gollark: Thoughts?
gollark: Perhaps for exploration purposes there should be a mysterious sourceless glow™ and not just glowy cube.
gollark: It could be visible only from certain directions or something, I suppose. It's consistent with that other door, ish.
gollark: Is it too retcon-y to have a staircase in the floor or door or something after the cube begins glowing? It *does* say something about an expanse of nothing.
gollark: I guess you can easily patch in new content in the later fairly open-ended sections.
