Possible Easter Egg characters?

[TheKingDedede]

Now, I understand that such an idea would be difficult to implement, due to requiring extra resources and the devs wanting to focus on making sure the game properly works first.

How about a rare chance for a created Dupe to be a character from another Klei game? I think it would be entertaining to see Shank or the Invisible Inc. agents running around inside of an asteroid and having to help the duplicate community for ensured survival.

The only game I could see a character crossing over would be Don't Starve.. too different of an art style just would not fit in with ONI. I do like this idea, though... Perhaps at a certain point, an event gets triggers, and something goes wrong with the printed and, instead of one of the DS characters exiting the DS portal.. they find themselves in an ONI base.. causing the Printer to malfunction and breakdown. Depending on which DS character it was, they could provide you with a random chance of an extra research/utility.. one that wold help you repair the Printer (and allow them to [possibly] return, through it).... Obviously triggered events are a rather late-game addition... but this is a very intriguing Triggered Event idea.

Other games can work if you just use the ONI aesthetic. So it's not out of left field to be honest.

True! They could just as easily redesign the characters ONI-esque, and they'd fit right in. I just figured Don't Starve's characters look the closest to fitting in with ONI's Dupes.

Also, the fact that the characters from DS/ONI both start from a similar looking portal helps with a possible/plausible connection for a story/event.
