Oddworld fan-meet at EGX?

[OWI_Alex]

Nothing official yet. We're open to suggestions.

[Connell]

I'm up for anything from a formal official meeting to a chat in the nearest 'Spoons. Only thing restricting me would be leaving by 9ish. I take it the talk will be in the afternoon?
I might just bite the bullet and book it off and I'm sure we'll wrangle something together.

More details on the EGX presentation - Lorne will 'present an in-depth look' at SS.

During the session titled 'Brewing Oddworld: Soulstorm' Lorne will look at the production design and pre-production processes for the company’s next game. Lanning will discuss why Soulstorm is an evolutionary leap for the Oddworld IP and the methods the company is using to create its most ambitious game yet.

The session will take place at 1pm (BST) on Friday and those not at EGX will be able to catch the session live on Twitch and it'll be available to watch later on our YouTube channel.

Sounds good to me

Well I guess they won't be able to pull that off without revealing what the game looks like.

Right?

"production design and pre-production processes"

[Xavier]

Seriously?

[Silver angel]

And those who can not go to the event will be able to see it all later? Or they should sit quietly and wait for trailers and etc.?
I already madly love this game, I'm ready even to pay twice for it, just to see it quickly!

[Vlam]

[Gunnr]

Well,

SWEEEEET!!
Can't wait to catch it then

[EVP_Glukkon]

I'm looking forward to it, I skipped over the ARG stuff, tired waiting for new content. Heck, I haven't even continued New 'n' Tasty and won't touch it until I see a confirmed release date for Soulstorm, so I can go through em both, BACK TO BACK!

[Phoetux]

Heck, I haven't even continued New 'n' Tasty

Heck dude, I haven't bought it because I don't have any good platfrom to play it

[Gunnr]

Waiting for it to be on Twitch..

Edit: Saw it and it was amazing but now have so many more questions.

[Xavier]

I really enjoyed meeting the other Oddworld fans. I was half expecting a cringey experience but the group got along great in quite a natural way. Even Nep was bearable

It was fun just walking around the EGX, checking out some games together and just talking about stuff.

We also got to meet and chat with Lorne, the Oddworld Inhabitants and the Fat Krakens a couple of times during the day which was very cool. Thank you for taking the time guys, it was really appreciated.

Of course we also attended Lorne's "Brewing Oddworld: Soulstorm" presentation on the front row (we'll most of us ) which was quite surreal to me to witness live! Doesn't hurt either that we got some sweet merch at the end of the presentation too!

All in all a great day with great people.
We really should do this more often!

[STM]

Fuck you by the way guys.

[Xavier]

Where did you disappear after the first talk?

You missed all the fun!

[Phoetux]

STM you son of a...

[Guineapiglet]

My decision to join the fanmeet came a bit late, but I'm so glad I did!
Great to meet so many nice people and talk about Oddworld and everything else
All around fun, and the presentation was just what I wanted. The art they showcased put me on Soulstorm hype overdrive!!
I'd definitely consider joining another fanmeet in the future if there is one.

And here's Xavier going on super warp speed to meet Lorne:

[Xavier]

Thank you so much for that...

On the right of the pic you also have Nep trying to explain to Lorne what "a fan art" actually is.

[Phoetux]

friend: "hey bud come over at egx"
xav: "i cant im busy"
friend: "lorne has discovered the fanart and hes wearing a pin of it"
