Need a programmer to put all the stuff together?
I'll do it!!! dumbo_ddrw@hotmail.com |
I know how to make 3D games,it's just that they're a lot harder.
If you want to see some of the 2D Slig games I've programmed,check out my Slig Oddsyee 2 link in my signature below. A return to Slig Barracks would make an interesting level. Or to the desert. |
Ok, alot of people now.
Rettick having a Meech as the main character would be cool, but it was only a concept that myself and Monkey Man were discussing yesterday. The new charater will either be one of the creatures scrapped from MO, or a new creature that we invent. Remember this is our game, we can invent new stuff, but don't go overboard. Also we have not started designing the game yet. These regions are to determine who will become a Leader based on their ability to write regions with great detail. And yes like i have said in previous posts, the storyline is the most important part of the game. If the storyline is not established then there will be no game. And it has to be a good storyline that allows you to go into each region for a reason, not just the sake of completing a region. So once the Leaders are announced i will also announce the Drawers, Designers and Script Writers. At the end of today if different people send in a region then there should be enough people to choose from. Thanks  |
heres an idea slig nest
it would be like an extremly important tutorial you enter and at first there are just crawling sligs and a few anti chant orbs the closer you get to the queen the better weapons and more anti chant orbs there are there are two ways to beat it one collapse the tunnel out just before you leave then eventually the sligs will get out and you may have to deal with more later or kill the queen which means that later in the game there will be less if you are a slig charecter you could be supposed to be punished. |
Ohhh, I have an Idea for a good level. I have had this Idea for ages and now I get to talk about it. My Idea is a place called Kennels Co. Its a labratory where animals get tested on, but its mostly used for storage of the animals. Thats why its called Kennels Co. Like if Rupture Farms ran out of space to put thier Scrabs, Paramites etc. you could put them here. Surrounding the premisis of Kennels Co. is a huge fence that is extremly tall. On the inside of the fence are gard towers everywhere, because of all the wild animals escaping all the time. Well thats my idea in a nutshell, hope you like it.

Yes another post, the game has been named and a little information can be found here: www.geocities.com/oddworlduniverse/mundacheevaults.html
Also we need a name for us the makers of the game. Like a name for a company... Please send in ideas on what the name should be, and don't forget the Leaders will be announced 7 hours from now. Thanks [ December 08, 2001: Message edited by: Alcar ] |
Okay, here is an idea for either a main character or important npc and the story-line for the game.
A new island has just been discovered far out in the middle of an ocean. Glukkons have ventured there to find new ways to make a profit. Everything on this island has been cut off from the rest of oddworld by the sea and most of its inhabitants are either completely unique species, or completely unique subspecies. When the glukkons arrive, they find a very large amount of fossil fuels and begin forcing mudokons to dig up the fuel. Almost all of the species on the island begin dying out because of new diseases that have been brought over by the evil glukkons. Disease that does nothing to glukkons and muds is completely devistating to the island inhabitants. There is one species of sentient creatures on this island. They are know as (someone else come up with the name...I'm not good at creating good names) and live underground in big colonies. They are able to block off the disease by putting themselves in sealed glass bubbles. They are able to harness the power of spooce to make short flights in the air while in these bubbles, and can roll around. Outside their bubbles, they can dig quickly underground. Rex (or npc name) is one of these creatures. He has been set out drive the glukkons back because he is the only one that was born with enough resistance to still be well even inside his bubble. He is completely safe in his bubble from the disease, but the others are all slowly dieing despite the bubbles. So far, the glukkons know nothing of his race. Abe has been sent to rescue his buddies that are mining in the dangerous conditions. Munch is back at mudos on his own mission to stop the fishing ect, and will join up with abe and rex later if he can because some of the newly born gabbits have been captured and taken to the island. They have been brought there because it is a long term mission for the glukkons and they need lungs to be handy in emergencies. Sound good? This is just an idea. Any changes can be made if you want. [ December 08, 2001: Message edited by: RoN_Rancor ] |
The island would have all different kinds of environments in various parts of it. Rex (or npc) could get out of his bubble for short times to dig a hole for abe or munch to get through. When he get back to his bubble, Abe can use his healing abilities from his chest tattoo to get rid of the disease that Rex got while outside his bubble.
Edit: (just thought of some new ideas!!) The begining of the game could involve abe doing his usual saving muds, blowing up factories missions when he finds out about the island with a huge shipment of mud slaves and gabbit replacements. Then his mission would be to stow away on some of the big ships that are heading to the island. Munch would be out with his gabbit and fuzzle army, trying to stop the fisheries and bumps into abe again. Abe tells him what's going on and munch joins him on the ship to save his gabbit brothers. Meanwhile, Rex could be out leaving his huge subterainean city and going through various environments to reach the glukkons. Then, eventually, Rex meets Abe and Munch and joins their quest.

We don't need the story yet, only a region. Send in a region for now.
And yes i've started the website for our 'company'. Anyway its name is Oddball Inhabitants and the website is www.oddballinhabitants.cjb.net |
Sorry, this story just came to me and I thought I'd type it up for ya. Can't really think of any enviroments right now. Oh and be sure to read what I added to the message above if you haven't already. (Under where it says edit)
[ December 08, 2001: Message edited by: RoN_Rancor ] |
i got one:
THE SANCTURY Deep within a deep forest that was once the home of the great Marakites amidst the great ruins of an ancient mudokon temple lies the sanctury.It is situated in the center of the temple ruins surrounded by great trees and ancient statues, the sanctury is the last refuge of oddworld's rapidly vanishing wildlife.gaurded my mudokon tomahawkers and led by a powerful mudokon shaman.the sanctury is a place of pools of and deep caverns. the sanctury provideds a plac eof shelter for meeps mudflubs meetles fuzzles elums paramites scrabs rats mudokons an even a few native sligs still living naturally. but the greatest secret of the sanctury lies deep beneath the earth, the hatcherys. they lies sprawling out across a thousand caves the hatcherys hold the key to oddworld. hundreds of different kinds of eggs, mudokon eggs, a few lone gabbits eggs and even a clutch of meech eggs the sanctury serves to gaurd these treasures untill the far off day of when oddworld is finally free. what do ya think i might do another draft but i will post this for now. |
Ok, I'll make a place. It's called the Underworld manufacturing.
K, this place is where the best mudokons, that the glukkons choose, go to manufacture products. It is obviously underground, and some of the slaves are blind. There is alot of fire and heaters, where the mudokons throw junk that needs to be melted. If the mudokons disobey their leader, Sergeant Maggis, they get thrown infront of the fire, which almost instantly turns their backs red. Slaves have to be carefulof rocks falling down from the roof, as they can hit you on the head and kill you. The Underground manufacturers are connected to soulstorm mining company by a long underground passage way, which is gaurded by sligs and interns. There are some problems with the Underground manufacturers; There are little weeds that grow up between rocks and poison the slaves. Worthless mudokons are made to pull these weeds out, which kills them in less than a day. These weeds can't do much to sligs or glukkons though, because they have very strong lungs that are used to strong smells. Another problem, is the breeding of mutant fuzzles. The smoke and radiation cause fuzzles to grow differently from their natural way, and they grow two heads or a third eyeball. And the radiation also causes them to breed at an extraordinary rate, so the fuzzles inhabit the Underground manufacturers factories. Products made there include: Extra Strong Soulstorm Brew, Super Butt Flo and Chill Pills. There are more, but there are too many. The Underground manufacturers has a bad atmosphere, and you wouldn't like to go. [ December 08, 2001: Message edited by: General Drippik ] |
Um Alcar my one wasnt a level it was the strtin story.
|
You are really starting to make this intruige (sp) me. The site will be great when it's up and I was happy when I saw the bit on your site.
I also have had a very good idea for a level but I won't reveal until you reveal the ranks. Here's a small hint: It's gonna be BIG. |
What shall we call the series 'Rex's Oddysee' is in?
The Fan-tales? |
*Laughs*
Hahahaha good name, aren't fantales chocolate candy? Don't know, i was thinking the game would be part of the quintology. Like we could extend it, maybe? [ December 09, 2001: Message edited by: Alcar ] |
I'd love to pitch in, but I don't know what to do. What would you like me to do, Alcar?
[ December 09, 2001: Message edited by: Black Dragon ] |
Just create a region, the region you create will be used to decide who are the new leaders.
By the way, the leaders are becoming way to hard to decide. There are too many people to decide from so what i have done is: For every catergory: Designer, Script Writer and Drawers, there will be Leads. They are the ones that will look after those different catergories. Anyway if you miss out on a leader spot don't be dissapointed, i am only able to decide on a few |

DO YOU NEED ME TO MAKE THE GAME OR NOT???
MY REGION IS: Scrabania Return!!! |

EDIT: what the link goes to adiferent place. [ December 09, 2001: Message edited by: Steve ] |
Are you going to post the leaders Alcar?
|
Right now Im working on creating a good idea for a regon but as I was thinking of this I came up with a pretty good storyline (the others that everyone else came up with where also good), in my earlier post I made a facility called Kennels Co. and like I said its stores all of the creatures that the Industrialists use to make a profit. Anyways, I was thinking that seince the story is based on a Meech. It could start out that he/she is stored in this facility as the last remaining Meech of his/her kind...and thats about all I could think of right now I'll come up with more stuff later if anyone wants to add on to my idea feel free to do so.
|
mmmm. last of the species sound familiar? here's an idea for an area a hospital it would only be for a short part of the game it would be run by vykkers labs but they wouldn't state that in the open after vykkers labs is destroyed they need a new place to do product testing so they make sick people pay to have extemly harmful things tested on them not only that but they get a better idea of effect on creatures (is it addictive ect.)
|
I don't think this should me based on a meech. It would be awfully hard to get around. Anyway, we could make up a new creature! Alcar said we could! Why the heck not? Bring your ideas in! (could I judge the creatures Alcar?(sorry if I'm taking over, but I just think that a meech would suck to control))
|
Well i guess its time, i was delaying it too see if any other people would post. And you all did!
Firstly i want to empathise that if you didn't make it into being a Leader, don't be discouraged, there were alot of people to choose from. And becuase of this each catergory now has 'Leads' example: Lead Designer. The people who are appointed Leaders are the people who will look and moderate the game. They will be the final word on if a region, story, creature etc is placed in the game. So turn to them for help if you need it. Right now i will announce the Leaders: -Gluk Schmuck -Snuzi 9mm -Monkey Man2000 -Alcar These people are too add a note in their signature. Like the one in my signature: Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee (Leader). Also, dumboddrw2 it would be cool if you could. Are you sure you can do a 3D game? More too come |
Are there going to be any more leaders? I want to be a leader!!(Baby's voice)
|
Heh, I'd try describe Khufa (base for Rach and my fics) but it'd take too long, and I don't do "describe" very well anyway (I also haven't a clue what the place looks like, so... *shrugs*)
Maybe I'll have a go at drawing it... |
Thats cool alcar but can aI bee a drawer please *puts his hand up the highest "pick me pick me"*
|
Sorry, at the moment their will be no more leaders. Maybe if we become crowded then the leaders will elect a new leader.
For now all the people that haven't been alectcated a position then post here what you would like to be. The leaders will also discuss possible positions for the 'Leads' |
I would like to be a designer please!
Oh! and could be known as the news caster of Rex? :D [ December 10, 2001: Message edited by: Rich The Intern ] |
Sure i you want to be the Newscaster Slig go ahead, but could you please warn us before you post, somethings might be sensitive.
Very soon myself and the other leaders will discuss who should be the designers etc. Please wait for us |
Ok, I shall wait. Also I shall wait until I have your Notification before posting any NEWS. NEWS will be posted in the
Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee news topic. K? ;) ;) |
I'm gone a few days and you guys start making a game?? Couple Comments:
1)You really plan on making this? 2)Sometimes a little is a lot. 3)... |
I don't think you can make a game of Oddworld unless you get the ODDWORLD INHABITANT's permission first.........creating a game and not asking first will get you into BIG and i mean BIIIG COPYWRITE TROUBLE :eek:
|
:

2. Yes, I know all those sorts of rules, don't go OTT, KISS, et cetera. 3. ...! Edit: It would help if all the leaders & designers & everyone else gave their MSN addresses so we could contact each other easily...this includes everyone who wants to be a member of the team mine is tom_crushedice@hotmail.com [ December 10, 2001: Message edited by: Gluk Schmuck ] |
