge
acoustic osprey
low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

i say this because
I think i prefer the game not trying to confirm everything for us

realistically, more akin to what the original FNAF game does
giving us the clues, evidence and ideas
then allowing us to make the timeline off from there

#

cause, on one side
I would LOVE to see Don's timeline document

but on the other
Should we have that? To have it all?

#

for me, i think it would ruin the proper mystery-embedded in isles lore since legacy

#

but, i understand wanting to have the main things properly given

#

however, i don't mean we don't get evidence for 'the final puzzle' piece though

#

if that makes sense?

low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

hope that makes sense

low scarab
#

I just think the lore should tell a story of sorts and a story needs a good end and fulfilled plot however a story is better when there’s a little bit left to have conversation about

low scarab
acoustic osprey
low scarab
#

It never hurts to leave a little room so you can build off the story into maybe a spinoff

acoustic osprey
#

i don't mean we're in the open end of everything

#

more so that we can never know The timeline to the fullest extent (for the 'partially unknown option')

low scarab
# acoustic osprey *if that makes sense?*

Think of it like rdr2 if your familiar with the story
We get most the answers we find out who’s the rat etc etc we know the ins and outs of almost all the characters but there’s still room to discuss characters like Dutch like if he was really evil all along or if smth happened along the way pretty simple thought but gets the idea across

#

And spoilers I guess

low scarab
#

I mean a near completed story with a few open areas for smaller discussion nothing large

low scarab
#

I still lean towards being able to figure out the entire timeline although like I said before some small open ended topics only contribute to the longevity of it ig

acoustic osprey
acoustic osprey
# low scarab I still lean towards being able to figure out the entire timeline although like ...

the thing is, my question is how we figure out the entire timeline
because i do agree/see your RDR2 point — but the storytelling is completely different, that it would be hard to replicate so therefore a bit hard to compare imo — the only thing is that one of the points is 'using theories via lore extracts (evidence) to properly connect the pieces in correctly' (such a pieced timeline never being fully confirmed by the game; i.e. the game isn't telling you that you pieced the pieces right, etc) versus the other which says 'the game is telling you the timeline explicitly' (one way of doing it being likely done by Don just splitting his timeline into several pieces then hiding it around the map / websites / videos etc)

#

with RDR2
its storytelling elements derrive from first person linear (although, still openworld. So a tiny bit non-linear. But still pretty linear) storytelling
Versus something like The Isle, which cannot set itself within such a font. Therefore its lore has to be scattered non-linearly around several maps, mediums etc

i.e. very ARG-esque with The Isle, unlike what RDR2 is able to do

low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

yeah

low scarab
#

Although I do recognize how difficult accomplishing this in a feasible way gets complicated and takes serious effort

acoustic osprey
#

i think the poll question really join boils down to

would you want us to try and solve the timeline
or us to be given the timeline

honestly, i think that is a better version of the original question

acoustic osprey
low scarab
#

So idk it’s a little much for my tired brain atm but I think proper story telling would be done mostly by in universe themed hints I guess

acoustic osprey
#

stuff like the Lore Hunt, i imagine, would be terribly hard to do
especially once you start to complicate it

#

seeing as it was supposed to be a test, per se

acoustic osprey
#

of course

low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

nothing is ever linear / binary

low scarab
#

We want the ideas and pieces don normally tells us in this discord to be communicated through in game items or similar

acoustic osprey
acoustic osprey
low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

we're definitely at a point to say
Don doesn't need to give us that soft lore stuff anymore, as the game is practically ready (in our point of view at least) to try and do its best in communicate "lore"

acoustic osprey
low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

for me, the mystery that i refer to is the ability to properly theorise
instead of the mystery that we just have nothing on our table, so we're squeezing as much as we can from as little that we have

low scarab
acoustic osprey
#

which is something i actually talked about a few weeks ago when Ts1 brought it up

#

(the idea of the two kinds of mystery that we can/do have in The Isle)

# low scarab Gets even more complicated when you begin to factor in the actual state of the v...

yeah
however, for me, it really seems like we're at the tail end
the main playables are in (Rex is almost in)
The main end of the gameplay loop is almost in (Elders)

for me, I think after these are in (give or take, including UI overhaul) we're really in a period where the devs should put priority into Gen2s
that is just my personal opinion. Hopefully that includes slotting in more priority for lore storytelling in-game
as much as i like seeing lore in P3 and the youtube, I am curious if Don wants more stuff 'in-game' — or if it'd be just papers hidden in "X" area, etc

acoustic osprey
# low scarab Well I mean with that I more or less agree?

What i mean is that I believe we're in a proper drought of lore, and we have always been with Evrima
But, therefore,

there is a mystery brought about from this, because we lack so much
Where a mystery is made via a 'minimal' amount of 'content'

versus mystery as a main theme as part of the lore

#

where this mystery theme allows us to theorise the timeline
instead of the game telling us

low scarab
# acoustic osprey just being able to properly piece up a timeline is and will be certainly a good ...

Yea of course and with that I honestly have no doubt don is excited to get at again but that’s just one bullet you have to bite when building a more complex (I guess) game you’ve got a lot of other things on your head you gotta balance and dons a human he’s got things outside of the isle he’s got the various other topics between actually designing the game running a brand and on top of all that designing and entertaining way to sequence lore for all of us it’s just one thing at a time

acoustic osprey
#

#isle-lore-theories message
which is what i suppose you're getting at here
was just curious, more so, on your opinion/definition of mystery in this context

acoustic osprey
low scarab
low scarab
#

I mean obviously we will probably get some form of what we are looking for but in its current state we will be in a drought of lore until dondi really is ready to kick it off

#

After all it’s his game he knows what he wants to do with it

acoustic osprey

Like I want there to be some intrigue where we can discuss something minute that doesn’t effect the overall world building or direction if someone writes a complete story it’s there for us to actually know all aspects of that story but it’s more entertaining if we have a little bit of wiggle room I guess to slot in some minor ideas here and there I still wish we truly understand the whole basis of the lore

acoustic osprey
#

a bit like ERRANT-291?

#

albeit, though, I do believe the subtext of that piece is relatively hefty to the worldbuilding

#

in contrast to the character himself, which we know will just be (like many others) a one time thing - minute

low scarab
acoustic osprey
low scarab
#

But yea we can’t expect perfection just kind of accept it’s a developing game

acoustic osprey

exactly

#

acoustic osprey
#

still thinking if we should try and get an interview with Don for the lore podcast

low scarab
#

That would be awesome but no shot

acoustic osprey
#

probably not
but if we do. I think i need to get all of us to build tons of questions

but even then, i think we're still a bit too early to be having a long QnA (in terms of lore)

acoustic osprey
low scarab
#

Oh yea we should definitely try to prepare a lot of questions pull everybody together etc etc

#

But yes we are early into the grand scheme of things even if it really feels like forever

acoustic osprey
low scarab
#

Heck yea

#

Nah it would be super cool but it’s just something don would obviously need to be on board for

acoustic osprey
#

i could probably yap until the end of the world about isle lore on a podcast... so having dedicated questions is definitely a better way lol

acoustic osprey
#

i think the general idea of it is for the 10th anniversary of Isle
as a proper Lore QnA for the podcast

and then a summary video on my Channel

How does Gateway generate it's power? I would assume they use a nuclear reactor somewhere underground because there is no visible power plant on the island. Also there doesn't seem to be any vents for generator exhaust coming from the ground so that rules out generators. The water access dam could serve as a hydro plant but the flowrate is too low for generating enough power for large structures (aviaries, etc.). Also the volcano doesn't seem active enough for geothermal power. So the only logical solution would be an underground nuclear reactor. Also they seem to transport the electricity between ranger stations via electricity lines in the ground because I would assume that any overground electricity lines would be devoured by a DUI carno or some pteras. Lmk if you think otherwise or something.

Redwood origin theory

Redwoods were brought to the island as small saplings and using the H-strain the AE managed to boost the plant's growth so they all grew in no-time

Except they also do....whatever it is on concept art
So it turns out that all sequoias might be genetically modified strains
Probably with some exceptions of little sapplings left in the lab to compare the growth speed

Not the prettiest as both photos are different sizes but I think the general idea is there

I needed to take insperation from VHS right?
but at the same time the isle is set in the 2170s
i dont think they use vhs at that age bro

@fallen estuary said this regarding a TrailCam fan-made video for lore we're making

but this actual made me question... is it?

@acoustic osprey what do you think abt what i said here.. does this actually build up with the new isle logo

convincing but im still not convinced
you are aware we play in current time
and augustus was in 94-99 possibly
BUT
the dibble vid was different? also the time period was actually current time judging but the "community event"

#

is the game gonna be like RDR1/2

where theres some conflict and connection between two time periods

#

by that i mean, augustus was actually in 90s
dibble was in 2170s

hence maybe the few subtle differences in AEs system or naming or coordination

#

knowing WE are the search team.... its surely in X (current ) time
whether its 2170s or not

#

thats cool

#

this explains the 2 logos

#

and explains the delusionality of the lore to some degree

#

i know isaac mentioned it in the water tanks logo

#

but this is a new observation... all of these clues building up within 1 year period lowkey gives me the sense its real

potentially canon

#

it is fair to assess the UI intentions to be, give or take, canon

#

rather than the content given

#

knowing somebody had to pt that in manually means it was considered, yeah

#

IF they wanted it not cannon
they could've blacked it out yk

#

so, clearly some of the old ideas for Gateway MUST'VE actually made their way into 'modern' Gateway over time

#

guh, this area
makes me remember when Don first teased at something at this bay that STers would be able to try

sad that we didn't see it

Hopefully everything is arranged and such. Had to render it in pieces and one tried to escape...the time adds up, so everything should be there, but the order......hopefully it's okay.

Amarok's didn't really have anything of note, but I might scrounge something up for it. The other Dondi stream started as I was working on this one laugh. Visual...
