Easter Egg within the character creator [3/6 found]

or we need better hints

 

Maybe coincidence, but

Code:

$test =  "#@35.6$)sdf(*H3Y(#...#$.432@#.a@.VZQ0..sa002.Q@)(21*#@)*2#(33.24.56.@)#094...0a...WN0TU@)!02.934.22.a2039...";
$testb = "bananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabanana";

same string length

 

You accidentally added a b after test, they aren't actually the same length

 

Code:

#@35.6$)sdf(*H3Y(#...#$.432@#.a@.VZQ0..sa002.Q@)(21*#@)*2#(33.24.56.@)#094...0a...WN0TU@)!02.934.22.a2039...
bananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabanana

better now?

 

If I may be such a bother, who made your animated signature? I know we have a red teleportation from the character creator, but did someone make this one for you?

 

They are, in the first line a space was added for compensation.

And that's not an accidental B. That's Test B. It's because they're two different variables, and require two different labels.

 

I made it. ^ - ^ It's alright. Although this is probably not the best place to talk about it any further. Hehe

 

I guess they need a month before releasing the clue for the next easter egg (or maybe less - it depends on when they want to release the game), I wouldn't hold my breath for better hints until a couple of weeks pass by.
Always if they want us to find these easter eggs.

EDIT: Well beats me, they lasted only one day before giving a better hint

 

I'll do it

 

Ah... We need to summarize it all again.

The eggs are for the char creator. There are six (Tiy)

Code: #@35.6$)sdf(*H3Y(#...#$.432@#.a@.VZQO..saOO2.q@)(21*#@)*2#(33.24.56.@)#O94...Oa...WNOTU@)!O2.934.22.a2O39... The code is likely a clue.
There are no relevant zeros in the hint. They're all the letter O. (Tramsan) By this I'd say there IS difference what the code is, not just the fact that it's a code.
You don't need to know programming or something to get the code (Molly)
The file name is 102939201.png , but "Molly said yesterday in the IRC that it was just a coincidence that its name is a palindrome." I'd add, coincidence, but NOT the fact the name is random. Maybe the name IS a clue.
Guessing probably won't get you very far. The comments in the code aren't the easter eggs (Tiy), so the words like Ape Banana Code Avian etc. should not be just taken and combined - it's useless.
The comic, having been written/drawn by neither molly nor tramsan, has nothing to do with the easter egg. (indirectly confirmed by Molly, mb wrong?)

Playing with ASCII didn't get anybody anywhere. As my pal said, it looked like a baconian cipher, but I can't check, and first look didn't get me anywhere. So I'm going to sleep.

 

Well I can say this. Can't find jack in the code. (At least nothing obvious. I might be blind...)

I must say this however, whoever did the coding for the character creator has a great sense of humor.

 

Update from mollygos!

 

Just for the case you want to try it out. I did an ASCI shift, then reversed, then XOR ..... no luck jet

Straight from IRC:

mollygos the only letters you need to pay attention to in that code are: HEY VZQO WNOTU

Edit: oops, im a bit late. Damn ninjas

 

If it is so, i'd say that the 102939201 is 9-symbol and the new text is, too. Mb another coincidence, of course...

 

Maybe we should try re-arranging these letters or something.

 

VZQO = WARP? (shifted by one letter)

 

Tried some anagram sites, no luck

 

"Starbound" = also 9 chars

 

From the irc I would guess along the lines of Hey (vzqo) why not you. Not is a matter of figuring out what vzqo is reduced from.
