What would be better is if the texture on the bees had very tiny "STM"s written on them. You'd have to zoom in on the texture to see it.

I like your thinking. You're gonna go far, kid.

Clearly a train.

A cargo train, carrying burning coal.

I'm sure we have but I definitely want a subtle reference to the Oddworld Forums somewhere.

That would be kind of neat. I doubt there would be any non insulting messages about me

SEE? CAMEOS!

You aren't important enough to have positive or negative messages yet. Just another passer-by.

Also, it's obviously a train. A train that doesn't move and burns stuff.

Haha thanks Wil, I completely forgot about those posts :p

If I worked for JAW, I would investigate whether there was a way to identify a player by his/her Steam user ID, then change the LED screens to custom, obscene messages.


It's probably a good thing I don't work for JAW.

I feel like that's almost a good idea and something they should consider doing, but at the same time it's probably breaking the fourth wall a bit too much.

Not really, it could just be referring to in-universe employees.

I think it would work if they were only very occasional.

At least OANST isn't in charge of it, they'd all be changed to scrolling ASCII images of Abbey's face.

Actually if OANST was in charge of it I imagine worse things would happen than that. Interesting things. But terrible things nonetheless.

Can we put OANST in charge?

No.... It's a train.

Why else would it have the FeeCo Depot sign right next to it?

^ this guy.

Wha?

He says this metal figure looks like this guy, Pupbenny.

Varrok's post has genuinly confused me.

Why the heck hasn't anyone mentioned hints to stranger's so far?
Maybe stranger's hat or crossbow on the ground or up on a wall somewhere would be nice.
Also, They should add a lil bit o' integration of newer races into it to make it feel more complete, I seriously doubt mama Intern decided to suddenly give birth during the gap between Abe's Exoddus and Munch's Oddysee.

Interns aren't required in RuptureFarms, and Stranger comes from the other side of the continent.

Yes, you should add more of the elements that belong to the completely different side of the planet.

EDIT: Nepsotic's ninja post has genuinly confused me.

I really want them to put in the little messages to OWF members, but preferably in some kind of secret area. Preferably one that's quite difficult to find.

Though, they probably won't. And I can see why.

Maybe they could put a QR code for the forums on a wall in some hidden level?

Gee, I guess only forum members would want to scan that. (can you scan QR codes that appear on screens?)

I have a Nokia from 2009, just saying.

It says 'STM is a faggot.'

<3

Maybe add in the messages seen when hovering over the little Mudokon heads below Rep Power? :P

You mean the phrases that are already in the Oddworld games?

YES, ADD THEM

You mean the little Glukkon heads?

Industrial scum!

Filthy Native!

or honeybee but I don't want to believe anyone uses that

OANST uses Honeybee. It's a hipster thing.

Looks like Wil unleashed the theme hounds.

*released im going to assume that was a simpsons reference

Yeah lately there have been zombie games that use your steam/facebook ID to give you messages like "You just killed (X) with a shotgun!". or "(X) lost a limb while trying to get supplies" etc. I'm sure the JAW team could do something creative. Can't wait to find out what the achievements will be like.
