So in approximately 42 hours it will go live? Maybe, unless it's a random increase.

I'm at 13% now, I wonder if it goes up 1% every hour...

EDIT: it's at 14% now, so that's fucked that theory XD

Yet again you are being slow :3

If it goes to 16% at around 20 minutes then indeed it it progressing 2% per hour but not at 0 and 30 minutes as most people would expect.

RE: Frictional Games Super Secret Project Discussion Topic

And of course as always FAIL.

By the time I write this post it's still 15%

Let's look at our data:
  • At 01:07 AM Paddy edits his post and informs us that it is 14%.
  • At 01:48 AM Paddy again informs us that it is 15%

See the pattern? Every 40 minutes (approximately of course) it goes up 1%. So I predict at around 2:28 AM it will go up to 16%. Let's see if I am right.

Note: The hours might be different because I don't know exactly how the GMT system at the forum works.

I WAS RIGHT!!!

Have I told you how much I rule? Cool (just kidding Tongue)

timer ++ every ~40minutes ( I think a bit more)

No wonder it went insane.

There is no pattern, from 3 to 4 it took almost a hour but from 4 to 5 - 20 minutes.

@Kein
Thanks for pointing that out.
I haven't even noticed the site when it was [2,5]%. So it's not even a timer. Or it's a randomized timer.

YEEEEESS, finally! You should have seen my face when I noticed Thomas' tweet. Big Grin

That would mean we reach 100% in about two and a half days.

I think this sentence is hinting at the "intellectually more demanding themes" this game is about, how Thomas once expressed it in the blog. There were hints at the idea of solipsism in the leaked concept art, which seems to fit nicely with "Cogito ergo sum".

21%.

Just a guesstimate (no maths from me), but it seems like it'll be PROBABLY revealed late late sunday/early monday.

I really really hope it's closer to release than Routine is. I need some sci fi themed horror and fast.
