Nice. I got to the white screen and heard the audio. Good stuff. Who did the voice at the end? The quality was excellent.

-OH and by the way... was I supposed to have to click on all the buttons for a while for the first audio clip to play? like some kind of puzzle? or was that loading time?

[Tbone]

Yes, the first puzzle is getting all the buttons to light up.

Our very own Lits did the audio!

[Anamodiel]

Lighting all those things up is hard as shit. Good work on that!

So far, I have one suggestion. The first time I got the access code wrong, I didn't realize right away that there was a button that lit up on the bottom right that allowed you to go back to the access code part. Can we make that button blink (sans sound) instead of just lighting up so it's more visible? I would have missed it if I weren't paying attention.

And why can't I remember the code?!?! I've been away too long already...

[Subb]

I agree with what Ana said. I'm having trouble with the code, too. Never been very good with these things... but I know what to use, I just don't know how to use it.

I'm not seeing any button that lights up on the bottom right...

EDIT: Nevermind. I see you need to get it wrong first.

It can be done in six clicks.

[Saint]

whats the hint for figuring out the code, Im not hearing any audio recordings

[Broin]

I love Yotogi....

[Anamodiel]

Try entering in a random answer, Saint, and then it will give you the repeat transmission of the clue that will eventually be given out to everyone as one of the first steps. It's just a bit of text.

Is there any way to disable Tabbing on this website? It made it very, very easy to find the star on the rotating galaxy (WE HAVE A ROTATING GALAXYYYYYYY!!!) and it definitely takes away from searching for the star. However, maybe we could make the star blink every three minutes or whatever to help people who are searching for it because it has a very, very small clickable area and would otherwise be almost impossible to find.

I love how the galaxy rotates. Maybe it was just because I was on a laptop and didn't have a mouse, but even after I knew where the star was, because it was moving and because the clickable area was so small, I found it very, very hard to actually be able to click it.

If I'm the only one experiencing that problem, don't worry about it. Feedback?

[Tbone]

Yotogi is working on expanding the area and making the sound increase as you get closer like he had originally done now that it moves around.

[Fuse]

If you hit replay then the point the audio overlaps.

[Ash]

If you hit replay then the point the audio overlaps.

That sentence makes no sense.

[Fuse]

1. Listen to the news audio.
2. Hit "Replay"
3. Immediately hit the point on the universe.
4. Listen to the news audio and the bedtime story overlap
5. Thank Fuse

[Tbone]

I get what he's saying now. Good find.
