    It exists...we found someone who is able to dig even deeper into the code and we're just now finding the pieces.
    He's in the RAW code and it's still a struggle to figure out how exactly it's hidden.
    But it's there. Definitely.
    We'll let you know what we find!

    It's called the zoo level becuase the developers are watching us try to figure this mystery, like how people watch animals at the zoo.

    There's always the possibility that the zoo level isn't a part of the base game, Payday 2 had a secret ending and upon completion it triggers a 2gb update for the game itself adding extra content as a reward. A similar system might be in play here. You can't find the zoo level files as they might not be there until you figure it out, In which they automatically download and install themselves.

    MattPatt, try searching for bars. Specifically iron bars. You're not supposed to be looking for a zoo. The "zoo" is where you place some familiar animals(The Gang) after they got arrested. It's a prison or jail.
    Play the xylobone with Save the animals.mp3. Ignore the animal sounds and play the specific notes of the song.
    I think the frog in the car chase is the one we should be trying to save. After all, it's in the song. The frog is the clue.

    I think the zoo level might be a paradox. If google is to be believed, there are 2 major definitions for "zoo", the first we all know and love:
    "an establishment which maintains a collection of wild animals, typically in a park or gardens, for study, conservation, or display to the public.".
    The second? Well, it's:
    "a situation characterized by confusion and disorder."
    That's the paradox, in finding the zoo level, and in particular failing to find a zoo level creates the zoo, you are the zoo level. The zoo level only exists when it doesn't, and discovering the zoo level causes it to cease to be.

    Actually, just because there are no assets/code for that level in the game files does not mean the level does not exists. In theory they could dynamically download all resources from a server, compile and use them only when a certain event is triggered. And even finding the code responsible for downloading and compiling the resources could be really hard to find since it would take only one line of code but could also be created very verbose, hidden in hundreds of different classes and the different instructions do not make sense by themselves (or do something completely different), but with the correct control code hidden somewhere else it suddenly makes sense. Until someone has inspected every single line of code, nobody can really say that the level is not there.

    • @derfzgrld
      @derfzgrld 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      There are lots of ways to do that. It is not even necessary to use any assets in the first place. They can be hardcoded in the game (unlikely because this takes a lot of effort and usually looks horrible but it is possible).

    It is possible that the Zoo Level doesn`t exist, BUT its also possible that an update will come when the mystery is solved. EG. of what i mean is The binding of issac : afterbirth, there the players had to solve a huge mystery even including a reall world tresure hunt without knowing the prize after that we got an update with a new character (still had to figure out how to unlock him in game tho). it mighut be like this here too.

    Interesting how in the midst of this Zoo Level crisis, Crows Crows Crows is creating Stanley Parable 2, (which is at the very least additional game content paired with the original game). Here's where things could get interesting: PERHAPS the Zoo Level isn't even in the Accounting+ game, but in another game entirely, the game that started it all: The Stanley Parable. What if the zoo level has been in Stanley Parable the entire time? And maybe this new update coming sometime this year is in fact the way to see it? Or at the very least, the update includes the Zoo Level itself, hiding in a place no one would think to look.

A deeper “level” of VR than the deepest one in the game because it made our world the next level. You’ve been playing the secret level all along and it started since you heard about it. That’s what I get from all of this. The joke was the “level”

    I mean, the binding of isaac did it in the past, the zoo level isn't there *yet*. When the developers realize someone found the zoo level the level will become available. Maybe the level isn't in accounting! maybe the level appears in a different game! Frog fractions has done it in the past where the second game was hidden in an entirely different game. What Im saying is, the zoo level might exist, you just haven't found the right key to unlocking it, "unlocking it" meaning, discovering where it is or making the devs drop the level into the game.

      That's the only logical thing that would in theory make sense. There's no evidence for it being in the game after the games code was ripped open. There is probably something somewere and I'm gonna assume it's gonna be a big slap to the face when we do find it.

    So I have a theory right? Maybe the creators of Accounting + knew someone would do this,so they created the “Zoo level” but what if the Zoo level is actually the game it’s self,and we,as the player are the “caged animal” of course the cage would be the VR set and how we Are seemingly Trapped inside the game,Looking for an answer. Next I want to bring light to what is a Zoo,well a Zoo is a place where an audience gathers to watch creatures and learn something about them all the while gaining enjoyment out of it. As a creator of a game like this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he found mild entertainment out of this, I mean who wouldn’t enjoy watching people try and solve your mystery,next the learning aspect, it could simply be a way for the creators to learn just how far some people will go to find the truth, for instance like you Game Theory, Matt you tore apart the game files to look for anything,anything to find a clue. That’s something the creators would learn,just how persistent people are. Finally, I feel like this is rather obvious,but the “creatures” would be us,the gamers,the theorizers,all of us taking different pokes at this hidden “level” that no one has even found after the game being out for a while! I mean,I just thought of it,but I feel like it would make a lot of sense,all we needed to do is take a step back, and see things from a new perspective,and the answer becomes so much more clear.

    "Zoo" is sometimes used to describe something that's crazy or a mess, right? So maybe the zoo level is the chaos of searching for it. Rather than being a literal level it's a self imposed level.
    I don't know how common this is, but when I was a kid I made up levels within levels of Super Mario World. Things like making a shell bounce between two pipes and seeing how many times I can jump over said shell before it hits me or time runs out (I called this "deadly jump rope") became a new level for me to play when I needed a break from whatever real level I was stuck on.
    So the zoo level would be special because it gets players to set goals and complete tasks that they wouldn't normally do.

    This reminds me of the infamous Keeper ARG from the binding of Isaac community. After the creator of the game (Edmund Mc. Millan) hid an incredibly hard to find character in the game (The Lost) and dataminers skipped the puzzle completely and gave away the solution, Edmund decided to ad a new secret character for the game's first dlc (Afterbirth). However, when the dlc was released, The Keeper was LITERALLY NOWHERE; that's because Edmund had the data for the character, but WAITED to put it in the game until the fans solved the ARG. Numerous dead ends somehow related to the number 109, phone calls from the main character's dad and literally digging up a figurine of one of the game's bosses later, and BOOM! ARG complete, and what did all the dedicated people in the community unlock? What most people consider to be the most infuriating character in the game. Now THAT is a next level troll, and I love it!

      As someone who is currently learning 3D animation I want to disagree and say that you would still need some new models for the level, like cages and stuff, as new models need to be first CREATED as new models in order to be put into the game, yet I'm totally on the same idea as you in regard of reused assets. What I mean is that nothing is stopping the creators from just taking old models from official levels and randomly throw them into a new level area and reusing existing textures and animation keys for them. Heck, they might even reuse voice lines and audio files too, like game designers did in the good old days. MatPat did mention after all that there are two strange level files that doesn't seem to match any of the already existing 14 (15?) levels, so one of them could be the Zoo level, made up entirely of already existing materials.
      It would be strange tho for the creators to do something this lazy and stupid, but in a game that literally lacks any logic that would not be so much out of place. Especially if the so called Zoo level isn't a literal zoo, but rather some kind of randomly generated game area with randomly generated models and audio tracks all made up from stuff that are officially already in the game.

    even though assets aren't present doesn't really mean it can't be a thing. nowadays it's actually possible to store level data on a database. for example notch made a game called Caller's Bane. this game was created with only online assets making the installation of the game virtually nothing. everything was downloaded from the server before being used. though I highly doubt this is what has been done in the accounting+ it is plausible.

    You do realize that there can still be a zoo level right? They can for example have an external site, that when reached triggers an steam update witch causes the zoo level to be added. They can keep the level from being datamined before being discovered that way.

      What if the Zoo level isn't a zoo. Granted that the gang is the animals. And the zoo is a prison.
      Saving the gang means to save the animals. In the Save the Animals.mp3, the frog is heard. The only frog appearance is the water park and the car chase.

    In the most recent charity episode of the H3H3 podcast featuring Alex Hirsch and JUSTIN ROILAND near the end of the stream ALOT of people were donating and specifically asking justin if there is a zoo level and he said that there DEFINATELY is a zoo level and according to justin the people from crows crows crows have worked very hard and hidden it extremely well and all he said was “good luck finding it because absolutely no one has”

      I have to say, Gravity Falls did this sort of thing regularly and it seems like Justin wants to copy that sort of mystery. But he is horrible at it, he simply takes the fun from it and makes it into a lame joke that wastes the time of all involved.
