How would they play games that have not been developed?


Well wouldn't they be able to play what they got of the game anyway? You're right if they just had ideas.

Wings of Fire 05-04-2008 12:16 PM

The very last part of a developmental process is fitting the parts together, if they had anything it would have been some basic level and character designs.

I would like to play SligStorm and/or Hands of Odd.

Hand of Odd. Online goodness. Online RTS goodness. With Oddworld. With lots and lots of Oddworld. Hand of Odd.

Seconded. An Oddworld RTS would just kick ass in so many ways. I'd probaly play as the Industrialist and kick the Mudokens asses! Kinda like when I play Empire at War and crush the Rebels with armys of walkers and bombers.....

So I would have to say: Hand Of Odd.

It's the story of a dog working in the biggest meat-packing factory in China. But he soon discovers that, due to bird flu and the subsequent slaughter of millions of chickens, the Powers That Be are going to make up the lost revenue in dog meat. That's right! Pound Dog's on the menu!

Is that what Lorne told nate or simply something made up?

Nate 05-05-2008 03:49 AM

Lorne told me nothing about Pound Dog. So far as I know, all information about it was given to you and Max in Nottingham.

My spies in California are worth every penny.

Do those dog drawings by Silvio Aebischer have anything to do with that?

Bullet Magnet 05-05-2008 12:43 PM

Yes. The cartoon ones.

MeechShrykull1029 05-05-2008 04:45 PM

I think that Pound Dog would be cool, just like Abe's Oddysee all over again.

Bullet Magnet 05-05-2008 05:06 PM

They had an elf and wizard one, too. OWI planned to explore the same story taking place in a multitude of different worlds and times. Because they know, the fans will just lap it up if it's all the same as AO, Oddworld's Master Mold.

BM - you have to remember that now you're a mod, you are considered a trustworthy individual. That means no sarcasm and no making up facts.



Unless you really want to. Forte!

Damn. I was about to link to the post you made that in! If only I were just a bit quicker...

Bullet Magnet 05-06-2008 09:12 AM

Tell me you could have resisted.

MeechShrykull1029 05-06-2008 03:52 PM

I would also play one of the canceled games that were never announced, the ones that I don't even know the title of.

Bullet Magnet 05-07-2008 11:46 PM

In other words, you would like to play every Oddworld game that did exist, was going to exist, might have existed, could have existed, never would have existed, and have existed. Quantum tunnelling to other universes.

MeechShrykull1029 05-09-2008 01:55 PM

No. I would like to play one of the Oddworld games that were planned by Oddworld Inhabitants, but never announced.

Bullet Magnet 05-10-2008 09:28 PM

You don't know if their concepts even existed unless they were announced, but that means knowing about them precludes their inclusion for your consideration as defied by your statement. Observation makes them real by certifying their reality, but you only want the games that are unobserved, and therefore most accurately considered unreal. That sounds pretty damn quantum to me.

Nate 05-10-2008 11:42 PM

So what happens if you put an Oddworld game in a box with nothing but MeechShrykull1029 and a radioactive trigger?

Wil 05-11-2008 03:02 AM

Can we just put MeechShrykull1029 in an incredibly radioactive box and seal it?

GlacierDragon 05-11-2008 03:17 AM

I have a spare box you can use.

I was thinking more about the muds whose role it is to be enslaved and spend all day performing manual labour. Who'd want to play that?

They could change the story to fit what the player's would want to do. Say, a revolution has started so the free muds and other nature species are at actual war with the industrial folk. The scrabs and paramites, plus new species to spice things up, would be the neutral things everyone kills. Add in a little Lorne-magic and BOOM! Fun.

Also, choke on a flaming dog penis, Meechshrykull.

Yo mamma 05-11-2008 12:29 PM

Hand of Odd, Hands down!
