Universal Land Sliders (by Prettygreat) [TouchArcade Game of the Year 2015]

Yes, some code, but not on a uniform background, it was variable. So maybe the code and map are linked? Does anyone here know Morse code? Maybe the deleted spaces are dots/dashes, and remaining spaces dashes/dots?

 

Nice! Have you tried that on the other photo?

 

The results of that for the first few lines is "1 @ääq22p(@h0dx/"qcab0"" so I doubt more code

 

Yeah, it doesn't do a very good job with text though so just a blur of color

 

I confirmed that the dot pattern is exactly the same, going back to my earlier theory that the pattern may be what we need, and not what is behind it. Check your image sizes. Mine are both 900 x 900.

There are some areas of the map with black bars. I wonder if that is relevant.

 

Okey Dokey. Thanks for trying. I looked at that first image again, and now don't think it is a related map. Grrrr...

 

I'm trying to compare the 'map' with Brisbane seeing as that's where the devs are based, no luck so far

 

Here is the dot pattern isolated.

 

It must be something to do with the pattern but i've tried binary, morse, QR code. What else could it be?

 

I've tried image search too, with your version of the image, and SoyLocoMoco's B&W version. Nada.

 

At this point the clues have got a little dull, they kinda need to give a clue how to 'unlock' the secret of the images because now we have 2 images that aren't helping at all

 

I agree. Throw us a bone, Prettygreat.

 

Really? The ARG has only been going on a few days and it's keeping a lot of people in this thread talking about the game. I think the pacing is working out just fine and can't wait for it to continue. If they bled content and hints all at once, we'd all be wishing there was still mystery to the thing.

You don't fast-forward a Hitchcock movie just to see how it works out

 

You're right. I like to watch Hitchcock movies one scene at a time, then pause it for 24 hours. Just kidding. The bonus game is a fun mystery however it plays out. and Land Sliders is a fun game.

 

So, I've found all the regular characters now. Before I found them all, I also found 2 gold characters, so my total character count is 52. I have not, however, gotten any new gold characters since finding all the regular ones. What has everyone else found? Anyone found gold characters after finding all the regulars? I'm wondering if I should save my coins, but I'm not sure what I'd be saving them for anyway.

 

I got the Gold Old Timey character very early on. That's the only one I have so far.

 

Im up to 60. The gold characters appear completely randomly, my fave gold so far is the gold glitch!

 

The patern will give us a new code to enter ingame and that will unlock smth.

 

Who would be willing to start a land sliders wiki with me and a group?

 

Does this look like a video game map to anyone else? I'm guessing the black bars are censoring place names that would be a giveaway
