Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[jamistara]

Oh god guys, looks like they finally removed the newest image of the house and the poem along with it on the aamfp site. So we're either getting something new very soon, or they are working on something else on the site for a new reveal. Excited. Gonna be looking extra hard now. Unless it's just me who doesn't have the house/poem anymore?

I came here because of the "Lost poem"

The site's source code has changed, too. There used to be the following message hidden in the code:

<!--not an ARG, only gave away free copies of the game.-->

It had been there since March when the first teaser image was revealed. It ain't there now. Hmmmm.

EDIT: just to be clear, the message was there right up until today; I had checked it only yesterday to add the message to the Info Portal, so something is afoot.

Getting excited again...

The Time has come, if they release it within the next 4-6 weeks it would be realistic to have a release date any moment now!

*Refreshing like a psycho*

I felt confused when I clicked on the main webpage, and had no 'poem with image' show up, so I hope this means good news is on the way.

*crosses fingers*

I think we are all getting exited for nothing ...just sayin'!

Maybe you're right, but the question is: Why do they remove a Poem-Picture after only 2 days when all the other Poem-Pictures have been online for weeks/months?

The only logical reason for me is to create space for something else -> otherwise why would you create such a Poem-Picture just to have it on your website for 2 days ?

Agreed, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the devs removed the poem because some people were complaining that it didn't meet their poetic expectations - whatever they may be. I felt like that particular poem had meaning though, especially the ending: and light up her head, I could be wrong but I think it's a metaphor for Halloween: lighting up a Jack-o'-lantern.

The removal of the "not an arg" message in the source code is more interesting to me than the disappearance of the image/poem.

Matthew Sergison, the artist who created the teaser images, said the images were part of a pre-release teaser campaign. Maybe we've reached the end of that part of the campaign. If that's the case there's no need for the "not an ARG" message to remain in the source code.

That's not to say no other pre-release teasers will come or that the game's release is imminent, but maybe it's just the end of the image/poem phase.

They're going to put a counter up there: <div id="counter"> … </div> This div is directly above the banner on the top left corner!

Hmmmm. Animated lantern? That's what the very first teaser trigger was, I wonder if it's been there since then or if it's going to point to something different soon.

Here's the lantern gif they used for the first teaser:
