I can see this being an AU where the mass spread of the game effectively nullified the OLD_DATA since it's in so many pieces, still letting the scrybes be sentient in each copy, with them being able to interact with the player via text, and Game Funa uses it to reboot Inscyption using the fan Scrybes for new characters and card packs

[@slywhemwick8071]

Possibly, plus I have theorized on my own that if a character dies in the lore(Ie Luke or Kaycee) they get trapped in the game so then Kaycee and Luke could be turned into other characters(I.e. not under a scribe but doing their own thing like Rebecca and Mycologist)

This made me realize that the Scrybes were people before they became the Scrybes... what were their lives like before Leshy started using the camera, before PO3 cannibalized other robots for card parts?

[@jeronimomartinezcalsina7690]

Well the game says they get power by creating the cards, so they used the 4 card creating methods to gain leadership positions and control the society of their world

[@maxdunn4756]

Realistically, probably nothing. These scrybes are part of a game, inscryption, and had no life before they were created. They would likely be nothing but code were if not for the old_data doing something which allowed them to have some real level of sentience. And since inscryption was just a cover to hide the old_data they likely didn’t put very much thought into the story of all the different scrybes.

[@lancestryker]

[@CopperCadwyn]

@@maxdunn4756 Since the Scrybes are from a card game with a decent amount of characters it's not difficult to assume there is some worldbuilding and story for the Scrybes even if it wasn't translated into the video game cover up. So, no the actual Old_Data A.I. characters likely have no background, but the card game characters likely do.

I love how Po3 looks and acts in this, like he obviously still cares about the old data, but looks like he genuinely cares about the character.

[@king_of_imagination5336]

A neat idea you have here, having you train up to become your own Scribe instead of fighting to replace one, and I feel like you convey how the scribes would react rather well based on the pictures alone 2:05 Leshy is someone who tells stories, and would rather do that then help train someone. He would most likely not enjoy helping us that much. 2:07 Grimora would be a great trainer. She has a motherly aura towards her and would gladly help us throughout a rut while making it rather fun. 2:10 I feel like P03 would actually enjoy teaching you. While looking past his smug attitude and him thinking he is the best, he would help us out in making really good strategies. 2:12 While I have the biggest feeling that Magnificus would just pull another BS impossible trial on you like his 3 "followers", I feel like he would actually do that if it weren't for the fact that he is forced to help you. He would do the bear minimum in order to help us and resent us all the while.

[@LovingBallOfApricots]

I feel like Leshy wouldn't be a good teacher in how to create cards but would be very good at teaching you how to play the game (He is the only one who explains how to actually use any of the cards)

[@darkomodo-o1870]

2:14 That was the best correlation between a story, a game, and a song that I have ever seen.

[@CosmicOptic]

With all the lore I can muster out of my head that I’ve collected. The Old-Data was a sort of, boost? To beat the Russians to the moon, through encrypted messages. The old data was an infinite database, something that could destroy or manipulate technology from the inside. Hence why it had so much redacted information. Because it wasn’t probably activated, hence the reasoning behind Gamefuna’s need for it. The Old-Data is a mix of evil and good in the right hands. PO3 Used it for power, as Leshy just used it to enjoy his game.

[@wormybobcat3706]

Interesting concept you got there, maybe the old data could effectively give us our own mean of creating cards as we become our own scribe. And with the different flashbacks of moments from the main game, those could either be premonitions or the old data could have been ported to a different disk, maybe that disk has a higher quality, perhaps Luke handed the disk back to the lady and they turned the karnoffel code to their corporate advantage. There’s a lot of possibilities to explore here, light the way of course, you came up with it.

Hey iscription fans if you were a scribe what would your mechanic be? We got energy regenerating each turn, mox which you need one of 3 cards to play stuff, bones which you get when stuff dies, and blood which you need other cards for, what would yours be?

[@pie9035]

I'd say music, wherein you use the pattern in the music of the game to play the card. The type of card you deal will depend on the background music that plays. For example, if you hear calm sounds you either play a wind type or water type, if it sounds like rocky you play a rock type. This is definitely a bad idea for a card mechanic since there's no actual room to play since you'd have to be completely reliant to the music which would leave you up to guess what will play. Also the guys name would be Symon, for symphony.

[@robowyatt398]

@@pie9035 maybe your buffer deck could be notes and you can combine notes to make songs and cards need songs to play so what if the area you used the notes to make the song can be used to play a card that uses that song so like you could use 2 notes and they make a song so you can play 2 cards that need that song in those 2 spaces and the notes I would say would be a 0/2 like an empty vessel there could be different types of notes like mox cards and there could be different combinations, yes it would be really lick based but all cars games are

Sometimes it's quite easy to see something that makes us so happy and forget that there's an actual person behind it who could hear those words. And it's occurred to me, a year and a half after I saw this video for the first time, that I never did tell you those words you deserve to hear. I feel like a lot of people strive to make things that are memorable. Something that sticks in someone's mind so well that it fulfills a little part of them looking for joy. This has been that for me for the past year and a half. I loved this video so, SO much. The art is absolutely gorgeous, and the concept itself is incredible. Over the course of time, I've found myself daydreaming all about it, or perhaps just what's my own interpretation on what I'm seeing since I gggenuinely don't know if there's any extra information on this concept outside of this video+description. Regardless, I love this. This video is like a seed in my brain growing a plant of all the potential possibilities I can imagine. At some point, I even created a whole layer of worldbuilding to inscryption off of the possibilities I daydreamed, and it was so much fun to explore. It started branching off and off into differing variations, things changing from the original concept but still heavily connected to the video. And hey! I just connected the dots. Time Woods. I recognize that name. I love your Magnus Archives art on Tumblr as well. On multiple occasions, I've shown this video off to my friends. I've sent the link in a rush of joy, or I've shown off a screenshot that was making me especially happy. And even then, that was hard!! What part was I supposed to show off to my best friends when it was all so lovely? Even though I... had sent the video link multiple times already?? This was something that made me genuinely so giddy, and to this day, I watch this for that rush of happiness. I regularly listen to The Woods now. It's one of my favourite songs, and I have no doubt that also has to do with my such vibrantly positive connotations with it. If you see this, I hope you're having a good day, and have many good days to come. Your art is wonderful, and this silly little thing you made for fun has given me a lot of fun as well
