Silentdarkness1 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 I thought that at first, but i'm starting to think it's a tallbird eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XirmiX Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 It's more likely the deerclops eye, sinse this puzzle was started from a RoG video and that everything in this has to be telling the story about how Wilson met the world of giants; as in that machine probably doesn't let him return to his world but to a further, more challenging world: world of Giants, where basically you go from Vanilla to RoG.

I think that's total baloney. RoG contents needs zero canonical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentdarkness1 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 The last time there was a puzzle reveal like this, we discovered a trove of lore information about William Carter. There's no good reason for Klei to waste our time like this. It HAS to be something substantial. Something BIG, something important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Charlie smashing his fancy new machine? :3 I wonder if this may lead to ruined civilization. I mean, what if They could leave through the portal as well?

Silentdarkness1 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Like Charlie smashing his fancy new machine? :3 I wonder if this may lead to ruined civilization. I mean, what if They could leave through the portal as well?1. Charlie doesn't attack buildings. Just the people. Also the machine is well-lit up atm. Charlie's too ashamed to show herself in the light. Stahp with the buzzkills, people. 2. It's a possibility. Although I don't think they would destroy humanity, reasonably. Why get rid of all the entertainment so quickly? It'd make more sense for them to simply start drawing more and more people into Their worlds.

I doubt they'd add an additional playable section if the world was just fine and dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentdarkness1 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Okay, I just had a thought here. In that time period, fictional stuff had time machines with a swirly spiral in it, much like what we see here. Now, is there any chance at all that this is not just a portal, but a time machine?! Imagine the possibilities there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people disappearing. LOTS. I think that'd be nice for an epilogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The arm though, does it belong to a Deerclops or is it a shadow arm? It looks like either one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the possibilities there.Not the Klei is typical, but in most cases time machines have more clock-themed looks. This door just looks crazy. Seems unlikely to me. All concept art was just that - concept art. Looks cool, but how would you square the DS weirdness with the "real world". The game mechanics are entirely based on being in a magical made-up world. That's the main reason I find it likely the portal leads to another strange world, not the real one. The strange one could have junk from the real world though, or be modeled on it.

brummbar7 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The arm though, does it belong to a Deerclops or is it a shadow arm? It looks like either one to me. Attaching a shadow arm to a machine seems tricky to me. I'm kind of wondering what the purpose is. Give it a damp cloth so it can keep the eyeball moisturized and clean? Beckon Wilson inside? High five him for an awesome portal-building job - totally NOT a crazy idea I might add! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentdarkness1 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'd say it perfectly matched a Deerclops arm, W. See for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentdarkness1 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^ I know, that's why I was asking. Is his beautiful machine about to be smashed before his very eyes?I really don't think so. Not to mention, that would be Klei poking us in the eye with a Tentacle Spike. They've had us waiting for what will soon be a week to see what this machine does. That'd be some chonky business if they destroyed it before we could see what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strange world and an epilogue real world.Well, I don't think Klei will make a bunch of assets simply for an epilogue. More likely our epilogue will be in story panel form if it ends in the real world, i'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically to help serve and set up the Praecantor, they had some custom assets. Custom fixed world gen, the meteors, the shadow phonograph...all that.

Custom fixed world gen, the meteors, the shadow phonograph...all that.Never played it (I took a long break at the end of Vanilla's development) but from screen shots it looks like it was mostly existing pieces - skull chest I think existed in prefabs a long time unused. World gen is just code. shadow phono and meteor shower sound custom though. For a 'normal' world I think they'd need a lot of new art for buildings and other people and such. I think art is a big stumbling block. And I'm not even sure how buildings would look in DS. We didn't even get any baby voltgoats for RoG, they're now like creepy gnome-goats that multiply when you're not looking. I assume it's because Klei just didn't have time for the art. I'd love it if we got more but it just seems like DS is skeleton crew these days. I'm frankly surprised this last puzzle was as complicated as it is.
