or if you interact with 'lore' - like a document or something
you get the mutation allowed

[merry zodiac]

like gen 4 mutation only on specifically like herrera omni troo idk

[acoustic osprey]

mmm

[merry zodiac]

thats also cool

[acoustic osprey]

quite so

will be all interesting to see what Don plans

[fierce cradle]

I can see some " IT WILL NEVER END " type of messages in the death screen

[late helm]

But Matriarch can adapt to anything

[merry zodiac]

Yeah… well not to death… the ark giga is around 300 tons in weight and 14 meters tall. It’d just crush matriarch in any of the stages when its on land

Its 3x taller than the matriarch in rex stage

[valid geyser]

Hey now
Can’t always trust ark logic
I’ve killed a giga with an argy

[merry zodiac]

Yeah, i’m just basing it on size

[valid geyser]

True, also I don’t know if we’re positive how many stages it has, or if it actually looks like those drawn

Unless those too became canon when Tap joined the dev team

[fast forge]

You saw Iron Lung? How was it?

[rustic urchin]

I don’t think we really know what extent and how fast it adapts. It seems likely it’s more something like The Thing, where it absorbs biomass from other things and can take on traits. I don’t think it’s like shin Godzilla where after being exposed to a threat it can adapt to survive it within hours/days

And most definitely not like DC Doomsday, where if something kills it, it just comes back immune to that

So if anything can just kill it before it transforms, it’s probably still dead. If it gets away heavily injured it can likely quickly recover though

Since tissos and matriarch are connected and both seem related to some form of advanced cell growth and body adaptation

[ornate comet]

Someone’s gonna port ark models into the game when modding is in…

[formal mural]

@regal horizon

[regal horizon]

yooooooooooooooo

startin a new mc server btw if you want to join Daviid

[formal mural]

Say lesss

[merry zodiac]

We don’t even know if it has stages, it might just grow like a regular rex or a hypo rex just bigger

[acoustic osprey]

Great

[acoustic osprey]

tapwing fan canon has the idea of stages

[acoustic osprey]

realistically, to what we know with Evrima
It seems to be a bit less then immediate adaption

from what we know, it must consume first to gain whatever attribute

but, like a lot of cool things in isle Lore
i just wish to have some proper lore on it

-# and not just comments from Dondi, as cool as his cryptic comments are

something loreish like that would be fitting

City business

Which building is the hospital?

[warm oak]

im gonna guess the one on the very left

[slate pewter]

Make sense because of the ambulance garages

[acoustic osprey]

(albeit, this is just a layout showing every building we have at the moment. Not a scientist village yet)

[acoustic osprey]

exactly!

[acoustic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/38c295a00d07ee6f4fb3b06cf5d1a088
this one

has the operating room!

[slate pewter]

I understand

[slate pewter]

Or this means the Hospital has multiple satellite buildings

[acoustic osprey]

ye

there once was a scientist village on an old old map

[acoustic osprey]

i wouldn't be surprised if we'd get a proper hospital building

[slate pewter]

For me "ye" doesn't mean "yes"
It means "you"

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/scotland-forever-gif-1469023208301646087

[slate pewter]

Well I hope we get asphalt roads as well

[acoustic osprey]

that building (from reply) has this operational room

[slate pewter]

That run-through the map connecting interesting places

[acoustic osprey]

agreed!

[acoustic osprey]

double agree
I want cool roads that connect the map up a bit

[slate pewter]

Asphalt roads seen by animals as basically rivers.

They hesitate to cross them and once they do there's a chance they get ran over

[acoustic osprey]

the isle roadkill document

[slate pewter]

Roadkill Dryo

[slate pewter]

Aye ye ken

But

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[slate pewter]

Asphalt roads in the Isle running through dense forests would be a straight cut in the vegetation.

This means you can look far away into the distance and see who tries to cross it.

As a Carno asphalt roads would be my lore friendly hunting grounds

[slate pewter]

If it can be part of the lore.
Then so be it.
Some funny accident report of a trucker would be entertaining

I miss environmental world building.
Imagine an abushed Æ vehicle convoy on such asphalt roads

Far away in the middle of the forest

With vehicles wrecks and some lore.

Or if you could find overgrown vehicle wrecks along dirt paths that has tyre marks in the mud

Mood

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

[acoustic osprey]

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
slowly getting there

[fierce cradle]

Maybe if we search a bit deep maybe we can find some notes about the strains or the matriarch or the hypos or the cannibals or the island walkers or maybe about human gen 1 , gen 2

And I hope they will bring tartarus now

[clever veldt]

Can i ask if theres gonna be any human update or when will human be avalaible again ? its gone since the new patch

[civic pollen]

no eta's unfortunately!

Do you guys have any theories on what are the new idle animations we've been shown?

I think one of the austro's will play when he's envenomated, the one where it looks paranoid

But idk abt the camara one

[acoustic osprey]

the lore is strong in this one

[acoustic osprey]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1096791218895192166/1113932017445371985/Untitled-2-1.gif

[tawny axle]

It could be checking if someone is actually dead, similar to what we saw that trike doing with the dibble in the last file recovery video

[hollow marten]

hypo comback?

[acoustic osprey]

ironic that your name is Hades lol

[hollow marten]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

Hades being/was the name of the Hyper Carno(s) in legacy lore

[hollow marten]

i depise base carnos in game i play omni

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[hollow marten]

if the hypo carno comes back, wouldnt that mean more hypo will too like hypo rex,giga and omni (utah)

[acoustic osprey]

we have, at least, one other confirmed Hyperendocrin
so we might see more in the future soon 👀

[hollow marten]

im also thinking that the neuro spino might make a comeback

along with more lore about apollo

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-you-can-say-that-again-porous-pockets-season-6-gif-5171033508265478170

[hollow marten]

also how come the island has no humans around eventhough Apollo most probably watches the dinos surely there must be some level of interaction (im talking about in lore not gameplay)

[gaunt dawn]

Is this hyper carno animation new

[acoustic osprey]

yes

[hollow marten]

^^

[gaunt dawn]

[hollow marten]

its at the bottom of the newest dev blog

[gaunt dawn]

Honestly…i think i skipped the animations

I just read

Oh wait theres a “show more” button at the bottom

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[gaunt dawn]

I didnt see that

[gaunt dawn]

Dont laugh at me

[acoustic osprey]

sorry

[gaunt dawn]

[west sinew]

when it comes to the whole welcome islander thing

how do i actually stay in the screen before loading into the game

[formal mural]

Yes

[acoustic osprey]

luck and hope

i find the best way to get stuck on it is trying to log into the QA server as the first thing you do

sometimes it'll stay infinitly
mostly wont

But yeah
I just updated the LAB IX description in the lore document, and I’m kind of curious.

Yesterday, Dondi replied to a message of mine in Isle discussion where I sent a picture of the LAB IX image from the dev blog.
He responded saying that’s the lab hub and necropsy area... which got me thinking ...
because clearly, if you look at the photo, it’s not showing two completely different areas.
It’s not like one section is the lab hub and another is the necropsy area ... it’s just showing two different optimisations of the same area.

So what he definitely means is that he’s referring to the whole building as the lab hub, and within it, it contains the necropsy area.
-# I can kind of see a theoretical split in the building layout ... maybe the large section closer to the camera is the hub area, and the section further back is the necropsy area. We don’t truly know the layout yet though, so we’ll have to wait and see.

What I’m more curious about is the description of it specifically being called the lab hub and necropsy area.
I don’t know, it just makes me more curious about the name LAB IX.
I feel like maybe there’s more to it ... maybe LAB IX isn’t just the name of a single lab location, but more like a company division, subsidiary, or specialised task group.
Maybe it’s a specialised subsidiary run by Apollo Engineering, either on Gateway or across multiple islands, and it’s just called LAB IX.

I don’t know, maybe I’m overthinking it and reading too far into things, but calling it the lab hub really stood out to me.
That phrasing seems to give LAB IX a very bold label, like it’s a central or important facility rather than just a standard lab.

If anything, maybe LAB IX is primarily a necropsy-specialised facility.
But then why describe it as having a hub instead of just being a necropsy lab? That’s what makes me wonder if it has a broader function.

Maybe it’s used for administrative or coordination purposes between Gateway and other labs.
Or maybe all sizeable labs need to have a hub section, and this is just normal and not of importance to think about.

We’ve seen parts of the interior already, and a lot of it feels very hub-like.
There’s a kitchen, a lot of open space, and overall it doesn’t look like the majority of the facility is dedicated purely to necropsy in terms of total floor composition.
It will be really interesting to see how it’s actually structured in the end.

from this message: #isle-discussion message

[hexed forge]

Thank you

[acoustic osprey]

No worries

[west sinew]

I managed to get into it @acoustic osprey with the QA trick you did

messing around in here, trying to figure out how to interace with it

I feel like this isn't JUST for the game

There's something else hidden in this menu, there's gotta be

[acoustic osprey]

from what i believe
at the moment
i believe its just the games, until they add more *soon ™ *

but nice!

[west sinew]

I think I am going to start spending time in this menu, maybe I am crazy but I feel like there's something else in here.

Type the right command? I don't know, there's this empty audio file in here that makes me start going nuts.

[acoustic osprey]

its an Isle Legacy Lore reference (of course, coming from Fnaf)

just because they're basically the same thing

[bright blaze]

Can anyone here explain to me what tartarus is?

[rigid tartan]

Tartarus as in the Greek Tartarus?

[bright blaze]

no like the tartarus in the isle lore

[acoustic osprey]

we have a doc in the pinned messages (2nd one) that is a better summarisation and theory doc on lore
if you want more straight forward answers

but basically...

Tartarus is a truly distinct but unknown location
From what we believe, it seems to be some sort of theorised massive facility (or island? or site?) of some sort
What it does or may not do is truly up in the air, in most regards
It has been used as a threat to employees who access restricted documents.

In legacy, specifically, it was basically believed to be a giant creation facility for strains and the similar monsters...
for example, The Matriarch was developed within Tartarus (legacy, of course)
Alongside in Legacy, Tartarus was given EIPs via Gateway (Gateway had been a facility holding that transported EIPs straight to Tartarus)

but with Evrima...

its a bit harder to describe

going back to the threat bit
It may be that Tartarus is just a giant holding/prison cell - a bit more like actual Greek mythos.

however
if you note from this re-created slide from the AUGUSTUS incident report

additional replications of AUGUSTUS had remained in Tartarus

remained being a very important word here
Which seems to indicate that they, AUGUSTUS replicants, were replicated within Tartarus ... and those that weren't re-injected into Gateway or any other location/site were just left to stay within Tartarus

This might indicate that, rather,
instead of Tartarus being this massive holding cell that just lets their employees rot in a cell
It might be more of an active lab-ish facility that has to work on a lot of dirtier/rougher tasks (potentially even with Strains, but we don't know with Evrima for sure)

And so I kinda relate the idea of Tartarus as like Shrek

(that being, workers who had failed their projects would be sent to work on Shrek)

-# Shrek (at the time) was the low-budget boondoggle that would likely never succeed. So you're being sent to have a bad mark on your portfolio

hope this helps!

[bright blaze]

Why did magnas get scrapped

[low scarab]

Saw the movie on Friday lol

[hexed forge]

Changes in the lore

[celest coyote]

iirc in legacy there was a collab with primal carnage, and magnas were part of that

as the collab is no longer a thing, magnas are no longer a thing

stuff like hypers is though afaik

[strange shell]

Also magnas are kinda uninteresting as strains
They're just the regular animal, but better and without the downsides that come with being a strain in the first place

[frosty root]

im playing on petits NA right now and sitting in a bush growing and i just heard some gutteral growl

like that was not a playable

and the whole forest went quiet

im at the fence near east sanctuary, has anyone heardsomething like that before

i didnt record it sadly

[ionic fog]

New deino sounds, that’s a spawn for them too

[gaunt dawn]

Paleo call

[frosty root]

honestly might be it, it definetly didnt sound like a paleo call it really was more of a growl rather than a rumble

[acoustic osprey]

[icy onyx]

Could someone tell me the lore behind these trees I’ve been interested

[tranquil flume]

Tweez

[pine rose]

do you know about straintrees?

thats a old legacy concept of one

arbourburst to be specific I believe

[acoustic osprey]

yes

[pine rose]

could be a ceiba but imagine if we had that ingame, like man

[acoustic osprey]

we only have ArborBurst Redwoods at the moment
so i wouldn't be surprised if there are more

[pine rose]

ya

but im just imaging the size of that tree

especially since this is a hyper spino I think

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
it's a bit big lol

[acoustic osprey]

yep
and little hueman ant next to it

[pine rose]

ya

[acoustic osprey]

i presume that arborburst tree was going to be the replacement tree for the spire on Spiro

[pine rose]

like how big would that even be, like highlands size? dome size

[acoustic osprey]

which, of course, never happened

[pine rose]

nothing ever happens

[acoustic osprey]

definitely dome height
give or take

[tribal bobcat]

A bit big.. that tree would cover like the whole South Plains if it was real ingame or even bigger.. 😭

There is nothing like The Isle's lore anywhere else ..

[fast forge]

If we get an arborburst ceiba, I'd put it out in the jungle instead of inside a dome (which is where I expect the 'burst redwood to be located)

And yeah, the size of a small dome certainly seems possible

what is this from

i vaguely remember it

[acoustic osprey]

from a Don post here
a long long while ago now

[charred dust]

Does this mean anything?:
825143796
HBEADCGIF

[ionic fog]

I wonder how far along the graph they got before troodon existed

[fast forge]

where did it come from?

[charred dust]

I saw y'all talk about beep boops a while back so I recorded the main menu background noise (which has beeps and also softer beeps throughout), and because I'm not good at Audio, I bought chatgpt Plus, gave the sound to chatgpt, told it some isle background, and to basically check the whole up and down of that audio and tell me what he finds. And he found this: (spent a good couple of mins on analizying it)

[fast forge]

honestly doesn't seem like anything to me

Assigning numbers to each beep according to their relative pitch to each other doesn't really signify anything

And then saying that it's a pattern when the same audio repeats - of course it's a pattern, it's the same audio file on repeat

This honestly adds nothing, it only sounds complicated to those who don't bother to break down the logic

But there is no logic, it's just "what if we assign numbers to these beeps, those numbers must surely be a code"

Like I could assign numbers to the notes in the chorus of a song, but that doesn't indicate any intent by the creator to hide a code or something

Also ChatGPT isn't built to add any new context to anything, all it does is summarize the pre-existing information

It can find patterns in data, but without proper context it's just going to find nonsense patterns

[acoustic osprey]

and its also pretty random

and those boops and beeps play randomingly in stereo in the main menu too

[acoustic osprey]

Hi Daviid!!

[ionic fog]

How the mighty fall, lightclaw forgot lore

[acoustic osprey]

nuh uh

[acoustic osprey]

all we have is really just this:

I'm writing anomalous incident reports, which is just my fun way of talking about dinosaur abilities in the narrative setting. Most of it is spent humanizing people that aren't relevant to multiplayer just so you want to read.

The vast majority of the troodon's takes place with audio transcripts of interviews and snippets of personal journals over a short, but unspecified amount of time. So you'll get what people think they saw at the time and they wrote down vs what they recall much later when audio interviews occurred. There's also specific notes jotted down amongst the scrabble of factual information that's cross-referenced with island utilities such as cameras or when biotracing is created, so you can be like "Dohoho it wasn't an error! " instead of left completely wondering.

I haven't had characters spring up across multiple reports.

also added entombed on AUGUSTUS, but not deceased

as we don't truly know if there is only one way of entombment

as we're yet to know how it fully works in all regards

EIPs? Profiles? Being sent back to X (Olympus maybe? TOMB? Tartarus?)?

redwoods notoriously need copious near-daily coastal fog to hydrate their leaves (they can drink through their stems in addition to roots)

[acoustic osprey]

refer back to Gateway ST with its beautifully crazy swamp fog lol

[patent ginkgo]

fog may truly be the universal answer in the isle

[acoustic osprey]

like what even was this

[acoustic osprey]

also, though probably won’t happen, cali huckleberries grow in coastal redwood forests

[acoustic osprey]

i see

[patent ginkgo]

man now i’m thinking about all the foliage improvements possible for swamp

[acoustic osprey]

so AE has kinda done the impossible again!!

[acoustic osprey]

nuh uh!

[patent ginkgo]

pretty much, since temperature tends to really limit how tall redwoods can grow cause of transpiration

[acoustic osprey]

fun

[patent ginkgo]

equisetum… actual cypress foliage… giant ferns of various types…

[acoustic osprey]

i just want aussie east coast mangroves!!
(i live right next to one, beautiful area)

[patent ginkgo]

please

[acoustic osprey]

crab law as well

[patent ginkgo]

need mangroves

[acoustic osprey]

soon... 😔

[ornate comet]

TRUE STATEMENT

austro + mangroves

[ionic fog]

Perfect reasoning for them to be Domed! Nurtured environment, skylights for sun, artificial misting systems

And for the redwoods seen in swamp, idk, maybe that wall that briefly had the door hinge on swamp side was breached by a big bad and redwoods seeded out into the wild

[patent ginkgo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/855527844670865438/1291784590876479499/true-morgan-freeman.gif

[patent ginkgo]

perhaps… or simply genetic modification… or a combination more likely

i could see heat-tolerant redwoods as a very easily marketable short-term climate solution

(i say short term because most (?) of the carbon they capture doesn’t get put into the ground and gets decayed back into the atmosphere)

[ionic fog]

Origins of AE after all

[patent ginkgo]

as opposed to grasslands, which put like all of it below ground forever

[patent ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-its-all-coming-together-gif-15058130

then what becomes of the perimeter

if not redwoods

[acoustic osprey]

probably more arborbursts

heck
maybe a totem or two!

Quick question, i was wondering do we know where the isle is located?

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/takanaka-guitar-guitarist-masayoshi-takanaka-gif-26803330

everywhere and nowhere, all at once

map of plants found on Gateway (from last year)

[opaque aspen]

Whut

[opaque aspen]

There is no in lore hints to where it is? Like the pacific or the caribe?

[ornate comet]

was gonna say erm a lot of plants had model changes and stuff before I saw this

[clever veldt]

Can anyone give me a simple the isle lore like how the dinosaur in the isle or what is the human doing or is it some kind of company

[lethal moat]

Humans made dinosaur using giant machine that makes life, humans work for company to make dinosaurs

[ornate comet]

I like dinosaurs

[tawny axle]

Are sandstorms canon? Because if they are that would mean the island is located next to a big desert

[lethal moat]

Not that we’ve seen, that’s just a part of the weather pack or whatever it is

[tawny axle]

Shame because that would really facilitate things

[lethal moat]

A desert map would be cool, we do know there is a map getting work done rn

Not related to desert from what we’ve heard

[tawny axle]

Yeah it definitely would, I'd really like to see a map where players have to be constantly on the move from one oasis because they keep drying up

[lethal moat]

Eh, I’m not the fan of hotspots

The map in development has redwoods though, which is cool

[tawny axle]

But what I really meant is that if sandstorms were canon in gateway that would mean the island is located next to a desert which would make it easier to locate it in the world map

[lethal moat]

Yeah, but it’s just an engine thing, my bet is east asia or the Caribbean

[tawny axle]

Me neither tbh

[tawny axle]

It has to be inside the tropics but that only leaves out north America and southern australia

[fast forge]

I think that's just an unreal engine thing, not added by devs

That's why most servers don't have them enabled

[bright blaze]

Are tribals still planned because i cant see how they would fit into lore?

[acoustic osprey]

[acoustic osprey]

we also have a tiny bit of backstory, from Dondi (which might have changed a bit/more formalised because Don had made his big ol' timeline doc last year)

but:

[bright blaze]

ah yes, i just still picture the old one with the blue tatoos

[acoustic osprey]

They began as a retaliatory product by AE as an overengineered answer to
the question of, “What if something hits AE?”, and are an effective deterrent.

[acoustic osprey]

those were painful but very funny placeholders lol

[acoustic osprey]

as much as I LOVE the style of lore videos/media we've been getting the past 2-3 years
it would be amazing to get some proper lore, somehow, on these fellas

I wonder if the “hallucinations” track is referring to dilo’s venom or something else

[ornate comet]

Haven’t heard that one in a bit so i can’t remember what it’s like. But I’d imagine that dilo venom would need to do a lot more to warrant that lol

[lethal moat]

What if EIPs dream when they aren’t in a body

[ornate comet]

TSL deaths trigger cutscenes of lore

[lethal moat]

That’d be sick

[valid geyser]

Honestly yeah, that’d be super sick

[ornate comet]

It’s like showing individual peoples experiences and lore depending on the species

Like imagine this guys been an Omni for ages, you die with specific conditions and are shown a cutscene about a specific person

[lethal moat]

Have you ever played outer wilds? The life replay would be super cool

[ornate comet]

I have not

[lethal moat]

Whenever you die, you flash through a series of images of things you’ve done in that life, it’s really neat

[ornate comet]

Shows the same tree 4 times as I afk grow as trike lmao (I don’t afk grow)

[civic pollen]

my whole life flashed before my eyes!
-# it was quite boring.

[lethal moat]

It would be neat

[civic pollen]

i love the idea!

make the afk-ers wish they had a cool montage.

Really funny bonus points if it sometimes showed images that revealed just how often you were close to threats
Whether you knew it or not

“Aw look at my life!! Me and my baby and-… is… there was a Rex there…?”

[lethal moat]

Hell yeah

[ornate comet]

You’re a prime elder cera, 100%. You go to die of old age unknowingly in a TSL location. Pressing replicate immediately triggers the cutscene. Young man working for AE. He’s a major germophobe. Constant hand washing, disinfecting, mini panic attacks when there’s something icky. He worked on the cerato genome or something. Somehow, he gets wrapped up into the cycle and is placed in a cerato body where he is now eating the most putrid and disgusting things

[lethal moat]

Ooooo

[ornate comet]

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-sometimes-my-genius-almost-frightening-driving-car-ride-gif-16463163

[ornate comet]

His own personal hell

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but do the eips gradually lose their humanity the longer they are in the loop?

If so you can make it even more messed up by having him at first still retain his disgust for all things icky. Then gradually through the many lives he has no choice but to eat a putrid rotten body. The first few bites he retches at the taste, has to take breaks in between bites. But after few minutes something inside him snaps and he just chows down.

[civic pollen]

gnarly

[ornate comet]

I’d imagine that TSL cutscenes would fall into categories

Lore on AE as a company
Lore on a specific person
The horrors of being a dinosaur
Encoded things that when solved reveal lore or show us a step in getting a strain

[lethal moat]

Something like that

there is a morally grey company shoving (albeit willing) people into a 1000 life contract that makes them insane

abandoned island with dinosaurs? yes

but thats basically where the similarites end lore wise

[unkempt perch]

The whole thing abt dinosaur testing on a island

Is pulled from jp3

[lethal moat]

The end goal is very different

[unkempt perch]

Heck the whole thing where human mutant hybrids used for military purposes is quite similar

[lethal moat]

https://klipy.com/gifs/bernie-sanders-climate-change-is-real

[unkempt perch]

Why were dinos even created heck why were hypers all of these strains created then

Cause what i heard was it was for war

[lethal moat]

Strains are medicine adjacent, the rest is related to rebuilding the environment before/during/after climate change destroys it, likely for something similar to have a monopoly on the environment, allowing AE to make much profit (all the profit)

[fast forge]

Not all of the stuff on the island was necessarily intended, either

Using dinos, especially bloodthirsty mutant dinos, for war, is possibly the worst idea ever

Insert clab law

forgot how cool they were

[knotty locust]

although ancient, they provide some interesting info

like the "total cell count x days" chart for the tisso rex

the hell is "Wwox relative expression"

[acoustic osprey]

ye!
kinda strange but funny how people kinda forgot these and slowly applied just generic 'rogue' style ideas on Tissos because (and they forget, only) Reaper is bat-like

i like the idea of just flesh continues growing.

[acoustic osprey]

probably something genome related
hmm

[knotty locust]

explains a portion of the matriarch too, though fanmade

[acoustic osprey]

doesn't hurt what we know about her for Evrima as well

but, Tap's fan stuff on it (which likely dates back to comments given by Don on a VERY old stream that i do not know about)
definitely fits more

[acoustic osprey]

https://www.cellosaurus.org/CVCL_0290

one of the things on its chart
breast cancer for the last one - HCC1937

maybe it slowly produces more and more cancerous cells?

need to check the others

https://www.atcc.org/products/htb-22

another breast cancer cell line

maybe the general idea of Tissos were made to target breast cancer? At least, breast cancer first

[lethal moat]

Off topic but did you see someone found a cure for pancreatic cancer?

[rigid tartan]

Wait…they did????

[lethal moat]

Pancreatic cancer, my mistake

[rigid tartan]

Either way that’s awesome to hear

[lethal moat]

Yeah, they found some new chemicals that ridiculously increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in mice, so still more testing to be done, but it’s looking very promising

[rigid tartan]

I hope so. Lost some family to cancer so I keep hoping for a cure

[lethal moat]

Yeah, I’m waiting for more development into brain tumor treatment myself

[fast forge]

The line above that also refers to 'GFP' which is Green Fluorescent Protein

GFP is used as a signaler in genetic engineering. Like, let's say that genetic engineers want to express a certain protein, but they can't tell if the gene that codes for that protein is expressed by just looking at the animal. If they attach a GFP tag to the target gene, they will know the target gene is expressed when they can see that the GFP gene is expressed

GFP is funny in that it is a jellyfish gene that codes for bioluminescence under a backlight

[merry zodiac]

its a shame they are gonna get disappeared

[fast forge]

So if they've successfully reproduced the target gene, they just have to see if the animal glows under backlight

[fast forge]

Also, the GFP gene was one of several used to make 'GloFish' glow

[snow jasper]

fruit flavoured fish

[acoustic osprey]

Oh nice

[rustic urchin]

I think they also got that gene from jellyfish which is cool

And also makes me roll my eyes every time a Jurassic world or similar media has a “hybrid” animal randomly get unforeseen traits like “we gave this dinosaur jellyfish genes to make it glow but now it’s grown venomous tentacles!” or something

Unrelated to that though, it’s been said that Apollo Engineering is just one company owned by a larger parent company right?

If so…

[acoustic osprey]

strange
I wonder would this relate to the breast cancer cell lines

As it seems like all 4 are related to such

[rustic urchin]

Tbf the original idea was still pretty rogue/assasin based as well. Also didn’t really make much out of the cell growth

[fathom jay]

Dino crisis 3

[wind epoch]

Would anyone think it's fair to say that a number of the species we play as are essentially new, man-made species versus those that are "unaltered"? For example, hererras having the abilty to climb.

[slate pewter]

Hello

[rustic urchin]

It’s fair to say most if not all of them are

Unlikely that any of them are 100% pure. We don’t even know if the dinosaurs are truly clones that were made from Dina dna or if they were essentially made from scratch to look like what the scientists imagined a dinosaur to be

Although that rex video that had its infrasound calls did imply some kind of rex dna was present

[wind epoch]

I suspect the Hererra species we play as has the incorporation of a couple of different modern reptiles in its genus: particularly a tree monitor of some kind, and the basilisk lizard or the marine iguana. It would explain how it's so agile and good at climbing.

Not to mention how crazy flexible it is for a therapod.

[rustic urchin]

Have you seen the Augustus video? It goes into Herreras climbing a bit

[wind epoch]

I have not, actually...

[rustic urchin]

https://youtu.be/Bc1QNXK_XOM?si=pPo-iulLVob-7ghm

[strange shell]

I'm fairly certain there is 0% dinosaur DNA in the game's dinosaurs

[rustic urchin]

That’s what I thought too until that recent lore video with Rex and the infrasound calls

Since it implies that some rex specimens had naturally mutated to re-emerge ancestral traits, which would likely mean that there is some genuine rex genome

[strange shell]

Interesting

[bright blaze]

anyone have an ideas on whaat the conext behind the robo quetz in this is about

[lethal moat]

#isle-lore-theories message

We should discuss robo quetz more often tbh

[bright blaze]

''The body rejects'' is a insane line😭

[lethal moat]

https://klipy.com/gifs/nightmare-before-6

I think it's mostly for surveillance personally

[bright blaze]

maybe all dinos are robots. AE made survelliance bots made from dinosaur bones and while testing strains the skeleton of the animal regrew its body over the mechanical workings [definetly not im just spouting nonsense]

[lethal moat]

Well, are we counting EIPs as robots, and are all dinosaurs EIPs?

[bright blaze]

https://klipy.com/gifs/my-interest-was-definitely-piqued-andrew-baena

[lethal moat]

Is anything real

(Que Don with the super vague, and infuriating statement that sparks months long debates)

[bright blaze]

what more could you expect from the isle

[lethal moat]

Do the weapons get EIPs

Do the strains

I feel like strains would be a punishment more than anything

are the EIPs capable of conciously acting out, or do they just go feral

If they are capable, does AE misread them acting out as going feral

https://klipy.com/gifs/miles-morales-spider-man-3

[rustic urchin]

Weapons as in gen1?

Anyways I know the popular idea of roboquetz is that it’s meant to be a discrete way of surveillance on the island, but to me that just doesn’t make any sense

[lethal moat]

Mhm

[lethal moat]

Well in legacy, quetz was one of the animals that was stolen yes? Maybe robo quetz was a way to spy on other companies before they acquired the asset

[tawny axle]

Why would they choose to only show this in one of the many concept arts?

[lethal moat]

There's likely more we just don't know yet

[tawny axle]

But it's oddly specific, if they have different robots for different species why only showcase it on one concept art? It's also odd that they would choose the quetz which isn't even a dinosaur

[rustic urchin]

Maybe, idk how much of that is basically just primal carnage lore though. The isle/pce lore there was phoenixs quetz escaped, and you can see it flying around on atrium c map where it escaped from

[rustic urchin]

A 40 foot wingspan hyperpredator imitation is NOT discrete, that won’t put the animals or people you’re spying on at ease. Better to have a regular drone that’s smaller, or trail cameras, or anything else. It’d be like trying to monitor animals in the African Savanah by using a fake lion with a camera in it

I do have some other ideas though

A. “Scarecrow” function, flying an imitation of a quetz around an area could potentially deter other pterosaurs and some dinosaurs from an area, making it safer for humans

B. Not meant to be functional for a certain purpose, but moreso a “science experiment”, testing technology for anything from experimental aircraft, to bionic prosthetics, to their EIP stuff

C. It not only looks and flies like a quetz, but can also attack like one, so it’s a drone that can also skewer somebody if desired (I feel like this is unlikely but who knows)

[tawny axle]

Mb quetzs fly at a higher altitude that any other flyer on the island so they chose it as a moving camera

[fast forge]

Paleobiologists have theorized that azhdarchids were high altitude flyers, so this has always seemed pretty plausible to me

[rustic urchin]

Why not just have a regular drone at that point then

[fast forge]

perhaps they had better genetic engineering tech than robotics tech

[tawny axle]

Bc it could get eaten by a real quetz XD

[rustic urchin]

One that flies just as high/higher, faster, and is smaller and doesn’t make your target of interest look up and go “ohshititsaquetzimgoingtohide”

[rustic urchin]

If anything I feel like a drone that mimics another quetz would be at higher risk of unwanted attention than a small drone would be

[fast forge]

Have you ever seen a turkey vulture go up real high? They are big birds but they just turn into a speck in the sky

Azhdarchids likely went even higher because of their massive wings

[tawny axle]

Idk, I think at any point of the reasoning we have to take in account that they could be applying the rule of cool

[rustic urchin]

Yeah but not only is this an animal way larger, but also at the point where it’s essentially a speck, what’s the point of it being a decoy when a normal surveillance drone would be way cheaper and smaller and more efficient

[fast forge]

I think it's because at higher altitudes you need a bigger surface area because the air is thinner?

[tawny axle]

Mb the model we see on the concept art is not complete and the real one has a skin that mimics the real animal

[rustic urchin]

Oh I have no doubt that from a writers/developers perspective, the concept of “cool robo quetz” came before the function of it

But if you’re going to make a reason for its existence after the fact, at least pick a good one

[tawny axle]

In my mind a normal drone would get taken down by one of the flying reptiles of the island

[rustic urchin]

Like i totally get robo quetz for the sake of robo quetz. It’s cool

But if you then need to write in a reason for it, imo “surveillance” is a weak one

[fast forge]

I think they already had the quetz for other reasons anyway, and chose to turn it into a drone

Also remember this was the 90's-00's, and even drone tech in our universe was still relatively new. I remember the 90's and civilian/commercial drone use was nearly nonexistent, and the military ones were as big as a plane anyways

[rustic urchin]

I’m just thinking of how fast, maneuverable, and high-flying modern drones are, I think the odds of a pterosaur honing in on it would be pretty low. And since they’re also cheap, worst case is you lose one on rare occasions to a ptera

[rustic urchin]

If roboquetz was a 90s thing that would make more sense yeah. Less competition with small scale drones

[tawny axle]

But they could be ambushed if they don't have perifferal vision (idk anything abt drones)

[rustic urchin]

Most have pretty good camera vision, and also if it’s flying super high it’s hard to get ambushed usually

[fast forge]

For all we know the drone tech in this universe was even worse than our own in the 90's. I remember a conversation once with Isaac where we wondered whether the Cold War and the space race even happened in this universe, and we honestly don't even know

[tawny axle]

Usually alternate universes don't really change that many things

[rustic urchin]

It is going to get weird at times in general when it comes to tech in this universe I think

Instances where this 1990s company on one hand is using dial up internet, and on the other is creating neural links between bodies and creating life on a level we can’t comprehend

[fast forge]

Also whatever type of AI that the replicator is

[lethal moat]

Ai is typically best at matching/sorting things, and doing that for various genes seems like a good application of such

[rustic urchin]

Imo though roboquetz is more of a general testbed for various tech. Even modern day engineers are looking at pterosaur biomechanics for aircraft, robotics groups are experimenting with different animal and human anatomy, and for all we know, roboquetz could be partially organic, meaning testing the viability of “cyborgs” more or less

[fast forge]

oh indeed, genetics is a very promising field for upcoming ai tech

[rustic urchin]

Plot twist: the reason the south pond on spiro dried up was due to replicator using all the water

[fast forge]

I wonder at times, if AE has such good biotechnology, maybe their powerful computational abilities are possible with biocomputing? Maybe they are using a brain in a jar (so to speak) to do the heavy computing that is required for this complex level of genetic engineering

[rustic urchin]

I wouldn’t be surprised. Especially since things like echidna exist

[fast forge]

Is the replicator run off of one or more brains?

[fast forge]

I wouldn't assume Echidna was any planned thing on the part of AE. It's possible they made it in a lab, or it's possible that a Gen 1 was infected with neuro strain "in the wild" and outside of controlled systems

We can't say either way

But yeah
It really doesn't seem like their average desktop computer systems were very complex, but perhaps the supercomputers had biocomputing

[rustic urchin]

Probably, but the fact that they kept it around and clearly did a lot of neurotenic testing and development might also lead back to some concept of “brain computer” stuff

Although iirc the main purpose of neuros is Alzheimer’s related

[rustic urchin]

Some of the computers around the island definitely look like standard 90s box computers lol

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair i kinda forgot lol

but
the cell-like identity of Tissos really did just kinda fade away into just indom camo generic rogue dinosaur

just through the power of times erosion of memory

[acoustic osprey]

it would be something quite interesting if EIPs in Evrima were just inverted
from the mind of the flesh to the mind of the artificial

or maybe if NEIPs were supposed to be this

to be fair
the one reference of NEIPs doesn't really seem to point to something like this.

but it was such a minimal reference from oh so long ago

[tranquil flume]

may or may not be working on a project for my lore theory now LOL

[acoustic osprey]

yay

[thin vine]

rawrblox

[tranquil flume]

properly 3D modeling this as best as i can

[acoustic osprey]

"Tartarus: NEIP Redistribution"
^for context as well

that being the only reference of such (NEIPs)

[fast forge]

Non-Embryonic Intelligence Profile?

[acoustic osprey]

kinda interesting how much, in legacy lore, "Profiles" (thus relating to EIPs... and presumably NEIPs as well) were referred with Tartarus

Once another profile is complete, the Matriarch will redistribute within the observable areas of Tartarus for study

User Inquiry: Tartarus ... This distribution of this information will disrupt the natural development of the profiles during phase four

User Command: Transfer EIP ... Error: Location Unknown ... Error: You are in Tartarus. ... Error.

User Inquiry: Who is watching us?"
"All profiles submit information to the replicator. The replicator compiles this information and redistributes it upon Gateway."
(Gateway being gateway to Tartarus — even back in Legacy times, albeit the idea of Gateway was definitely very painful to understand)

theres a tiny bit more
maybe it is not a painful amount of a lot — thus being Legacy lore.
But it certainly does raise a brow
you were never short of seeing a Tartarus ... or gateway ... reference when profiles were mentioned. Or vice versa.

[fast forge]

These quotes almost make it sound like Tartarus acts like a purgatory for these EIP's between bodies

[acoustic osprey]

something i do believe is possible, certainly
I've referred to them as such before, a while back now.

-# i wrongly quoted someone, so i am glad i realised my mistake ... because it was only a theory.

trying not to make it sound passive aggressive / ego-y
that second line is a pain to write

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/855527844670865438/1469339466958114846/pies.gif

but yes

i've woke up late today and a bit of a mess (dog was blanket)
But damn I had my 4th proper Isle dream last night — which became such a slap when i realised it was a dream
and was reading all the convos when i woke on my phone

Like DAMN

i was really disappointed to realise i or someone had not cracked the secret bit of the terminal

[fast forge]

aww

[acoustic osprey]

it all seems distant now, that dream
so the actual content of it was a lot more fleshed out

lol

[fast forge]

I've had dreams like that

I've got to remember that thing I figured out in dream
But it just slips away like water in your fingers

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/pigeon-smoking-cigarette-gif-7005519433221201453

[acoustic osprey]

quite funny how our brain almost immediately recognises unimportance of the dream
and switches off almost all access to them

[fast forge]

Is that it?

Or is it just how our brains process memories?

I dunno, I don't know much about neurology

[acoustic osprey]

i suppose it may serve no importance to our survival as a being
so i presume it just survival instincts of the brain kicks in — life over fantasy
unless you really really manifest the dream into your mind again

[acoustic osprey]

i wonder if there are any proper papers on them

*preferably a bit nicely summarised, knowing how fat and 'boring' proper scientific papers can be *

[tranquil flume]

My whole pc was lagging rip

[lethal moat]

I wouldn't mind more technical lore papers, make people have to actually commit to learn more

And they've show they're already open to such with the plant breakdowns in the the dibble video

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/shoebody-bop-minute-hour-gif-5463860976927669411

[acoustic osprey]

exactly

i suppose, always a bit hard/slow for Don to write
At least, but quality takes time

[tranquil flume]

Shorthand lore documents

[lethal moat]

Just a random footnote at the end of a document about dietary preferences for spinosaurus (Neurotenic specimines did not exhibit these behaviors)

[acoustic osprey]

the last two videos were a pleasant surprise
especially after that drought

[lethal moat]

Or like the feathered galli thing

[lethal moat]

I'm hopeful for the steam trailer

[acoustic osprey]

I want to wish there could be something hidden
maybe even a little easter egg — or stretching it... something that may lead to a bit of a scavenger hunt, dare i say it

but my expectations are definitely low
however, a little nod to lore would be a very welcome surprise

[acoustic osprey]

'they didn't do that'

[lethal moat]

Give some sort of teaser

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-mark-mark-edward-fischbach-iron-lung-eyes-gif-1068675663796353901

[acoustic osprey]

quite so

-# on the topic of 'technical' lore papers. Man it will be something when (well, more so if) we finally get some hard old lore on EIPs. I wonder when our first proper implementation will be. Not including if SYNTHs are EIPs or anything. More so something that proper dives into EIPs in some way/form or another

[lethal moat]

Or a summary of something like "Study of MIN 1.2.47 was concluded when it was set upon by a juvenile ████████ carnotaurus released from lab █ to which the carnotaurus accidentally ████████ resulting in the demise of MIN 1.2.47 as a result of blood loss"

[snow jasper]

guys, i think it might be a protoceratops

[lethal moat]

I wonder if AE descriptors get into the mechanism and cause of death, like yeah, the cause of death was troodon bite, but the mechanism of death was severe bleeding in the brain leading to a seizure, cause given the sort of funkiness they're dealing with, that can be important

Or just more info on neuro goo

[snow jasper]

did the community lore forum ever come back online?

[acoustic osprey]

hmm

[acoustic osprey]

(Kadin has been busy with work, being funny programmer, so running it got a bit harder to do. He also said he might be doing something with Isle, on lorecord a long while ago, but no idea what has happened with it. And if something has happened, it could be under NDA)

[snow jasper]

I see

[acoustic osprey]

but yeah
nothing yet for the forum

hopefully once back up, it is more easily findable on the web

[rustic urchin]

I think another reason was hypers kinda fighting for space in that area since they’re also identified by their insane regeneration and cell growth, being compared to Wolverine and all

The cell growth has mostly been a blink and you’ll miss it thing for most people

[acoustic osprey]

and yet, on technicality, they were related to two completely different things 😔

[rustic urchin]

Love the skull head

[rustic urchin]

Yeah I think hypers more advanced cell growth through regenerating/healing and tissos are (were?) moreso just really adaptable and “changing” through their cells

I’d love to see tissos not only change colors, but change textures to some extent, like octopus/cuttlefish

Things like growing tassles on their body to mimic foliage, or a rocky texture to blend into, well, rocky areas, or whatever

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
Hypers being given its traits because their endocrine is just massively powerful — thus super hormones
where Tissos are given alternative / improved / whatever sci-fi thing you can do to cells, thus given its traits

[rustic urchin]

Cell?

[acoustic osprey]

all we know, for Evrima Tissos, is just regen of limbs

[rustic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/cell-dragon-ball-dragon-ball-z-cell-games-arrive-gif-12626123329263234447

[acoustic osprey]

NOOOO

[rustic urchin]

To some extent I guess we can gauge tissos as a whole off of evrima reaper

The fact reaper as a general concept hasn’t changed much means hopefully tissos havent either

[acoustic osprey]

hopefully yeah

would love to know why breast cancer cell lines were referenced though

lore!!

there will be a day, a time, where most will be revealed and/or found by us

it just feels like the meme of being too late to explore the world, and too early to explore the galaxy

[rustic urchin]

On the tisso rex background?

I think they were said to maybe be a cancer treatment thing

[acoustic osprey]

this bit, yeah

[rustic urchin]

Cancer is unregulated cell growth. Tissos are supercharged advanced cell growth

Deadpool moment basically

“We cured your cancer by making your cells regenerate too fast for it to kill you”

Is it breast cancer specifically or just cancer in general

[acoustic osprey]

all those cell lines are just breast cancer

[acoustic osprey]

this was my thought

especially
targeting breast cancer first ... maybe

[rustic urchin]

I think that’s the most commonly researched cancer so makes sense ig

[acoustic osprey]

probably yeah, for targeting it first

[rustic urchin]

Looked into it a bit more and yeah those cell lines like mcf7 are some of the most commonly used for cancer research so makes sense

Although I will say, I take some of the details in those concept arts with a grain of salt because the nitty gritty of some of the science just doesn’t make sense sometimes

[acoustic crest]

I didn't know that they are doing hotfixing rn.

[knotty locust]

Tissos being a result of cancer of some kind with all the cell related stuff could be interesting

[lethal moat]

Immortal cancer cells are already a thing, just throw a lil starfish dna in there

[acoustic osprey]

MCF7 BT-474 MDA-MB-231 CC1937 all appear to be for breast cancer

[rustic urchin]

The taxonomy tree in the background of hyper rex concept is kinda wacky, neuro rex paper has certain blurbs just repeat over and over, etc. also the raptor strains making up “deinonychosauroid” and “megaraptoroid” since those aren’t real

[acoustic crest]

what is we talking about gang? 😭 🥀

[acoustic osprey]

old old lore

[rustic urchin]

Also has anyone noticed this in neuro rex concept. Looks like brain mri scans?

[acoustic osprey]

makes sense

there is a lot of eye candy in the Vega art

[fast forge]

I think they might be fossil brain cavity casts

looks stony to me

[snow jasper]

that has to be the least brain looking brain ever

[acoustic osprey]

kinda've a shame our glance sheets aren't a lot more eye-candy-like

[snow jasper]

humans one
dinosaurs nill

forever on top, get dunked on prehistoric braindead organism

[rustic urchin]

I hope we get something besides glance sheets for other stuff. More “research experiment” format for some strains, and maybe something like legacy dossiers too

[fast forge]

Humans have really weird brains compared to literally every other animal
The spine has to take this weird 90 degree turn to go into the base of the brain

[snow jasper]

just another sign of our sheer excellence

[acoustic osprey]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1200439314648141946/1255738661618581575/togif.gif

the day we finally get a proper new lore document
seeing as the last 'proper one' was in 2022 (ERRANT-291)

will be a good day

it is a pain knowing Don has officially made (to our knowledge) a handful of documents in-between 2022 to now
but has never released them yet

like the thing relating to NHJs

[snow jasper]

in-game release 🙏

[acoustic osprey]

kinda the hope with the terminal 😔

to at least help stuff like that get properly communicated in-game

[rustic urchin]

Presumably Rex has a glance sheet sitting around somewhere since it was blurred but shown in its trail cam

[acoustic osprey]

i do not want to imagine a timeline where every lore document we get in-game is just a low quality screenshot from in-game 🫠

albeit, would be fun to try and recreate
just have to hope you can read it

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
i do like the updated format of it

[rustic urchin]

Hopefully if we can collect them in game we can pull up some menu where the ones we’ve collected can be read in high-res quality

[acoustic osprey]

i wonder if it will infer a future or past moment in time

because it uses a different format

or it is just an alternative glance sheet format
used at the same time as the other dino glance sheets

[snow jasper]

I would much sit through a lore drought and receive a lore miracle upon the final touches to humans as opposed to being constantly drip fed lore in discord

[acoustic osprey]

the good news is that Don has seen me and others (and acknowledged such) talk about this issue

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
bringing back lore to the original wants of lore exploration
like what is said on the old kickstarter and the steam page

[snow jasper]

Thats also why I was disappointed in seeing the Hyperendocrin in the recent most devblog, I thought we weren't going to see anything strain related again until one day they just appeared in-game

[rustic urchin]

To some extent during this drought I’d like to get told what shouldn’t be considered lore anymore. If Soon™ we get actual consistent lore then right now I’d like to be told what we should be throwing into the trash as canon

There’s a lot of stuff that is uncertain if it’s even canon or relevant anymore

[acoustic osprey]

i really appreciate Don giving us stuff from time to time though

like i am thankful that Don knows we want stuff
whilst we're in this painfully long era of waiting for lore to truly begin

[snow jasper]

Endure the pain!

[rustic urchin]

I kinda hope that’s not the case anyway. if they want it to be a surprise, that’s fine, but the general playerbase should be reminded that strains do exist and are a thing before they get shoved in. Give some teasers, some lore info on them, etc, but keep the actual surprise

I’d be willing to be most of the 2026 playerbase doesn’t know what a strain is. I see a lot of people in Islecord nowadays have to ask “what’s a hyper” or “what’s a strain”

[acoustic osprey]

i think Don wants us (besides from the obvious — PC(and E) ) to just and glue things together
fill gaps in ourselves using the best of our theory-work, etc

rather than give us everything

i know this wasn't what you were truly saying
but i think this probable Don thought applies to what you say, on a larger scale

[snow jasper]

Yeah Im very different, I side with the side of Dondi which is sort of just You see what you see, and understand what you understand

[rustic urchin]

Yeah I’m fine with putting the puzzle together, I just want to know what puzzle pieces I should be throwing out lol

Like being told to forget anything to do with primal, although sad, was helpful at least. Otherwise we’d still be connecting them

[acoustic osprey]

i believe the actual reference Roon is rooning about was definitely more on the line of 'we ain't going to get CCs to play before, we aren't gonna have devs play around in the world. It'll be dropped when it is dropped'

which i think Roon assumed it meant with everything
even development

[snow jasper]

Probably

[acoustic osprey]

maybe that is it
maybe all that has been truly thrown is just PC lore

to be fair
the more lore we get, the more I see the similarities with Legacy

of course, little things have and will change
but there are still a fair amount of 'big' things that haven't changed on the big picture

[rustic urchin]

I think the average player needs to be at least shown that this isn’t like the other dino survival games in terms of setting. This is why there’s a ton of new players who don’t like the idea of humans or strains or sci fi stuff, because to them they’ve been accustomed to the traditional POT setting of just dinosaurs, and since there’s been very little mention of the other stuff, it feels out of left field

Keep the mystery and the shock, but don’t drop players into the middle of the ocean

[acoustic osprey]

no shade or anything!!!!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/855527844670865438/1469339466958114846/pies.gif

i was under the assumption for a tiny bit as well
but i'm fine with little bits of dev in the background being remembered, like what Dash said

[snow jasper]

Off with the lights

[acoustic osprey]

NOOOO

[snow jasper]

Yes saar

[snow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/tekken-tekken8-next-gen-fight-sea-gif-27608254

[rustic urchin]

Yeah that I’m all for. No big trailers or etas or devblog updates telling us they’re next hordetest or anything. But still tell players what they are, that they are a part of the lore, and that they are something they will be dealing with. Same with humans, players should be acclimated to them a bit before throwing them into the game

[snow jasper]

They'll find their way to shore, I'm sure

[acoustic osprey]

PR still needs to exist with them, to some extent

[snow jasper]

well so long as the booty clenching stuff remains shrouded in darkness and a lack of understanding, I'll still be satisfied

[acoustic osprey]

kinda hoping Strains get a tiny tease
maybe it may have been why the funny hades... the funny H Carno was teased with animation in the dblog

maybe it'll get a little glimpse in the steam page advert

[snow jasper]

a backdrop with dead neuro corpse sitting on the surgical bed in the corner of a dimly lit room

[acoustic osprey]

yeah

something small and neat
and enough for a general isle player to be like 'wtf was that!?'

[rustic urchin]

Yeah for the average player if they just logged onto their Dino sim after downloading some random update, and suddenly saw a human running around with a gun, they’d be sent into shock and probably upset since “this isn’t the game I signed up for” (it was you just didn’t know)

Tease them, use lore stuff and environmental stuff to make general players aware they’re a part of the game, and ofc update the store page to send that message into people’s heads

[acoustic osprey]

hopefully gen2s get some sort of spotlight in the advert

[rustic urchin]

Yeah they shouldn’t have a light shined on every detail, but enough should be shown to actually have interest rather than confusion

Cryptic teasers, basic explanation like the concept arts of olde, maybe add a big footprint somewhere on the map

[acoustic osprey]

at least teasing their proper gameplay style

[acoustic osprey]

basically like lore

in the shadows
mysterious

lots of uncertainty and shrowded guesses

[rustic urchin]

Like how rex was teased in diablos trailer

[acoustic osprey]

erm you mean the mighty allosaurus

[rustic urchin]

I forgor

[snow jasper]

it was a protoceratops!!!!

[rustic urchin]

Rex was in some trailer with the roar

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/855527844670865438/1225219065329745920/Shadow_Gif.gif

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[rustic urchin]

Are island walkers confirmed dead? I thought they were too

[acoustic osprey]

no word on them since they were basically first brought up

same with the primordial

[rustic urchin]

What the hell is the primordial i haven’t heard that one

[acoustic osprey]

man
Dash

you're making me really want to do my proper Dondi interview idea

[acoustic osprey]

you might remember this picture quote

[snow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/interrogating-talking-investigating-pissed-off-sergeant-odafin-tutuola-gif-14223776

[rustic urchin]

Oh I think I do remember that

[rustic urchin]

Please

[acoustic osprey]

i've been thinking about it for a year now

[acoustic osprey]

aye

[rustic urchin]

Was the big lake skeleton ever identified as any certain thing? I thought it was an island walker

[acoustic osprey]

hahaha....

you know the answer, Dash

[snow jasper]

if it was a lore interview, i'd imagine that would be like trying to get blood out of a stone

[rustic urchin]

If Dondi never told us I’m just going to assume it’s the founding titan until told otherwise

[acoustic osprey]

it was probably an island walker
could have been a matriarch — likely why it was moved to titan lake

but like...

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/yon-badass-god-strong-yonn-gif-14969094

[rustic urchin]

Did that skeletons appearance predate aot final season? Yes. Therefore Dondi knows aot author and knew the finale beforehand

[acoustic osprey]

yeah...

which, to me, feels like a bit of a problem

[acoustic osprey]

guh!!!

[rustic urchin]

My assumption for a long time was matriarch but someone at one point told me it wasn’t matriarch and was an island walker

[fast forge]

how old is this?

[acoustic osprey]

could have been me, maybe
I know for a while, a lot of 'us' thought it was the island walker

instead of, like, looking at old messages and seeing
no
we don't know

[rustic urchin]

Didn’t a YouTuber do a Dondi lore interview back in legacy

[acoustic osprey]

a bit old

[acoustic osprey]

MeatyLock or Anthomnia, probs

there were a lot more Lore dicussions with people from Dons discord on stream

[rustic urchin]

Yeah my gut answer was always “big sail, maybe matriarch morphed from a spino and got big and died in the water”

[acoustic osprey]

like with some characters who should not be named

[acoustic osprey]

mmm

[rustic urchin]

Yeah I remember other devs doing qna with Dondi on lore

Punch a few times

Although at the time I didn’t know it was lunch it was just some random British guy

[acoustic osprey]

its funny hearing Punch in some of Don's older streams

he sounds so innocent compared to Don

Don just had that scary amount of passion put into the way he described things

[acoustic osprey]

lol

there were a few non-devs
i remember there a big ol' powwow sort of stream

i believe from 2017?

basically on the topic if PC is canon or not, lol

(Dondi talking:)
There's no connection to PC.
As much as you guys like it,as great as it would be.
No.
Like, there's nothing Primal Related in this game.
Hmm,That's not going to happen.
I Tried that like , at the beginning of The isle and i told all of you at the beginning of The Isle :
'I'm trying to get PC into this game'.
Like,it's...no.
I thoroughly exploited that option.More importantly,recently,I thoroughly exploited that option.

the whole version of this was very interesting
and was before PC was made canon and before CCH

so yeah, definitely 2017-ish

[acoustic osprey]

but still relatively young back in those streams

[fierce cradle]

Hi Lore wizards

I have seen some of the human construction side has black areas where we cannot go

Those areas are still in dev ?

[merry zodiac]

Yeah

They will have connections to the HUB it it ever gets made or other structures

Through corridors like what connects the Docks and the tower or swam and delta

[acoustic osprey]

Haha... yeah...

Hub though
There would have been multiple

Like the original LAB IX

[merry zodiac]

What structures do you think will get made

What are the ones you given up on

[acoustic osprey]

in terms of what we're getting instead of the Hubs?
all we have, right now, is the redone LAB IX

but honestly

no idea what i really want

just things that make logistical sense, as much as they can

Injection Site

• A point/location (“site”) that has been selected to introduce (“inject”) an animal or batch of animals — likely only of the same species. We do not know if there is only one ‘injection site’ on Gateway (location referred to below) or several. May vary depending on the current Gateway/island ecosystem.
• Seen in “File Recovery: USGX-9921-C578”
  • Located in GW_Q10 (Bottom most point of Gateway’s Swamp), the location where a herd of (F36 ) Diabloceratops 0.1.2 were injected into Gateway

this man thinks the golden era of lore didnt already happen in 2016

isle lore was so outrageous and badass

to be fair, if anything, the golden age wasn't just in 2016, but more so 2017 into 2018. Such a time when lore was madly discussed, not just by a select few. And many questions were still on the table, for quite a few things were yet to be found

and such
I do believe we'll reach a time where we won't have to wait a year and a half for a piece of lore

Hello anyone reading in the lore theories channel. I would like to post something!

This is something that I believe is important to me — as some of you may know from my mentions of this for quite a long time now
That being, I would like to set up some sort of interview/episode with Dondi (specifically about lore)
Something interesting, fun and exciting

Hopefully something Dondi can use to scare us and, yet, excite us.

Problem is I need questions
And instead of just using painfully written questions and/or topics that I have down.
I kinda really want the community to be as involved as they can be with this

So I have a google form link (no data/gmails are saved as well, all anonymous)
https://forms.gle/T94TXK4FWThKnYUJA

you don't have to write anything, especially no immediately/straight away. If you are interested but unsure of a question right away feel free to save the link and write anything down in your own time when/if you're ready or have something on your mind that you would love to get answered. If possible

Also, i don't mind if these questions/topics are legacy related

IF this ever truly comes into fruition
I have no idea what criteria Don may or could have

I’d imagine this would go way better than the last interviews don had.

Yep that one
