Very nice work... we almost don't need the decrypted version anymore :p

(I'm kidding Alex and Pete, I'm kidding.)

Too cool, nice job =)

This will have to sate us until we get the owi version
=P

In the image of abe's face I can see necrum reflected in his eyes. Nothing to do with the arg but cool nonetheless.

It's like i'm seeing new kind of logo about Glukkon drinking brew in background?! Nice work with colourED picture. :p

Cheers fellas!

I'm now wondering what the ominous shadow is far right? Looks to be mechanical on some kind of tripod, dare I say like a sentry gun? Wait and see I guess!

Tripod... Glukkon head...

Are we talking about this?

Ok, if we use a cell phone keyboard and take the numbers 8548 we get "Itri" I try?
If we use a cipher hedh, here?

Holy shit I can see it in the image now! What's that? I don't think I saw it before...
Ah Micheal, great job with the color. Really makes the idea of the img.

Itri? Lol that's the name of a small Italian city.

Guys, looks closely behind the second muds head, there are letters written all the way along the rockface till then end, rotate the pic, makes it easier to see, also below the runes on the glukkon head is more numbers, looks like 751

OH! You know what it could be?? It could be one of those Glukkon-headed trains from the Fee-Co Depot! Perhaps these poor muds just got dropped off or are being transported to another area in the Depot, like the mines or Bonewerkz?

You can see one of those here in the background:

That's what I thought the Glukkon head was originally, although the idea wbout it being a minecart/train would make sense too...

Not at my pc atm but has anyone tried overlaying the old pic (with all the bits of paper cut up) with the new one?

Excellent work btw guys, by the time i try do stuff with the new images some one ninja's it here :D Keep the train going chums

I can't get myself to see the Glukkon head in the original picture whatsoever. That's what I'm mostly looking forward to the final image for now, so I can visualise it haha.

This is where I see it - hopefully this helps!

I'll be home in about two hours; if you think you see writing somewhere in the collage or the corrected photos but you aren't able to get the text legible, circle where you see the text in paint or something and once I'm home I'll comb through each image to see if I can identify/isolate and words from them. Good work so far everyone! @Michael: that colorized version you made is sick!!!

Am I the only one who thinks the figure on the far left is a Slig facing toward the Mudokon, rather than another Mudokon? The shape in the bottom left looks to me like a Slig’s hand resting on a counter.

e: I’m probably reading too much into it, but if it is a Slig then I totally called it.

We'll from the angle of the hand it does look like like they are facing the "BB" mud and I did think the owner of the hand is working from a counter
At one time. But you called the slig, we'll have to keep waiting to see what for sure

Looking at the coloured version the image. Are we sure the number is 010101BB?

The more I look at that last character, I have a feeling it could be an A or an R. The top right of that character looks like it is curved differently, although that may be from how the bag is sloped there....

If you look at the piece 9455-UM the last character looks like "B".

It was very clearly 010101BB in the torn-up version, I doubt they would change it for the clean version.

Some possible feedback?
 

After being on Twitter and reading this WHOLE entire thread, I realized that there are some key bits that you guys might be missing? Maybe?

Earlier on this forum (like way earlier), user named "Killer Vikkerlady" (or something of the sort) asked Xavier if it was Ed in the pic, and he replied somewhat hinting "maybe it was Ed who took the pic? ;) " (I'd have to search the forums here to quote what he said.), so we could deduce that Ed is NOT in this pic, but the one taking it. I think he possibly said that he'll send some stuff or something somewhere.

Also, I managed to change the perspective on the updated pic sent by OWI on twitter since the pic was in a weird perspective and cleaned the pic up by a bit and managed to highlight on some key things I've noticed in the pic

Green highlights: Are the Mudokons marching, looks like there's a marching line going somewhere...wonder where...

Red highlights: I noticed each of them are carrying some kind of tool set or items, till we know more, we'll just call them "items" for ambiguity.

Yellow highlights: As I was cleaning this pic up a bit I noticed that there are TWO pairs of eyes in this pic, and I'm not sure if it's just me, but doesn't the bottom eyes look like a Vykker?? It DEFINITELY does not look like a Mudokon, at least to me. Also he seems to be in FRONT of the wired fence, unlike the top set of eyes in which that one is behind the fence

Purple Highlights: These are the "I think?/Not sure" ones. The only one here is that honestly, to me looks like a shadow of a Mudokon. The black silhouette forms the head and there's two circles being the eyes (also the bigger circle has a black dot in the middle of it, giving me the deduction), looking as if he's looking at you from an angle in the shadows or something.

Purple and Red Highlights: Combination of the two above, I think this is another set of items and we can deduce from the image that there is another Mudokon behind the middle one

But eh, that's what I think so far xD

Whoa... Okay, I'm definitely convinced that those are Vykkers at this point. The resemblance is uncanny.

New photo from Oddworld's twitter!

https://twitter.com/OddworldInc/stat...20565458108416

Yep, I see a vykker now. Fuck.

Where? Which part of the photo?

EDIT: I think I see it. It seems to resemble the head-like architecture of Vykers Labs.

Owi's clean pic!!

Had to share their message 100 times, i knew they were waiting for something like that =p

Straightened the clean photo out perspective-wise and adjusted the brightness/contrast a little to make it a little clearer. Attached is a version of the image with circles I have added around a couple things I hadn't noticed before, as well as a super high-contrast version to make certain other features pop out.

Circles & high-contrast attached.

Are you guys talking about the light to the right of the Mudokon's head? Or that blurry weird blob on the left?

Hmm, it turns out they were just bolts in the fence after all, not eyes

Thats the number iv been trying to work out

It looks like, 896 then 18 written really small

In a cipher it spells hifr

Now i think i see queue of lots of meeps in background. Those eyes! :D

Connell was right about the gate bolts that looked liked eyes

Gate bolts are gate bolts confirmed



It also looks like I was previously right about the stitching on the mud's lioncloth thought to be chains. Thanks for the straightened pic :)

by the moon!! Red one is scary as hell

and what exactly is this? (yellow one):fuzconf:

I was talking about the right side. But I checked out the left side after reading your question, and yeah, I definitely see something Vykker-esque on that side.

If there are Vykkers involved in this game, we're in for some REAL frightening stuff...

Ed's signature's at the top right! This may be the photo he took before he had to hide.

EDIT: Seems another Mudokon is in front of our guy here. Possibly a slave line?

EDIT 2: I read somewhere on here that our guy's holding tools. Seems to me, from your cleaned-up picture, he;s holding a bag of some sort. Maybe a bag of tools? Reiterating what I read earlier, this could be a Mudokon assigned power tools, hence the names on the bag/item and chest.

Is this the "where" from the original pics?

Also, what is the creepy figure on the left?

https://mobile.twitter.com/renee_eas...325824/photo/1

Aww, I was really hoping those "eyes" would be ED's - but alas, they are just gate bolts

That might be a Slig up there, ! think, looks like a new visor.
