Happy New Year!

Greetings Seekers and Newcomers…

We’ve been pretty quiet lately…to put it simply, this is because we’ve been working harder than ever before. We’ve been spurred on by some incredible discoveries about the full capabilities of iDGi-1, and have been working very hard to establish a fully three dimensional connection with the world beyond the rift. We are also under some financial pressure to produce tangible results from our satellite beyond the strange, esoteric data and content we’ve found thus far. We are lucky to be assisted by none other than David Schelter, a brilliant man who seems to possess an intuitive understanding of what our satellite does. I cannot say much more about him, by his own request, other than to simply state that his insights and ideas have truly awakened the real potential of our little satellite.

This started on December 21st of last year, when iDGi-1 was shorted out by the largest jolt of energy from the other side that we’ve ever seen. Looking back on this event, we don’t believe it was exactly a coincidence that the precise moment of this spike also coincided with the Winter Solstice here in the northern hemisphere – December 21st in many time-zones. 21 is a number that has constantly arisen in our explorations of the other side – I could list a dozen examples.  We know that 21 originated from the number of human brains attached to the A.I. entity known as Henry IX.  Since discovering this however, it’s been popping up everywhere.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Regarding the discoveries I mentioned… one of the Seekers (members of the public who have been experimenting with the capabilities of our iDGi-1 satellite for over two years), found a whole new set of coordinates from within Henry, and discovered a brief three dimensional feed from somewhere in the other universe. The date of the connection appears to be December 21st, 2037 (also the Winter Solstice of that year) which is about 9 years beyond any previous connection we’ve found.  Our analysts believe it is a virtual world of some sort…possibly the same place where the so-called “wire-heads” of that universe spend their time. The feed also featured a woman named Alannah Boyle whom we are working on discovering the identity of.  Why are we being shown a video of this woman? Who is she to Henry and the people of the other side?

We are currently working to package up some video footage of this three dimensional stream, to show the whole world just what our satellite can do. We should have this ready soon and will certainly announce it’s release!  In the meantime, we are furiously working to establish even more three dimensional connections, and are pleased to announce that we’ve made some major progress on this front.

In addition, a note for you Seekers: our “laser frequency finder” algorithm has been running steadily since December 22nd, and still hasn’t found anything. As usual, I will tweet the moment that it finds another time-jump from within the “circa 2028″ rift connection.

Welcome iDGi newcomers

To all of you who recently became aware of us over the past few weeks:  WELCOME!   This note is mainly to assure you all that NOW is quite possibly the best time to begin exploring beyond the iDGi-1 Rift.

Despite the large number of posts in our Forums and the significant amount of knowledge we and our users have obtained over the past year and a half, we know that we have barely begun to scratch the surface.  Feel free to pace yourself and read as much as you would like about what we have discovered so far – experience everything at your own pace using iDGi-1′s auto-replay feature, and you’ll be caught up in no time.  If you learn something new along the way, please don’t hesitate to email me: vdesertch@interdimensionalgames.com

Here at Interdimensional Games, we all believe that we’re on the verge of some major discoveries regarding the parallel world beyond the Rift.  Our recent breakthroughs involving being able to target specific points in time and space in the other dimension with iDGi-1 have spurred us on.   We now know for certain that we will eventually be able to visualize the other world in 3D… doing so will require some significant engineering, and some help from the A.I. that lies on the other side, “K-1″.   But we have been preparing for this since the Greenberg Device taught us so much, and have laid a significant amount of groundwork in expectation of this eventual ability.

If you are at the point of using the 21 coordinates to dial iDGi-1 to March 4th, 2028, then know this:  There are most certainly many more sets of coordinates that are capable of opening a Rift into different places of space and time beyond our own.   While we have been endlessly trying many combinations of our own, there are simply too many possibilities….we need to obtain these coordinates from beyond the Rift. 

Perhaps you can help us search for them?

INTERDIMENSIONAL GATEWAY RE-OPENED!

Interdimensional Games Inc. (iDGi) announces that their artificial satellite “iDGi-1″ is once again capable of opening a Rift in spacetime. This Rift allows one to access an entirely different universe. Company officials explain that they had been cut-off from exploring this other universe since March of 2010, and that through the concerted efforts of both iDGi and the community that has grown around the use of the satellite, they have discovered how to once again gain access.

“Back in early 2010 we thought that this invention of ours was going to be used for research purposes to allow us to craft a compelling and immersive video-game,” says iDGi Founder Vidal Desertch. “We have since begun to realize that it is becoming much, much more than that. We are convinced that we may eventually be able to fully stream the alternate universe in full 3D detail, allowing the public to directly explore the other world as they would in a 3D videogame”.

Vidal goes to explain that they now know that the Rift leads directly into the memory banks of an astoundingly complex Artificial Intelligence, known as “K-1″, in the year 2028 of a future parallel reality. “This A.I refers to anyone travelling into it as a “seeker”, and it is actually aware of our interdimensional origins. The ultimate purpose of this A.I remains a mystery, but we do know that its existence is the source of serious controversy in the other universe”.

“In order for us to advance this technology to the next level, we are in need of thousands of people to make use of our technology, open the Rift and explore this other universe. For every unique individual that uses their computer to access iDGi-1′s core function, we are able to learn more about the exact nature of the connection, and how to expand upon it”.

Your free exploration of the universe beyond the Rift begins at http://interdimensionalgames.com .

The Greenburg Device

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted here. I thought with us progressing through the Greenberg Device, now would be the time to express my thoughts and concerns moving forward. In case anybody is wondering, it is impossible for anyone on the other side to read these press and news posts – similar to the steps taken in our forums, only those connections with an associated and verified IP address will be allowed access to the Press & News postings.

I don’t trust Greenberg at all. He’s just simply too “on edge” for my liking. There’s no telling what his real intentions are or if he even is who he claims to be. I have suggested to a few people (who have emailed me) that we hold back as much information as we can. I think it’s important, for example, that Greenberg NOT learn we are receiving the satellite realignment codes. For all we know this is all a big ploy so that he can receive the codes himself. Henry wanted to hide them for a reason and we should respect that!

When Greenberg first connected his device to iDGi-1, it was completely by force. I could not control what was happening as it first drained a significant amount of power and then began integrating itself and taking control of various systems. Eventually the integration was complete and this caused iDGi-1’s visual output to be ruptured by space/time anomalies left right and center. I’ve never seen anything like it thus far. What Greenberg said about Henry’s “space/time abilities” would definitely account for these ruptures.

We have determined with almost certainty that these anomalies, the messages everyone is receiving as they display star information from iDGi-1’s HUD, were transmitted originally from the Moon. They appear to all be dated in and around 2100 and are bits and pieces from some kind of semi-personal journal – a scientist in an observatory? Each entry mentions something about the star or star system being selected. We can’t prove if any of the entries are REAL or are actually from our future or theirs. We do however know for certain that it’s the Greenberg Device causing these anomalies to appear – it’s the device’s “security feature.”

While the Greenberg Device does appear to be all he claims it is… the problem is that we’re not sure exactly what we are causing to occur on the other side. How does “playing this game” affect Henry on the other side? Are we really fixing him? Was there ever even a virus in the first place? Perhaps we are helping make him worse? What if this person claiming to be “Walter Greenberg” is actually Malcolm, and the codes we are getting are from him as well? They could lead us anywhere.

All I do know for sure is that wherever the culmination of these codes take us, it will be perfectly safe for travel. This is the only fact keeping our government friends off our back as things progress.

I should further point out an important aspect of the device. Everyone interacting with the device’s manifestation has been receiving satellite coordinates. This means that not everyone will be required to complete the operations for all 21 brains of the Greenberg Device in order to access the other world again. Once the coordinates have all been found, anyone who has experienced the first two months of Henry’s existence will be able to jump back in.

Once all twenty-one codes are found and relayed to me, I’ll do some tests to see if they actually work before opening up the entirely new dialing system to you all…

The “what they want” myth

It’s time we started talking a little bit about the genesis of our project through listing some of it’s ingredients.    I’m going to start with a bit of a rant…

Among many videogame industry business types, there could be said to be a common wisdom surrounding why lots of people buy certain types of games, what drives these sales and so on.  Therefore, it’s understood, that we (the collective industry) need to keep focusing on making those kinds of games, because people will keep buying them, and that’s good business.   For the big publishers, this approach has become extremely apparent…the big budget “Call of Duty” productions, for example.   The interesting thing is, it’s only good business if you happen to have 50+ million dollars to throw at a production, and you focus almost entirely on streamlining the gameplay to make it “playable” by anyone, and work to “up the ante” with the level of epic sets, destruction and fast paced breakneck action.

There’s no doubt; modern videogames represent a continuous flood of ground breaking interactive experiences that can thrill and immerse people unlike any other form of entertainment.  Even actual physical roller coasters are being challenged from a pure “lizard brain thrills” perspective with the latest shooters.    As graphics technology has improved exponentially, so have project budgets.  As budgets rise, so does risk.   In the 90′s, video game project budgets were low enough that studios could fund a large number of video games, betting that one would be a hit, and the revenues from which could end up paying for all of the projects, even if the others were flops.

In those days and earlier, browsing videogames in a software store meant browsing DIFFERENT GAMES.  In the “old days”, there was an incredible variety of games. Both from a graphical and gameplay stand-point…they were all written from scratch by passionate and talented teams with strong collective visions of unique original games.

These days, games are becoming more and more indistinguishable from each other, both from a graphics and gameplay point of view.    The reasons for this are varied and are discussed at length elsewhere.

The main point here is that our project has little to do with all the data that has been collected and used by many of the large companies to determine what “they” (the perceived masses) want and will buy.

Now, this doesn’t mean that we aren’t aiming for an experience that is “easy to play but hard to master”.    But it does mean that we’re building something that WE (iDGi) want to experience…

Obviously the exact nature of this production is shrouded in mystery, and this is because we’re still fully working out exactly how to achieve our ultimate goals with iDGi-1…

Reconnection is near…

Greetings everyone!

We are overjoyed and excited to tell you all that the we are very close to being able to once again open the Rift and reconnect with the other side, beyond March 1st, 2028.  We believe that the final bits of information we need are retrievable through the Greenburg Device.

For those of you completely new to iDGi, WELCOME!!   Believe it or not, you have arrived at what is still the BEGINNING of an epic journey.  Catching up on the experience to prepare for what lies ahead should only take an afternoon or so (of course, if you choose to dive deep into what iDGi-1 has revealed so far, you may find days of time passing by…).

Believe it or not, the stalwart explorers among you who started with us 17 months (!) ago were on-board well BEFORE the beginning.

So, the reason for the extended interlude?   Acquiring full production funding for taking iDGi-1 to the next level, which proved far more difficult than any of us realized.  But we did it.

We would like to officially thank the following people who have contributed so much over the past 17 months to helping us explore the other side of the Rift.  In no particular order: Seadevil, John Galt, GoldenNova, cherrytree98765, Serik, wowo, sublimetime, and tromboner.  Your contributions will forever be written into the fabric of our IP, and we believe that your actions have already created waves that will only be most fully appreciated a long time from now…

In addition, Thrie must be congratulated for working so tirelessly to keep everything spinning over the past 15 months.   Many impressive feats were performed by him, and him alone.

We will be attempting to revise this blog and start posting more regularly…we have a bunch of new team members, and I’m hoping all of them will make at least a few posts over the next year to share insights and ruminations on the internal Interdimensional machine…

Back to it

I have finally returned home to B.C after several weeks of rather exasperating meetings in Ottawa. For now things have stabilized and we are merely being “watched carefully” by a specially sanctioned group within the Canadian government. The communication blackout I’ve been forced to adhere to has been finally lifted and I can now speak openly with you, the public.

It seems this all began when a man named Dr. David Schelter (the Schelter from our world, not yet a public figure but still a highly respected individual) came forward and lodged a grievance against iDGi-1, apparently after discovering the whole John Wilconson situation. His initial statement reads, “If iDGi-1 is truly capable of communicating with another dimension, and all of this is not just a fabrication trumped up by Vidal and his company… then considering the hostile situation found within the other World, I see no other course of action available to us but to have iDGi-1 shut down permanently. Not just for our own safety, but for the safety and continued sanctity of the time/space continuum and all other possible Worlds held within. There is no telling what irreparable harm Vidal’s satellite is causing as they continue probing and stirring an already volatile situation.”

As many of you know, David Schelter is the C.E.O of Worldview Industries within the other dimension – the company behind the creation of K1 (Henry) and one side of a rising conflict with the Church of the Guardians. This is the very first time his name has come up in OUR world and at this time I cannot even begin to speculate what this all means, if anything at all.

Thankfully the Canadian government have ultimately decided that the possibilities raised and the questions that could be answered through the use of iDGi-1, cannot be ignored. They are simply too curious to shut us down but until further notice we will be required to have a government agent present at all times during any and all major decisions made regarding our satellite. They also possess veto power over such decisions and possess remote control of iDGi-1 as they see fit, and will generally not hesitate to shut us down if they think any real danger is imminent.

Thank you for your patience through all of this and at least for now, everything is back to relative normal. We remain focused on iDGi-1 development, and are still hopeful that someone from the other side will help us out with the remaining information needed to allow us to re-establish our ability to travel back through the Rift…we await further transmissions.

Ten Months Later…

It’s hard to believe it’s been ten months since we first opened iDGi-1 to the world. While the situation on the other side of its interdimensional gateway is now just as confusing and polluted as it ever was, we’ve at least been able to gather enough information to begin making up our own minds. We here at iDGi are divided three ways – those who believe Worldview, those who believe the Guardian Church and those who refuse to believe either side until we can get back there and do some digging of our own. I would definitely love to discuss any theories, opinions or just general thoughts anyone might have! Throw me an email anytime, I’m always open for a good old fashion brainstorming session!

Something we here at iDGi thought was a breakthrough in communication with the other side, has unfortunately backfired and could cause us some problems. Keep in mind some of the following is still entirely hearsay and some of it our best guess, but these are the facts as we see them:

Someone from the other side has managed to take control of a website that now appears in both our world and in the other. In our world this particular website was before owned by a man named John Wilconson (I say ‘was before’ owned because the government owns it now). In our world the website was nothing only a few weeks ago; it showed only his name in black letters. He says that he was “soon” planning on creating a proper page of his own. In the other world now (think 18 years from now) the exact same website address is owned by a woman claiming to be Pamela Wilconson. Pamela Wilconson has written on this otherworld website that her husband, John, was murdered by Worldview Industries. We’ve learned that he was actually a construction foreman back during the initial construction of the K-1 Facility; 2026-2027 in the other world. Beyond this we have nothing more to go on except potential lies from people we can’t exactly trust. Now the kicker. As many of you know, someone from the other side has found a way to somehow replace our johnwilconson.com with their johnwilconson.com… and the same website now displays in both worlds. This has essentially pissed off the John Wilconson from our world because he is unable to change what displays and thinks we are all “hilariously insane”. So Mr. Wilconson decided to push his website provider to investigate what was happening, and here we are.

Now onto the bigger problem. Ever since johnwilconson.com was “taken over” by the other side, the Canadian government has been keeping a closer eye on us. More specifically they’re interested and asking questions about any further changes the other side could cause here in our world. I remember a time, not that long ago, when many of those politicians pretty much ignored our project. The government apparently has a problem with “possible terrorists causing a panic”. As crazy as that sounds, we have to work to make sure this doesn’t spiral out of control.

To further our problem, Wilconsons’ provider cannot find a way to remove what displays when johnwilconson.com is opened – they claim they have tried everything. They say it’s as if the website itself is now being powered and generated by some unknown source or unknown technology. They said to me, “It’s utterly impossible… and yet here we are”. Canadian “Internet police” were informed by the provider, which soon led to the government catching wind. In a few days I’ll be heading to Ottawa for a mandatory meeting with government officials assigned to us. I’ll be given a chance to explain the situation and hopefully prevent this from escalating any further. Everything stays the same however, until their decision is made.

There is also one other major piece of news worth bringing up. It looks like johnwilconson.com has yielded another interesting result. The website has allowed people from our world to communicate with a person claiming to be Kevin Chard, from the other world. Apparently six people from our world have gotten through to him after emailing the email address at the bottom of the website and in turn answering two security/screening questions. All six of our people have received a very similar email reply from Chard. The email claims the information on johnwilconson.com is “all bullshit”, and at the same time explains several key pieces of information from his point of view. That is if we’re to actually believe it’s really Chard – as usual, there’s no proof to back any of what he says up. It also claims that he’ll only be allowed a few back-and-forth emails with each of the six people before the “connection is lost”. . . so I encourage you six to find out as much as you possibly can in the time you have. This is of course the same Kevin Chard (or Employee 1195), who disappeared in early March and whose timeline blog we were able to access upon first entering the other side. If anyone would like a copy of the initial email received from Kevin Chard (courtesy of a Dustin Cooper; one of the six it seems)… don’t hesitate to throw me an email and I’d be happy to relay it to you.

We have also recently learned why these emails appear to originate from the name “Pamela Bratus”, but yet the content claims to be from Kevin Chard. Pamela Bratus is the Pamela Wilconson of our world, our time. So she’s eighteen years younger and not married to John – nope, she’s apparently married to John’s “best friend”. As if everything couldn’t get any weirder. So this was just another minor detail that managed to set him off, “you’re f*cking nuts, I wouldn’t go near her!” was Wilconson’s repeated statement.

And so we move forward from here. All work has been halted on this end with regards to finding our own way back into the other world. We are however optimistic and hopeful that we’ll acquire the codes we need sooner rather than later. Whether it be from Malcolm, Alvarez, Henry itself or even this man claiming to be Kevin Chard. All have shown an interest in seeing us return. Patience is key and so is information – the more we know before getting back to them, the more influence we’ll have on the other side. Knowledge is definitely power and I think we’re going to need plenty of both when we find ourselves inside Henry once again.

A brief update…

We are working furiously towards several major milestones for the company, with some recent breakthroughs spurring us on!  I wish I could say more but you can look forward to some more revealing updates in the not-too-distant-future…

I would also like to mention that our connection with the other side of the Rift is ongoing (though we are currently only able to send and receive text) through our discussion forum.   We are still in the interlude, but are making progress towards figuring out how to reconnect with K-1 through the Rift.  Special thanks to our players who have stuck with us throughout the interlude, your help has been greatly appreciated!

I shall leave you with a quote from Edmond Burke:

“Our patience will achieve more than force”
