Apparently nobody ever thought that the texts at the throne/temple at the end of the world meant anything, so I am creating this...
Cryptography Challenge! The texts in gold and stone letters are not gibberish, they are just in a different kind of alphabet... The texts do have a bit more of information about the Golem, including his name. When his name is discovered I will upload early Golem unreleased concept art. Maybe there are some people out there who like this kind of difficult challenge like me, but if after some time this "puzzle" proves to be too difficult, I will give some hints. Maybe this game works better as a collaborative effort where you post your early discoveries it in this thread... let's see what happens! --------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE Congratulations! The name has been discovered and I have uploaded the concept art. You can find it at this thread, or in our image gallery: http://forums.aceteam.cl/index.php?autocom...um&album=15 |

Wow.
I think these kind of little extras make this game different than others. It just shows how you guys really put love into your work (at least, that's how I see it). Anyway, grats to the community for finding out and grats/thanks to you guys at ACE and especially Andres for being so awesome. |
