Abe HD
 

STM 01-10-2012 12:06 PM

Tease.

Manco 01-10-2012 12:07 PM

But seriously, wonder what could be on there? Bottom left looks like some sketches?

STM 01-10-2012 12:09 PM

Below that reads: Story S.... ......

I tried to trace the most legible stuff but ended up getting nothing. XD

JennyGenesis 01-10-2012 12:12 PM

All I can see is Story Stone and Abe HD.

Manco 01-10-2012 12:18 PM

I see “Story Stone Raymond”. Maybe referencing a design for a Story Stone made by Swanland? Is he still actively involved with OWI?

And below that, “in-game [unknown]”

JennyGenesis 01-10-2012 12:22 PM

I won't be satisfied until

A: We can see the unedited photograph

OR

B: Somebody spots something on there about Quiksave.

Jordan 01-10-2012 12:41 PM

It's okay Wil, the unedited version that is safe with me.

So... you just went to some sort of school and wrote "Abe HD" on the top of a whiteboard in classroom, do I understand this correctly?

Crashpunk 01-10-2012 12:57 PM

Your whiteboard pens really suck. It's so blury, I can't read any of it. Instead of making Abe HD, invest into some new ones.

:tard:

MeechMunchie 01-10-2012 01:07 PM

That was before Wil got there, of course.

This was after.

Wil 01-10-2012 01:10 PM

Tommorow I might post some select few individual words from the board, with zero additional context. Because I love you guys and I want to share with you as much as I can without getting into trouble.

Also trolololololololol

Don't be silly, I never leave daft, rude or nonsensical messages on the office whiteboards. And I never pose the action figures in vulgar positions. And I never pee in Stewart's seat.

AvengingGibbons 01-10-2012 01:42 PM

"Story Store ____ with in-game visual ____" then something else.. (edit: could be stary skies) (edit: no it couldnt coz that isn't how you spell 'starry' xP..)

Scraby 01-10-2012 01:50 PM

uncover the middle line,everything under ABE HD XD

Phylum 01-10-2012 04:49 PM

Is the word down-and-to-the-left-of the title Bats?

moxco 01-10-2012 05:15 PM

These are probably just Wil's pot-plant watering instructions that he has blurred out so he can pretend to be informed.

I thought that said Story Stone Playboy.

Bodd T.W. 01-10-2012 08:02 PM

What's the deal with the board with PS3 BIG in red on the board to the right of the main one??

Varrok 01-10-2012 08:34 PM

When you show us some words and we... don't like them..., will you hide them again and pick some another for us?

No, he took a picture of the Abe HD whiteboard and blurred almost everything so we couldn't read it.

Oh what's this? I don't even... :tard:

I assume that was for Strangers Wrath.

Wil 01-11-2012 01:35 AM

The board on the floor is nothing to do with Abe HD. I'm not sure it's even to do with Stranger. It's behind a not-yet-put-together desk that's been there probably since February.

OK, some contextless words from the board, carefully selected for tone and SPOILERS.
  • Extra
  • Bats
  • Better
  • Skeeter
  • New
  • Boulders
  • Different
  • Gratuity
  • Euphoria

moxco 01-11-2012 02:22 AM

Now take another word from each sentence but don't tell us to which of the former words they pair with.

AvengingGibbons 01-11-2012 02:23 AM

The bats could work if they didnt leave the screen.

Xavier 01-11-2012 02:24 AM

Oooooh Skeeter, that's a good one.

Havoc 01-11-2012 04:23 AM

I also promote Xavier's original Skeeter description:

:

Skeeter are giant moskitos, they grip you head and fly 20cm up you can do nothing, just scream and try to get out... I saw it in a video


JennyGenesis 01-11-2012 04:26 AM

Euphoria is what captured my attention, could that be a game changing mechanic?

Dynamithix 01-11-2012 04:29 AM

Fuck yeah, Skeeters.

Euphoria is a game engine. I'm assuming they are considering using it or parts of it for Abe HD. It can do pretty neat things.



Gratuity as I know it is a form of tipping and in games it's a term used to reward people with certain items, often for participating in Beta's or other tests. Maybe they plan on some ingame reward for those playtesting or something?

JennyGenesis 01-11-2012 06:36 AM

I Didn't know it was a game engine, that looks really cool and could work well with Abe given the sort of game it is.
