: the Loon crys its mournful call into the void. Abot that cry, this is a
: vacuum level, so how would we here said Loon? Or is it simply an oxygen
: free emviroment? But we see snow covered mounts and trees and clouds.
: Trees generaly give off Oxygen, and snow is made of water, which has

: thought that it should be noted.
The loon is actually someting I wondered if anybody would point out. Yes, the level is actually supposed to be in vacuum, but the absolute silence was just so... not the right atmosphere. The loon cry was really needed for atmosphere. Maybe I'll take it out when there's music in there.
As for the snow and trees - the snow-covered mountains and any vegatation on them is below you, down in the atmosphere still; and anything above you in the sky is in the part of the atmosphere on the other side of the world, so any greenery up there is fine.
: Also, I don't know if this was
: intentional or not, you can see whare the jumping off points for the
: preveous incarnations of this level were, because the wall texture is
: different. Intentional or not, my opnion is that the textures should be
: the same for the whole level, but whatever works for you Forrest.
If you look at the whole level closely (like, in the last version), you'll see that the spiral staircase at the end is on the top of a giant metal cylinder, which extends down through the entire mountainside; the holes you jump out of in earlier verisons are holes in that cylinder, so when the holes are closed you just see the metal of it extending out of the rock.
: Anyway, follow the path to the hole in the world, and read one of the

: some type of being, possable the W'rks, are screwing with everything,
: untill they gather into one small area, and are finealy destroyed, or put
: into some kind of sleeping state by the energy they hold. That how I read
: it anyway. And it goes on to say that our ansesters know nothing of whay
: sleept beneith them, sounds like the PID W'rk to me. It ends with the
: chilling line: and they know nothing of regret
Yep, they are the W'rk, and the 'slept beneath them' is the PiD W'rk, but referring to it in that timeframe... thing much, much longer ago...
