[acoustic osprey]

I think having incidents happen to specific characters like 291 could lead us into a specific direction in Apollo's general character and their intentions as an organisation.

exactly
i believe it is almost alike what i replied to Don in that original convo
having these little things fitting into grander schemes/themes/ideas about AE/the world around is pretty great and would do wonders
in contrast to highlighting every single character for the sake of 'this character seems interesting'

Don allowing himself to push the story
not the aesthetics of the story

[rough hollow]

Precisely. Best way forward.

Otherwise it'll turn into COD: Zombies/FNAF.

[acoustic osprey]

in a perfect world
we might get a ton of documents (in all its varying styles)

all seemingly unrelated

but once you start looking at the cracks... you may notice some patterns
people getting heart attacks all of a sudden?
all media from ARCHIVE 7 suddenly being corrupted?
sweep teams going missing on seemingly simple missions?

[rough hollow]

The essence of Apollo is what makes it so interesting. The island(s?) and the occupants included.

[acoustic osprey]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kratos-falling-meme-IkfbUjTyQBH2ZKzrB9

which makes it all the more painful...
i, we all want to, dive straight into it all

[rough hollow]

In 291's case. I think realistically they could have suffered a really bad panic attack after realising what'll probably happen to him. Apollo seems like the type of org to hold no exceptions. You fall out of line, you're done.

That panic attack could have alerted an animal, or something worse and... marked them redundant.

[acoustic osprey]

the marked redundant part is specifically about the two sweep teams that returned, out of three)

[rough hollow]

Hmm. I just checked again and it was an interior setting too, which marks the animal attack redundant. (lol)

[acoustic osprey]

although with 291's heart
could've been stress

but, I want to say:
oh but the report makes it seem like ERRANT-291 was all chill and calm
but, to be honest, the report is just a report. No emotion or anything is put into it

the only thing that would give us some emotion about ERRANT-291 is that witness statement
which i doubt we'd ever get lol

however, he does seem (seeing as the main part of the report doesn't really describe anything opposing/contrasting) that 291 gives his stuff and himself willingly (at least the report not reporting any immediate hangups or anything)

so maybe, potentially, 291 was relatively calm
nonetheless
no context

[rough hollow]

Context is key

The witness statement is all we'd need.

Just a few sentances

[acoustic osprey]

oh nice!

[dusk pier]

Yo i gota ask is there any talk in the lore or by dondi about radiation?

[dusk pier]

Not sure how spino will be hiding on gateway considering there only being a few deep spots in lakes and bushes hardly hiding rex as is

[brisk monolith]

It’s really

Dondi post

[fast forge]

nah there are a ton of places

you could fit like 30 spinos under the surface of either big lake

[dusk pier]

Meant more like on land and some rivers being shallow even for deino

[fast forge]

There are a ton of deep spots along the rivers too

[muted hill]

I feel like spino could have neat lore, like is it heavily bio engineered, is this just how it looked irl in the isle universe, was its aggression levels upped, is it natural? so many questions

[strange shell]

Nothing is natural in The Isle lore
Every dino is heavily engineered

None of them have any actual dino DNA

[muted hill]

neat bio engineering ftw

[fast forge]

We don't know this for sure

[civic pollen]

could always post it on offtopic

[tribal bobcat]

Fair.. i'll do my part and do a Acrocanthosaurus appreciation time in there 👍

[acoustic osprey]

no, they might actually
especially Rex

(and if Rex has Paleo DNA, so might the rest...)

however, this doesn't have to be the case
we only know a later version of Rex to have some Paleo DNA
and hence, why Rex was able to use its paleo broadcast/infrasound

[acoustic osprey]

i do realise that i haven't sent the full catalogue of 'recreations' that i have made of glitched panels properly here yet

i think i need to get reorganised every 'lore material' (official and remade) and get it pinned by rumple or someone

thinking maybe some sort of document
or maybe a second tab document in the lore theories doc

seeing as we can add new tabs

if I do
i'll have to tell Rumple to change the doc pinned message
saying that we have all lore media and "fixed/repaired" lore media as well

[civic pollen]

hmmm

[acoustic osprey]

one side of me hopes that it is because it might be last priority for the complete UI overhaul

if the purpose of bringing it back is truly on purpose

@acoustic osprey is there a lore reason that kentros in this random roblox game my friend is showing me

[hexed forge]

Apollo went bankrupt and had to sell their Kentro to a 14 year old roblox developer

https://tenor.com/view/zoo-lander-owen-wilson-oh-who-is-she-ben-stiller-i-monster-gif-27286094

[cerulean epoch]

It's not true, but to a new player, the aesthetics and general themes immediately jump out as being inspired if not a shared relationship with Jurassic Park.

If there were strange motholic structures, primitive homes, or some prominent elements that point more strongly to the game's unique backstory it wouldn't be so, but at the moment it's a tropical island, with dinosaurs, and ruined enclosures.

[tranquil flume]

Once honestly strains come out to game (along with other things ofc) it will def split off into the more horror aspects of the isle than a JP setting

[nimble fractal]

I need my Gen 1 gameplay so I can eat every single creature on the island and be an evil creature

[remote peak]

Tbh I only said that as a joke. It just reminds me of it

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair....

JP's actual horror from the books is a great level to be compared to

and something i can really imagine for us, especially on paper (probably never to the true extent of in a lore video)

unless, like... they really want to hire an animator for a lore video

which would be amazing
but... yeah

[acoustic osprey]

if only universal realised its audience is also filled with adults ... most very willing for something actually like the books...

but, i suppose we have The Isle Lore
which does suffice, with its own twists and style

why does a man suddenly die of a cardiac arrest....

[tranquil flume]

I mean some of the actors for the movies were bummed out about their deaths not being shown

[acoustic osprey]

i just need the book to be redone into a proper movie 😔

https://tenor.com/view/what-plummer-tom-vaughan-lawlor-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-huh-gif-4577099312984516552

[muted hill]

I still think its possible that the cardiac arrest is just a cover for what really happened to 291

Considering misbehaving or leaking anything AE can result in a lineage displacement I wouldnt be surprised if 291 was executed for being out of bounds or something along those lines

also assuming this counts as lore

[white cloud]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm this kinda reminds me of

[tulip coral]

Hypo Carno is gonna be a nightmare

[acoustic osprey]

two very interesting quotes by Vis tonight

By the progress I'm making on this, a "thing" will finally be used and traversed properly in game.
(About something he posted, and deleted, but not GUTS...)

We've had discussion on it. I won't go into detail yet, but what I can, is that at some point I'll surely post a bait image once its there.
About the monorail

[acoustic osprey]

very much so

[acoustic osprey]

something that Tiny brought up with you last year

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

would be interesting

[muted hill]

interesting

[acoustic osprey]

as
suddenly
having the heart failing is quite suspicious

however, AE just simply writing it down also seems a bit odd
like it is such a sudden sort of death that is very obviously not right
Why put it down at all (if it was some sort of cover up)?

[muted hill]

if 291 is an AE asset perhaps they may need it documented

[acoustic osprey]

depends on what you mean by asset
and what AE defines "assets" as

he had an employee badge and a "SHIFT"
but was he truly an employee? Was he a normal employee?
Or was he, physically, a Gen2 and/or EIP employee? (Depending on how EIPs work, of course)

[muted hill]

either employee or gen 2 was using it as a blanket term

[acoustic osprey]

what i mean is that Gen2s may also be employees
but if AE made Gen2 bodies, does that mean you (a Gen2) are an asset as well?

[muted hill]

I'd assume anything they create would be labeled an asset wether the invidual knows it or not, dinosaur, mutant or "human"

Like a gen 2 might just appear and think "oh boy another shift" when it reality they have no clue what they are if that makes sense

[acoustic osprey]

if ERRANT-291 was truly a Gen2 "Employee"
I wonder if they had a biological switch that they could've activated
maybe something only those in "OLYMPUS" or wherever the higher ups are from can do/know about being able to do

Seeing as we know, from Don, that not eveything internally in AE is in pure and true communication with each other

[muted hill]

A biological switch, now that would be interesting

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-angry-gods-adventure-time-jake-adventure-time-jake-the-dog-jake-angry-gif-12555746965887914949

... and mask it as something that can literally happen
like a random cardiac death

[muted hill]

with gen 2 essentially "greek god" physique humans I do wonder if they have an other extras we dont know of yet such as bonus organs kinda like the Astartes of 40k

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

potentially could be the Eyeless
if Don's quote about Gen1.5 is meant to be more of a literal 'inbetween' of Gen1 and Gen2

[muted hill]

do you think its possible over time they evolve or morph from gen 1 into 2 or its more of a term for their creation experiments

[acoustic osprey]

i'll be honest
probably no

but would be pretty scary and interesting

[muted hill]

yeah I'd assume so but it would be an interesting thing, like they more human biomass they consume it morphs them and their DNA

God I need to make these. I can only assume that was not in-game footage. The only way I could've seen them getting that lighting was through a human player just standing behind the Spec Cam with a flashlight on. That honestly sounds more tedious then UE5.

I don't think someone put the effort into doing something in UE5

[rough hollow]

Being able to add light sources would be the cherry on top.

[acoustic osprey]

very very much so

probably just a replay only section for the 'filter system'
but..... having the ability to make your camera turn on 'flash' (your pov in admin spec for the filter system ||as the filter system is in both replay and admin||
would be a very tasty thing

[rough hollow]

Scrumptious, one might say.

[acoustic osprey]

it's just a bummer that the current filter system has a bodycam effect, though we can't even use it when using a human... and so, the bodycam effect basically cannot be used unless you have a VERY precise movement skill with a controller

[acoustic osprey]

quite so, quite so

[rough hollow]

If they developed a body cam effect similar to that of Backrooms: Escape Together (which is inherently useless apart from a singular task but just a cool feature for aesthetic) would be perfect.

[acoustic osprey]

like its cool but :((

something more, yeah, unique to the body cam effect would be very appreciated
if we can lock ourselves to human height as well

[acoustic osprey]

hi!!

[lime shore]

does someone have money to buy the isle im new

[acoustic osprey]

probably best to ask in #isle-discussion

[tribal bobcat]

In the lore, how does the dinos get the strains? Is it by eating strain plants etc? Also what are the perks so to say of each strain?
Like hyperendocrin is gigantic and strong as hell.

[tribal bobcat]

<@&933486433342222376>

[tribal bobcat]

Where and how did strains in The Isle happen? Like was it created by people in labs etc?

[quartz sundial]

i think thats the current idea. They were created artificially, maybe in tartarus? @acoustic osprey could explain it better im sure

[tulip coral]

I actually made the strains? I had a cold and hawked out a lugey out and it makes dinosaurs look crazy /j

[rough hollow]

This is what we have from Rumple's document.

Strains:
Strain Creation: Strain testing likely all occurred at one location (occurring at Tartarus in Legacy), and is not directly tied to the base creatures that the strain is applied to.
Hyperendocrin (Type-H): Significantly larger, stronger, and more dangerous than normal. Increased metabolism leads to inevitable starvation. Armored appearance.
Neurotenic (Type-N): Potentially can interact with the electromagnetic spectrum (as seen with Echidna/Neurotenic Mastermind). The NHJ (event) is linked to Neurotenics; however, to what degree? We are uncertain. However, IN LEGACY, expelled bio-materials that, when in contact with a living foreign body, were dangerous.
Tissoplastic (Type-T): Has better regeneration and can regenerate lost/destroyed limbs.

Strain Plants:
Metallivore: A metallic vine that grows over and consumes metal, eventually covering and maintaining the shape of things it has consumed, similar to strangler fig trees. Forms occasional leafy “knots” periodically along main roots/rootlike structures..
Mendys: A carnivorous plant with corms or spuds that uses clawlike thorns at each stem node to capture and kill prey. Its flowers change color just before it strikes, and it grows like ivy (potentially mimicking it to lull potential prey into a false sense of security). The name may translate to “bad liar” as a compound word of Latin and Greek origin, or relate to whoever created this Strain.
Razorbark: Essentially ‘living barbed wire’, sporting only heavily thorned branches and twigs with no/a lack of leaves. It can attach itself to almost anywhere within reason via little graspers that it uses to adhere to walls or other not-so-upright surfaces, which sprout from the base of a clump.
ArborBurst Redwood: From what we can see from artworks, the ‘ArborBursts’ have a ‘burst’ period containing extreme growth and a more armoured appearance with a unique bark-appearance. It is unclear if ArborBurst could refer to a parasitic plant that sprouts out and mimics certain traits of a host plant, if “ArborBurst Redwoods” are a modified type of redwood or ‘other’.

[tribal bobcat]

Thanks! So strain plants has nothing to do with dinos with strains? Like if a herbi eats a strain bush and becomes a strain?

[lethal moat]

It might, or it might not, it’s largely unknown for now

[tribal bobcat]

I see 👍 Cause i've been thinking of a video idea, concerning strains. How they will be implemented into the game without breaking it or smth. And how strains might get unlocked.

So i guess i could include that as in (a maybe) once i write the script.

[nimble fractal]

Where is my strains theoryhold on

Here
Just keep reading my messages

Only mine

[tribal bobcat]

Interesting, i'll for sure use the neurotenic theory's and etc! As this will be more of a might happen or theory video i guess lol. Like how they will change the game etc.

[nimble fractal]

[tribal bobcat]

[ornate comet]

My theory is that the isle is a video game about “dinosaurs”

Very controversial I know

[normal nest]

https://giphy.com/gifs/wth-luistt8n-dinosaur-wtf-ieRtGgdBKEXnRpxAed

[cosmic cipher]

no f#*%in way

[acoustic osprey]

honestly
maybe

i'm gonna add a bit on
but this is more theory craft work then actual lore at the moment

but our general theory on Strain plants / Strain Dino (animal) relation is with that one "Leakage" thing that caused 'big crabs' (CRAB LAW!!)

That being we do know Apollo was once (or still is? Depends where we place ourselves on the timeline, especially for Gateway) developing megaflora as a bit for a climate change solution,
-# does this have to be their only thing they did to try and help remedy climate change? Who knows, but it is at least one thing we know that AE have done

And so... a leak of the thing (assumedly, but no confirmation, probably some sort of liquid being put into the water) that was being 'fed' to the flora, which turned any or a specific targeted species of flora into megaflora, had enabled giant crabs

We don't know much after this butttttt...
This may or may not be related to the beginning of strains or just hyperendocrins. Especially seeing as both the thing being 'given' to the flora became megaflora and the crabs that accidently got exposed became big

[cosmic cipher]

The evrima acrocanthosaurus has a very FAT neck,

I hypothesize that the acro population found on the evrima islands suffer from a myostatin deficiency.
Myostatin: the hormone responsible for the regulation of muscular development.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.151270098

This could explain the high musculature
compared to the legacy acro which appears much more slender in build

This may suggest that Apollo engineering have selectively bred, or genetically altered the acrocanthosaurus individuals found on the evrima islands.

Not too dissimilar to the breeding of the belgium blue cow.

However it could be possible that inbreeding was used to achieve this result.

[acoustic osprey]

And so

this may have been some sort of proto-strain or proto-hyperendocrin strain 'in the works' by AE

Personally, i like to believe this potential Proto-H-Strain was solely made for all or most types of plants (whether above or below ground)
But, like the Procompies in the JP Novel with InGen, AE found out sooner or later
And so, potentially, found interest that this was affecting animals as well

What would push them to go down this rabbit hole?
Who knows ... maybe there was a larger idea to strains or the idea of modifying animals came from this
Etc etc, many many potential possibilities of why AE might have done Strains (or just Hypers)

Which, if this was the very first actual strain development...

Could confirm that strain plants, whether on purpose or not, may have been first (Helped by AE being founded upon Botany. Makes sense to be most specialised on them) then followed by Strain Dinos

Of course
The actual timeline of strains in general? Hypers, Tissos, Neuros (and the many strain plant types)? Who knows
If this truly was the first, then it might mean that the 'idea' / 'essence' of the Hyperendocrin strain was 'the first' of the lot

Potentially!

Hazzy time

[acoustic osprey]

may we truly have it...

it is different though
and not as sick as the hazmat suit in the troodon art

but... hazmat is still hazmat

[ionic fog]

In all the times of viewing this, I only just noticed the two troo peeking the left side

[acoustic osprey]

oh!

[rough hollow]

https://giphy.com/gifs/door-vacation-certain-qav3a2OPBdZoQ

[acoustic osprey]

honestly
I think the only thing missing is like an AE Logo somewhere on it

[rough hollow]

I am not kidding in the slightest, not even 5 mins ago, I was looking for branding on the suit.

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[nimble fractal]

I want to exterminate some hypsi with my flamethrower while wearing a protective hazmat suit

[torn monolith]

Poor Hypsi

[acoustic osprey]

lol

if it truly be a new Gen2 outfit
I wonder what other outfits they've done 👀

[torn monolith]

human fashion show when

[ornate comet]

That’s my desktop background

[acoustic osprey]

lol

honestly, i wouldn't mind making it mine as well

[plucky nest]

can someone tell me some basic lore of the isle

[lethal moat]

There is a whole lot we don’t know, this is most of what we do know https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J3FnAzKdtmlIYzTfgSlevTgGLcn8h-Zaxlqn3WEicVw/edit

[polar bramble]

every mans dream

[muted reef]

Hazmat dude?

[lethal moat]

Phase three

[nimble fractal]

Phase DC

[muted reef]

Yeah...

Is it just an easter egg or does this mean there actually is something lore based around this image

[torn monolith]

troos eating a human is quite scary

[muted reef]

I hope they are one of the species that natively have humans on their diet

And if not theres always the mutation

[acoustic osprey]

hopefully the latter

and a teaser that they're still working on humans in the background
like how they teased us in Dons stream that they were as well, last year

[muted reef]

https://klipy.com/gifs/joker-cope

Although it may relate to strains

[torn monolith]

so excited to see what else they will be showing us about humans when things start getting more ready with them

[muted reef]

Whether or not it's for radiation or something else is something to keep in mind

[acoustic osprey]

probably

honestly, its basically the same as the hazmat troodon suit
why did they need those suits in that situation at K15?

honestly
what if the leak (with the crab law) was just a precursor?

[muted reef]

I mean that region is very isolated in the jungle

[acoustic osprey]

but why have a hazmat?

[muted reef]

Strain plants? Preventing any contact with them

Interacting with them at all seems like a no no

[torn monolith]

the strains maybe can cause mutations over time if they come in any kind of contact with it? (breathing, liquids, ect.)

[muted reef]

Or what if there is some radiation on the island (unlikely)

[torn monolith]

doubtful, but could explain how everything is mutating

[muted reef]

could also be a reason for sending gen 2's instead of people if there was

Maybe they're resistant

[acoustic osprey]

in the middle of a ranger base
not in a seen closed 'environment' as we've seen with the original ArborBurst art from legacy and with the greenroom dome art of the drone quetz

Maybe it is, as you say, much more wider
Something alike the crab law leak but bigger, maybe these strain plants are a lot more dangerous to touch and to be around with (as you say)
Not only that, Neuro Goo likely being a thing because we have NHJs. Another thing you may need a hazmat

But again — in the middle (although middle-edge-ish) of K15, and thus ... a ranger station
Might infer that it truly is WIDE SPREAD
Potentially placing us in a 'post-incident(s)' scenario (I put the plural because we know it wasn't really one incident)

[nimble fractal]

Not like they just went from the basement where the labs with biochemical weapon/viruses/mutagens are, yeah, not
It's the Island radiation 1000%

[acoustic osprey]

or the hazmat suit and the art #isle-lore-theories message
are all for Gen2s (and not for 'normal people', as it may be when the time where only Gen2s are being sent to Gateway ... i.e. when we are playing on Gateway)

[muted reef]

I mean theres not much in k15

[muted reef]

Perchance

[nimble fractal]

There is not much anywhere
None of the buildings are finished

[muted reef]

I doubt that stuff would be in a ranger station

[acoustic osprey]

so so

[nimble fractal]

I doubt it is a ranger station at all </3

[acoustic osprey]

i have to kinda disagree
because all the ranger stations were literally redone in the end of the year

[muted reef]

https://tenor.com/view/loki-dont-just-dont-stop-gif-23310589

[nimble fractal]

EVen if so, they could be transporting the biochem stuff, why not to use the hazmat if you are constantly under the risk

[acoustic osprey]

sure they might not have a lot of 'interior' to them
but they have been overhauled, and thus is taken in consideration for world building

[muted reef]

Isn't that kind of what GUTS is for

[nimble fractal]

If only GUTS didn't explode themselves........ 😔 🙏

We will miss them dearly

[acoustic osprey]

in the middle of the night, at the back-middle side of K15 (we know these are ranger stations from Jace),
with only two people with flashlights. They seem to be looking for their third mate (dead, of course)

[muted reef]

https://klipy.com/gifs/paul-baumer-looking-broken-as-he-stares-ahead-to-the-battlefield-all-quiet-on-the-western-front

[nimble fractal]

We don't know the full backstory

[acoustic osprey]

from Vis' quote, at least

Thus we scrapped it for the time being.
Not removed it.

Hopefully seems like they're still in lore, but we won't get the full thing any time soon

[acoustic osprey]

but visually we can detail a lot
Fred has good story telling

[muted reef]

yeah that's what I assumed

[nimble fractal]

Maybe I should use italic more to look more lore-istic

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/855527844670865438/1476480921665274027/giphy-downsized-large.gif

[muted reef]

Use bolds to confirm what stuff is

Ranger station

[acoustic osprey]

i like italics :((
stop bullying me

but from this we can see

2 hazmats coming out of the side of a building door with flashlights
Either unaware or alerted of troodons (the hordes...) presence
And likely alerted to the death or screams of a 'human'

Occams would infer this is more 'crap, we don't know whats happening. We have to go outside...'

[muted reef]

Well it doesn't look like they got there very quick with the state of the body

Even if there a lot of them most of the bones outside of his head and arm are picked clean

Upon further inspection he still has pants

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
probably tried checking up 'on the radio' for the fella
but no response

[muted reef]

Upon even further inspection I just noticed the two troodons front center for the firs ttime

I now am in the mood to play troodon

[acoustic osprey]

the ones at the front? it seems like a lot of us are realising now lol

[torn monolith]

there is even more troos than just the 4 ones we can see behind the corner of the building, you can see so many pairs of eyes

[muted reef]

Yeah I counted 14

[torn monolith]

waiting...hungry....

[acoustic osprey]

quite like that one tribal artwork

the eyes... eyes... watching...

[torn monolith]

which one?

[acoustic osprey]

not as menacing though

[muted reef]

What even were these guys back in the day lmao

[torn monolith]

so cool still

[torn monolith]

tribal cannibal humans, the end

[nimble fractal]

Look if I was sent to The island and I had to choose between wearing OG John Cake baseball clothes or some kind of hazmat protection I would not go to The Island

[muted reef]

Well I know that but like...what are they

[torn monolith]

humans, but different

[acoustic osprey]

probably some sort of 'tribal type'
Seeing as there were to be three different types of Tribals in old legacy

now we know that Tribals (Gen1s) are not just 'one thing'
so likely this

[muted reef]

Eyeless, cannibals, native american archetype?

[acoustic osprey]

meanwhile, they have been modelled fully nude and there were convos in spawning fully naked

[nimble fractal]

Ok I won't
for now

[muted reef]

It's literally skull island

[acoustic osprey]

no, haha

three types of "Gen1s"

[muted reef]

The orcs, the tribals, and...the eyeless?

[acoustic osprey]

no
let me get the art

[nimble fractal]

Does that change the fact that if you find one, you wouldn't wear it? </3

[acoustic osprey]

this concept

[nimble fractal]

[nimble fractal]

That's like 2014 level stuff

I wish

[muted reef]

So they're deadass just humans

[acoustic osprey]

fully naked, in a tropical environment
Would you get the protection of clothing or not?

In despertation
we sometimes do what we must to survive

[nimble fractal]

Yeah

[nimble fractal]

literally what I said

[acoustic osprey]

no ...
as in, this concept of Tribals having alternative designs/versions of themselves

which we have with current Gen1s as well

[acoustic osprey]

your sentence is mixed

[muted reef]

They look pretty normal to me

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-tired-sleep-deprived-exhausted-sleep-deprivation-gif-3654455578281021969

[nimble fractal]

At this point I find it easier to simply forget what we know before Evrima and just roll with it

[acoustic osprey]

i don't mean they would've been using that old vega design for the Tribal artwork

[muted reef]

But that dudes got a beard

[acoustic osprey]

that being, we always had this idea of Gen1s having unique paths and not just 'being same design'

because that is the human art of the dossier :((

[muted reef]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ragebait-monkey

[acoustic osprey]

pain

[muted reef]

https://klipy.com/gifs/whats-in-the-box-timothee-chalamet

[muted reef]

That's cool though. Are we getting different "factions" or more so something like different subspecies

[nimble fractal]

Should I name myself darktalon as a counterpart of lightclaw
because of my bold italic power

[nimble fractal]

I just wish we get something first before expanding into faction branches

[acoustic osprey]

the left side of this
we had a tribal one of the human one i sent
which looked like the art on the left of this

[muted reef]

I'm assuming we still don't know what they are

[nimble fractal]

The guy on the left looks friendly

[acoustic osprey]

with Gen1s
probably not factions
but different types

[muted reef]

We did see they vary greatly in the art

[acoustic osprey]

but definitely some sort of Alt Tribal

[acoustic osprey]

yes yay
you get it yay

[nimble fractal]

Okay so we are
lightclaw
catag
darktalon

[muted reef]

It would be cool to see people themselves making different factions

[torn monolith]

you warrior cats now?

[muted reef]

The tribunal

[nimble fractal]

It might just go through the gameplay process itself

Mutations for humans! Time to evolve! Get me this reabsorption mutation

[muted reef]

It probably is a skull island situation

Or the echidna did something to them

Or dozens of other ideas

We'll never know unless Dondi makes the highly anticipated media piece that covers all of legacy's scrapped lore that he will 100% make later down the line

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/sal-sal-vulcano-cat-impractical-jokers-stare-gif-12535907657513252909

[acoustic osprey]

i need my human mafias....

[torn monolith]

I wish we were told what is not relevant anymore from the old lore to make things less confusing

[nimble fractal]

I want a raptor pack to follow my bike 😔

[acoustic osprey]

i really hope Echidna is the true "Carrier" for NHJs

[muted reef]

You and your friends can make a gang of X tribe using X mutations to fill out X niche (ex: aquatic stuff for fishers, QoL for traditional jungle gameplay, combat for brutes, etc.)

I would 100% go aquatic mut gen 1

[acoustic osprey]

to be honest
I do like going through the lore catalogues

but best to assume everything is nothing till its mentioned or confirmed

like i remember my talks with Rumple, teaching him about EIPs
pre-confirmation (basically pre-TOMB)

I had to remind myself that i push back a lot because
as exciting as EIPs were, we had literally nothing saying they're coming back

but maybe one day we'll finally have some better EIP dialogue in Evrima lore though...

[torn monolith]

I hope for more lore when they show us the (assumably) video where the austro gif is from

https://media.giphy.com/media/Qe8QDJP0vXf085vLyF/giphy.gif

[acoustic osprey]

probably not, if anything 😔
looks like a standard trailer

[muted reef]

Lore situation kinda feels like that one orc from lotr

[torn monolith]

Never give up hope!

[acoustic osprey]

especially if you saw the other leaked teaser

[muted reef]

Other leaked teaser??

[muted reef]

Then they all get slaughtered and never ended up getting to eat anything other than maggoty bread...

[acoustic osprey]

but replacing three, for last year, with one whole year 😔

we've had worse but... yeah. What a pain that was.

[muted reef]

We may end up like that

[acoustic osprey]

the end is never :))

[muted reef]

I mean it's really easy to wait when you just step away for months at a time

[torn monolith]

Me past two months ngl

[acoustic osprey]

or if you're like me
and just glue yourself ever, sooo much, that everything becomes a blur...

to be honest
I just find business in work and Uni
and so things just fly by

[muted reef]

Rex dropped and I stopped playing cause the launch was a disaster

Then stuff was fixed but I am back now

[acoustic osprey]

yay

[torn monolith]

I just got tired of seeing rexes everywhere I looked and waited for people to get it out of their system, some have but there will be always those dedicated

[muted reef]

Also did dibble AI get removed/fixed? Haven't seen any yet migration is still eternally stuck at delta all the time

[torn monolith]

it was disabled for time being

[acoustic osprey]

oh

was going through old concepts in the fandom
someone i've never seen this before

[torn monolith]

would be cool if humans get a "guide" on the creatures in the game

[acoustic osprey]

seems to have been from a dondi stream

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

the glance sheets

shame that GUTS never came
we were supposed to have some around in the Admin/Industrial Hub... :((

[torn monolith]

[acoustic osprey]

my wish is to actually be able to hold all lore documents
which would be amazing

but if not
being able to use the terminal and download these files would be amazing

[torn monolith]

agreed, which would make human like actually a beginner creature to pick in the game if they were able to collect all of this information and learn

[acoustic osprey]

unless they're as helpful as the glance sheets 😉

(this is a funny reference to the glance sheets all being referred to, in their download, as 'unhelpful documentation')

[torn monolith]

oh lol i see i see

[muted reef]

I mean they don't seem utterly useless

[muted reef]

It might since they got that new...thing for the buildings

[acoustic osprey]

what are you referring to

[acoustic osprey]

they're definite glance worthy sheets

as much as i love lore
they're probably the weakest bits of lore and documents — probably because they're easy to write. Probably

ah yes
this thing

i wish someone responded to me to what they saw

@tribal bobcat do you remember WHAT was shown from Visualtech

however, we also did get a sneaky reply about Monorails from VisualTech

[muted reef]

No not that

It was in the devblogs

Devblog 66 Visualtech's section

[acoustic osprey]

oh you mean with LAB IX?

[muted reef]

"This month has been given to optimization and getting a lot of our buildings ready for the new optimized decal shader that is now in. Previously, we were restricted by the nature of Unreal’s way of storing specific information. The buildings are now properly being culled by both the server and the client.

With this, we should be seeing far less performance issues across the board with our human POIs, and locations and loading times. However, this new decal shader allows us to paint what we had before anywhere in the world, without many restrictions and time loss, keeping the same aesthetics as before."

[acoustic osprey]

oh you mean the optimisation

Vis still talked about Z Culling with GUTS a few days ago
so i think they're still having issues with it, or from that Z Culling issue, they just pushed it way back (even if it is now easier to put in)

[muted reef]

Regardless of guts that is amazing cause entering docks turns you computer into a flipbook

[acoustic osprey]

one hopes :))

human areas do be the worst
so hopefully we do get it better for performance

[muted reef]

Them new trees are gonna be costly though

What i remember is like a system of tunnels but from a bird view. And like art style. Or possibly buildings connecting with hallways.. i dunno tbh. He showed it for a second then he deleted it. But it looked very familiar to GUTS tbh

[acoustic osprey]

hmm

[acoustic osprey]

was it specifically tunnels? Or did it just look like things interconnecting (likey potentially paths)?
nonetheless, interesting

[tribal bobcat]

Doesnt have to be tunnels, it looked like things interconneting indeed. Like pathways or how you say. So yeah interesting as hell.. only if visual could post in phase 3 monthly or smth

[acoustic osprey]

hmmm

[merry zodiac]

Do they have the big crab model though

[quartz sundial]

i want beeg crab :(

[tribal bobcat]

Are strains meant to be an endgame feature? like after elder stage? or is it via mutations?

[acoustic osprey]

#isle-lore-theories message
just this

[strange shell]

They're not meant to be something you encounter with every playthrough
Not even 1/10 playthroughs

[tribal bobcat]

Yeah, so how could they "possibly" be unlocked then?

[strange shell]

That's not something we're supposed to know

[tribal bobcat]

okay .. then i don't include that in my script i guess, or i could maybe have a theory

[acoustic osprey]

once the old elder description teased at it

Elders are larger, more powerful variations of the adult stage of life. They are only accessible by following certain diet and perk pathways. While elders start off stronger than the highest tier adult of their species, over time they depreciate in strength until time releases them from their reign. You may choose to embrace death and die with a bonus you can apply to that species later on. Or, depending on your species, you can forfeit reward, deny the reaper for a time and extend your reign as something far more terrifying.

[tribal bobcat]

interesting

[tribal bobcat]

also do you guys have a collection of the strain concept arts in lorecord?

could use some in my video when i talk about them

[acoustic osprey]

are you in the archive discord?

[tribal bobcat]

yeah

[nimble fractal]

Acro

[tribal bobcat]

i can't find nothing

i mean like old arts, cause i we con't have anything new besides the hyper rex

[acoustic osprey]

oh like the original art

because roon has all the new/Evrima strain arts only

[tribal bobcat]

yeah saw that

[acoustic osprey]

nuh uh

https://isle.fandom.com/wiki/The_Isle_Concept_art
https://isle.fandom.com/wiki/Concept_Art

the fandom has a bunch of old stuff

its where i stumble upon things at times

like this funny thing

[tribal bobcat]

thanks lightclaw

[acoustic osprey]

no worries

[tribal bobcat]

also damn, such much "old" lore things i haven't seen before lol

[acoustic osprey]

yeah! It is a bit surprisng
the best archive we have

because a lot of old photos i try and find here are all gone
for various amount of reasons

[tribal bobcat]

oh, god this makes me realise how little lore we have for evrima 😭

or lore concept arts etc

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
more specifically concept art and little photo nitbits of sneak peaks

[tribal bobcat]

true

[acoustic osprey]

i'll send a bunch of stuff i have on my folder though (which is incomplete)

Hyperendocrins

Neurotenics

Tissoplastics

Strain Raptors

Old ArborBursts / ArbourBursts

[tribal bobcat]

Woah thanks!! also those tree's, what are they supposed to be? the source of the strain mutation or just strain trees?

[acoustic osprey]

ArborBurst Trees

from lore doc:

ArborBurst /ArbourBurst Redwood: From what we can see from artworks, the ‘ArborBursts’ have a ‘burst’ period containing extreme growth and a more armoured appearance with a unique bark-appearance. It is unclear if ArborBurst could refer to a parasitic plant that sprouts out and mimics certain traits of a host plant, if “ArborBurst Redwoods” are a modified type of redwood or ‘other’.

(as you can see though, the legacy art also has a potential arborburst ceiba tree. So not restricted to just redwoods it seems)

[tribal bobcat]

Oh thats cool, i think i'll stick with the dino strains cause otherwise it'll be too much to write and lore lol. But i appreciate the help light 🙏 don't want my video to be too long either, my sweet spot is like 3 - 7 minutes. Wanna keep my videos short and "kinda" interesting i guess to keep the attention span lol

[acoustic osprey]

yeah definitely

if you want to complicate it
i think i gave you my theory on a potential plant strain + dino/animal strain connection

[tribal bobcat]

Sounded a bit complicated indeed lol, think i'll stick the easy parts so i don't spread that much missinformation in my video lol. I'll mention what the dino strains are and do, and how to "possibly" unlock them, and how rare it should be. Then finish it of with a summary of some sort

[merry zodiac]

Thats not its own model i dont think

[acoustic osprey]

it probably is, honestly
knowing it'd just be an extra few hundred for just 'big version of pre-existing model'

shouldn't really need to be a unique model for it
unless Don wants to monsterfy the crab law, mayhaps

[acoustic osprey]

fair fair
good luck

[merry zodiac]

I think that would be the case, who doesn’t like monster crab, also theres three different sizes, it wouldn’t be Don like not to make each one cool

[viral lion]

is it even lore theories?

[rough hollow]

Lore discussion would make more sense.

[tribal bobcat]

Do someone have that neurotenic spino laying inside a lab art?

[tribal bobcat]

ty!

[pine rose]

whatg server were you playing on at the time?

why did you try and link

[marsh pilot]

The Dry Reef

[pine rose]

HOP OFF LEGACY!

[marsh pilot]

NUH UH

I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT NO

[pine rose]

switch to evrima by click the isle right click it and click properties then game versions and betas then switch to evrima, its the current updated version

[marsh pilot]

ah ok

[marsh pilot]

im on default public version

[pine rose]

ya ik

[marsh pilot]

so what does switching to that version even do?

[pine rose]

gives a complete different game, all the content creators you have watched most likely play on evrima as legacy/default got discontinued 6 years back

[marsh pilot]

oh

so what does it do exacllt like do i get more dinos?

[pine rose]

I cant really explain it, just play it and see which you like more

[river marsh]

Legacy is grow your dino and chase peoples tails to kill them.

Evrima has new abilities per dino, new dinos, diets to make you grow faster and give you stat buffs, mutations to buff your dino or give it special abilities, diving, flying, fishing, etc, and a new map compared to Legacy.

[marsh pilot]

oooooo

[viral lion]

this is not lore theories at this point anyways is the sanctuary in lore actually a sanctuary or more of a contaiment unit thing

[acoustic osprey]

it is lore theories!!!

but new people do manage to stumble here for some reason
when isle discussion exists

[marsh pilot]

what do i do

[viral lion]

install easy anti cheat

it will be in the game folder

[marsh pilot]

where?

[viral lion]

go to steam then steamapps then common and in it The Isle and then just instlal easy anticheat there should be the installer

or at least i had it there

in file explorer

[marsh pilot]

where do i find steamapps

[viral lion]

installanticheat.bat

inside steam folder

[marsh pilot]

wheres steam folder

[viral lion]

idk if u put it somewhere it should be just in the disk

like i have steam just in D: disk

or do u have the isle from epic games???

[marsh pilot]

from steam

[viral lion]

kk

[marsh pilot]

im so dumb i cant find it

[viral lion]

first js find steam folder and then it will be easy to find all

try to search Steam in the search bar

[marsh pilot]

i think i found it

[viral lion]

k

[viral lion]

uh

i mean like Steam folder

an folder

[marsh pilot]

oh

i dont have a steam folder

[viral lion]

u shall have it breh

[marsh pilot]

????

[viral lion]

i guess that its it

open it and inside it find steamapps

[marsh pilot]

this is the only things that shows up

[viral lion]

uh

idk breh i guess try searching straight to steamapps

u can search straight to it if u are nto inside a folder but inside the disk

[marsh pilot]

this is so hard wtf

[viral lion]

find it yet?

[marsh pilot]

nope

tutorial time

[viral lion]

k

[marsh pilot]

HEYYYY

[viral lion]

WAT

[marsh pilot]

LESS GOOOO

[viral lion]

U FIND STEAM APPS OR WAT

[marsh pilot]

tutorial help

[viral lion]

K

[marsh pilot]

thanks for helpoing tho

[viral lion]

kk

also if u dont want to be scared for life dont play the us official server 5

i just heard the eyeless creature sounds

[marsh pilot]

uh oh

[viral lion]

if u dont know what it is just

ama show u a vid of the sounds and just if u hear it run

that crackling sound

[marsh pilot]

uhhh

so if i hear that i run???

[viral lion]

yes

if u dont want to be jumpscared by him and rippen a part ur limbs dismembered

[marsh pilot]

OH FAH

[viral lion]

also uh the best thing in future updates are gonna be strains like tissoplastic neurotenic and hyperedocrin anddddddddddddddddddddddddddd this is an hyperedocrin gigantosaurus

[marsh pilot]

so i donty join us server 5

[viral lion]

yes

but the strains aint in there they admin only for now and barely finished and mostly admin only legacy version

[marsh pilot]

ok ok

[viral lion]

also go to steam like the app not folder and right click on the isle then go to properties then beta versions and change to evrima if u havent yet

[rough hollow]

[viral lion]

i know i just was helping here to rojo

[viral lion]

is the sanctuary a sanctuary or an evil scary contaiment unit built by apollo engineering

[fast forge]

Trees creaking

[civic pollen]

i have never heard that sound in game before.

[gaunt dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-traumatized-cat-gif-7852054576948114551

That’s the crackling sound that I think eyeless make or some sort of mutant human thingy

But it sounds kinda edited in that video

I don’t think we can hear that anywhere on gateway

[viral lion]

some people said it kinda sounds like the crabs so i guess its the crabs sounds x trees creaking overlayed

[tribal bobcat]

this place is rotting my brain..

[viral lion]

go to isle discussion it wil rot even more

[tribal bobcat]

no i can't.. at least here its more peaceful, lore protects us!!

[hexed forge]

https://klipy.com/gifs/crab-rave-11

[viral lion]

i need anwsers its the eyeless more like a gen 0 human or gen 1.5 human or like the tissoplastic reaper or hyperedocrin collosus

[rough thorn]

It would be really cool if in lore the troodon's venom is actually delivered through the claw as opposed to from the mouth, explainibg why it must pounce to deliver it. Tho i can also understand the whole "it needs to have a good grip to chew the venom into a target" point of view. I just think it would be neat if it was a claw based delivery system

[acoustic osprey]

i know you're muted but i'll still answer

because its a bit iffy and we have no true answer yet

[tranquil flume]

[acoustic osprey]

but basically
The Eyeless (no official name yet) have been given a description from dondi that they are like gen1.5

So likely they are/were made inbetween the development of Gen1s and Gen2s
Why? Who knows
In legacy, Don had said their actual name would reveal the certain way to get them
And thus, it seems like Eyeless have a special task or thing to be achieved

In my opinion
I would not be surprised if Eyeless were those of the Echidna
Seeing as Eyeless are eyeless which is very much like Neurotenics (Echidna being the Neurotenic Mastermind)

Eyeless could potentially be Echidna's custom made 'minions', picked from the best of the best Gen1s
Maybe the best or the most loyalist Gen1s that praised Echidna more then the replicator?
But, we really don't know how that'll all work with the replicator, praising, and the like

[jagged glen]

I honestly thought you were talking about echidna as in the animal instead of a person(?), I must learn more lore it seems

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

i'll make it quick (coming from our lore doc)

Echidna (Also known as the Neurotenic Mastermind and The Mother of Cannibals), she is a humanoid Neurotenic strain, most likely Gen 1 or 2.

However ... we don't know what we 'truly' is...

She is able to perfectly replicate the voice of a human (especially the ones she's killed) and transmit it out via short-range transmissions to lure in unsuspecting humans, as if a siren.
She was also known to have a relationship with The Eyeless/Cannibals in Legacy. To what degree? We don't know - could be, like i said in that message before, something where Echidna turns Gen1s into Eyeless, potentially some sort of bodyguard or elite class she can make. Or potentially as a punishment... we don't really know

She was also given the description of "Carrier" by Dondi a few years back
which may link to NHJs (The neurotenic-related zombie lore ... i.e. the zombie event from last year and the year prior)
That being, potentially, a 'redo' of the "Neuro-Goo" topic brought up in legacy lore once ||the term Neuro Goo being a fan-term|| ... and so Echidna potentially being 'the carrier' of the NHJ 'Virus' and spreads it

but we shall see!

we did get a lore thing for NHJs

but, sadly, Dondi he locked it away...
(as in, probably something we won't see for a while till Don and the team want lore on the forefront. Bummers for us now, but oh well)

but hey! Maybe we'll see some stuff in the next update

fingers are crossed we get LAB IX

all it needs is that lighting from the concept artworks and bam... perfect

man
it truly looks like that one scene from Harry Potter

-# but in this case, pipes. Lol

[tribal bobcat]

Lol, i bet you will get lost in there

[acoustic osprey]

seeing as GUTS was supposed to...
i'll take the interior pipes and drainage of The Atrium 🫡

[tribal bobcat]

Real

Also imagine in future if you get lost and are stuck in there with a strain or smth .. i'd crap my pants and log out 😭

[acoustic osprey]

:))

WhiteFalcon has brought up the question
Would the redwoods engulf I12

[tribal bobcat]

If this is near current Highlands.. there might be chance that it is Redwoods. Looking at the stream dondi did. Cause the area for Redwoods was humongous!!

[acoustic osprey]

yeah!
And yeah, it's basically half a minute walk to Highlands (you can see the highlands rocks to the left)

[tribal bobcat]

Yep, cause if not mistaken he walked near Highlands or in Highlands? Like it didn't exist or smth lol. I hope Highlands isn't completely gone.. cause man they've been slaughtering that place looked way more beautiful before the one we have atm.

[acoustic osprey]

hmmmm

yeah, old highlands was amazing
if they remove highlands fully with redwoods

I don't mind
but, old highlands were really beautifully

[quartz sundial]

i mind 😢

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/sal-sal-vulcano-cat-impractical-jokers-stare-gif-12535907657513252909

[tribal bobcat]

When i think about it.. i'd rather also have Redwoods lol. Current Highlands looks ass.. it doesnt have that feeling anymore like it used to. Also that Savannah like biome we'll have IS so beautiful!! Might be the best looking biome they have made so far.. cause lets be real. Redwoods is cool, but its just Redwoods

[acoustic osprey]

agreed!

[quartz sundial]

was a savannah biome shown?

[tribal bobcat]

Giving Savannah wibes

[quartz sundial]

it doesnt look as yellow as highlands, which i'd miss

maybe it will be on release though

[acoustic osprey]

Ah, so Frolo has put it on ?

so it actually might be redwooded

[tribal bobcat]

This is by south plains iirc, Redwoods looks different in atmosphere etc

Kougas recap on it has some redwood clips.

https://youtu.be/xilgl467Z_k?is=d0MLlS3hARxcuvNN

[slate pewter]

Allosaurus Pride lands

[ionic sable]

The question mark near river delta is just "regular" updated jungles, not redwoods.

There is a pretty big section of stream where he is running around there along the ridge, and no redwoods are visible.

[slate pewter]

What would be the name of 0.22?

Lost in Woods?

[ionic sable]

We also have a shot looking towards the volcano and there might be redwoods on the southeast side.

[acoustic osprey]

@pine rose

[ionic sable]

Yeah I think it extends to the base of the atrium, but only to that corner, the rest of that area leading to the swamp is just jungle.

[slate pewter]

The fog adds a lot

[pine rose]

yea

I didnt update map, I already confirmed that 😛

[slate pewter]

The Isle started to look like Crysis

[pine rose]

still crackpot theory

[pine rose]

nah it has started to look like Sons of the forest

[ionic sable]

Love the new atmospherics but good lord its still so washed out color wise.

[acoustic osprey]

we're almost gone full circle back to temperate...

[pine rose]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

i think its more interesting
but we certainly need to try it

[slate pewter]

SoF is on Unity

Crysis is on Crytec which is closer to UE5 than Unity

[pine rose]

atleast they are somewhat trying to make the gmae look good again

[pine rose]

im saying more of just how the game feels

not on a technical level

[slate pewter]

Oh okay

[slate pewter]

Do you like the fan made name for 0.22

Lost in the Woods

[acoustic osprey]

yeah

[ionic sable]

I think washed out would be fine... if the contrast wasnt so extreme. Parts hit by the sun are nearly bleached white while the shadows remain extremely dark.

If the shadows felt softer I think I would be fine with the lack of color, since thats something that can be tweaked by the user. What cannot be corrected is the contrast between light and shadow, and the colors of the scene as a whole.

Another thing I kinda wish was more focused on was the ambient lighting of the whole scene. One of the biggest things of Update 4 for me was the feeling of the whole night being blue, not just the environment, but the creatures were shrouded in it as well. Right now it feels kinda flat. Like during the day it feels like, other than everything being blasted by the sun, there isnt anything to really tie it all together y'know?

God I really struggle to explain things when I'm this tired.

It feels like my brain is repeatedly failing a speech check whenever I start typing.

[ionic sable]

Yes.

I finally care about the next update again.

[acoustic osprey]

i think it was perfect!!!!

[acoustic osprey]

look if this update has LAB IX

it'll be perfect

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-rowan-atkinson-spot-light-fall-dropped-gif-4308769

Will?

The Dome gives me serious Aperture vibes

I love how there's a sewer system inside it

[ornate comet]

I think it would be really cool if the water access facility connected to other facilities and some bodies of water

Tons of people have already said this tho so I’m not unique

[acoustic osprey]

hm?

[acoustic osprey]

there were windows in the old GUTS entrances that always gave me aperture vibes

like someone watching the little man from above

Where is the replicator located is it in the dome 👀

Definitely aperture or valve vibes for sure

[acoustic osprey]

was actually mentioned a bit earlier in isle discussion

But here is the full Don quote

Don — 10/04/2024 12:35
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.

#isle-lore-theories message

but very neatly and excitedly, its something Dondi would like to have in a future game (IF a future game happens at all)

[knotty locust]

i have two, conflicting hopes for the physical design of the replicator

giant amalgamation of machines that all cross wires and tubes (like glados from portal)

singular, old box PC monitor with a keyboard and a hidden desktop that isnt seen

[acoustic osprey]

of course!!

[acoustic osprey]

hm?

[languid escarp]

Soma is a game, and it’s horrific, if you haven’t played it you definitely should

If you like horror that is. Existential horror

[acoustic osprey]

mmmmm, interesting

[frozen totem]

A story driven isle game would be sick 👀

[languid escarp]

The successor of the game is coming this year, Ontos. There is really nothing like Soma. I’m gonna be getting it

[frozen totem]

dang we really getting all Sorna up in here

[acoustic osprey]

sometimes, isle lore gave some interesting existential questions to ponder
only a bit, but a far philsophical than pure existential i suppose

but i shall put it on my list
sounds interesting!

[languid escarp]

It’s a phenomenal game and leaves you questioning what it really means to be…. Human..

To be human is to be a homo sapiens with a soul and free will
Bam you can thank me later

[acoustic osprey]

and yet, do we have free will?

[frozen totem]

uh, yeah

[acoustic osprey]

do Gen2s have free will?

do EIPs, presumably (going off legacy), still pertain as human? Coming from the mind of a human
but the body of something quite different

but maybe the rebuilding of the ship, the mind, potentially slowly erodes away the humanity once left from the original...

[languid escarp]

You will like SOMA lol

like the sea humbling the rock...

[languid escarp]

Plz play 🙏🏻

[acoustic osprey]

i'll play it right now!!!! (I can't...)

[frozen totem]

now thats a good question

[alpine lynx]

well, maybe?

i wonder, if we connect an EIP to a BCI machine, would it be able to answer the questions asked, or simply just talk

[ionic sable]

You absolutely should play SOMA

[alpine lynx]

or does the transformation of the human mind to a "dinosaur" body limit the thoughts, or overall basic human thinking, talking and stuff

also, is every "dinosaur" made by AE EIP?, or just few or them are?

[acoustic osprey]

if we look at the death screen, they have some form of communication

but thats legacy
however, put back into Evrima
so... maybe

[alpine lynx]

was augustus a EIP? there was a theory

[alpine lynx]

it would honestly be interesting to question a "dinosaur" about its survival tactics, knowledge of other species and other stuff

[nimble fractal]

I have been thinking about a pretty horrifying concept recently

Defective Gen 2's

If AE had some accidents during the human replication, how do they hide it, or do they even have to
What do we classify such Gen 2's as?
How does it look like?

If so, do defective replicated humans just slowly melt down into a humanoid creature during their lifes?

Or they simply die

I can see it being a concept that occured during the proccess of "turning Gen 1 into a normal human"

1.5

Being the middle ground

[fast forge]

tbh cancer is more likely

[nimble fractal]

Or a cardiac arrest or a memory loss

Another question if anyone knows; are colossus and the cannibal mother(?) still canon?

Sorry I don’t remember her name, I think it was the mastermind

[rough hollow]

We're not sure.

For now, they're not in-lore I believe.

Until we get more material based on them.

We’ve heard bits about the Echidna, but nothing substantial

The whole game looks better in this ss for some reason. Grass, lighting, something

[violet crypt]

would make sense??

[muted reef]

You know, with them replacing all their placeholders with their own models...maybe they may do some for some lore 🤷

[acoustic osprey]

soon

[acoustic osprey]

yes

more specifically Echidna though (Neurotenic Mastermind / Mother of of Cannibals

Dondi had a longer comms on her when we asked about what her purpose will be in Evrima
Where, specifically, he replied with the gif that said "CARRIER"

https://tenor.com/view/dee-strange-gordon-travis-darnaud-gif-25377283

a theory on what 'carrier' could mean is likely related to that zombie event we had last year and the year prior
In lore, called "NHJs"

this theory, then, being she is the carrier of the 'virus' (NHJ)

Supported by two things:

1. Neuros have been confirmed to be a connected to NHJs (thus, likely being "Neurotenic H ... J...)
2. In legacy lore, we had an unofficial term called "Neuro Goo" which relates to this quote:

ANY PERSONNEL EXPOSED TO DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANY TYPE-N BIO-MATERIALS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED EXPENDABLE AND EXPUNGED ALONG WITH ANY BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTS FROM CODE ECHIDNA-(3 LETTERS) DO NOT REPLICATE.

-# Which is something we have theorised to be essentially neurotenic 'goo', (literally whatever/however we can imagine "Neuro Bio Materials" to be like, that when touched may likely 'neuro-ify' — POTENTIALLY. However, that is a legacy thing and doesn't affect us anymore ...

however... seeing as we have NHJs
This might re-confirm the old legacy idea of Neuro Goo, and then also supports our theory now on NHJs being something for Neuros to zombify; whether to zombify completely into Neuros or potentially into some sort of Neuro Drone (aka. a proper zombie) ...
OR, more specifically, Echidna being that proper 'NHJ carrier' — she being the one to start 'the virus' whenever she wants

To what gain? To what benefit?
Maybe there is none, maybe it is a natural thing that just happens with Echidna
maybe other Neuros can do it but a lot less powerfully as her

Depends
We don't truly know outside of theories yet

however Colossus

Thats a bit more precarious
My "yes" answer to you is a bit iffy

All we have of the big fella is that his design might change
Dondi, a few years back, replying to a message saying 'don't you go changing'

So, maybe his design might change
Maybe he's purpose may change
Maybe something bigger about colossus may change
but the idea of Colossus, or the essence of Colossus, seems to still exist

...

This all ignores the obvious Dondi doing the big timeline document in the beginning of last year
Which could've easily erased or redone a lot what was said

Maybe we'll get answers soon
Maybe right now! But maybe not

[feral mortar]

the big 3 of the strains i'm not really concerned with as far as in game, tho their lore is really peaking my interest. my hope is we continue to see all the previously confirmed (in legacy) strain-variant dinos in game, and see them at their full potential.

the strains and lore as a whole feel kinda sidelined and I get that from a development standpoint, but I am starving rn for some big lore stuff

[acoustic osprey]

yeah...

I don't even see them coming outside of mods, unless we're really lucky lol

[acoustic osprey]

you should’ve been here last year before we got the INTRUDER and Trike TCAM video...

a whole year and a half of pretty much radio silence

besides a dondi message or two

i dont think we'll see colossus, the other 2 i think there's a good chance, especially with um, the bat thing? getting a redesign recently

[acoustic osprey]

You should see the similarities with the new hyper rex lol

[spiral wasp]

Oh?

[acoustic osprey]

ye
honestly, it kinda surprised me when we saw the elder rex's first teaser ages ago

with how similar it is with its Hyperendocrin version

[frosty root]

Do you think theyll be reworking the other hypers aswell? For example giga considering its getting a new model

[acoustic osprey]

probably yeah
Seeing Giga has a new model

I wouldn't be surprised!

[rough hollow]

And Spino too.

[acoustic osprey]

ye

H Spino is just subadult Rex part 2!!

insert that one Hope. image of Spino's face looking like rex

[frosty root]

i honestly think spino wont get a change

the hyper model looks very close to the evrima one

they mightve even changed spino base model to fit the hyper model more

there used to be theories of that floating around when the hope trailer came out

[twin magnet]

This artwork is so beautiful.

[acoustic osprey]

agreed

OMG I JUST FOUND SOMETHING

[feral mortar]

Whatcha got

[rough hollow]

Light if this is some April Fools joke.

sorry was i fooling on april

i chose the evil path (and thus, lore is likely delayed because of my evil doings)

[lethal moat]

If it’s under the map near the docks, no, that’s been there forever

[placid wren]

its under the ocean floor off the coast of Water Access its the old Northern Jungle base

[lethal moat]

Coolio

[placid wren]

the ominous white cube lol

[sonic vale]

weird…

[placid wren]

this one says cave ending

[torn monolith]

a cave huh...

[sonic vale]

it’s kinda funny that stuff is left in the game for actual builds

[placid wren]

right under here a cave?

[torn monolith]

tbh it could happen, it has the space and landscape for it

[sonic vale]

hopefully some cool stuff going on there, or even just a cool cave to live in would be neat

[placid wren]

and the block is finda deep so if there would be a caver it would be a bigass one

[sonic vale]

hopefully some lore inside…

oh it’s right by the dome? that’s pretty interesting

[torn monolith]

a cave system perhaps?
it could become good place to nest as a group because nothing can get in without getting killed or cool place to explore?

[placid wren]

i just realized smth

[sonic vale]

the issue is herbis prob can’t see down there, so just carnivores most likely

unless there’s lights. which is possible

wouldent mind like a weird man made cave with some computers and a lab or something

[placid wren]

the first one has a white tube connected to it (cave entrance?) and the other one says cave ending so is it a 1 big cave that would be sooo cool

[torn monolith]

would be very cool indeed

i hope we get more than just that one, we already have smaller caves on the map already, but getting some bigger ones would be very cool
also the sewer system will also be cool

[sonic vale]

i just want the caves to actually have some lore or something to do. currently the cave in the volcano is something i went in once and never again. the one at delta is cool tho i like that one

[placid wren]

the first block with the tube almost perfectly connects to the swamps entrance and the one saying cave ending goes all the wat to SP river

[torn monolith]

[sonic vale]

pretty huge cave

[torn monolith]

the volcano is cool and all (but has nothing else than safe water in it) so people have no reason to really go there often

[placid wren]

might not be a cave but some human structure bc the entrance is human made

[sonic vale]

the water part is cool but there’s also just that really dark cave part

[lethal moat]

More underground stuff woo!

[sonic vale]

i really really super want the dome tho. that’s old concept art of the structures was so awesomesauce

[torn monolith]

there is more water in the dark cave part and another entrance/exit
so which is why i wish there was more in there, like maybe specific special plants or animals to eat

[sonic vale]

yeah just some reason to be there would be cool. and maybe some like lights running across the roof. just show the humans would use it for some reason maybe

like something they don’t want to be in the actual labs

[placid wren]

hypos? 👀

[torn monolith]

doubt it

[placid wren]

but imagine an underground cave system for humans where hypos r made?

[sonic vale]

i think strains were very official work from AE, like a big focus of the program

[torn monolith]

there would need to be something more down there than just "this is where hypos were made" type thing, like if one of the tunnels brought you to a lab while others were dead ends

[sonic vale]

like redacted documents n stuff

conspiracy theory stuff

[torn monolith]

ye exactly

[placid wren]

damn i wish there was more hidden stuff under here so far i found the blocks a base under port and another one in the ocean

oh and some loose buildings under the pits

[sonic vale]

well we’re getting big map updates soon so maybe that stuff has more going on

[placid wren]

more white blocks?

https://tenor.com/view/pawchain-paw-pawswap-crypto-cryptocurrency-gif-859229594265389226

[torn monolith]

hope so, maybe more secrets too like that box tunnel wip

[sonic vale]

i just want humans man. i wanna lock some dude in those big cages in sp

i hope those actually have a purpose

[placid wren]

the proxy chat server would be peak for that xd

[sonic vale]

same with the water access cage

idk how they’d implement something like that and keep it fun tho. but being like a worker with a big dino in the cage would be fun

and the spino breaks loose

[torn monolith]

lowkey getting news on humans and what their gameplay loop is supposed to be would be lovely

[sonic vale]

i think it’s just loot build and then die

we know you repair things, some dev recently talked about something in the dome needing to be fixed

[torn monolith]

interesting, but i do hope for more than that, we shall see tho

[placid wren]

i wanna see human growth xdd

[civic pollen]

dont.

you will not be warned again. no.
