At first sight, we can already erase those three questions from the masterlist:
7. Who wrote the diary note?

9. Was this note left here for some purpose? Did the author want us to read this note?

25. The diary is not completed; where is the second part? Was it written? Does it exist right now? Where?

here:

I forgot to write something after Mati's comments between sub1ext and Sub2.
Now...

<I break my rule...>

some facts and research:

1) In October 2005(!) many elements of first version of game (must be sketch of Sub2) were ready! Diary pages, IDEA, 1/4 of game..
Wow Mateusz, you rule! :D

2) God. Now I see it...

Look at this comment:
Amanda:
Oh yeah, and that painting. Does that do anything?

Comment 154, Monday, October 24th 2005 02:17:00 PM

Murtaugh:
the painting has a signature on it.
sub_2

its a lighthouse where the second part will take place.

but - how is it going to be sub?.....

wait and see. :P

Submachine
single word on dark screen...

I didn't know what does it mean...

it was sub
and hell, from the start of development, lighthouse was going to be sub!

And from Sub2 sketch, we know how first game was called...

Chapter 1: The Machine

Sub Machine

OH MY...

as I understand: result is Lighthouse is underground, and...
it was all planned like this???

(hell, that's shock for me at least
:O)

how is it a shock? even in the lighthouse sketch it was clear from the second part of Murtaugh's note that the place was underground.

I didn't know Mateusz planned underground sub in Oct 2005.

And I asked (as if I was in 2005): what does on dark intro screen Submachine mean? There was no explanation in game.

And for me, it wasn't obvious for me that original Submachine means submerged/underground location. In that comment, Mateusz directly made hint.

And Sub + The Machine = Submachine

shock is because I saw this only now, after years.
:P

Of course the lighthouse was buried. I think the note in Sub2 stated that, its why he left the lighthouse, because they were going to bury it and his worst fear was being buried alive.

Liz backed it up further in Sub7 saying that no wonder they buried the lighthouse, the death toll was rising exponentially. So the lighthouse was located in the third layer, which is now shattered. We used the portal in the lighthouse which sent us to the loop, which I think is the same as the knot, it ties all layers together, placing the leaf on the pedestal, allowed us to access an entirely different layer, and sent us to the lab.

I think Mateusz has had the overall plot since the beginning, he's just added onto it over the years. It was around when Sub4 was made he said Submachine would go to 10, and he has so far kept true to his word.

yeah, that's what I meant. It's the direct continuation of the note in Sub1 so it's obvious it was planned since the beginning :P
