syltefar.com: Fez (Xbox 360)

... Mesmerized by the beautiful music on the title screen...
The intro sequence is brilliant!
Got the Achievement unlocked achievement. - I just got an achievement for getting an achievement. Heavy.
The music vaguely reminds me of Boards of Canada. What with the slow-ass pitch LFO.
Whoa... Rain and thunder!
Whoa... Frame rate.
A room with red curtains. Owls creep me out. Twin Peaks?
I just talked to an owl. It said 'The many are one. The one are many' and flew away. I'm confused.

That's enough exploration for today. I have 19/32 Cubes and 9/32 Anti Cubes, 2/4 Artifacts.

Completed the game. Got the 'Kill Screen' after collecting 32 cubes. The ending is a vector graphical acid trip. Love it.
WHAT THE ...
Started New Game+, and it is crazy. Sunglasses.
Must. Sleep.
OMG! Just bought the soundtrack ... it's full of ... stuff.

Using screenshots from the Hexahedron sequence in the beginning of the game, word length analysis, and a nice guess from Mads Weitling that the word 'Hexahedron' could be one of the words, I figured out most of the letters in the alien alphabet. Using the rest of the text, myself and Andreas from Playdead figured out the rest of the letters and successfully translated the dialogue. Yay!

Argh, Fez Hell is hellish. Stupid annoying rotating blocks.
Hehe... went to pause screen and the lava level reset. Way to glitch out of the problems... :D

Watching 2008 IGF Awards, I'm shocked to see an early prototype of Fez win the Visual Art award. Phil Phish's speech had a cursy haiku. He mentions Jason DeGroot as a composer (he was later replaced by Disasterpeace). Apparently, this award gave him the courage to start developing the game full time.
