SGP Task Force: Arkive / SGP: Graphic Design - Superintendent Facial Expressions - Total = 8!

« on: October 01, 2009, 04:15:28 »

Previously it had been assumed there were only six facial expression icons for the Superintendent.  While playing through Data Hive and watching the same cut scene from which I pulled the hex patterns (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.msg4#msg4) I noticed that the icon for the Super was quickly and erratically animating.  Conceptually, he was being shut down.  To depict this, two additional icons were revealed:





This brings us to a total of eight, including the previous six we're already familiar with:


What's interesting is that after the shutdown sequence, the Super's icon holds at the "sleeping" one:   instead of the "dead" one:  

Are we to infer that the Super isn't completely down for the count at this point after all?

SGP Task Force: 7 / SGP: Graphic Design - Data Hive Cut Scene Hex Patterns

« on: September 30, 2009, 21:49:22 »

I've put together an image which catalogs the sequence of 16 hex patterns that appear in the lower left-hand corner of the supervisor's display during his shutdown sequence in the Data Hive cut scene. 



The area where these are displayed is a very small section of the screen, hence the poor clarity.  It would take a video capture device more powerful than my meager DVD recorder to grab more detail.  These are good enough to show the hex patterns, though.  Number 9 stays in place the longest... for the majority of the sequence, actually.
