[fallen pendant]

Striekr

[onyx tartan]

Big boi

[fallen pendant]

Big striekr?

[hard echo]

xD

[onyx tartan]

Big striekr it is.

[fallen pendant]

edit woki

[hard echo]

oh please no

NO

[onyx tartan]

YES

[hollow thunder]

Brute???

[fallen pendant]

o

brute

[hard echo]

brute...mhhh

[fallen pendant]

Sounds nice?

[hard echo]

yeah

Easy and remarkable

[fallen pendant]

Lets ask the judge

[hollow thunder]

Idk what to call the shooting one tho

[fallen pendant]

@proven agate are u here

[onyx tartan]

Et tu, Brute?

[fallen pendant]

yeah

For big striekr

[hard echo]

Ok, im gonna try to get some sleep :'D I

Cya guys, im tired ^^

[fallen pendant]

cya

[onyx tartan]

cya

[fallen pendant]

Brute sounds nice right?

[pliant quail]

I'd avoid changing the name for Striker

We have the page set up with the page named Striker

and it's not consistent when you're changing the name to Whipper and the article title is Striker

[hollow thunder]

But what do you think about the name?

[fallen pendant]

ok

[pliant quail]

Since the game just came out we'll change things accordingly and see what becomes a popular name or what the community will stick with.

At the moment it doesn't help when you have two different names on a page.

[proven agate]

Brute is okay, not really a fan of it but I dont hate it. Doesnt stick for me

And yeah if the page is going to end up having multiple names in play because we cant change all of the references then it isnt worth changing it there at all

[hollow thunder]

I just came up with it mostly bc it had one syllable

Easier shout out

[plush canyon]

Im for Big Stryker. Shortened to BS

[mental needle]

I like Big Boy

The way it rolls off the tongue

[compact sinew]

@grim lodge this is not the LFG channel please use the #how-to-matchmake section for that.

[grim lodge]

sorry about that had the worng thing selected

[dull raptor]

I call em lickers and spitters

[fallen pendant]

spitters sounds noiCe

[dull raptor]

And if they are the large ones

Thicc lick and thicc spit

[novel pagoda]

I thing name "scanner" for "scout" will be better choice maybe? From my point of view this name reflects role more clearly. This creature dont just running around base and scouting, he walks around already occupied by monsters rooms and scans surroundings. What do you think?

[lilac island]

Scout is pretty quick and concise, and more or less covers what the creature does.

[shut mountain]

Yeah, and also the characters clearly refer to the Scout as a Scout in dialogue as well

[lilac island]

That too lmao

[novel pagoda]

Most of the time he spends slowly walking around and scanning. All creatures are fast as hell, really, running and stuff. Maybe before this underground complex was occupied by this creatures this monsters was like frontline-attackers, that scouted territories for horde. Now we see leftovers, who just assumed role of alarms?

If this is true, than name "scout" is more than ok. And name for creature was defined before even before complex was overrun completely.

[night stone]

I mean that is what scouts do

They are really fast and they go around and scan everything before the reinforcements come

[honest oak]

yay

[night stone]

Wrong channel

#gtfo-best-of

[ruby shard]

While "scout" gets the point across, it doesn't fit too well imo, and I like more unique names. Lol. And thinking about it, I think I'm gonna be calling it a "Snitch" with my friends.

[opaque pond]

Feeler

[livid cape]

I Don't know if yall are talking about the touchy feely man, but If you are I think Feeler is an accurate description. While some people don't know what that means, they'll realize when they see it.

[ruby shard]

Feeler could work. Just kinda lame sounding. Haha

[livid cape]

Well ya, anything for a serious name is going to sound lame compared to what you call it in the game. Personally hearing a high pitch schrill followed by someone yelling the touchy feely man is bout to touch em ismy favorite.

[winter meadow]

what are we talking bout?

[ruby shard]

Official names could be cool, and nicknames not so much =p

I will forever call the big melee dudes "big boys"

And after thinking it over in my head for so long I can't think of the ranged guys as anything other than a "seeker" cuz of their homing BS

[lilac island]

i like to call it "oh, senpai, he wants to touch me. . oooooooooh, aaah, senpai. i'm co......"

[next mica]

Brutes, Blasters, biteys and spits, did I miss any?

[winter meadow]

i call the big boys daddy thiccems

[next mica]

I'm not sure how I'd react if I hear someone call out "Hey, theres a thiccems here"

[winter meadow]

i call the spitters quitters

[ruby shard]

Thiccmans

The devs: GTFO is a survival based horror game.

The community: this here is a sleepy thiccboy. Over there is a feeler, or as I like to call it, "the dirty uncle"

[sick oak]

If you don't call the scouts "noodle ladies" I don't want to associate with you

[hollow thunder]

Cup n noodles

[sick oak]

Tbf all the community nicknames give off a very starship troopers feel to me

[hollow thunder]

I just call them brutes.

[dire shuttle]

Myself and a group i play with call the Big ones tanks the seekimg one a witch or some form of tentacle and the red ones elites

[winter meadow]

you all call them demons, i call them bitches

[toxic sand]

Monster

thing

whatever

[south stratus]

🐒

[ruby shard]

Spaghetti Monster

[wicked dagger]

noodroller

noodle + controller

lol

[worthy hare]

Last night I had to call the tentacle guy 触手男 (shokushu otoko) I joined a room with 3 Japanese guys (I don’t speak much) but it was fun learning enough to communicate also I vote we call him “tentacle guy” I’m cool with “daddy thiccems for the big melee guys lol

[worn spire]

nuderoller @wicked dagger

[wicked dagger]

🙉 if exists there's porn of it so...

[snow prism]

to late rule 34 has already happened when ever some one thinks about it

[frail pollen]

let's not talk about porn / rule 34 here please

[austere flicker]

Where do the characters poop in the facility?

Oh right they're likely to shit themselves at any point.

[last saffron]

remember when this channel was about lore

[sick oak]

No

They haven't really added it in-game yet

Noodle lady = Soba-San

[winter meadow]

so seeing as how the intro says establishing cerebral connection or whatever. give it to me straight. are these prisoners just meat puppets

[sick oak]

They're more of unwilling cyborgs for a seamless real-life vr experience

They're being controlled in game too! Neat.

[winter meadow]

so the big bois are daddy thiccems, what about the scouts?

[snow prism]

nah more likely just being monitored through their own brains, if they were just puppets it would remove the fear aspect and make no sense why they would scream.

[last saffron]

Theyre not meat puppets. they would not have personalities if they were.

[winter meadow]

fair enough, or they just let them be controlled but aware for shits n giggles but more than likely theyre not meat sacks

what, fucking crime have we even committed for this

copyright infringement?

[last saffron]

were prisoners in a sense that were there against our wills, not necessarily because were criminals

Bishop as example is apparently the guy who made http://santonianindustries.com/

[snow prism]

'wardens' preside over inmates/criminals not rando people taken off the street, an private prisons run by corporations are a thing.

[winter meadow]

good to know tax fraud gets you sent to zombie super jail

[last saffron]

Warden could be just a nickname rather than actually being a prison warden

[snow prism]

I would say the use of warden is too deliberate

[winter meadow]

true, for all we know it could be some weyland yutani situation here

[unique spoke]

Can we implement a seriousness rule for this channel

[last saffron]

there is, just mods rarely visit us..

plus im certain noone reads the pinned messages

[glad kettle]

If the mods are missing something that should be actioned, you can always reach us via a DM to @ruby lake @unique spoke

There's a lot of channels so we are doing our best haha

[unique spoke]

Yeah I appreciate you guys, it should calm down soon

[last saffron]

i feel bad for pinging mods about one offs sometimes

[winter meadow]

i mean an active discord is a sign of an active prisoner pool community and players

[glad kettle]

definitely don't!

we are here to be pinged as long as it's not for useless stuff 😛

and we always keep an eye on the @ruby lake messages

[lilac island]

can anybody explain the general Idea of this?

[snow prism]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1D2mdwwY2EvieuvQ3twaa1X-OU-kaUCdhxr6hqIZRfqg/edit#slide=id.g63ef21ffa1_0_10

this was at the top

[lilac island]

Hi! I'm new and exited about the lore I've read all of the presentation and would like to know the different names of the monsters

[tall anchor]

check out the gamepedia page

https://gtfo.gamepedia.com/Enemies

[lilac island]

Thanks!

[tall anchor]

Yeah

I’m working on moving the lore over to the gamepedia

All that’s left is the complex page

[winter meadow]

then theres the community names...one thing im curious about is the biology of these things

[tall anchor]

@lilac island yeah all names are community names, however those are the most well known of them

[winter meadow]

i mean, i still support calling the big ones Daddy Thiccems as a nickname, what did we decide on brutes?

[lilac island]

or Big Daddy punch me plz

[tall anchor]

brutes?

[lilac island]

No

[tall anchor]

what

[lilac island]

Gaints

I'm just making a joke

[hard echo]

Brutes is fitting

[tall anchor]

Giants/“Big” striker/shooter

is easiest

[lilac island]

But still

Brutes should be called SmackBrutes

[hard echo]

it's about accesability. You have to name them when in panic.

[winter meadow]

so working theory is parasites infecting a host still right?

[lilac island]

OMG, SMACKBRUTE IS AT ME

[tall anchor]

Yep

[hard echo]

Just brute for the pick one

[lilac island]

idk why I come up with the stupidest stuff

[oblique charm]

請問這有人會中文嗎?
(小弟英文比較差......

[hard echo]

?

[lilac island]

???

....

[winter meadow]

nods agreeingly

[hard echo]

Yes!

[winter meadow]

If it's in the crater then this is definately alien

[lilac island]

He's asking if anyone know chinese

his english is a little poor

[hard echo]

I know, we have google translator :P

[lilac island]

Lol

[winter meadow]

Nyet

[lilac island]

I know

Oh

Also in the trailer there was this tentacle thing at the end of it

Is that in the game?

[tall anchor]

Not currently

[winter meadow]

i dont..think so?

[lilac island]

A scout?

[tall anchor]

I have no idea if it will be, however I think it should be in the end result considering it’s in the trailer

it’s not a scout

[winter meadow]

no hes talking about the dead space style tentacle that yoinks the guy

[lilac island]

Yes

[tall anchor]

Not a scout tho

[lilac island]

Yes

[fervent tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/gtfo-video-games-zombies-get-the-fuck-out-work-together-or-die-together-gif-15766421

[lilac island]

It's like a creepy claw mouth thing attached to a long fleshy tentecal that lunges at the guy at the end of the trailer, wondering what it was

[winter meadow]

Probably something not good that needs a good hammerin

[surreal vector]

Is this canon lore?

[tall anchor]

what canon

the tentacle guy is in the very end of the teaser trailer

[lilac island]

Anyone know why the warden's logo is on this door?

[hard echo]

well because: || i have no idea lel ||

[lilac island]

we wanna find another person to get through the door

[fallen pendant]

Yeah we're trying to make names one syllables names so it's more easier to shout out when in panic or just something

It's because you dont wanna say names too long like "Big striker" or "big shooter" it's 3 syllables

Too long

[atomic tree]

People I play with usually call them Smol bois and Big Bois.

And scouts

[fallen pendant]

We call striker whipper

Since it's more fitting lol

even tho i havent bought the game ._.

[atomic tree]

Well, the ebb and flow of the game usually don't make you need to call out specific big guys in a hurry.

[fallen pendant]

Yeah but i want a name really fitting

[atomic tree]

When things goes to shit, you just need to know that "big guy inc" 😛

[fallen pendant]

So they know who they fighting with

[atomic tree]

In my experience there is big brutes and big shooty guys and usually there ain't a different approach to them.

[fallen pendant]

Ah

Just call them brutes for big whipper

or big striekr

[atomic tree]

Again, whatever works, I kinda like this "non-meta" approach and it differ from group to group.

[fallen pendant]

yea

[atomic tree]

Also I really hope they don't name the prisoners. I kinda like the no-name cannon fodder narrative,

[fallen pendant]

bruh

Theres already names

like north something

[atomic tree]

Oh

How about that

[sacred juniper]

so what's the lore

[hollow thunder]

North Hackett Dauda and Bishop

Is their names

[proven agate]

The prisoners all have names

[lilac island]

Dude I hope we get some customization

like with players

that would be sick

[atomic tree]

TBH the game is so dark, so it doesn't really matters for me and for a 8 man team there is better priorities.

[lilac island]

true but it would be good to have something to show off

cause I don't want it to be like Evolution where once you play it then that's game

Like I would personally like goals

credit systems

[atomic tree]

Why? Like literally so many co-op games did fine without beforehand.

[lilac island]

Because I feel like replayability will dwindle in time

[atomic tree]

Only if gameplay is bad. Like I've put endless hours into L4D(&2) without any progression systems or customization.

[lilac island]

Mods?

[atomic tree]

Nope, just the game. It had plenty a maps and difficulty.

[lilac island]

well I just hope they don't give us a small amount of maps

and offer more places across the world

[atomic tree]

My point is just, sure customization is neat, but should never be the core reason why you are drawn to play a game.

[stone nova]

In your eyes Is this technology possible? When it is officially opened ?

[lilac island]

oh no it isn't

I just like achievements to show off cool things ive done for other players to see

[naive kindle]

Would be really cool, it was a big feature in the trailer imo

[atomic tree]

Talked about it earlier, apparently the scanner is still in the game code, but not implemented in the game yet.

[hard echo]

The trailer showed a lot of cool stuff ^^

[lilac island]

It's possible

definitely

[hard echo]

I think this scanner wasn't good for Co-op

[lilac island]

^

[hard echo]

Because you don't need to communicate

[naive kindle]

Patience tho, early access and all that

[lilac island]

^

[atomic tree]

I think the main issue is the scanner is kinda useless on a second run because the map layout is the same.

[stone nova]

Thanks for the good answers bro 🙂

[hard echo]

There could be a thousand reasons ^^

[atomic tree]

I also fukken like the concept, but I guess that it doesn't really offer any gameplay options.

A team would always go for scanning a room.

And due to the visual feedback it doesn't require communication

[lilac island]

It would be cool if they added a specific sector thats generated differently each game

"The Maze"

[hard echo]

Maybe an endless mode :D

[lilac island]

or whatever

[atomic tree]

Well, they are making different rundowns

[lilac island]

Wave mode

[atomic tree]

I would hard veto a wave mode imo

[hard echo]

I mean, B1 in beta was kinda a wave mode.

I'm really looking forward to find out more about the game ^^

[atomic tree]

Oh, how bout that eh?

[naive kindle]

Wave like infinite survival?

[stone nova]

I want this game visibility patch ..

[pliant quail]

Guys this channel is discussion about lore of the game, head to #gtfo-chat please

[acoustic quest]

Hello Guys, i was ak for a long time , something new in the Lore? Besides of what we talked before?

[fickle agate]

what are people talking about?

[fallen pendant]

ah

We're mostly talking about names in here

[fickle agate]

This game gives me SCP vibes

[fallen pendant]

Because It is

But try avoiding saying that

[fickle agate]

do we know the names already?

[fallen pendant]

I mean new names

Something fitting

Like for striker --> Whipper

[acoustic quest]

there are some names , in the wiki

i like some of the old names jsjsjs " Big Boi "

[fickle agate]

why avoid the scp?

[fallen pendant]

Because mods-admins said gtfo only

[fickle agate]

got it

[fallen pendant]

So lets try avoding it

[fickle agate]

but

[fallen pendant]

Yeah i know it's like scp

[fickle agate]

i want it to be linked

[fallen pendant]

One thing we know for sure

It's they all blind

But not that blind

[fickle agate]

wo wo wo

what

[fallen pendant]

They can react to light and

[fickle agate]

ooo i thought you meant the main characters

[fallen pendant]

Really sensetive to sound and something

or soemthing*

[fickle agate]

i was like how the hell?!

[fallen pendant]

And the underground is called "The complex"

I think it's called complex because of the system called Rundown

but thats just a theory

A GAME THEORY

[fickle agate]

lol

[fallen pendant]

So exicted for mat pat to cover GTFO

[pliant quail]

rundown is just a set of levels on rotation

[fallen pendant]

Yeah it's also combplex

sens it's not the same

[fickle agate]

i assume the hole we enter is straight down that connects all the sections

[pliant quail]

Yeah

[fallen pendant]

hM

[fickle agate]

snap

[fallen pendant]

Do mods know everything or only the devs

[pliant quail]

only the devs

[fallen pendant]

Intresting lol

[fickle agate]

does anyone know what the infection thing is at the end of the game?

or run

[fallen pendant]

Prob no

[fickle agate]

i assume the things we where fighting were all once human

[fallen pendant]

Wait i'll read

I'll check

But i do know they not zombie but monsters

[fickle agate]

what are you reading?

[pliant quail]

yeah they use to be human

[fallen pendant]

"The Complex, a massive underground facility full of horrific creatures and nightmarish horrors. It's said to be located in the same place where an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago."

Oooh

Never knew

[fickle agate]

so once human but now classified as monsters? interesting

[fallen pendant]

I doubt the story is gonna be cliche

[fickle agate]

well given the scp vibe i can't wait to see what kind of story the make up

i thought the warden would be more active in order an try talking to us but rather its just commands

[atomic tree]

I can't wait for the deep potato lore, why does the enemies have potatoes, why do they drop them upon death? Endless potato related questions!

[fallen pendant]

wait they drop potatos?

[atomic tree]

I think it is like egg sacks or something, but the early builds made them explode with those "eggs".

Just looked like potatoes for me.

[fallen pendant]

"Devs are trolling confiremd??DWDW"

[lilac island]

Need 2 people. Send me a message. Doing B2

whoops wrong chat my B

[fallen pendant]

inhales

Ah

THANK YOU FOR the first time someone said wrong xchat ;-;

[atomic tree]

exhales

[lilac island]

sorry love yall

[fallen pendant]

love u to

toop

[tall anchor]

The potatoes are the parasitic eggs

[crystal estuary]

Truuuuuuuuue

[atomic tree]

I just realized how come all the monsters are naked? Like we know it is an infection, so it is humans, when in the infection process does the infected host decide to strip naked?

[lilac island]

...

無言ಠ_ಠ

That is a very good question

but if you consider, the person may already be dead

or died from the infection

[atomic tree]

Well, I guess the infection is kind of a parasitic host, so like the real world shroom makes a snail or ant crawl high up to get eaten by a bird, I think there is a possibility that this one makes you tore of your own clothing.

[storm fox]

Hey would anyone be up for dming me all the sweet juicy lore? I'd love to know but literally have no idea where to begin looking

[atomic tree]

The lore is slim, but the tagged stuff is a good start

[storm fox]

okay is it in pinned?

[atomic tree]

Yes

[storm fox]

thanks

[atomic tree]

np

[night stone]

I'm thinking that the parasite or virus came from the rock that killed the dinosaurs

And while mining and studying the rock they accidentally released it

And then they booked it

[storm fox]

I was thinking that too, but wouldn't they have safety procedures?

I think since the place is also research orientated it might have been a lab experiment that went horribly wrong and infected staff

[acoustic quest]

maybe the clones are the safety procedures

[atomic tree]

Well, if its an unknown virus, the symptoms might have been hidden until too late?

[storm fox]

possibly

also it could have been warden, maybe the ai released it. taking a page from Portal.

[atomic tree]

Do you even Shodan

[night stone]

But at the same time

[storm fox]

I only think this because it sends us to go collect what I can only think is samples

[night stone]

Warden couldn't operate by itself it was an AI

It would need maintenance

And a power source

[storm fox]

Maybe it gained sentience?

[night stone]

and a stable source of humans

Yeah but if we were truly capable of creating that

Where's the other robots

Where are the robots for maintenance

[atomic tree]

Well, we know for a fact that we play as prisoners, getting sent down by the Warden. We also know that we don't know if the Warden is an AI, Group or person.

[night stone]

Warden as a robot doesn't last for long without cleaning and power

[ancient rune]

who wants to show me how to play this game

[atomic tree]

We know that one of the guys you play as is related to the Corporation "Santonian Industries" which have labels throughout the rundown.

[night stone]

Wrong chat

[acoustic quest]

and one of the guys know more than anyone else about the clones and the things to find

[storm fox]

a small part of me feels like "Rundown" is just a game mode to keep us busy and entertained, I think the real story (as in the campaign) is still in development

[atomic tree]

"Clones"?

I'm pretty sure that "Rundowns" gonna be the main bread and butter gameplay.

[storm fox]

Maybe

[acoustic quest]

dna can be used to recreate the human being , taking the guy whos related to the santonian its just a guy not related in the game but somehow have the dna to make a clone or clones to get resources , also can explain the text saying , always different people but somehow i know them , idk if im close to the text i forget a lot

clones who learn from their mistakes

[night stone]

But in #the-warden it makes it sound like it's different people

[atomic tree]

Well, in theory it IS different people

[acoustic quest]

different bodie same mind ?

[storm fox]

It does mess with the cortex

perhaps they're mind swapping?

[atomic tree]

Nah, just think they are meatfodder for the lions

[night stone]

How far into the future are we talking here

[storm fox]

past 2020

[night stone]

Because that tech is pretty insane

[storm fox]

well.. ehh

[night stone]

And if they had cloning why not better guns

So they could actually survive longer

[storm fox]

wasn't a part of the budget.

[night stone]

That'd take less resources

[acoustic quest]

sometimes its like that, can research cloning but not guns

[storm fox]

I mean they never thought they'd need the guns

[atomic tree]

Well, maybe the Warden want to perfect the clones, so giving them optimal weapons would give less data?

Also gameplay balance

[acoustic quest]

also cloning may be easiest to do , cuz we have the dna and blood , but with guns they would need to start from a 0 or 50

[storm fox]

dude if a clone masters the revolver just copy the hell out of that clone

[acoustic quest]

well its almost liek that , master the revolver , and use always the revolver

[atomic tree]

"Trial Expedition Report #002
No. of prisoners dispatched: 303,954
No. of prisoners successful: 3,786
Prisoner survival rate: 1.25%
Conclusion: Survival rate does not meet requirements. Plan more trials"

[storm fox]

the revolver is a beast of a weapon, and possibly the cheapest weapon too

[atomic tree]

This is the Warden "report"

So we know a couple of things: 1: Sending people down the Rundown is quite a new thing.

[acoustic quest]

the bodies already have guns/things even in the " capsulas hsu " i forgot how to say that name in english

[atomic tree]

2: That is a hecking lot of "prisoners", unless the future have some insane crime statistics, this is rather unlikely.

[storm fox]

they could be buying prisoners from around the world

[acoustic quest]

they're probably not crime prisoners , one of them invest in the company

[urban kestrel]

but they would be the clones and not the prisoners themselves

[atomic tree]

3: The Warden seems to care more about "Survival rates" than getting the objectives done.

[storm fox]

like the scp foundation, they buy death row's and put them to work

[acoustic quest]

also the machine who send us down its silent somehow

survival = objetive donw

[proven agate]

Prisoner survival rate: 2.5%
Conclusion: Survival rate on adequate levels.

I don't think survival rate is the goal

[atomic tree]

But I would word its "Mission success rate" then

[misty spade]

what's the youngest age anyone has seen on a PID?

because most of the ones we found are past retirement age

[atomic tree]

PID?

[misty spade]

personal ID

[acoustic quest]

even we are in retirement age

[atomic tree]

In the Grim Dark future there is only OLD!

[acoustic quest]

but the warden force us to continue

[storm fox]

ok boomer

[urban kestrel]

oh no

[misty spade]

or there's been thirty years since the start of whatever happened to this complex I think

[atomic tree]

Makes sense, so things went to shit and the Warden (whatever what or who that is) began to make a program for sorting out stuff down there?

[storm fox]

did they say an origin date of the complex itself

[misty spade]

also the complex is old enough to have been repurposed to stash random pods down there?

[acoustic quest]

also what is omneco ingame?

[bitter summit]

why tf is every ugly in game NAKED

also any idea how old the facility we drop in is? like when did it fall or how?

[acoustic quest]

did you ever saw the clothes in the dead bodies ?

[storm fox]

perhaps it was nudist day?

[misty spade]

probs other failed expedition

also parasite hiveminds are nudists

[urban kestrel]

thats why the other expeditions failed. they went in nude

[storm fox]

fair.

[bitter summit]

yeah but like the Walking uglies are all naked

[storm fox]

I mean I'd rather them be naked then have body armor.

[atomic tree]

My guess is that since they creatures is able to produce light from their chest, they must be generating a lot of heat. So they need to be naked to cool down their body.

[bitter summit]

would also explain the general atmosphere

[misty spade]

also the fog

[snow prism]

clothes prob wouldnt last long on some of those things given how they move

[bitter summit]

but like most of the time they asleep

[misty spade]

anyone notice that the edges of the hole that the cage drops down curves up?

[storm fox]

also anyone else noticed how all the infected chomped off their fingers?..

[misty spade]

like something got out from below?

[storm fox]

seeing that legit made me shiver

[bitter summit]

YEAH wtf is up with that

[snow prism]

well if you notice the missions start at night

[storm fox]

they also don't have toes

[atomic tree]

Also the fog makes sense as the Rundown (or the Complex) is located in the Chicxulub Crater, which is in the ocean. So I guess it is a foggy damp mess.

[snow prism]

sea water is corrosive

[bitter summit]

who tf built a big ass complex mining station thinigy there then

[misty spade]

the techbase to even manage to do that is....extensive

[storm fox]

Satonian did.

[urban kestrel]

it kind of makes sense with the cave-ins too

[bitter summit]

Satonian did not make good choices

[misty spade]

something was down there, from the meteor

[snow prism]

nah we still dont know what they were mining exactly

[storm fox]

thats true.

[atomic tree]

BUT! also important to note the "elevator" is an improvised one and not a main elevator shaft.

[snow prism]

makes you wonder what made the hole for the elevator

[bitter summit]

true

tbh could just be a big ass bore drill

[misty spade]

nah the edges of the floors are curving up instead of down

[storm fox]

Also do you guys think it would be a good idea to have "hidden" audio/video logs in the terminals?

[livid cape]

I don't think it could be a bore

[atomic tree]

Well, we know something blasted outwards at least for some levels.

[bitter summit]

yeah id like lore in game that be pretty dang neat

[livid cape]

I also don't like the theory that the monsters are just aliens

[storm fox]

they're not

[atomic tree]

Have anyone tried to write the contact mail that there is at the Santonian Industries website?

[storm fox]

it's a parasitic host

[misty spade]

shit it could be an elder god with a thing about parasites

[snow prism]

nah I would bet they arent ailens but just super old creepys

[bitter summit]

well what if its an alien virus/parasite

[misty spade]

with The Warden basically being skynet

trying to figure shit out

[atomic tree]

We are not sure that Warden is an AI.

[bitter summit]

why tf doesn't warden send robots instead then?!

[misty spade]

you seen how sassy it gets when you don't get the HSU core sample right away?

[urban kestrel]

The whatever it is that infected the people down there could be airborne too because you go down in gas masks

[snow prism]

robots cant get past the lockdown doors

[misty spade]

elder god parasites have some EMP issues

[storm fox]

by definition it could be an alien parasite as it would have came with the meteor which came from space BUT we have a parasite vary similar to it on earth so who knows?

[bitter summit]

oh wait technically sentries are robots

[atomic tree]

To be fair, the fog itself could also be a lethal gas

[bitter summit]

Deus

[misty spade]

security scans require people because AI rebellion was a concern?

[livid cape]

In the lore slide show it says "we are sure what HSU really is for" but like thats what the prisoners are in before they descend.

[bitter summit]

what parasite splits your face and gives you big ass noodle mouth things

[snow prism]

nah prob just a corporate security measure the security scans

[misty spade]

an effective one

[atomic tree]

The winning kind Seraphim

[bitter summit]

ohgodno

[storm fox]

it could be a modified/heavily mutated version of the fungus parasite

I can't think of the name for it but they used it in the last of us

[urban kestrel]

or just a really old one

[snow prism]

ya a super old one that killed the dynos

[atomic tree]

Well, we know that the infected host starts growing eggs of some kind, so I guess we can rule out the Fungus

[velvet bear]

i mean going off the survival rates its definitely winning

[storm fox]

no if it killed the dino's we probably would have been had as soon as we started finding oil

[urban kestrel]

it might be spore sacks tho

[bitter summit]

tbh they dont give is quality gear

or ammo

yeah we aint supposed to live basically

[atomic tree]

Well spore sacks would explode or deflate

[storm fox]

literally the gear we get sucks as the enemies can literally lick us to death..

[velvet bear]

expendable people get expendable gear

[misty spade]

always more meatsacks to send

[atomic tree]

These things drops off the host

Well, most likely no official Gov know anything about what's going on the complex, bc it would rather easy to send down an army to sweep it.

or nuke it

[misty spade]

there probably isn't enough of a world left outside to matter

[storm fox]

nuking it sounds more preferable.

[velvet bear]

nuke the site from orbit. its the only way to be sure.....and that my friends is game over man

[bitter summit]

why not just put a giant cap on the hole and forget about it

[atomic tree]

I think that Santonian Industries want their cake and eat it, so hush hush and send someone down to make sure the reactor doesn't overheat + getting some data

[snow prism]

nah its prob secret as to whats going on down in the complex, an the rest of the world is prob spinning as normal

[bitter summit]

or just poor alot of cement

[misty spade]

because everyone is dead, notice the viral load indicator when you boot up

[lilac island]

wonder if later in development, the sanity will play a part?

[bitter summit]

yeah everyone is three ways to fucked

[misty spade]

the warden is using prisoners because that's all that's left

I guess in the future sticking someone in a pod is cheaper than jailing them

[atomic tree]

In an end of the world scenario, why would prisoners be the last one left?

[misty spade]

use them for spare parts later

[snow prism]

nah prisoners would be the easiest to use, the corporation prob has ties to private prisons

[storm fox]

You know I'd actually like to see sanity being a toll in the grand scheme of things

tool*

[misty spade]

also all the prisoners are international in orign

[bitter summit]

I could believe that more than We are the last hope scenario

[velvet bear]

dont have to feed them. and death row could be used as organ donors

[misty spade]

the world outside likely doesn't look like anything we would recognise

[urban kestrel]

if we are the last hope good luck on that one

[bitter summit]

cause if we really were the last line then I bet we'd at least get more shotgun rounds

[lilac island]

id like to see some new weapons aswell

[bitter summit]

I want the Burst rifle back

[lilac island]

maybe the more you progress the more the warden will present you with a tad bit of better gear

[atomic tree]

Please keep this chat about lore.

[lilac island]

oops sorry

[bitter summit]

actually uh why are the weapons so makeshift but so advanced?

[atomic tree]

Are they makeshift?

[lilac island]

it is the future right? or did i get that wrong

[bitter summit]

they sure look like it

[lilac island]

they seem a little crappy

[storm fox]

for being made in 2020 they don't seem.. to be made of quality.

[atomic tree]

It is, it takes place "somewhere after 2020"

[lilac island]

they do seem a little thrown together

[snow prism]

the guns look makeshift not much for the future design

[urban kestrel]

they look pretty advanced too me

[bitter summit]

Its the sights that are super advanced

[storm fox]

they're like cheap knock off's of the real deal

[atomic tree]

Well, a document said that some of the weapons were "makeshift weapons out of mining equipment"

[snow prism]

sights are kinda like what we already have

well the tech exists*

[bitter summit]

also two weapons look like actualy Proper guns the Pistol and the Semi shotgun

But like there super glowy and shit so that means they are high tech

[urban kestrel]

dont fix whats not broken

[snow prism]

nah led lights on guns is just a product of someone who has never carried a gun

[bitter summit]

tbh your completely right but like why are the sights so extra in the first place

instead of just the good ole red dot

[atomic tree]

Well, just sent a mail to the Santonian Industries contact mail. Let us see if we get anything out of that.

[lilac island]

ight boys, headed to bed, had fun chatting with you! Hope to see you in the pit soon! GOODNIGHT!

[bitter summit]

oh yeah wtf is up with the glowing on the uglies anyway

like its super weird

[atomic tree]

Well, besides game balance, I dunno, again it means they do produce some heat.

[velvet bear]

im more interested in the console commands. what if later on you can find lore through actually splicing through a terminal in game?

[acoustic quest]

well we just need to wait to see that

[snow prism]

bioluminescence is common in nature among creatures during the night/lack of light

[bitter summit]

yeah, or what if we can find dead as dirt security or other divers too

id like that

but major hobo there Is light there a whole lot of it!

[snow prism]

there are fish in the dark parts of the ocean that produce alot of light

[bitter summit]

yeah but i mean this is a malfunctioning bunker complex its still got some lights in it

[atomic tree]

Well, the D1 mission is to shut down a reactor.

[snow prism]

true but the origins of the monster things is still mainly unknown which leave it open

[urban kestrel]

its mostly dark tho so that makes sense

[bitter summit]

that true probably would tie into the whole space bit

[atomic tree]

Space?

[snow prism]

for all we know when they glow they are communicating, given their sensitivity to light

[atomic tree]

Also how does the things survive down there? Like do they eat?

[bitter summit]

well maybe or light could just also irritate them

Its probably why they sleep a whole lot

[urban kestrel]

and why your flash light disturbs them

[snow prism]

they could prob feed off mold

[bitter summit]

the bodies

all the bodies are torn the fuck up

[carmine oyster]

hello am i stupid or i dont have the join ID button ?

[atomic tree]

Wrong chat

[bitter summit]

wrong chat this is lore talk

[carmine oyster]

nobody help me 😦

[velvet bear]

go to the technical support chat

4 down from this chat

[urban kestrel]

why have all those big pointy teeth if they dont use them

[atomic tree]

I mean, Elephants have tusk for non-eating

preys

[bitter summit]

anyway any idea why their stomachs are fucked too? dose it contain the weird leech mouth they got?

[urban kestrel]

i kinda wanna know what they shoot at you too

[bitter summit]

yeah!

wai

[velvet bear]

maybe? like as it progress and takes over it starts by eating your insides?

so it messes with how you look?

[bitter summit]

wait its probably some form of a infection/baby parasite

[snow prism]

could be shooting acid spores of some kind given how they float/track

[bitter summit]

it might be how the reproduce in all honesty

they#

[snow prism]

could be given the infection rating connecting to your health when you exit the level

[urban kestrel]

thats kinda why i thought it was a fungus

[bitter summit]

we should get Roanoke gaming to take a look at this stuff

ALSO what's the weird potato looking thing in the creatures

[atomic tree]

Clearly Potatoes

#deeppotatolore

[bitter summit]

nastypotatos

[velvet bear]

thats it!!! this all started to prevent another great potato famine!!

[snow prism]

prob a gland of some sort

[bitter summit]

or eggs?

[atomic tree]

OH!

OOOH!

[snow prism]

or eggs

[atomic tree]

So the potatoes are ONLY on the shooty mobs

So it can't be eggs?

[bitter summit]

what if they are 'Female"

[atomic tree]

Some of them are, but also men.

[bitter summit]

and the 'males' are the more numerous naruto running fuckers

nono thats the host body

im thinking whatever the fuck they are now

[atomic tree]

My point is the "eggs" is only on the shooty ones and those "eggs" are only in the head region, where they shoot from.

[snow prism]

what if they learned the naruto running from someone's anime collection in the complex

[atomic tree]

So I think we can rule out "eggs", spore pods tho.

[bitter summit]

also where is the living quarters?

[snow prism]

prob a future level

[bitter summit]

welp there goes that transmission theory

[velvet bear]

different lvl probably. it would be easier to have living courters in one section then where you work in another

[urban kestrel]

well fungi asexually reproduce by spores and budding

so it might still be a thing

[bitter summit]

there is no way this is just a fungi

imean look at that split face

ain't no fungus gunna do that

[atomic tree]

Parasite

Also I think it is confirmed they ain't zombies (duh) nor Aliens.

[bitter summit]

defiantly

[snow prism]

could be a combination of parasite/fungi

[bitter summit]

wepon?

[urban kestrel]

the fungus that takes over ants bursts out of its head

[uneven turret]

Humanity screws with genetics again and uses those they experimented on to collect samples and unfuck their their mistakes

[bitter summit]

probably tbh

[small remnant]

could be a fungus that was uncovered by whatever facility we keep getting sent into, maybe it was contained to some cave systems before being discovered

[bitter summit]

wait what about the cryo pods we find in the facility

[atomic tree]

I don't know why, especially because it would not make sense at ground zero of all things, but due this taking place in the crater that wiped out the dinosaurs, I lowkey want dino-parasite-hybrids.

[bitter summit]

do they contain infected individuals?

[urban kestrel]

take that back

[snow prism]

could be a Jurassic park like situation, found fossils and did science to them

[atomic tree]

I can't it is now out in the free and I think that is best, I've just been binge watching Turok and Dinocrisis documentaries.

[bitter summit]

imagine infected raptors

[urban kestrel]

oh god

[bitter summit]

fuck that

[urban kestrel]

what have we done

[snow prism]

now thats a weapon to surpass metal gear

[atomic tree]

Imagine a raptor that can open its mouth and shoot out a toothy wormy boi!

No wait, that is just an Xenomorph

[bitter summit]

yournotwrong

i was going to say why isnt there grenades at all then it hit me

[urban kestrel]

is the nuclear option still on the table or no?

[bitter summit]

explosions at all will fuck everything up for you and the infected

[snow prism]

nuclear option is prob not needed an could make it worse

[velvet bear]

do you think body type plays apart of the infection? like the Biggins have a much larger worm then the rest and some can spit while others cant

[uneven turret]

well from the intro IMO seems we are mental patients or those who were experimented on so they send unstable

[atomic tree]

Well, we talked about how the fog -might- be gas or toxic, wouldn't go hurling explosives around like that.

[uneven turret]

teams in since we were experimented on

[atomic tree]

but then again, we do have mines

[bitter summit]

what if we are war criminals

[snow prism]

fog could be a byproduct of something like a nest

[bitter summit]

would make sense since the characters eeem to know what they are doing

well Im sure if you put enough if those fuckers together they produce the fog just with water and their body heat

[snow prism]

thats a really good point there

[urban kestrel]

well im headed to bed. good chating with you all 👌

[bitter summit]

have a good one!

oh yeah somthing to note

[atomic tree]

"well Im sure if you put enough if those fuckers together they produce the fog just with water and their body heat" ah yes, the extensive and deep sweat lore.

[bitter summit]

all the infected seem to share pretty similar skin colors

[atomic tree]

Pale?

[bitter summit]

yeah

pale pink ish

[atomic tree]

Option 1: The mutation makes them lightskinned + being in the dark.

Option 2: Fungus be racist and eating the colored people.

[bitter summit]

or the company only hired white guys or somthing

although some infected seem to have some darker tones

[atomic tree]

Let's be honest, this takes place in a mining facility, in Mexico.

[bitter summit]

hey the could brought staff from outta country

[atomic tree]

It's Mexico, does it get any cheaper?!

[bitter summit]

what is every staff member was Asian might explain some the the Japanese lettering I saw

then again good point

[snow prism]

its safe to say the corporation is a multi national one

[atomic tree]

I'm sure its a multi national endeavor, but the main workhorse of this mining operation would be Mexican.

[snow prism]

ya but south america has a pretty diverse population

prob esp in the future time line here

[bitter summit]

also!
why doesn't the facility have its own defenses? not even any security personnel?

[atomic tree]

Well, if it's -just- a mine. There might be some topside at the entrance.

[snow prism]

they prob died in an outbreak and the facility went on lock down when the infection started

[bitter summit]

still the base should at least have a minimal security presence I mean we scavenge ammo outta the place for crying out loud

[atomic tree]

That is a good point, but it is not like we find crazy stashes of ammo

So

It must have been a symbolic present, just to keep the miners in check.

[bitter summit]

or like an emergency service for when shit could go wrong like cave ins or outbreak of flesh eating abominations

[snow prism]

well it could have been the miners were not even there by choice, and south america is prob still a hotbed of conflict in the future

[bitter summit]

well if that was the case I bet there would be a lot of sentry guns still active or other defences

or atleast a hulk of an armored vehicle

[snow prism]

could be tied to ||restarting the reactors|| later on

[bitter summit]

yeah tbh havent made it that far yet

[snow prism]

like you can do one mission before another but if you didnt ||restart the reactor|| the level could be different

[bitter summit]

also why dose a mining facility have CRYOPODS

[atomic tree]

Also just wanted to check somethings in the game and got one thing confirmed and noticed another detail.

[snow prism]

cryopods might slow/stop the infection for a time being

[atomic tree]

1: One of the missions sent you down after an "Officer" which I assume must be a security officer.

[snow prism]

so far the mission seem to build off one another

[atomic tree]

2: When you boot up the game, the text says you are in HYDROstasis, which I think is an interesting detail.

[bitter summit]

fancy way of saying Cryo

still tho

i doubt it was just a mining facility

[atomic tree]

No, Cryo is Cryo, Hydro is Hydro.

[bitter summit]

Cryopods don't belong in a mining facility unless there somthing more going on like research or somthing

[atomic tree]

That is very true, also why does a Mining facility need a dick ass reactor?

[bitter summit]

yeah something don't add up here

[atomic tree]

But Santonian Industries is labeled as a "Mining Company"

So yeah, shenanigans and skullduggery is clearly happening

[snow prism]

knowing how corporations work they prob have subsidiaries in the medical, defense,prison... etc fields

[atomic tree]

But then we would see that subsidiary company logo all over the place.

But we only see Santonian Industries.

[snow prism]

or maybe we havent been down far enough

[atomic tree]

Possibility. I just think it some Umbrella tier corp shenanigans

[bitter summit]

yeah,like human experimentation

Bio weponry

idk

No laser defense grids tho

[atomic tree]

"In 2016, a scientific drilling project drilled deep into the peak ring of the impact crater, hundreds of meters below the current sea floor, to obtain rock core samples from the impact itself. The discoveries were widely seen as confirming current theories related to both the crater impact and its effects." official wiki about the Chicxulub crater.

Nope.jpeg

[bitter summit]

wait they literally drilled into the dang space rock irl?

welp

[atomic tree]

Also I just realized it's C-Foam, like.... "Sea-Foam".

[snow prism]

I think its a pretty cool setup they have with the complex, in an asteroid crater. its prob why people default towards the ailens angle

[atomic tree]

Mhm, but it is confirmed not to be Aliens.

But I do think it is some kind of outer of this world infection tho, so technical Aliens.

[prime silo]

Also.. concrete foam.

[atomic tree]

OOOOH!

[prime silo]

Right?

I had a head slap moment when I realized.

Or if they're being fancy.. containment foam.

[atomic tree]

I feel stupid now

[prime silo]

Dude. I was staring at my cfoam for like an hour before I realized. Its okay!

[atomic tree]

I just looked at the goop it made and thought "yeah, looks like sea foam".

Once again, we unearth the deep lore of GTFO.
The Potato lore
The BIG sweat lore
And now
The "Sea Foam" lore

[crimson wave]

C-foam is mashed potato's, prove me wrong

[prime silo]

There is no butter on the c-foam, so it can't be mashed potatoes.

[misty spade]

its kinda strange the enemy reminds me of the first halo's Flood a little

like but you are not a super soldier

[smoky dock]

Well we know for certain that suppressors in this universe do NOT exist

C stands for Cryo? Cryostasis?

[unique spoke]

Concrete lattice foamhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

In game it seems pressurized with a more liquid mixture which would make it stronger

[hardy basalt]

GLOO Cannon strikes again

[hot scroll]

Is there a chance the warden is not a person, but an AI?

[last ivy]

Says so on the tin!

[hot scroll]

If the warden is indeed an AI, and has prisoners locked up, who is it supposed to be protecting? 🤔

[tender silo]

Is there a story in GTFO? Like, does the game tell a coherent story mission to mission?

[last saffron]

for now none, however the story according to Simon is extensive. it will be told through logs found on the levels

theyre probably going to be added later

[tender silo]

hmm ok, that kinda sucks. Wish they'd tell a story with an intro to the mission, dialogue or quest objectives that are story-related and an outro to the mission when you survive

[fringe obsidian]

Has anyone ripped the textures from the game, yet? I'm working on that now if others are interested.

[last saffron]

Data mining is prohibited.

[fringe obsidian]

Not data-mining.

I guess that's a no.

[last saffron]

i think one person did rip textures earlier

need to remember who though

earlier as in during beta

[fringe obsidian]

Gotcha. Once this is done, I'll have near 4000 textures to blitz through. Hopefully I can find some answers.

I was hoping to find the maps for the levels that are released, but that's probably a bit more difficult to find.

Getting the map models isn't easy, either. I'd like to explore the architecture a bit in unity.

[last saffron]

i said data mining mainly because there might be unreleased stuff in there, textures for things not implemented etc

and sharing those is prohibited under rule 11

[fringe obsidian]

Hm.

Seems a few steps could have been taken to prevent most of those concerns. Regardless, this isn't data mining, at least not by definition.

[last saffron]

well, 10cc is just 9 people so they cant really prevent people unlike bigger studios with hordes of lawyers waiting to jump on you

[fringe obsidian]

I mean, I respect their wishes, for sure, I'm just saying a simple cmd decryption service that runs on startup would have put the kabosh to my efforts.

Right now the game files are easy to get on the PC, mostly just copy-paste some information. Encrypting those files would have made accessing them impossible.

Or at least very inconvenient.

That would even raise a bit of hype, no?

[last saffron]

no clue how unity handles those things so cant say

[fringe obsidian]

No no, it could be done outside of unity. A simple hash would decrypt the resource folder, then another small script would run the rest normally.

[visual wedge]

is there a link to more of the lore or they leaving it for the players?

[last saffron]

right now theres no official lore avaliable with exception of character descriptions by Simon

in the pinned messages theres a summary of stuff we know

[winter meadow]

as of now the fans are naming the monsters

[last saffron]

time to speculate why the "Horde" strikers/shooters have different colors

[winter meadow]

my opinion? if it's an infection then it depends on the skin color of the person and mutates off of that. if it's not an infection and these things are brooding it might be a maturity thing

kinda like how some species on earth get a darker and harder carapace/shell as it matures

[pseudo prawn]

That’s gonna be pretty racist if you ask me

It might be an ancient virus from earth but unknown to humans as the meteor struck when it was just resurfacing, and it was trapped in the crater until someone dug it out

Because of this it learned to thrive in low oxygen and low visibility areas which might explain why it’s only in the underground still

If that’s the case, it’s an incredibly stupid idea to keep sending people from the surface world as it might adapt and eventually break outside

[sick oak]

Who says the prisoners are from the surface?

[pseudo prawn]

The warden is a sentient part machine part these monsters that wants DNA samples and such to develop its babies. That’s why the more we extract for it and the more down we go, the more difficult it gets

Well they are either test tube or surface people. I bet on surface, people captured by Bishop and co. And that’s why they seem familiar to them

This is a far stretched theory

A wild shot in the dark, but hey

[winter meadow]

Personally I'm leaning toward the DNA being cloning related

I mean we got DNA from someone in a mission called The Admin. Maybe a high up needed to be preserved

[pseudo prawn]

Hmmm could be

[hollow thunder]

Wasn't there one for "the officer" as well?

[winter meadow]

Yeah I think so

Seems most of what we are doing so far is assessing the situation. (Collecting PIDs) recovering important assets to the company (Hydrostasis DNA), and preserving vital systems (defending the reactor)

[hollow thunder]

I think the D1 mission you're shutting down a reactor. Which is kinda weird but ok.

[winter meadow]

Maybe it's got something to do with stopping the spread?

[atomic tree]

Well, if the reactor is about to overheat it seems like a good idea

[winter meadow]

Also true

[pseudo prawn]

Depends what part the reactor powers? Maybe they need the energy/power

[winter meadow]

Ok hear me out here. It could be a case of forcing some lower parts of the complex to run on emergency power. In those situations it might lift some lock downs and give access I'm sure theres a lot of secure areas just unreachable at the moment

[hollow thunder]

I know it's weird how the enemies are different colors (some white almost and others red) but I remember seeing enemies with large spikes all over their head/ face

[atomic tree]

Yeah there is spikey bois

[hollow thunder]

What do they do that's different from the original ones? Are they stronger/more resistant to bullets?

[atomic tree]

Think they are just a little stronger. But ain't 100% sure

[snow prism]

dna samples could be the keys for lower doors

[hollow thunder]

What do you mean by lower doors? Like deeper into the complex or?

[atomic tree]

Well, we know for sure that the complex at least have a level more (E level).

[snow prism]

I am talking biometric security, like some doors need the dna from certain people to open them, bec the complex is in a lockdown mode

[bitter summit]

that probably why the security system lets us in in the first place

unless we hacked it

or had ids of some form to get by it

[atomic tree]

I know for sure you attempt to hack the reactor at D1.

So we are not completely welcome in the complex

[hollow thunder]

That makes sense. But what if that's what the reactor is for? I get the "you need a specific person's DNA to get through a door" but what if the reactor does that to only some parts of the complex? That's why you turn one on, and the other you shut it down. There's a reason for both.

[bitter summit]

another thing what if we are collecting data to form a cure or preventative treatment

[atomic tree]

Well, the deep location of the D-reactor might indicate it is an experimental reactor.

[hollow thunder]

Or something that kills them easier. Like if they create a lethal gas that spreads through the complex

[bitter summit]

the infections spread seems to be a high priority to monitor from the warden

[atomic tree]

and the one on E-level is the "main power"

[bitter summit]

theres an E level

oh lordy

[atomic tree]

At least if the map we are shown of the rundown is true

[hollow thunder]

There isn't one. at the moment

I just wish we are able to play the expedition from the trailer. It might not have that same alarm but it would be cool. Plus in the trailer they were DEEP

[atomic tree]

I mean, 656ft is already deep

[hollow thunder]

So imagine being +1000 ft deep

[bitter summit]

yeah i can barely hear the alarm when it goes off

[atomic tree]

Correcting myself: D level is 842ft

[hollow thunder]

Wow

E level is gonna be a pain

[atomic tree]

But then again we are only 6.5% of the way compared to the deepest mine in the world.

[hollow thunder]

Yeah, but what about the largest?

In miles wide

[atomic tree]

Well, stripmining tends to get quite wide.

But what the Complex does different is to build interior as if you wanna transform it into a facility in the long run.

[snow prism]

What if we are only seeing the first part of the complex? It could branch off further down into other sections.

[atomic tree]

Well, the devs already said will be different rundowns

[wispy willow]

Maybe there is more than one facility.

[fresh skiff]

^

[atomic tree]

I think there is ONE facility, the Complex, but different rundowns within that Complex. Like branches.

[fresh skiff]

that would be interesting

[atomic tree]

And maybe some of the rundowns is connected underground, but mainly all of them have a top side entrance

[wispy willow]

But why would every single one of them have a big hole in the middle that’s been blown through?

[atomic tree]

Well, we haven't seen the others, but if they have, I don't know.

Already that hole is quite weird, as it tore upwards and outwards but as an explosion it doesn't make sense.

[fresh skiff]

the warden is just into that kinda architecture

[atomic tree]

I guess it could have make gas-pipes tactical burst a gap from the bottom to the top?

[wispy willow]

I noted last night that it looks like a giant worm tore through from bellow.

[snow prism]

added a bit but I really like the original pic

[atomic tree]

I was also tempted just to write "???????" in the bottom.

[snow prism]

that would be better

[atomic tree]

But also giant worm? What makes you think giant worm?

[snow prism]

it could be that the earthworm species is 500+ million years old

[wispy willow]

I think giant worm because it’s basically a perfectly round hole and all the rebar is torn upwards. Explosions don’t do that, and they don’t leave the surrounding area undamaged.
You know what does do that? Giant worms.

[lilac island]

...

I’m amazed at the drawing

But the real thing is much better

[wispy willow]

It’s a work of pure art.

[lilac island]

I’ve seen the real thing

[snow prism]

what 60 seconds in ms paint will get ya

[lilac island]

Lmao

[snow prism]

lol

[lilac island]

Cooking corn dogs

The massive worm thing makes sense

For my little monster

[wispy willow]

Giant worm would be the single most anticlimactic cause for all this terror. There’s nothing inherently scary about a giant worm.

[lilac island]

You think there was some sort of mining operation, trying to find iridium left over from the meteor and they found something and awakened it? Like an alien being?

Maybe it could be somesort of parasitic being? That grew under the mining site
Actually maybe they already knew it was there and where studying it

Ghost and I were discussing it in his stream last night for a bit

[wispy willow]

Giant fungus stalk.

[lilac island]

Hm?

[languid walrus]

Did anyone notice the ceiling in C2?

[snow prism]

how about giant centipede?

[wispy willow]

Haven’t gotten that far. What about it?

[languid walrus]

When you get to the hallway leading to Zone 94,

[lilac island]

Don’t spoil for newer players

Lol

[languid walrus]

Ah, alright.

[lilac island]

Hm?

Yea

I... Don't know about that

[languid walrus]

Has anyone even played C2?

[lilac island]

Me

I’m in B1 at the moment

Haven't completed it yet

[wispy willow]

Still trying to clear B2. Almost beat C1 last night with some guys.

[lilac island]

Damn

Can someone help me in c2?

[languid walrus]

||Go into the hallway where you meet the new enemies for the first time, and there is a giant hole torn out of the ceiling and there’s a huge growth of some kind of glowing, pulsating fleshy residue.||

Spoiler there in C2.

[lilac island]

WOAH

[wispy willow]

Huh, fascinating.

[languid walrus]

||Same thing is also present in Zone 90.||

[lilac island]

Hmm

[wispy willow]

Makes me think of the alien virus in The Expanse.

[lilac island]

Mhm

[atomic tree]

Also pls no bully my clearly amazing artwork!

[snow prism]

I liked your artwork

[wispy willow]

By the way, they killed the design of the reactor core in C1. It actually looks like a nuclear reactor.

[atomic tree]

To think this a game made in unity

[warm vale]

What’s with the prisoner situation. New form of community service?

[mighty yoke]

https://clips.twitch.tv/TenderArbitraryIcecreamCoolStoryBob

[snow prism]

my guess expendable bodies no one would miss

[naive kindle]

Could be multiple things really, they're prisoners so they can be tempted with years off their sentence for participating/used as expendables for the rundown/"its inmate rehabilitation" as a cover-up, too many variables to guess right

[proven agate]

We have reason to believe Bishop worked for or with the company responsible for this facility, I'd presume all of the characters are somehow similarly involved

[warm vale]

It would be really cool if there was some accessible data pads or something throughout the levels

[proven agate]

I dont think they are prisoners in the typical sense of having committed a crime per se

Seems more likely they have skillsets the company made use of and then were abducted to be used by the warden

[last saffron]

the lore and backstory will be revealed through different text and audio logs left behind by the people who lived in the Complex before the monster invasion. What shape the outside world is in is part of the mystery that will be revealed in the game

from AMA

[hexed plover]

what means GTFO

??

[tall anchor]

?t gtfo

[cloud swift]

The game is called GTFO and it doesn't stand for "Get The Fuck Out" but rather the feeling you have that you want to complete The Warden's objective and GTFO.

[tall anchor]

@hexed plover ^

[hexed plover]

haha cool

[shadow igloo]

is it really some kind of invasion? 100% looks more like some kind of mutation to me. these creatures are people with their faces split open and cancerous growths. think this was some kind of bio weapon lab maybe or they unearthed something terrible. keep in mind we do have a infection level when launching

[lament perch]

I always thought this was some testing facility where something went horribly right wrong

[tall anchor]

I think it's a infection/parasite of some sort

also mutations wouldn't come out to similar results unless everything tested was super similar

[candid surge]

Definitely looks like it'd be a parasite

Or a similar thing like what affected people in the last of us

[glad shore]

It’s most likely an infection. Infection rate was one of the criteria for redeployment when you log in.

That and mental stability. Though for some reason, no matter what your mental state, that’s always flagged as red...

[last saffron]

the infection rates alongside other parameters are randomized each start up, so i assume theyre flavortext for now

sometimes it shows unknown etc

[lilac island]

Mhm

Anyone have any ideas of what could have made the massive holes that you travel down to get to the areas? They look like they where drilled upwards

[dense saffron]

Seems like at one point it could have been a main access shaft, I think the spikey bits pointing upwards around it are part of the infection, considering the krispy boys in c2

[upbeat mauve]

@lilac island The facility we're into is own by a giant mining company, they probably drill it before everythings started

[lilac island]

But... Why is the drill going upwards? And why drill their own facility?

I guess the main access shaft would make sense but it seams to destroyed to be an organised shaft

[upbeat mauve]

Ho, you mean that they started drilling it from the inside ?

[lilac island]

And the game Devs say specifically they are not zombies

So... What exactly are they? If it was an infection then what is the source?

[last saffron]

theyre not zombies nor aliens correct. we have no info on what they are exactly outside of mutated hosts

[lilac island]

Something also seams off...

[upbeat mauve]

Idk, there's a lot of container with the biohazard sign

[lilac island]

When they are dorment, they hold their hands together against their chest

It seams too human

[last saffron]

took these back in alpha if you want a better look at their tendril

[lilac island]

Kinda creepy In its own way

[upbeat mauve]

Ho

[lilac island]

I really want to know what that is

[lilac island]

Hm...

[toxic sand]

2017 prototype?

[last saffron]

the tendrils have that on the end of them essentially, minus the webbing etc

[lilac island]

I'm thinking hive mind

That ain't a tendril, that's something else

Like a tentacle

[last saffron]

hive mind would make every single one of them know where you are the moment one sees you

[lilac island]

Fair point

So... Are they all independent?

What governs them?

[last saffron]

i think of them more as ants

theyre individuals, but still operate as one

[lilac island]

Mhm

[last saffron]

the very first thing they do when seeing you is alert others

so its like a gigantic pack

[lilac island]

Yeah... Bit they don't hunt

Only the scouts walk about

The scouts can't attack at all, they rely on eachother
