Hey!
I'm throwing in another puzzle. Sorry for multi-posting, I would have made a single multi-step puzzle if I had the idea yesterday, but it happened today, so bear with me, please. There won't be another, I promise!
It's a little bit harder than the other one. Mostly because mistakes are easy to make. It's 21x21 btw

If you can't solve that one, this one is impossible. Something you used there is needed here at some point, that's the only reason. So I advise you to try to solve that one first.

No hints.

The GA is lvl3+ and is for Split Fiction (not available in RU and BY). Make me happy and join only if you really intend to play it, okay?
Good luck! ;)

Edit: I rephrased a statement above, making more clear that the solution of the 1st puzzle is still relevant to this one, but not where you might think at first

I have 5 characters, but I have a feeling I'm over manufacturing a process here.

Edit: Yeah, that didn't work, I'll think on it

Stuck at the second part as well. Reminded me of something else so I tried to create that from it, but to no avail.

Oh, ok I got it,but it will take some time to actually decode. If I may ask, is the notation using an underscore or overline?

Oh, I forgot to bump after solving. Challenging puzzle, but certainly solvable, and I must say that there's no ambiguity. Once it clicks, you'll know that you're on the right track

As always thanks for some high quality entertainment. Your puzzles tend to be quite unique

Hm, weird. I'm at the second part and I feel like it clicked and I'm doing the right thing, but the result doesn't lead to anything. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

Doublecheck your "result" With a minor mistake I was also failing at the final step

I feel like I didn't find the best tools to use. For me it's very tedious to do anything and difficult to make corrections. I have an idea what the right tool should allow me to do but I didn't find any that really does, so I'm having to constantly switch back and forth and do everything manually.

I had to use 2 tools. One simple online tool, yet allowing to easily ensure the proper format, and when that failed due to a mistake, a second tool to just verify my initial attempt with the much greater flexibility it offered. I see DogOnSG already added a hint to help verify whether you're on the right track. Judging by your response I assume you are, so good luck in finding the mistake in your solution

Got to assume I'm having a similar problem with formatting.. Double and triple checked my work to no avail, will have to come back to this one with a clear mind later!

Sorry, I didn't get notifications for these messages.
I know the picture is not perfect with the proportions/alignments and some unwanted frustration may arise.
To my sole "beta-solver" I advised to use a spreadsheet and make the cells as square as possible. They didn't have any issue after that.

Nah, you're good. The proportions/alignments are not the problem. I might also be unsure about the "rules". I will give it another try.

I found a couple bugs in the solution. So take this incredibly vague advice.

Some things wont work, try another thing.

Yeah, I don't know. I feel like there's contradictory information, especially when being compared to the standard. Or maybe I just don't understand the purpose of the symbols and their orientation. Would love to discuss this spoiler free but that's probably impossible.

Same spot here, I've reworked my solution from the beginning now about a half dozen times. What I'm getting looks like something that ought to work, but there must be one or two things misplaced that I'm just not getting..

I have solved it in the meantime. I had dismissed the hints in the OP as only being related to the first part and had to factor them in again to get to the correct solution of the second part. Maybe that works for you too.

Oh it's that co-op game! Will take a stab at solving this later. Bump!

Same here, don't see a connection between the previous "rules" and the new 8x8 picture and the "21x21" hint 🙁
