Re: Game Hint #1

color modified, some of the words are readable. I could probably change the levels a bit more to get it better. Also I flipped it horizontally because the text would be backwards on the other side of the page.

Re: Game Hint #1

It's a shop. I can tell from the pixels and the...metadata.

Also, checking out the file deeper, there seems to be some interesting embedded XML data. I don't know if this is common with Photoshop on OSX, but here it is anyway.

Re: Game Hint #1

I doubt the actual hint is the fish. I think it may have more to do with the page in the background. If they really wanted to make the Opah the clue, then they would have simply copy and pasted a picture. .

Just something interesting though " An opah has four types of flesh, each a different color"

Re: Game Hint #1

The fish is shaped like a football. Footballs, or rugby balls, will be used as game pieces.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
