2nd attempt. This time the bleached bones of a previous explorer are wasting away in the desert next to one of the broken rings... their sword rusting away by the sand blown winds!

My first attempt - will work on this more to make it better!
Wander finds part of a skeleton in the E5 forest - clearly some other Wanderer that had died here. Who was this person and why did he or she travel to the forbidden lands?

What up Argus!
I froze the cutscene here then moved Wander up to stand on the edge of its club/sword? Not sure what to call its weapon?

I was interviewed for an article that appeared today in the UK retro gamer magazine. Ueda was also interviewed for this article! It's a pdf file - see here:

I have all of these ICO paper cut-out models, but they are really hard to work out. That is, I printed them and cut out the shapes, but when trying to put the pieces together they just don't seem to work... and I do this for a living LOL!

I used Wander's animation codes to make him tired (notice he runs around crouched). Then, I added Wander's 'sleep code'. Normally, Wander sits down in his sleep position, but as I already had his 'tired mode' locked, this happened!

Here I have brought the 'storm' from the final boss 'Malus' at the Southern most part of the ancient lands, to the Northern most part at the Entrance temple! I had never done this before, so I thought it would be a cool video.

I'm not using the controller here, just changing values. The up/down value is like a special NEW Moonjump code, except I don't have to use my controller anymore! I just set the value in my memory editor and Wander will jump up! Pretty cool.

As suspected, without Wander present the bracelet (wristguard) doesn't break when Gaius hits the central stone platform. youtu.be/EbGYN8XQ-GY

You really should document all these great facts and musings in a blog post. If asked JK to do the same, but I guess the task is a little daunting!

Argus in stand by mode. A recreation of an old video from March, 2010. Just a short test for now...

Note: There is no music playing - Argus has no sword in its right hand - and all the sigils are glowing!
