It just looks like a mountain to me. I'm not sure if it is snow or just a very cold-looking pic. It almost looks like the time is just before dawn, particularly as there is a bit of a reddish glow on the left.

In the background of the Stranger christmas card there was snow on what seemed to be mountains. Of course, the snow may have just been added so it gives off a christmas feel. I hope there is snow, I think it would make Oddworld even more beautiful, I could imagine paramonia covered in snow, with all the pine trees it would look just like northern canada.

Something must be wrong with your computer or your Internet Browser. What type of Internet Browser do you use?
-oddguy |
I've been told I keep saying this, but never the less, press CTRL + F5. That's what is called a 'Hard Refresh' or 'Forced Refresh'.
Anyway, great updates. Especially seeing as Oddworld practically gave us the links to Expose (etc), instead of one of us stumbling upon it a month later. Although, I haven't had the time to update Oddworld Universe. Very busy with School indeed. Alcar... |
i've got IE latest version. maybe somethings wrong with my comp but no worries. i'll just get all my updates from here. I tried the hard refresh too as well but no luck.

[QUOTE=paramiteabe]Is it me or does this pic look like there is snow in it?
http://oddworld.com/company/diary_assets/dd01_07.jpg QUOTE] Thats what i said :D Necrum coverd in snow, that would seem odd.It wold seem that snow would fit better in ME, Abe has to sneak over the ice otherwise it will crack, then the ice starts to melt and you see sligs 'n snoozers marching through the rain across the feild. I guess they will have two types of hencmen. Orcs and those tall hat spiecies. Stranger is kinda like Van Helsing, Hunting bad dudes. *signs* Yeeah:) |
i dont know how or when but i can see the updates now!! i'm so happy. really cool pics on there but u guys already know that
|
I'm happy for you. I was feeling bad that you couldn't get the cool-ness to pop up on yer screen.

thanks oddguy but its ok now.
|
:
Yeah, i think i know what they are. You see on the spinterz manufactoring when i was playing as Abe i had to posses the gluk to give to Lulu fund. But Abe has to stand on the foot switch to open door, then i thought why not get munch to stand on the switch,so i did. The door opend and i went in, but as i got in, the chant prosser thing zaped me and i died. Thats what it dose. |
:
The environments are lookng great as always, I just can not wait to turn this game on for the first time! :) Oddish, I thought those orbs were chant-suppressors. Just in case someone managed to somehow get into the Glukkon area. Although I could be wrong? I don't see why getting into the Glukkon's office and chanting would be any worse than standing out on the pressure pad and chanting from there. |
Not the chant suppressors, the floanting thing thats always near the Glukkons office in MO. There kind of like the chant suppresssors, but kill you in one zap, also they cost a lot more.
|
They probably just something glukons get for security.
|
Wowie, wow, wow........wow!! I go on a week's vaccation and when (lots of W's in this sencentce...*cough*) I get back there's all this perty new info!! Beautiful, I really love hearing about the little deilemas that the OWI crew go through when it comes to the creative process. Its very interesting seeing what could have been in the game and why some things are. Keep up the good work OWI!
|
Really OWI just wanted to stop the player from getting too close to the glukkons, thus the extraordinary lengths to make Abe stand on pressure pads away from munch to possess them. They must have added the chantopusses to make extra sure. But logically it makes no sense why the glukkons would buy an expensive piece of electronics (though even the chump in the meep herder village has one) but not include a chant suppressor in the design.
|
All good points i even like the name chantopusses its crazy.
|
It's been said in the Question and Answers topic, they're called Zappers. :p
Not that Chantopusses doesn't have a supreme ring to it. |
You say that. Have they been officially dubbed zappers like?
|
At first i thought the were some kind a camera, and i thought that's how the printed those pics of Glukkons in the news paper:D
They scared me when i first got Zapped by Zappers, i had no idea what was coming to me. It was a good chance to kiss the glukkon in the face:p Instead i used a Slig to get in there, then i wacked him. The glukkon was still alive:| |

On flub fules I killed most sligs, but there was one that was just standing, doing nothing, and i wacked the slig, he did'nt try to move. Strange. Incase you did'nt know, you can kill all the sligs in the main area on the Splinterz manufactoring. Not one living Slig.You need a Bigbro and keep shooting them, untill theres no more. |
:

|
That's how I always took care of it. And if a Big-Bro died you can get a new one. Rinse...Repeat.

lol good point sligslinger...
mag are simply people that often make conclusions way too fast... I just hate that |
On one of the levels I got Abe to go into the office and tried to get as close to the glukkon as he could then the zapper killed him. Then the glukkon just backed away from his body.
|
It is impossible to kill all the sligs cos if you kill them as the Big Bro, they keep on spawning more and shooting at you until you are dead. But if you kill the ones that were originally on the floor, depossess and jump down then any extra ones will be gone.
You know its strange, but in the Abe games it only seemed natural to pull a lever and have a slig pop out of a tube but in Munch it seemed a bit unrealistic. Strange that it would look so much weirder in 3d! |
I always killed until they were all gone. It's not impossible.
|
In Alf's Inhabitants Anonymous, it said:
Up 'til now, we've done a pretty good job of keeping quiet about the next game. (Well, except for that one loose-lipped Inhabitant, but we stitched him up right! We sho' did!) Whats the story with that? |
I wondered that myself. They sure did a good job of stitching him up, 'cus I haven't heard any cats being let out of any bags.
-oddguy |
I have my suspicions, however, the information we uncovered was never released :| Or maybe the information we have received through gaming websites (etc) was actually leaked.
Or, maybe it's just a joke :p Alcar... |
