MULL THAT OVER

e: Ne page makes my comment look out of place.

[Nate]

I think this is quite enough.

Consider this an official warning, squeak117. When a moderater does some moderating, it's time to get back on topic.

You're doing all the LED messages? I demand easter eggs only OWF veterans will understand.

Fun fact: If you played on Ajiellyn's Oddworld Furcadia dream, you might recognize a couple of them.

[Varrok]

Fun fact: Laaame.

I haven't

[Wil]

Not all 20 are actually in, and I'm not 100% sure any of them can be read in their entirity.

[Varrok]

@Havoc, Me too, that's why I think it's lame. Not every OWF veteran visits Fan Corner often/at all

[OANST]

If Alcar would just go ahead, and sell me the site, there wouldn't be a Fan Corner.

@Havoc, Me too, that's why I think it's lame. Not every OWF veteran visits Fan Corner often/at all

And not every Oddworld fan visits the Oddworld Forums often/at all.

[OANST]

And not every Oddworld fan visits the Oddworld Forums often/at all.

That's right. We do our best to discourage that.

[Varrok]

Never mistake OWF veteran with an Oddworld fan...

SLICO SECURITY: BEATING QUOTAS AT RUPTUREFARMS!....................GET YUR ELUM CHUB ON! ODDWORLD'S FINEST LUNCHBOX GLOOP.....................PACKAGING MEAT IN YOUR PANTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.....................

For those using Chrome (which can't handle Marquees):

Slico Security: Beating quotas at RuptureFarms!

Get yur Elum Chub on! Oddworld's finest lunchbox gloop.
(Originally I read this as: Get yur Elum Chubs on Oddworld's (unreadable) best lunchbox glop.)

Packaging meat in your pants is strictly forbidden.

EDIT: F'xd.

EDIT: And the Elum Chub message.

[marlz]

Haha, those were indeed nice little touches.
The Elum Chubs live on! ...even if their poster artwork is stupidly difficult to find (in the AO demo or just on the net).

[pupbenny]

Purples a bit of a funny colour for the LED messages I think.... it just seems out of place in a place that's meant to be dark like Rupture Farms.

[Nepsotic]

I guess you don't remember Zulag 3, then.

Hehehe, gold star to you. For the record, letter-for-letter (including unseeable capitalization) they are:

• SligCo Security: Beating Quotas at RuptureFarms!
  
• Get yur Elum Chub on! Oddworld’s finest Lunchbox gloop.
  
• Packing meat in your pants is strictly forbidden.

I don't know why 'Lunchbox' is capitalized.

Haha, those were indeed nice little touches.

You want to know the [semi-]answer to one of the longest-lasting fandom questions? The massive carcassing in the opening movie that are too big to be anything we know are meant to imply that RuptureFarms rips apart many more species than just Scrabs, Paramites, Elums and Meeches.

[DarkHoodness]

Hehe, thanks. I have a good eye for detail - The Elum Chub one was a little hard to make out, originally I read this as: Get yur Elum Chubs on Oddworld's (unreadable) best lunchbox glop.

EDIT: New LED screens are always a plus though, they're fun little details. I'm glad you're adding new messages. Will the classic ones also stay?

[Bullet Magnet]

When I was young, Oddworld was so mysterious and eerie. The messages on the LEDs were written by faceless bastards in Rupture Farms somewhere. Now I know the guy who writes them, and while playing I'll be thinking "I know the guy who wrote these. His fingerprints are all over it." Because I've read Wil's writing long enough to spot his work.

[Wil]

This isn't to say I'll be providing each and every LED in the final game, if any at all. I just did them for Eurogamer.

[Bullet Magnet]

So I can't expect any coded messages to me?

[Varrok]

No hidden/coded messages for you.

I suggested a while back, I think in the Abe HD Suggestions thread, that during the stockyard escape we see miles of cages and enclosures disappearing into the distance, including silhouettes/dimly lit outlines of large creatures we haven't seen before! I still think this would be awesome It definitely makes sense there would be more creatures given the size of RF and those carcasses!

Speaking of which, what were the falling carcasses supposed to be in zulag 1, where you need to jump across the platforms underneath them? They looked like the intro movie ones, but seemed smaller (possibly elum size).

[Holy Sock]

Really looking forward to this. Been out of the Oddworld game for a while. Finally going to tackle Stranger's Wrath in glorious HD.

It would be great if a few references to Abe's Exoddus and Munch's Oddysee were sprinkled throughout the game (similarly to how a sign to the Vykker Labs was shown in Exoddus).

Also, is there a link anywhere to information about cut content from the game?

Quit mumbling, I can barely understand a word

[Nepsotic]

IJ , MZVGGT , IJ HZNNVBZN CAESAR

Russian?

[MeechMunchie]

It's the secret message I intercepted from Varrok.

[Nepsotic]

Polish, then?
