Re: Game Hint #1

i highly doubt the game has anything to do with water... and the writing probably is insignificant to the hint. maybe the name of the fish means something? lampris guttatus is the latin name.

Re: Game Hint #1

I kinda like an idea of robots having to traverse a walkway suspended above water and drop objects into a pool with holes in it for points - thus the robots do not have to interact with the water and the new systems provide depth perception
(if it is even water -- I doubt)

FIRST n00b - crazy ideas

Re: Game Hint #1

It could have something to do with a torch and neck based on the latin name.
BTW @ pinballwizard96 won't the bots fall in the water possibly?

Re: Game Hint #1

I found this when increasing sharpness and contrast. It has poka dots or a grid. Robotic checkers?
I also found something else and will post it later. Don't know if this is any help...

Re: Game Hint #1

Here's the next thing I found... a cryptic message? Also, there seems to be a blotch where nothing seems to be in the upper portion. I think I see letters hidden into it. I made this by sharpening the image multiple times.

Re: Game Hint #1

So I'd like to appologise in advanced if this has already been discovered, but has anyone found where this picture came from? if it was from a book what was it's title? To me that seems like the best chance we have for getting an edge. (however futile this attempt is, its still fun!)
