Not in Kansas?

“Uhh, Jake… That’s easier said than done…”

As an artist, I’m happy you get to draw a simplier page like this right after the more difficult Reality ones.

It definitely seems like this is hacking, which if true means this definitely isn’t Kleya, since Kleya wouldn’t just do this in front of someone else, even if she was pretending not to be herself. On the other hand, it’s a mystery why the AI would be so brazenly breaking the Game’s fourth wall…

I enjoy the way everyone is getting more and more confused as every one of their assumptions about what’s happening and even what’s possible to happen keep getting casually tossed in the trash with no explanation. It’s hilariously surreal.

Don’t think this is hacking as so much as finding that sweet spot where if you jump just right, you bounce outside the game boundaries and can snipe everyone without them being able to strike back.

Of course she isn’t ‘hacking’…… She merely stepped through a gap in the programming and is now just doing a little ‘coding’. Totally different…….

I think that’s Bandit whispering to Danni, because his whisper borders are green.

Danni: “Okay, we’re in a grayscale area, and we are currently okay.”

Bandit: “I was hoping for something more assuring than that.”

Danni: “Look; you can read the code, right? Why don’t you tell me where I am?”

Personally I suspect “D” is driving the game AI.

Yeah, smells like D to me. No AI would be programmed to slip out of the map. Unless this is a legit thing… maybe the tunnels have diverticulitis?

It’s not uncommon for AI that’s “playing” a game to do unexpected things and take advantage of stuff that humans would likely never find.
Such as pathfinding through a 1 pixel gap.

It could be D, but it doesn’t seem to be acting like D usually did in the limited amount we got to see.
I had thought maybe Kleya/Kat had actually jumped back in, but it’s not acting like her either. I doubt she’d go someplace like where she is now as it might be considered cheating, or at least unfair, and she’s really trying hard to be her idea of a good guy.

I can’t wait to see more, which is why I’m not a doctor, I have no patients (patience) ;P

> Such as pathfinding through a 1 pixel gap.

I have seen some amazing AI-discovered speed run tricks. So … yea.

“Not in Kansas?” XD

What the heck are those things?
Is that an Esone stash?
If so, that probably means that area is a dev room.
Plenty of games have them, but they usually get patched out, especially on MMOs.
Of course, if development got interrupted by a disaster, or the death of the programmer that built that part, especially if the source documentation also disappeared or never existed in the first place…

*cough* Fall out 76 *cough*

I do like the new art style, it’s nice

Oh, that? Yeah, that is just perfectly normal TenKa model 46 standard A.I. offline player support behaviour. They do that all of the time, nothing to worry about…

“Well I’m surrounded by fluffy little clouds so that’s probably… uhhh… is that promising or bad?”

I dunno, it MIGHT be Kansas…. isn’t Kansas in black and white?

Only if you run out of color film while filming the main story and have to use B&W for the framing story.

“*I* don’t where we went. It’s solid gray and there’s floaty stone looking things in a circle around us that the computer thing is doing something with.”

“….we’re okay so far, though, I guess….”

Poor Dude, maybe give him a hug, Danni! An emotional one, not necessarily a physical one.
