It happened in stages. I had the idea at the start of Season 6 production, around July 2014. Episode 2 was the first opportunity I had to insert a clue. That was the Conway Stern profile screen http://i.imgur.com/IztRvVo.jpg . That took you out of the episode for several steps, and it wasn't until episode 7 that I was able to pick it up again. This was simply down to there being no screens in those inbetween episodes, and not a whole bunch of people knowing this was even going on. Only 2-3 people were even in the loop for about 6 months.

Originally, there were about 10 steps in total, but over time more and more were added. By the time people actually found algersoft.net, it because clear there wasn't enough steps remaining to sustain it to the end of the season, so a bunch more were added.

I did the majority of the website coding myself. Tim coded the Cheryl game. Our lead animator Marcus Rosentrater did a lot of the back-end acrobatics on the Krieger@Home page. All MySQL stuff. Way above my head.

Yes. I plan to put together some kind of blog or whatever to explain everything in detail. Some people have done a great job on this so far (notably aglidden) but there's errors or omissions.
