Venctin Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It fits, if all dots are vowels and X's are consonants. Just a thought, also fits with the whole ouroboros thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Fair Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 IDtenT from the Codex figured out something different: Every X means a letter, and that letter means a number which is based upon their place in the alphabet. X.XX.TX is X.XX.20X. An examplet B.AA.TM = 2/11/2013 So the Xs mean a release date. J_C from Codexia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this as well....the Xs will likely change gradually one by one until we are left with what is essentially a release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risen Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) well, here are my guesses, X.XX.TX is X.XX.20X, if the last one is years, and the middle is month, then X.1X.20X, because there is no "0" in alphabet, so, i would say that at november/december the game will be fully announced, also, if the X at the beggining its not the day but the month, is probably a 9, maybe this friday, they will announce it. But, it could also be eternity, the name of project/game, assuming that the . at the beggining is not meaningless and the other ones are not just for separating the numbers Edited September 12, 2012 by Risen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searinox Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Interesting new idea, though the pattern ". X . X X . T X" starts off with a period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searinox Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Also, the only words in the english language to match the pattern are acerbity, alacrity, enormity, eternity and identity. Imo, only Eternity sounds epic enough to be a fantasy RPG title and also works well with the ouroboros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozape Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) IDtenT from the Codex figured out something different: Every X means a letter, and that letter means a number which is based upon their place in the alphabet. X.XX.TX is X.XX.20X. An examplet B.AA.TM = 2/11/2013 So the Xs mean a release date. Interesting. Most games release in the USA first though, which is on Tuesdays, while February 11th is a Monday. Could mean an all digital release if he/she is right and the code is a release date. Oh, and two games released in less than a month. SP: TSoT comes out on the 5th of March. Doesn't seem too likely.

Tigranes Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Nobody would ever put in a release date in the initial announcement.

Lexx Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Maybe it is the date for the announcement which is being announced with this announcement.

Zack Fair Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was wrong. The new code shows that it cannot be a date. Eternity is more likely. J_C from Codexia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C2B Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Considering http://kotaku.com/5935737/the-guy-who-made-planescape-torment-tells-us-what-a-spiritual-successor-would-look-like Chris Avellone: [Game development studio] Obsidian has talked about Kickstarter for some time. Not to put myself or Planescape down, but the range of ideas we've had internally for a KS are, IMO, better than doing a spiritual successor to Torment, and it involves more of the powerhouses in the studio rather than turning me into the Nameless One. I wouldn't be sure that it's already the spiritual successor to Torment. Also because Sawyer seems to be directing this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainwarrior Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I like the idea of . and X being vowels and consonants, but how do you justify the Y? The Y at the end of "eternity" is a vowel. Excepting the Y situation, "eternity" is the only word I could find that fits that vowel/consonant pattern. If you give up on that, though, there's a lot of fun possibilities. Here's a few: iniquity capacity chastity divinity biscuits ****pits infinity dynamite fatality gunsmith humanity recruits impunity mesquite vitality nobility rarebits totality urbanity velocity transits opposite debility atrocity circuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
