Thank you, Wil!

Something like that is definitely possible in Exoddus, but I think the Oddysee issue is just a bug in the counter. There are walkthroughs that number the rescuable Muds, and there are definitely only 99.

There are definitely only 99, but I’m positive that it’s possible to rescue some of them multiple times if you revisit the areas they’re hidden in.

Specifically, in the temples, where you can enter one of the trials, visit the secret area and rescue the Mudokons, then exit the trial without lighting the flint lock. When you re-enter that trial, the secret area has reset, so you can rescue the Mudokons again and add extra Mudokons to the counter.

I don’t think that’s as easy to do in Exoddus as the vault doors always lock behind you as soon as you enter them.

Wil 03-20-2016 04:41 PM

Yeah, that makes sense.

Wil, in SoulStorm, will Abe lead 300 muds across the desert? Thank you.

You are the new Alf.

Havoc 03-21-2016 12:02 AM

Speaking of Alf, I've always wondered if Wil ever wrote any of the Dear Alf posts while he worked for OWI. And if not, does he know who writes them?

Varrok 03-21-2016 12:06 AM

Alf wrote them.

...

Nah, I think it's Will for sure

Vlam 03-21-2016 12:07 AM

The masses think it's Lanning.

Was the past-tense intentional?

Havoc 03-21-2016 12:44 AM

Yes, because he doesn't work there anymore.

Vlam 03-21-2016 12:53 AM

Wil doesn't work for OWI anymore?

Varrok 03-21-2016 01:21 AM

Well, he still has the OWI title.

Jordan 03-21-2016 03:10 AM

He enjoys the power.

Crashpunk 03-21-2016 05:10 AM

Would you wanna remove that title?

:(

Varrok 03-21-2016 05:12 AM

We don't trust you anymore, Wil! We demand to know the truth. All we want is the truth!

Wil 03-21-2016 07:50 AM

I don't work for OWI any more.

Vlam 03-21-2016 08:11 AM

Why, if you don't mind my asking?

Holy Sock 03-21-2016 08:14 AM

I honestly hope it was an amicable parting of ways. I don't know you at all, Wil but the idea that one of Oddworld's biggest fans gets hired by OWI then finds out they're a bunch of assholes or gets fired for whatever reasons kills what little childlike optimism I have left inside. Cause that would suck.

Nepsotic 03-21-2016 08:31 AM

I'd assume it's the same reason that JAW and OWI split.

Wil 03-21-2016 09:58 AM

I'm not going to go into the details, but:
  • It was an amicable split. There's no hard feelings either way.
  • It was due to circumstances at my end, nothing to do with the way they were treating me.
  • It's nothing to do with JAW. I'd already left JAW long before to work for OWI directly.

Varrok 03-21-2016 12:22 PM

Speak the truth, Wil! IF THAT'S EVEN YOUR REAL NAME

Or is it... Max?!

...

Oh wait. You just spoke the truth nvm

Crashpunk 03-21-2016 02:19 PM

It sucks to hear. But I'm glad nothing bad happened between you and OWI.

Hope everything works out for the best Wil! :)

STM 03-21-2016 02:21 PM

Hope you escaped those rabid fans holding you captive, Wil!

Jordan 03-21-2016 03:19 PM

Hope things are well Wil, miss you!

V_O_T 03-21-2016 04:45 PM

Was the shrink ever re-designed/ put into NnT?

The commercial gave me fucking nightmares and I loved it.

Also, i hope you got to steal some paperclips or something neato for yourself before leaving OWI heh.

Bonus question: - (this is for everyone, lil bit off topic but small responses are welcome) -

What's the most paranormal/unexplainable thing you've ever seen in your life?

Nepsotic 03-21-2016 05:39 PM

Probably that question in this thread.

This question does not belong in this thread. But feel free to start a thread about it in the off topic sub forum.

V_O_T 03-22-2016 03:52 AM

thought as much, I will start one when I get some free time :) carrying on.

No. It would have been cool, but cut into time for everything else.

I worked from home and never visited the OWI studio, so I never got a chance to pilfer from the stationery cupboard, but I still have a bunch of equipment and display materials from working conventions, that's still technically the property of Oddworld Inhabitants. Incidentally, the JAW office still has some of my personal Oddworld merch hanging on the walls and looking pretty on shelves. We're not burning each other's stuff yet, so we must be on good terms.[/QUOTE]

Why?

Wil 03-22-2016 08:27 AM

Because if anyone was working on that, they wouldn't be working on much else at the same time.
