From skatehead on the official forums:

heheh the discoverer is at it again

i converted to the dvorak layout a few weeks ago, ive since changed back, but the periods in the message made me thing of the placement of the period on the dvorak keyboard)

so i tried typing the keys as they are placed on the dvorak keyboard, but on my non dvorak system, and to my surprise, it started to form words

"Project Offset" (working title) is a first-person shooter set in an epic fantasy world.

FightyF · Apr 23, 2007

Anyone know anything about IP masking and whatnot? Is it possible to add to my program an ability to mask the IP or generate new ones for each click? I have no knowledge on this subject, so forgive me if the questions sound stupid.

Will start google research now...

Looking at the bar, I don't think I'm the only one who lost interest.

If this is an image of the philosophy of the developers, then this game will be the worst grindfest ever. ever.

the bar is filling up slower, because each new bar increased the amount of needed visitors greatly...

nice!

K I'm buying this game.

I trust them. Anyone with the brains to make a fantasy-style game with original concepts like those gets enough props from me to guarantee a purchase. I saw the concept art so far and I'm happy with the results.

Now please just make sure it's BF2-ish, and have customizable avatar and everyone will buy it. It's the only reason people play WoW you know, to get a feeling they achieve something in their lives by obtaining greater "rewards" they can walk around with (like some buy fancy cars or drive motorcycles)!

Masenkame · May 2, 2007

Wow, this is going to take forever. Just bumping the thread for people who haven't seen it yet.

Oh goodness.

So each time the bar fills up we get a new screen?

Someone should post this on a totally unrelated forum, like CNN or something, with a catchy title.

Like, I should have Digged it back in the frenzy of the AACS code? Or how about "Square Enix announces FFXIII shifts to DS exclusive"?

JDSN · May 7, 2007

This way of advertizing is quite smart, gamers interested in it have to do some filthy viral marketing so they get rewarded with pics.

dear god, it's still not even half way

I disagree. It's fallen off the radar of hundreds, thousands of people. Unless their intent is to touch as many people as possible (so in the future as many people as possible say, "oh, I remember seeing that."), this hype is fizzling... fast.

Thunderbear · May 9, 2007

I lost interest over a week ago, I'll be happy to see the video but I can't be bothered to do anything to help it come faster. It's a bit ridiculous.

Salazar · May 9, 2007

The suggestion at the Project Offset forum is that this bar is perhaps not about clicks, but relates instead to time. Admittedly, the evidence is thin -

"I just made 40 different people click on it and the bar hasn't moved" - but people have to believe in something. The pace is actually glacial enough for it to be an indicator of development progress.

Problem for this theory is that the initial movement (and recent immobility) of the bar conforms very closely to the template of viral marketing f*ckup. It's pretty much a given, I guess, that the developers aren't going to talk about what happened or is happening, no matter how stagnant things get. Wonder who - if anybody - is angry at whom about this (PR, developers, publisher). Moreover, wonder if this will be done before E3 or the other shows, because surely something Offset related is going to go down at one of them.

Ether_Snake · May 21, 2007

Well I think we can forget about this one

TrueReligion · May 21, 2007

I've clicked it about 35 times.

Salazar · May 21, 2007

You think they'd let TGS and E3 go by without showing at least something ?

Console announcements and videos - game of at least one of the shows.

Tieno · Jun 12, 2007

lolz, it's still going. LAME!

AltogetherAndrews · Jun 12, 2007

I think they might have overestimated the interest in this game, at least beyond message board rats like ourselves.

Uncle · Jun 12, 2007

This is backfiring.

Qwerty710710 · Jun 12, 2007

I think we all should give this site another boost. Go on there site.

tegdf · Jun 12, 2007

over a month and the bar has barely moved

No. They don't deserve it. It must fail so they don't pull this kind of stunt again. They are torturing us just for images.

FormulaOne · Jun 12, 2007

This company has 2 objectives:

1) Take you for a ride of their Vaporware roller coaster.

2) Wait for Epic to buy them out and assimilate their technology.

AltogetherAndrews · Jun 12, 2007

I mean, isn't it kind of embarrassing though? The first couple of images were revealed fast as hell, and I suppose that caused them to up the ante for this next reveal. Only there isn't enough interest to push it along with unique hits. Maybe it's just some glitch.
