Happy

Okay so I just got myself caught up with this ARG (or at least, I hope I have) and wasn't there something earlier about the "eye of the fire" or something similar? Well I decided for some reason to investigate the fire reflecting in Abe's eyes closer and found this by just increasing the saturation.


So is it safe to say this seems pretty important?

EDIT: Jesus, I had no idea how big those pictures would be. Sorry everyone!

Yes, we know the part about the eyes

To avoid taking so much space with the images use the code:
:
<img src="yourlink" width=100%>

Well, that's what I get for skim-reading.

This ARG has been really cool so far, seeing it unravel like this is great - but it's been updating more frequently now than before, right? Must be leading up to something really big, really soon.

Back in the summer there were updates every other day, then it kind of went cold. There's been periods of great activity then silence for literally months. The pacing has been strange, but I guess it keeps us on our toes haha.

So the source code hasn't changed

On a better note it looks like we may finally start having some soulstorm pics headed our way. Can't wait

Also, no secrets in the weird Alf icon. All there is, is a disjointed Alf with his eyes crossed out.

Right, they clearly want us to spread the word; do some marketing for them

Dear Alf 77:

:
Will you return in Oddworld: Soulstorm? (Asked by: James, on Twitter)

You don’t know the things that are going on around here! I wish Abe would leave me outta it and let me run Alf’s Rehab and Tea in peace. I can’t read the future though – it’s not like I have the time to sit around reading tea leaves!

----------
How have you been? Also how come Ed can hear you? He doesn’t seem to hear anyone else. (Asked by: Xavier, on Twitter)

I’ve been busy! Ed? Ed’s scared and I can understand that. Sometimes people can be talkin’ all around you but you can’t hear ‘em. Poor Ed’s confused and afraid. I’m a familiar face – and have you ever seen a mug as trustworthy as mine?

-----------
How do you know Ed? Did Ed work with you? (Asked by: Connell, on Twitter)

I know everyone – Abe thinks he has it tough? It’s not easy being such a celebrity. Everyone comes to me with their problems, and Ed has a lotta problems.

-----------
How’s Ed? (Asked by: Koustoulidis, on Facebook)

Ed’s in danger and he knows it – Ed’s one brave Mudokon, even though it might not look like it right now. Ed’s got an important job ta do and just needs a bit of help to get it done.

-----------
Do you know where Ed might be, Alf? (Asked by: Gunnrisfunnr, on Twitter.)

I’m not sure but I’d love to find out! It sounds like Ed needs some help and I think I know just the guy…

Now, does this actually mean anything for the ARG, or is this just marketing at this point

Hmm. Seems like they're openly breaking the fourth wall with the ARG stuff now. Might not be any more puzzles to solve, and just promotional stuff. Either way I eagerly await new content

Seems to me like they want to draw more people’s attention to the ARG, get more eyes on it. The focus on signing up for the mailing list suggests that some news will be coming by email in the near future.

Maybe they already did. Maybe there's something hidden in the free AO key mail some of us got.

I hope there is a bit more to the ARG, because like the whole original stage of the ARG where we were completing the parts on oddworld.com/soulstorm all lead to unlocking 1029.io, and nothing was really on there. And it's gone pretty much unupdated until they decided to share it with the public anyway. (I know it was fun but from like a marketing perspective, why have us solve a secretive puzzle that wasn't really publicly announced, then wait a few months with no updates and broadcast it to the world? It just all seems a bit strange.)

I mean not that they owe us anything, but it'd have been nice if there was something actually tangible for specifically us to find on there as "hardcore fans". As it stands, 1029.io just ended up giving us a link to their subscription box, and the option to sign up for emails was already on the Soulstorm site anyway. I guess the 1029.io was a bit of a reward giving us some more background into the story of Soulstorm, but I think it's fair to say a few of us set our expectations high. So perhaps the fault is with me / us. Just to reiterate, I'm not saying I or we are entitled to anything, just that it'd have been nice, really want to clarify that haha.

Of course I may be getting ahead of myself and there might still be stuff to uncover yet, but it seems like the ARG never really had an ending. Again, don't get me wrong it was so much fun to crack the codes and everything, it just never really gave us a concrete unique ending. Don't mean to be a downer, I hope people get where I'm coming from.

Stop the teasing Alex. Update the code of the 1029.io page with cryptic stuff already. We want new stuff.
