Jatsko's theories, etc

[RoentgenDevice]

wow, Mateusz posted your teleporter on his facebook

[Jatsko]

He did? I knew he must have, my tumblr's post of the gray scale photo gallery got flooded with likes last night

Going through the Submachine notes, I keep seeing weird word combinations about the Lighthouse...makes me wonder if the Lighthouse is bigger than we think it is...if it somehow expanded to include other ares of the Subnet inside it...

[Jatsko]

Someday I will have to compile a list to show Mat of all the things I want to get cleared up, so he can see them all at once. Maybe we could all do that, any bugs or problems we've noticed, questions about other things on the internet that have gone unanswered, etc.

[Jatsko]

Issues. Drop them here, and I'll try to add as many as I can. Plenty of room for more categories and etc.

Do you want me to help with anything Wiki-related? Now that I'm free of exams and stuff I have enough free time to take some of the workload (if you wish).

[Jatsko]

Well, I feel that the Submachine 8 and Submachine 9 content has never really gotten much (relative) light on the Wiki. There aren't too many pages explaining the puzzles and objects found. In all my image editing I've found a lot of stuff relating to Subs , 3, 4, 5, etc. but not much related to the most recent releases. I think that additions in these two games could really spruce up the Wiki and give it a bit more color and life.

Some thoughts:

1. Splitting the Temple up so the Shiva part has its own page (maybe calling that section the "Shiva room")
2. Adding Memory Seal puzzle page (for both Sub9 and FLFHD)
3. Making each beamer access in Sub9 its own puzzle page
4. Making a puzzle page for the Interlayer Knobs in Sub8
5. Adding the Cog Trees to the Florae page
6. Giving the Sub9 Secret Section its own page (I thought that "Nataraja Room" might be an appropriate and interesting title)

I also am thinking it might be a good idea to format all the puzzle pages. By that I mean add each puzzle in a ==Puzzles== section to its respective game page (ex. music puzzle would go on the Future Loop Foundation page, metal box puzzle and others on Sub5, acidioxide puzzle on Sub4, etc.). But the other part of me sees that trying to figure out which puzzles to include and determine which gameplay elements are classified as true "puzzles" might be really complicated. Also, Sub8 and Sub9 seem to be geared much more straight forward in gameplay as opposed to Sub4 and Sub5, which might make dividing puzzles harder.

Those are my August goals. As far as image naming, I'm thinking of adding (formally nonexistent atm) guidelines to help keep everything uniform (which, if you view my editing log, you can probably see a similar vein). But I also don't want to drop a bunch of rules and scare off anyone who might stop by and contribute. I still have to collaborate with MW about that, since he has ideas as well.

Also, since every single thing in the Submachine series tends to be some sort of mechanical device, I want to rid the Wiki of any formal mechanical device pages listing multiple devices in detail. If we feel that a mechanical device might be important enough for its own page (ex. the Multilayer Gem Holder in Sub9) then it gets its own page. We could keep a page with a master list of only items that have their own pages, organized by game. And of course any device pages that already exist (ex. beamers, energy receivers) would be kept.

And of course, there's fixing redirects, grammar, etc. If I were to pick one, the Sub8 and Sub9 additions might be easiest to start with.
