Protip: White = 0, Black = 1.
Start in the top left corner.
Go clockwise and go further in.
Hint: It's in 011000100110100101101110011000010111001001111001.
I figured it out and I'm looking forward to it ^^

You're right! Group it in eight, decode it and it's spelled out for you!
Spiraling it inwards gave me this:
01001101
01100001
01110010
01100011
01101000
00100000
00110011
What he said was true 'You know it once you solved it.'.
I used this to decode it quickly: http://home.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/

'You'll know once you solve it'.
I don't think you'll know for sure by counting pixels...
It's spelled out through binary, which just can't be coincidence.

Damn it, I tried spiralling inwards, but I grouped them into 7, because I got a Y as the first letter and it distracted me.

Good luck with that, you still appear to have a lot to fix up.

I have faith in Maurice, he can do it. :p
I don't care if the release date gets pushed to fix stuff or bugs though.

Though I agree with you, and I think there's alot of work needed to make all the entities work correctly together, most of the bugs I notice in game have either already been fixed (so I'd say easy to fix again) or should fix one another. #faithinmaurice

March 3rd. The puzzle actually didn't specify a year though.

If I can assume that Sašo didn't make a typo in his work, then yes:
