Project skyscraper / no man's sky arg

They spend a lot of time here. They obviously like it.

They don’t say much, but they never leave a mess in the toilets.

Speaking as the resident Cleaning Lady, I can confirm, no mess left behind. They are neat and tidy. :sparkles:

Edit: I noticed they prefer a zero with a dot in it rather than the zero with a slash.

Is there a hint that there is something in the tower picture?

There’s a comment, but it doesn’t seem to refer to the tower picture.

I carefully clicked the Steam forum, the NMS and LNF Discords, and reddit, covering my eyes, peaking out, and saw… neither hype, hubbub, nor hullabaloo? :pleading_face:

As far as we know, they have only 'breached" 2 places. Here and the NMS reddit where they left a pic but then the account got blocked.

But how much of that was planned?

I have a bit of a problem with this - I agreed to take on the role of Leader in this group - and I see it as part of that role to inform members of NMS related things that are happening. So when we became aware of the ARG, I felt it was necessary to tell the group.

I don’t see it as my role to act as publicity agent for whoever is devising the ARG. If individual members want to tell their friends, or other groups, about it, then I think they should feel free to do so - but we don’t have any duty to the person or people responsible to promote their product.

Personally, I hope this is a well-produced, well managed ARG - and if it is, then I hope it succeeds. If I can help them along in small ways, then I will. But they haven’t asked me for my help - I don’t have a clue who they are.

It’s still only a short while since we found the thing. Let’s give it some time for word to get round.

Completely agree :+1: Wasn’t an exhortation. :slight_smile:

Oh… That reminds me… a company I worked for in the late 2000s made an “paranormal investigation” ARG once, to advertise software, that completely bombed because nobody cared. I didn’t even know what an ARG was. And apparently nobody told the employees. They went through with it and had some plants ask leading questions in the (dead) forum, because there was hope that it catches on when people see an interesting discussion. I felt alas the youtubers (hired actors) were not likeable enough.
We at least remember the actors in WT fondly. :slight_smile:

I think I figured out whose behind it. It’s Poly! Poly is making it. Their plausible deniability is coming off a tad too strong :stuck_out_tongue:

I see you, mr cyclops. I see you in that tower!

I just had a look, and it suddenly dropped to 11 although it said 16 when I arrived…

I think the word must be getting out because there certainly aren’t 16 of us here right now as far as I can tell.

Judging by the percentages for memory and awareness, it looks like we’re still waiting for it to wake up.

I imagine the creators have their own time scale. Once it wakes, I expect the main site to go live. At the moment, we’re just peeking round the back door. And they know it.

It’s also entirely possible it’s just @jedidia going all out on promoting the release of Orbital Margins demo on steam :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello, old Waking Titan participant, new poster. I wanted to mention that it’s possible to view the sitemap of the site where you can view all?? of the available images on the site and some of the links. It doesn’t list the /tr4ce link in the sitemap, but I thought the /about section was funny: About – project-skyscraper

“Is this real?”

First of all, welcome back. Unfortunately, in your absence, we spent your back salary.

Secondly, great find! Very funny, and exactly the question people are asking.

Dang, now I can’t go on that cruise…

And then last thing before I lurk again: SLEEP MODE – project-skyscraper

There’s a sleep mode page which is just stating status=nominal
