Hypersomnia Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Spoiler 3 hours ago, Zillvr said: Sadly I don't have anything productive to share at the moment that would help with regards to finding more clues with the new panels on the site or even solving it. The fact that PeterA has basically told everyone to go back to solving this puzzle, (source) means there's enough in this current puzzle portion that was given to us today to at least solve a part of this phase. Maybe. So upon closer inspection on the new last panels, the orb of light and smokestacks seemed off. Everyone up to this point has already brushed it off as a light coming from a fire pit or campfire. I did too at first. Then after more time was spent staring at it... I realized that the orb of light and the smoke stacks are off center. Sorry if the crappy mock-up isn't up to par. Anyhow, in DS light is very important and any form of light forms a circle. A light's center would always be the source of light, which is why we all think/thought this orb of light is from a fire pit/campfire in the first panel we see the orb of light. But then on the last panel it's slightly even more farther from the center of the orb of light than the first? This could mean multiple things. Speculation: The smokestack and the orb of light are from two separate sources. Conjecture 1: The Orb of light is stationary and comes from something else, while the smokestack is from someone's torch. Who is probably moving away from the center of the light. (They could very well be fighting or running away from hounds like Maxwell did near the start of the comic.) If that someone is Willow, the orb of light could probably be from a forest fire she started from very far away and now she's moving towards Maxwells direction running from hounds. Though her lighter doesn't produce smoke at all, she could be carrying a torch. Remember the new skins that was added in the Update today? One of the new stuff that was added were also Shadow Skins for Torches aside from the Shadow Skin Variants for the characters. Which made me think of torches for this conjecture. Conjecture 2: The sources of the smokestacks and the orb of light are the same and it's only our perspective of the scene that changed. Notice in the first panel I showed above, the camera (our pov) is just behind Maxwell's shoulder. Then the next panel, Maxwell is a few steps away from the camera (our pov) and closer to the light. Plus the bend in the horizon could be what's causing the visual alignment of both the smokestacks and the light orb to seem off. Maybe. Sadly, that's all I have at the moment. I hope this at least would spark some ideas in some of you to try ideas you may not have thought of yet. Good luck...to all of us. But for now, cheers. I think the orb of light that you mention is the Sun going down, for two reasons: first, previous panels show it's becoming dark; second, if it was something like a forest fire with a light as big as that, it seems wrong to think it would produce such a small amount of smoke. As for the smoke itself, it appears to be reaching a height that's too substantial for a mere torch to be the source. I know campfires don't produce smoke in the game, but in this case, I think it's simply foreshadowing Maxwell's encounter with the rest of the characters. In other words, the smoke is probably a way to infuse us with HYPE.

We're looking obsessively for any hint in the art, finding things that aren't there. I compared the lua scripts from the update with the earlier ones and didn't find anything significant either, only some typo fixes and few changes in the code (though I'm not an expert, maybe I've missed something). I still have a feeling that there's something hidden in the game??? But that should've been in the scripts so I don't know.
