Glyph Validation/Verification
I was wondering, how does the verification system work? (I'm in the middle of the first floor level)

-Does the glyph color change mean:
a. definition is correct
b. glyph matches image
c. both image and definition are correct
if C then it would be nice if we could be a 2 stage change, one color for word and one color for image, or color change for word and check mark (on sketch page) for image-glyph match.

-Does the color change only update when everything on a page is correct?

- How exact does the word need to be? I.E. for the water gate puzzle: would I and Me both work for the same glyph? I have seen some confirmed glyphs, where the translation has a situational synonym used (unfortunately I cant remember which one it was beyond the plural substitutions of a repeated gylph).

Great game so far, I enjoy the thought puzzle games. Unfortunately because of mild color blindness I tend to have to quit a bunch of puzzle games because they rely on color match puzzles with close shades (yellow and bright green / dark green and brown are the worst issues, looking at you Myst series & Rama) but luckily I wont have to worry about that here.

Hello,
The words you type are just for you. The only thing required here is to match the glyphs with the images. When all the images on a double page are labelled with the correct glyphs, they will be validated. Do not hesitate to read the tutorials again. They're in the HELP menu.

The validator will tell you what the images do.

I got stuck on the first one too. I'm on the demo.

After I got the images to the correct glyph, you'll know what the glyphs do/mean. Just guess and you will see.

The words you choose/type in are just for you. I used the words [For The Alliance!] and that is okay because that is what came to my mind. Further you can always change these words And yeah, as the dev said, the words are just for you.

Also, I think the Apple Vision thingy has color filter mode so you can filter colors on games you haven't been able to play. Just a thought. I don't have the item but I used the thought-forming machine (google) and got that info for you.

And yea, cool game, devs.

:coffee:

I've moved on to the second puzzle. My character has a friend. At least he has a friend. I'm sstill working on having one.

on my language book under warriors, i have still 4 words to validate but im sure the glyphs are correct (boat, key, scale, harp) but i dont know where to go to validate them in white color and be told i learned the warriors language 100%... i ran their level all over again to see if i missed a room or wall painting !!! NOTHING FOUND... so now i struggle on the teleport door conversation between races.

You must have missed the place - you need to find a small room with 4 wall panels and a central 'booth'type structure and a torch off to the left - you have to go down one lvel further to twist the 'booth'type structure and use the torch in a special way. If you don't recognise the place, I suggest looking up a playthrough to find it.

hi, thanks :)

sorry but... ive went to that place i call the "projected-stars-booth" with my blue torch after spinning the axis correctly and the door opened to the TREASURE room.

once there, i see a vicking boat and lots of treasures lined up in the shelves which i grabbed the STAR crystal with the help of the elevator and before leaving i looked at the broken mural (with the scientist staring at the stars through a looking glass, saying he will help the warriors)

so i left the treasure room and proceeded to go and place the crystal in the telescope and so on making trough the Bards level too.

im already at the ALCHEMIST level, but i went back to complete my WARRIORS dialogues in the teleport gate because of those 4 missing glyphs

It's not entirely clear what it is you're missing to get your last 4 glyphs validated.

if your question is that you haven't got the PAGE in your book with the drawn pictures where you can put in the correct glyphs to validate them?
Then that page 'pops' in that 'torch puzzle' place.
See for example a playthrough like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxP48Axg6iw&t=6990s from about time 1:12 on - where you can see where those two pages in your book appears.

Or if your question is where you have to be to get the glyphs into your glyph list?
Then that happens when you read the book inside the Bell.ringers room at the top of the Bell Tower. After you've given him the bottle and he has left his room to sit on the roof and look at the stars.

----

Because after you have those two pages in your book. And you have all 4 glyphs in your glyph list. Then you just place the 4 glyphs in the correct circles on the two pages in your book - and then they validate.
