FeeCo Depot Ambience - Relax To Oddworld Music

FeeCo Depot Ambience - Relax To Oddworld Music is a video by pupbenny in which I've attempted to create a nice sense of the Oddworld ambient environment generated by the Fee Co Depot from Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus and Oddworld Soulstorm by creating an animated wallpaper background environment showcasing the beautiful relaxing scenery of an Oddworld train station while the wonderful FeeCo Depot theme soundtrack from Oddworld Abes Exoddus composed by game composer Ellen Meijers plays in the background. My initial goal was to try to create a first person experience of someone waiting at a train station, except on Oddworld, but it didn't quite come out that way, at last as immersive as I'd hoped, I think as I didn't want to block the extensive FeeCo Depot background that I wanted to showcase. I wasn't sure if the sound effects, like of the FeeCo Depot trains with the Glukkon faces, would be a distraction so after 5 minutes or so they cut out entirely and it's purely just the game music for basically the rest of the video. People asked me to do a video like this of Fee Co Depot and I really wanted to do a good job of it, so here it is finally! I hope you find it relaxing, enjoyable or somewhat useful and are able to immerse yourself in the peaceful environment of FeeCo Depot. Which actually reminds me, that's another thing I wanted to convey with this video; I always got the feeling from playing Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus of FeeCo Depot being this really nice peaceful, urban but quiet location. Which doesn't make much sense I guess and Oddworld: Soulstorm perhaps portrays it much more realistically as this noisy, busy transportation hub full of wizzing trains constantly. It's very much like a cargo hub and purely that. While I think it's a fine rendition and probably much more accurate to how it would actually be, I personally always preferred the version seen in Abe Exoddus as it reminds me of being in real life urban train stations for people. I find them really nice, quiet, interesting places where the peaceful atmosphere is interrupted infrequently by the trains coming in to stop or occasionally going right by at full speed. There's something nice about them. I kind of wanted to capture that feeling in this video. That being said, I suspect the reason why the Abe's Exoddus FeeCo Depot gave me those vibes is likely simply because of the limitations in technology at the time. Built from matte paintings with a few sprites on screen, it's no wonder it has such a still, peaceful, quiet yet echoey feeling to it. It feels like this massive place, yet almost abandoned as if no one's there. I don't think this is a bad thing at all, nor even an unrealistic thing. As I said, real train stations have the same feeling too, at least the ones I've been to. I feel alone in FeeCo Depot and it's wonderful. I think it works magically well what with Abe not meant to be there. Like he's snuck into this giant location that's so big he can just move around freely because no one expects him to be there. It's really nice. I feel like Oddworld Inhabitants also leaned into the technological limitations of the time that caused it to be so quiet, as they clearly made it feel like an urban transport hub in Abe's Exoddus, perhaps to accommodate this feeling. I suspect if they'd had the right technology, they likely would've made it a busy cargo hub instead, as it's shown to be in Soulstorm. Either way, I wanted to portray the Exoddus style of FeeCo Depot in this video. Hopefully, the pure pleasant peaceful, relaxing, isolating, loneliness of FeeCo Depot that I personally experience when playing Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus shines through in this video thanks to the animation and the art design of Oddworld Inhabitants and, of course, the absolutely incredible soundtrack of the Oddworld games!


Oddworld was created by Lorne Lanning who founded Oddworld Inhabitants which has produced many games, Including Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Oddworld: Soulstorm. I find the Oddworld lore fascination and hope to bring the Oddworld universe to life by telling the story of it and it's characters, creatures and locations so that they can be explained and theorised about by delving into Oddworld theory and the lore of the universe of the Oddworld games!
