A retrospective thought

Sunless Skies
1

Looking back at the Sunless Skies kickstarter trailer, I can’t help but notice there are two things that after several Ambition completions I haven’t seen in the final game:

  1. The sight of what seems to be a planet engulfed by an explosion, and

  2. The round…THING with tentacles and lots of eyes behind a stone surface big enough to dwarf a train.

Any ideas what those are? Cut events? Something alluded to in the digital lorebook* I was unlucky enough to miss out on?

*On that subject I understand those had a really limited distribution but if there is anything, ANYTHING in them at all about what the White’s up to I’d really appreciate anything that stuck out to you guys

The second one is clearly faith’s fall, but an earlier, cartoonier, animated version. The first one I think is one of the generic planets or moons or whatever you can see in the background as part of the texture, with a generic explosion effect to provide a visualization for the line &quotmurder a sun,&quot which is done through text in the actual game.

EDIT: Also no, just checked, there’s nothing about the White in the lorebook, or indeed anything you couldn’t learn in-game.
