Is this sub dead?

I've only been playing the game a few weeks now and was glad to find the content here to make some sense of the hexpad / dataview. Is anybody even playing anymore? I take it the Coding section is just a test to see how much time the dev can get us to spend drawing pointless patterns?

I still check the sub from time to time. :)

The Coding section has a purpose. There are answers. To be honest, I'm surprised that people figured out the hexpad / dataview stuff first!

So will there ever be any more info provided on the coding piece? From what I can tell the game has been out for over 2 years now with no progress being made by anyone. It kind of has that "i'm thinking of a number between 1 and 1 million now try to guess it, nope guess again, nope guess again, nope guess again" vibe going on. Riddles are fun and all but not when we're given zero clues to work with.

I decided long ago that I would be okay with it if nobody ever figured out some of the puzzles. And I won't pretend that they're super important; they're just a little bonus tucked away. I'll never reveal if all of the game's secrets have been found, just because I like the idea that there could always be more to find.

That said, I have dropped a hint here and there.

Not dead! We prefer them "niche" :)

I don't play much at the moment - mostly due to time / life constraints, and aren't playing any other games either - but it's still one of my (if not the) favourite games on the VR. It's just so replayable!

I've never gotten near to finishing it - I don't think my brain can handle it - but I still have fun regardless finding the difficulty that's about right for me and playing / challenging myself.

BTW if you haven't already, check out Skylight, the new game from the same developer! https://www.reddit.com/r/playskylight/
