Countdown

[Ixnatifual]

My guess: countdown 'til end of closed beta and start of open beta.

Except there wont be an open beta. They want people to play the game only when its finished, which is pretty respectable. Pre-ordering however it might be.

I tried throwing money at the countdown screen to no effect.

well... last 24 hours of freedom

Hoh um, since the "countdown" has disabled even the "buy" page, maybe they're launching a new website design? =)

(trailer and/or preorder would be nice too)

It better be the release of the game, 'coz I don't have to go to work tomorrow. What I'm I supposed to do, just sit home and NOT play Grimrock 2

Dammit. I have an appointment tomorrow with a notary to sign a deed for my new apartment. It's 2 hours after the counter goes to 0. I'm wondering if he'll understand if I cancel and reschedule that.

I just hope AH have their servers beefed up properly. I would expect lots of traffic tomorrow.

p.s.
Has anyone looked at the countdown page sources?

I did and found 4 videos. But I won't spoil the fun for you. Go look around on your own.

Ok, ok. If you view source of the page, it mentions 2 files in lines 78 and 79: video/bg.mp4 and video/bg.webm. Both have the same content, just use different format. That gave me some ideas for looking around and I found this http://grimrock.net/countdown/video/. There are 2 extra videos there. One is a placeholder, but the second one is 6,1MB large HD video. What can we get from that? It looks like an improved version of dungeon tile from LoG2. The ceiling is different, there are arches above now, the pillars are more uneven (I like that).

Oh, and I found a bug in this video. When the camera approaches to the second torch, there's a small grating appearing on the left wall that wasn't there just a second ago.

Message to AH: We'll get to the juicy LoG2 details, even if it will require looking through obscure videos, hidden somewhere on your server.

Any notice about minimum requirements?

At the end of countdown i suppose we can see first video of the game and perhaps release date.

[Dandy]

So, is this the countdown for the release or the beta on steam?

When looking closer the whole corridor shows a sudden blurr too. My take: either a video cut or a hidden teleport
