Today I woke up and saw these artifacts on my forum portrait...

I wonder what is happening with it?

    A bug. . .or perhaps. . .

    Some sort of secret about Beamdog's next game?

    All mods are suspect!

    Uploading the individual artifacts as pictures, one is obviously an eye.



    Eye?

    Is the third to last possibly a spiked shoulder pad. . .? Mercykillers maybe?

    Edit:

    I'm trying to figure out this puzzle. . . WHAT COULD IT BE




    Edit the second: If this *is* a bug and not a hint about the next project I'm going to be wasting so much time. XD

    I'll help you, @Vallymyr.

    The first thing to do is knock out what could be enhanced that have not been enhanced yet. So it's not Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2 or Icewind Dale and we know Beamdog asked for beta testers recently. I think Julius is playing a game.

    Second, is to look at games that could still be enhanced if this is a sort of hint and not a forum bug.

    Icewind Dale 2.
    Planescape Torment.
    Neverwinter Nights
    Neverwinter Nights 2

    Third, a whole new game completely.

    Probably more reasonable to enhance existing engine considering the amount of time and enhancements made to the engine for Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2 and Icewind Dale. So I stuck with IE games while searching.

    I've been image searching of Icewind Dale 2 and Planescape Tormnet images looking for a grey coloured eye in old promotional artwork for both games.

    The closest I have found is an image used by a YouTube thumbnail. Then I watched the video and a much higher resolution of the thumbnail became available.

    Using the parts you enlarged, I found two matches.






    I found a number of screens with tan sand cave interiors that look to match the same grey as well in your enlarged blocks.





    A previous thread mentions beta testers for tablets so it is unlikely going to be anything with a working toolset and 3D. Are there any other D&D isometric games? Temple of Elemental Evil comes to mind but it is a whole different engine.

    The other enlarged images are too vague to pinpoint in any of the images I have found on google. Could be stone, UI border, dark dirt.

    I'm checking other moderators avatars now :)

    I can almost see what's happening, but I just can't put a name to it.

    I thought this was happening the first time I saw this thread. I am glad to see it confirmed.
