Project skyscraper / no man's sky arg

I haven’t seen any mention that the site in question appears to be a Wordpress built website. If you append the address with /wp-admin, which is a default authentication directory on WP sites, it responds.

I wouldn’t think a serious ARG would use such a basic Content Management Site.

Waking Titan used Wordpress as well, iirc.

Ah really? Didn’t know that

Waking Titan did.

Wow, that’s really awesome! I was sadly not a member of the community during the Waking Titan days, and am just now realizing what awesomeness I missed out on. I tried using the way back machine a bit ago too, but didn’t really know what do with any of the information. I’m definitely out of my depth here, but I’m enjoying the ride. I have a working theory that may be way off base, and I may be thinking too literal, but my engineer-adjacent wife says that the thing on the project skyscraper website looks like it could be something called a Point Cloud, which engineers could import as an .xyz file into Autodesk or Revit and fly around it with better camera angles and stuff to see if it forms anything useful/cool. Obviously, this is complicated and I can’t do it, but maybe someone can? This makes a bunch of sense to me considering the guy is called The Architect, but again, I could be way off base and thinking too literal

Let’s say our social media attempt doesn’t work. What’s our next play?

Doesn’t hurt to hit this from any other angles we can think of. We’ve got a planned time to all arrive on the site simultaneously at 11PM CET which should be interesting.

The Game Detectives Wiki gives a good overview of all that happened back then. Anything that happened on here from that time is still present here in our own archives, if you wish to have a look back into history.

I assume you meant to say CEST?
So in 25 minutes?

The above can be done through the options during post creation, it allows for everyone to see the date/time correct for their own timezone

I got that time from NMSCord so not 100% tbh

20 minutes from now would be great!

I feel like either of those two should be the intended route for progress. If not, it might just be more of a waiting game for @the_architect to go rogue again. If it is the latter, I do hope that our attempts at poking and prodding turn up more small bits and pieces to mull over while we wait.

Agreed. It has occurred to me that we’re just meant to wait and observe what it does, but I love engaging with these so much lol

Ah yes, I see now, that would be @Oskar1up gathering users to join the effort.

You know what, I think we should all join in on that effort, I feel we owe him that much at least! (y’all know why)

I’m standing by ready to refresh!

I know someone was trying side domains for project skyscraper, but couldnt find the reply in the thread, no idea if this one had been found, it only says “Is this real?” in the about section

No idea if I still have a CAD software, but I’ll give it a try in case I do and report back with whatever I find! You could have something there with the Point Cloud!
