More than anything I would like to see something that is consistent in design with original oddworld games to tie in the universe, and stories that reflect the ideas of the games. Consider the conflicts of the natural world v's the industrial world and take your game idea from there.
As far as characters go, I would steer away from using existing characters, as they are fully formed in your audiences mind already and have been for many years. Start with an unknown Mudokken, or even a new species of your own design!
As you probably know, a lot of thought went into making Oddworld than making other games at that time, so even if it is just a fan game, think of these things, and I would be encouraged to play!
