Well I guess I missed my chance

acedude 04-05-2016 06:47 AM

This challenge is proving harder than I thought. I'll keep looking and checking this thread.

Connell 04-05-2016 06:49 AM

8 in the next 2 secrets.

EDIT: I forgot to check the secret hidden under the mines in the little jumpy gaps.

that had 9.

Connell 04-05-2016 06:59 AM

Wasn't 10 in the secret on the way out of Rupture Farms either. Must be in Stockyards or the return, or one of the secrets in the wild (AKA anywhere in the rest of the whole friggin game :goof: )

acedude 04-05-2016 07:03 AM

I hope these screenshots don't have to be 10 DIFFERENT places, I don't want to watch that 3 hour longplay lol.

Connell 04-05-2016 07:05 AM

Even 25 people coming up with their own genuine screenshots is quite a stretch. Do enough people know about the ARG? And do enough of those have the scrub outfit and the time to get the screenshot?

Xavier 04-05-2016 07:14 AM

I have it.

By the way I updated the wiki page in an attempt to have people helping us get the screenshots :)

FennecFyre 04-05-2016 07:16 AM

Gooooood morning ARG team, any progress on--

Oh. Well I missed a lot.

Nice! I added a bit about the pieces earlier on.

Replaying this reminds me how much I hate the new chanting noise for the native mudokons. "Ya yo yaaaa yo yaa yo"
finished scrabania, moving to paramonia

Manco 04-05-2016 08:01 AM

I don’t think any of the secret areas in the wild have enough Mudokons. I’d recommend checking the Zulags.

acedude 04-05-2016 08:05 AM

Yeah, but unfortunately my new pc didn't save the info on steam's cloud so I gotta play through it again.
Edit: Although the one behind the "Indiana Jones" boulder had 9! That was close.
Edit 2: Heading back to Rupture Farms. Any updates on locations or anything?

STM 04-05-2016 08:30 AM

Fuck I was gone for TWO HOURS. I was ready to translate the morse code and everythingggggg.

Snukm 04-05-2016 08:48 AM

ooooooooooooooooooh boy! :D

Snukm 04-05-2016 08:53 AM

New post from Ed:

It's a trick, let me help.

Nepsotic 04-05-2016 09:07 AM

Don't be double posting fam

Connell 04-05-2016 09:26 AM

Heads up: they've changed the task on the Soulstorm site. We now need screenshots of scrub Abe rescuing 9 Mudokons. Think they realised their mistake.

Also to recap, 2 new tweets from Ed in the past few hours:

"maybe we have to work together. We need more"

and

"it's a trick. let me help"

It would seem that tweet triggered the task to change to 9 mudokons.

acedude 04-05-2016 09:29 AM

Well great, now I gotta go back. Thanks for pointing that out Connell.

To me it looks like 90 mudokons. But it's funny to see they planned all this but made a mistake counting the maximum mudokons possible to rescue with one portal.

EDIT: I just noticed, Ed is now at 37 followers and has gained more than 28 followers since last time i checked, which was yesterday. That means there are at least 28 people knowing of this ARG. Pretty cool!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! I'd been out earlier and missed Ed's new tweets. At least there's like 2 or 3 opportunities to get grabs in the start of Rupture Farms now.

EDIT: It's so annoying how the costume is only 79p, but they haven't made it available on the Wii U. Can anyone confirm if you can get it on the PS3 version? I have N'n'T on my PS3 at uni.

Pirfsich 04-05-2016 09:38 AM

I'm considering making a twitter account to send some rescuing pictures to ed or owi...
Why is there no tweet like the fez-challenge had, so people apart from us on the forums can join in? 25 is pretty much...

the scrub outfit was only a pre-order bonus on the ps3, wasn't it?

I guess this is an ARG designed for an year xD (since soulstorm is coming out in 2017)

acedude 04-05-2016 09:57 AM

If you guys don't want me to spam this thread, should I make an imgur album and accept new pictures by email (to make sure we don't get repeats)?

Connell 04-05-2016 09:58 AM

Glad to see it's going well, Acedude. It looks like you might be tackling this one on your own :p I'm down for whatever. I assume OWI wants us to tweet them in to them? An imgur album could be good just for the sake of organisation in this thread.

But the question is: what will we get if the ARG is solved? A release date? I highly doubt it, judging from Lorne's statement "2017-ish". More pictures? in-game/cutscene screenshots? Probably not. Lorne also said they are working on the 3d model this exact minute on the KindaFunnyGames twitch stream. Any ideas?

acedude 04-05-2016 10:02 AM

Okay, cool. I will be accepting new images all week via ace2826@hotmail.com
