This security gap has not been an issue before, nor after its discovery, as the original forum post detailing it has been taken down swiftly and didn't recieve much spread.

11/06/2023 @svijj_: Very clever way of hiding stuff in the video under the guise of video glitches and whatnot. This way feels natural and immersive
11/06/2023 @nikosimunac: combine sympathizer
11/06/2023 @sboy2044: What’s being hidden?
11/06/2023 @inqizzo: Traitor of mankind
01/06/2024 @epicCoolgiytryhsrfsea: his screen recorder hates the color so much it blurs it also it's not a glitch
11/06/2023 @skylarjay3513: Still can't get over how much work was put into this project
The creator made an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT VERSION OF MINECRAFT just for this ARG
The dedication is unreal!
11/06/2023 @_apsis: or, perhaps, they planned the different version of minecraft, and designed an arg around it to gather popularity
11/06/2023 @Loublud: @_apsis nah you can tell pretty early on that the new versions were designed after episode 2 ish
11/06/2023 @xanderplayz3446: This was a LOT of effort, but @tlpa
12/06/2023 @liminalityy_: @xanderplayz3446 whar
11/06/2023 @shapeswitch_mood7221: I wonder if, in this timeline, such jokes and structures were what gave birth to the myths around Herobrine and the Aether?
They could have been, lmagine lmao.
11/06/2023 @Max-Films: one of the early videos had the hill that looked like the herobrine one, and with the devs spying it would not be a stretch
11/06/2023 @Shizkeb: I’m this world I can claim your father left for milk and never came back and it would be true
11/06/2023 @subliminary_: That was not the intro I was expecting but I welcome it
11/06/2023 @Bomaetheris: I thought it was a ad lmao
11/06/2023 @subliminary_: (Thanks for the 100 likes, appreciate it)
11/06/2023 @teddydietrich586: Lmao this might be the troll of the century with how much confusion it caused
"they gonna shit themselves" is a slight understatement
11/06/2023 @IloveRumania: So, THIS is how the shadow players got in the game! That explains everything!
11/06/2023 @yoshikay9844: YEP
11/06/2023 @sboy2044: From what I understand, there’s 2 (maybe more) “types” of shadow people. The devs that were meant to recruit players that are given access to the branch versions, and the players using dev2’s account.
11/06/2023 @IloveRumania: @sboy2044 Interesting.
11/06/2023 @AndrewIdot: thank you alphaver for this security flaw, very detailed
11/06/2023 @yoshikay9844: funny shadow demon prank on random people's world in 2011!!1!!1 [THEY CRAPPED THEMSELVES!1!!]
11/06/2023 @Lopp1g: That noscope was cleeeeean
11/06/2023 @AwesomeDr111: holy fuck the hamachi minecraft servers, thats a throwback
11/06/2023 @Fog799: My man was resisting from calling it security breach 💀
11/06/2023 @Coolguymcawesome: I'm praying that we get another playable version soon cause the hunger system in the most recent got me fucked up
01/06/2024 @epicCoolgiytryhsrfsea: You are right by soon, the next video had an jar.
11/06/2023 @honzabalak3462: Here we go again...
ARG aside, could you maybe make the hunger in Lilypad more manageable? It's the only thing holding it back from being an enjoyable MC version.
11/06/2023 @DispensaGU: Don't worry, hunger has seemingly been removed from the upcoming R4 version
11/06/2023 @DispensaGU: @subliminary_ yeah, I've been keeping up on changes like that because it's gonna make speedrunning more bearable
11/06/2023 @robuxyyyyyyyyyy4708: Do you know what that pill thing is?
11/06/2023 @UsernameDoesntCare: @DispensaGU speedrunning? theres no ending though speedrunning what, the tutorial thingies?
11/06/2023 @memesarekeem: Ironically, I'm fairly sure this is a play on Minecraft's actual history; the hunger bar is the most controversial minecraft addition outside of 1.9 combat.
11/06/2023 @FrothingManiac: I was introduced to this series on Saturday, and I spent a massive amount of my weekend poring over all the videos you have uploaded so far. I'm not massively clued up on ARGs, I was obsessed with Petscop when that was still being uploaded and me and my friends cracked the Catastrophe Crow code on the day it was uploaded. But this has been an utterly incredible series, I'm loving it as much as Petscop and honestly this is doing quite a lot of things better. This is such a fascinating genre of art, it's almost like 'post-gaming' or 'post-internet-culture' or something. I'm actually sad that I've caught up now because I'm gonna have to be waiting around for the next video upload.
I am wondering where this will be taken next. This episode dispels a lot of the mystery of the 'investigators'. But I'm sure it'll be interesting and weird. It does feel like the devs have made something that is beyond their control, but I can't actually articulate what it is yet.
11/06/2023 @hilwin: Can't believe that dev2 account has no password on it, not even qwerty
11/06/2023 @windowsxseven: not even qwerty
11/06/2023 @mosqit4324: not even 12345
11/06/2023 @synexiasaturnds727yearsago7: Straight up just "edit the launcher lmao"
11/06/2023 @ariel78_: Not even ABC123
11/06/2023 @hilwin: Not even AAAAA
02/06/2024 @rauI69: not even password123
11/06/2023 @zael0x: we are so back
11/06/2023 @akirapink: new biome! new structure! menu animations! built-in zoom!
how come alphaver is looking really good right now??
11/06/2023 @letthenonsensebegin: also that essence maker block
11/06/2023 @JookDoobs: stair guy is gonna have a field day with this one
11/06/2023 @VIRTUALESENCE: the new update looks quite realistic
11/06/2023 @hiphyro: god i would have so much fun doing that if this was real
11/06/2023 @babarentner8715: in earlier videos there are older versions of the game linked with in you can play for 40 min in the preview game
11/06/2023 @hiphyro: @babarentner8715 I mean observing other people’s worlds lol
11/06/2023 @marioood: the new blocks go extremely hard
11/06/2023 @30caratteri: Wake up babe, Minecraft 1.0.16 posted
11/06/2023 @emisstuffleo: the amount of detail in this video holy shit.
most underrated ARG?
11/06/2023 @liminalityy_: Would be if RGN never covered it
Most ARGs don't even hit 100 subscribers, good or bad
11/06/2023 @adityaramadhan1708: Its still underrated
11/06/2023 @liminalityy_: @adityaramadhan1708 no
11/06/2023 @emisstuffleo: 😱
11/06/2023 @erickmartinez4449: Just today I found out about Retro Gaming Now videos of these and out of curiosity searched for the channel myself. Who would've thought the last video was posted just yesterday.
11/06/2023 @luizrcs: i think the only mistake here is the fps, like, come on, we all know pcs at that time would never run minecraft at fixed 60 fps hahah
11/06/2023 @liminalityy_: Its windows 7
vsync is a thing, so it's very much possible
Computers at this time could perfectly run games like Minecraft at absurd FPS
11/06/2023 @rattfish: @liminalityy_ i think its vista, you can see widgets to the right of the screen
11/06/2023 @liminalityy_: @rattfish how do people not realize that windows 7 is literally just optimized vista, absolutely NOTHING was removed from vista to 7 other than making it actually usable
11/06/2023 @koigoi: you can see it dips sometimes if you watch the fps counter.
11/06/2023 @rattfish: @liminalityy_ are you getting pissed at me noticing widgets on the right side of the screen
11/06/2023 @liminalityy_: @rattfish no, I assume you thought I was being aggressive because of the capitalization of "nothing", I wanted to emphasize the fact that barely nothing was removed between both versions. I didn't mean to make me seem aggressive lol
11/06/2023 @synexiasaturnds727yearsago7: @LeftoverCheese_ they both have widgets, it's obviously windows 7 because of the superbar
11/06/2023 @SpaceMarine500: @rattfish Those widgets were also available on 7
11/06/2023 @vladthemountain: When will they put master Chief from halo into my favorite official undisclosed Minecraft version webseries
11/06/2023 @shindle.: One day they will trust me
11/06/2023 @kryoflux: i should show you people how to emulate the real 2010/11 steam so at least you can get some legit looking stuff for that too
08/06/2024 @asher3311: i love the dash sound effect so much
12/06/2023 @adventureparadiseofficialc6201: i like that the start of the vid is just call of duty gameplay or somthin
11/06/2023 @glowiak3430: When will a new jarfile be published? It's been so long since lilypad!
11/06/2023 @bujitself: R4 is currently being ported over to Rust. Please have patience 🙏
- varalpha team
11/06/2023 @glowiak3430: @bujitself Nooooo! I hate rust! Why!?
11/06/2023 @robuxyyyyyyyyyy4708: @glowiak3430 Yeah, that shit sucks ruins iron it's the worst
11/06/2023 @windowsxseven: @robuxyyyyyyyyyy4708 Rust never sleeps, so we'll be losing bed functionality as well. Overall terrible choice
06/06/2024 @player277-ml3ts: the fps game at the beginning is
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
11/06/2023 @apricotisagirl: 6:58 bro got the source version of minecraft alphaver
11/06/2023 @Minecraft_1.0.16_explorer: I see they have gotten rid of the hunger bar
11/06/2023 @G-Cole-01: 2:44 why'd my man build his house in the piss biome
11/06/2023 @Xizilqou: That menu looks really cool 4:35
11/06/2023 @whact: indeed
11/06/2023 @Morality9: oh boi, it's another anomaly...
11/06/2023 @pphrph: the mw opening hits hard
11/06/2023 @PURENT: OG MW2 has an unbelievably creepy vibe, especially with how the game has subtle ambience which plays occasionally like 0:41
11/06/2023 @PURENT: Also that glitchy ledge behavior in the few seconds after that moment is because your game is running at too high of a framerate. Online is hard locked to 90 fps to prevent physics glitches and to change it to anything higher, you would have to use a hack or a non-official client that lets you change it.
11/06/2023 @FrothingManiac: The ambient sounds in World at War are dope.
11/06/2023 @JuiceyDev: like, imaging spying on multiplayer worlds, would be soo cool
11/06/2023 @yeetusdeletus8565: Remember to set a strong password for your account kids
11/06/2023 @wolfcl0ck: we do a little trolling
11/06/2023 @robuxyyyyyyyyyy4708: I wished they played in a bigger window
11/06/2023 @SplicerHurdle: Minecraft back then didn’t have full screen
11/06/2023 @robuxyyyyyyyyyy4708: @SplicerHurdle But couldn't you change the window size?
