99% here

#22

It seems to have reverted to 94%.

#23

95% now…perhaps 5 hours to go

#24

I just wanted a short trailer but it’s some arg thing :frowning:

Interesting video in https://nextfrictionalgame.com/#2656.

The background “face” picture flashes with different images, one of them is some broken-up text that when patched together says:

[COLOR=‘SeaGreen’]“It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” - Philip K. Dick

The quote is from VALIS.

I’m not sure if the corrupted text images in the “Vivarium” file contain anything of interest

I’ve seen some people saying that this looks a lot like the SCP Containment Breach Wiki thing. Never read it myself but maybe they’re connected in some way.

#27

…you mean the SCP foundation? The site came first.

Edit: but yeah, the video, that’s gotta be an SCP thing.

#28

Frictional Games and SCP… My god.

#29

The only weapons will be a bottle of white-out and a big red stamp that says “redacted”.

#30

So since the first video was uploaded at 0% or 1% and there are 7 more videos to go judging by the empty space, if it’s regular we should be getting a new video every 14% or so.

#31

I love how Phillip K. Dick, a B list or even a D list writer in his time, became a total cultural lynchpin for the new millennium decades after his death.

#32

Nice video of something

The next loading bar is something about a system intrusion and the system is locking itself down.

There was also some cipher text in the source code that someone found out went to

#34

Not quite sure why, but that gave me chills. Touche, frictional, touche.

One of the devs is hinting at something happening tomorrow.

Gameplay! It’s coming to PC and PS4. Also 2015, so far away :frowning: .

#37

That’s not broad daylight at all.

#38

Yeah, I don’t know where that quote came from. It’s been pretty obvious for a while that their next game would be scifi. Not sure. I think it looks cool though. Frictional said that this trailer is a mockup, they made the level and stuff specifically for the trailer. The player in the trailer isn’t the main character of the game and this level won’t be in the final game.

#39

Game engine seems marginally improved. That tunnel looks so Alien-like. Release in 2015 sucks. I was hoping for Halloween 2014.
Oh well, means we’ll get a better game in the end.

Quote from one of the developers:

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
