Abe HD

[Wil]

[STM]

Tease.

[Manco]

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

[STM]

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

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

[JennyGenesis]

All I can see is Story Stone and Abe HD.

[Manco]

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]

I won't be satisfied until

A: We can see the unedited photograph

OR

B: Somebody spots something on there about Quiksave.

[Jordan]

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

[Varrok]

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]

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.

[MeechMunchie]

That was before Wil got there, of course.



This was after.

[Wil]

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

This was after.

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]

"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]

uncover the middle line,everything under ABE HD XD

[Phylum]

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

[moxco]

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

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

I thought that said Story Stone Playboy.

[Bodd T.W.]

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

[Varrok]

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

[enchilado]

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?

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

[sheridanm962]

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

[JennyGenesis]

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

I assume that was for Strangers Wrath.

[Wil]

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]

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

[AvengingGibbons]

The bats could work if they didnt leave the screen.

[Xavier]

Oooooh Skeeter, that's a good one.

[Havoc]

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]

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

[Dynamithix]

Fuck yeah, Skeeters.

[Havoc]

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

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]

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.
