Lol everyone is thanking me, I thought you would have all known!! This thread was made this morning around 8:30am and it is now 5.00pm to me and there are 2 pages to the thread!! LOL

Well, we're all exited about a new website about the Oddworld movies. This is great news! :D

Wil 06-12-2006 08:14 AM

Ah, I am glad. It's been a struggle for a lot of fans to hold onto hope in the face of indefinite silence. This shows OWI is at least working on something, and for the relief that provides the fans, I am thankful.

Jordan 06-12-2006 08:20 AM

I hope the Abe's Oddysee movie will be good if it comes out, it will be very hard to make seeing as Abe's Oddysee is a 2D platformer and 2D platformers can't be made into movies that well, it'll be nice to see what ideas they'll think of!

Xavier 06-12-2006 10:11 PM

That was my first thought also but once I cogitated for a few moments I realised they haven't been using that one since before Munch.

well they definatly used it for the book ;)

I'm...just stunned! I'm so happy that this day actually came!
You know what this means...Alf and his Assistant may be coming around here more often!

Thank you!

the guys who helped to make that article said they assumed, we can assume too, but in fact there's no official word

Yes there is. From Raymond.

Mudoko_Jedi 06-12-2006 10:44 PM

They are making games just there focusing on the movie right now.

Slig outlaw 06-12-2006 10:46 PM

I don't really know because I'm not one of oddworlds creator but I think there just focusing on the movie for right now.

1) Not in a near future I'm afraid
2) He's working "on the first Oddworld feature film" and "continuing to flesh out Oddworld" ideed.

I'm absolutly aware many things point to the fact OWI's first film may be about oddworld, just I try to keep an open mind

Cullen Heath 06-13-2006 01:04 AM

Oh, I know. We're probably all guessing that that's what it's about. I'm just telling you that I HAVE had official word from Mr. Swanland in exchanging emails with him.

Bullet Magnet 06-13-2006 01:26 AM

Who is Alf and his assistant in the forum?

Okay Oddfans, OWI's PR guys will be doing their thing, but when it does finally come out, we all gotta tell anybody and everybody to see this movie. New ideas can scare people, but even as we see hundreds of old fans start crawling out of the woodwork, we can help reel in more. Because, if (and Odd forbid) the film is a box office flop, then it could put OWI right out of business. The only way I can imagine that ever happening is if people see "just another CGI movie", notice that it is not pixar or Dreamworks, and not bother. We cannot let that happen. EVER.

Xav, who are the babies inside purple "O" in the logo?Plus, their heads are grow from each other!

Zerox 06-13-2006 04:40 AM

LOL.
Well, Disney and Pixar (well, m'be not Pixar) are evil. Disney just wants money. Sometimes they make hlaf good movies. But then they also bring out 'Bambi 2' or 'Poohs Heffalump adventure' (which ruined The Whole Point of the original heffalump story, since they're not meant to exist) and completely change and ruin stories that they originally made into a film. B*stards.
But at least OI isn't doing that. Hopefully I won't have to put a 'yet' here. And their games were, y'know, GOOD. Unlike Disney's c*ap games just to make extra money, like the sequel c*ap things, also with a terrible plot etc.
And yet Disney still makes some good movies. Its like a Yin Yang or summat, I have no idea WHAT they're thinking.

hehe my only answered question to Alf I believe

:

Q: What is the story or meaning behind the two little fetuses in the OW logo? -Xavier

Alf: The twin fetuses have long since been absorbed into Oddworld lore. The caliper and test-tube motif for the Oddworld logo was created for a brochure for the 1999 E3 convention. At the time, we were working on two games simultaneously; Munch's Oddysee and Hand of Odd. As time went on and the gears of corporate commerce kept turning, Hand of Odd faded away and Munch's Oddysee became the sole focus of production. In the end, Oddworld gave birth to a kicking and screaming Munch's Oddysee only. This is the history of the twin fetuses.

Lol that is pretty... ODD!! i really hope Hand of Odd comes out, then all of us on the boards will be able to battle or team up on it, that would rock!!!

Matriar 06-13-2006 07:09 AM

I agree with you, Zerox. Disney often sucks. I think only the movies they did some years ago were really good. It's a shame how moneygrubbing they became...

not before a couple of years...

Jordan 06-13-2006 09:50 AM

I know it won't come out until ages, it would be cool to see Abe and friends and enemies ONLINE!

Glukinator 06-13-2006 01:20 PM

Oh yeah! That would be Great!

:fuzconf: Can someone tell me if that made any sense?




@ Xav: I've AlWAYS Loved the story behind the twin Fetuses of Munch's Oddysee and Hand of Odd... I just never knew which represented which. Is the Larger one supposed to be Munch's Oddysee, becuase it's the one that ended up winning the battle to be created?

Yes, with the ten people that will be playing at a time.

1) No it doesn't
2) MO is probably the big one, the one who survived

Cullen Heath 06-13-2006 10:52 PM

Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks.

Aslo, Xav. Do you know what the Creatures ARE???
The Fetuses look most like Mudokons, because of the general shape, and the Paws...But the Paws are webbed, and the creatures have Slig-like Tails. Maybe this is just a state of development, and the Webbing and Tail will go away?


Also, any ideas on what the Cherry/Bomb-like thing is right below the "W" &"O", or I can describe it as "The Little Dot of the "I" on the Oddworld Inhabitants Logo"?

Xavier 06-13-2006 10:57 PM

I always tought they were mudokons... simply by looking at their hands and feets, as for the tails they disapear when the featus grows

as for the I, I guess this can be an explanation ;)

Cullen Heath 06-13-2006 11:12 PM

A sperm? That's what you're suggesting it is? Maybe, but isn't the "Head" a little too large?

Well...I guess it would make sense with the Embryo right there.

Xavier 06-13-2006 11:16 PM

heh, this is only my personal interpretation :p

plus they dropped it in the new version of the logo ;)

Cullen Heath 06-13-2006 11:20 PM

New Logo? Do you mean the one that now appears on that new page of Oddworld.com?
The one with the plain sphere and orange light?

Xavier 06-13-2006 11:24 PM

yep, that's the one I'm talking about ;)

they clearly dropped the zigzag part of the I's dot

Cullen Heath 06-13-2006 11:27 PM

Yes, they did. Xav, do you remember what the Old, Old design was? It's it on TOGG? I'll check, but I can't find it, would you mind supplying it?

Xavier 06-13-2006 11:29 PM

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you mean this one?
http://www.oddworldlibrary.net/togg/...=RAUN0002.jpg1

Cullen Heath 06-13-2006 11:38 PM

No, not that one. I couldn't find it in TOGG either. It's not the Original one, not the Fetus one, and not the New one. But I remember seeing a very cool design for the Logo a while back, I'm just not sure where I saw it.

But I'm starting to drift Off-topic, so that be all. Thanks for tryin' to help!

Human fetuses have webbed feet and tails.

I have attempted to google-image a picture to prove my point but gave up after the fifth photo of someone holding a fetus in their bare hand. Gross.

Cullen Heath 06-14-2006 12:03 AM

No I believe you, I just had not idea about that. That's interesting. Do you think that I'll be studying that next year, as a Freshman in Highschool?

Anyways, here's a picture. A slight sign of Tail, but no Webbed hands, or feet.
MMMM Fetus!:lick:

Think twice, Xav.This fetus was impregnated already, so it's not the female ovule anymore)))So the sperm is not an option...though Muds have different biology, maybe there is a chance that this cherry-bomb-like thing is sperm:/

As for the twins - they're Muds, no doubts)))tails?Have you seen any Mud without "pants"?)

Xavier 06-14-2006 12:31 AM

there's an abe without pants in the book ;)

anyway I know the ovule was allready impreganted months ago, this sperm is just a looser ;)

Cullen Heath 06-14-2006 12:48 AM

Yeah. You mean the Maps on page 42? It's pretty funny!


Yup, the sperm probably missed out.:p

Mudoko_Jedi 06-14-2006 12:56 AM
