I still think it will be a Slig...Here you can find a great fanfic about Squeek being a Slig.

I think it will be a completely new creature, just like Munch was when Munch's Oddysee was first released.

Wings of Fire 05-06-2008 04:02 PM

Astoundingly enough I am inclined to agree with MeechShrykull, if Squeek was a Slig do you not think the cartel would have recognised the handprint on the moon yet.

Also I could swear we had PMs for 1-1 chitchat.

Psychonaut 05-06-2008 04:04 PM

This 1 on 1 chat was a pure coincidence....

MeechShrykull1029 05-06-2008 04:41 PM

That fanfic is cool. I'm planning to find some more cool fanfic based on the unreleased games.

Psychonaut 05-06-2008 04:43 PM

Hmm...What about some fanfic about Nod.....

MeechShrykull1029 05-06-2008 04:45 PM

Nod's Oddysee is a rumor that is completely fake and has nothing to do with Oddworld Inhabitants.

Psychonaut 05-06-2008 04:48 PM

Than why not to create him?? Any ideas on this creature?

MeechShrykull1029 05-06-2008 04:52 PM

I don't like any lies about Oddworld. They are LIES. If Oddworld Inhabitants will make Nod's Oddysee, or announce it, I will like it, but if it never gets announced, it remains a LIE.

Nate 05-06-2008 05:10 PM

If you want a fanfic, fine. Just keep it in Fan Corner where it won't confuse the general OWF populace.

MeechShrykull1029 05-06-2008 05:13 PM

Well, a fanfic about Nod might be cool, but Nod's Oddysee is still a lie.

Bullet Magnet 05-06-2008 06:29 PM

There is a difference between fiction and lies. Intent, mainly. The whole of Oddworld is not real. Is it therefore a lie?

Xavier 05-06-2008 11:18 PM

Nod was not a lie... it was a mistake...

The most recent "lie" around here was something about Pound Dog having the same story line as AO...

and it was not really a lie.

MeechShrykull1029 05-07-2008 02:27 PM

Nod's Oddysee was never planned by Oddworld Inhabitants. What if the person who spread the rumor wanted to trick everyone?

Bullet Magnet 05-07-2008 11:42 PM

He's a veritable Dick Dastardly.

Psychonaut 05-08-2008 03:33 AM

But I don't still get it. If Nod was only a Rumor, than why is it on all (most of all) sites about Oddworld, even on Wikipedia...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddworld

Nod's Oddysee is there as an unreleased Oddworld game...
Whoever created that rumor, he's a real ****.

Nate 05-08-2008 04:25 AM

It's because it was a widely believed rumour for many years that was only recently confirmed as false by Lorne.

Psychonaut 05-08-2008 05:29 AM

Someone ha created this rumor to support the idea that OWI has told to the fans of the quintology. But as I think about it, the next game that was planned after Munch's Oddysee was Hand Of Odd....In the OWI Tour video we can see large crouds of running mudokons.Like in a realtime strategy game (C&C) ....

Wil 05-09-2008 03:13 AM

That was only to test the ability of the A.L.I.V.E. 2 game engine running on Xbox to produce large crouds, something OWI wanted to do more and more throughout the Quintology. I’m convinced it was actually Munch’s Exoddus they were working on at this point; The Hand of Odd had gone under long before.

Matriar 05-09-2008 06:18 AM

Okay, I haven't read anything you guys wrote here 'cause I'm in a hurry right now but I want to say a little something and hope that I don't repeat someone's post.

I've read that Lorne Lanning wanted to make a movie because it's a better way to "control" the characters. That's why it probably won't be that fun for you gamers to watch and not to play what happens in the story. (I can understand that! I love playing video games.)
However, Lorne also said that there are chances that more games about Oddworld are coming after the movie is finished.
Citizen Siege truly seems to be a very promising project of Lanning's, and I'll look forward to seeing it soon.

I have to agree, Lorne kept refering to "our next game", and it was shot during the promotion campain for MO...

My bet is that Hand of Odd was put on hiatus the moment they switched to Xbox.

It says that this game was speculated to be the fourth game of the Quintology.

I see that's logical...playing realtime strategy on consoles is very challenging...Unless it was planned as a strategy with direct control of characters...like in Sacrifice.

Wil 05-10-2008 06:49 AM

It was going to involve direct control of central characters that could then GameSpeak instructions to NPCs. It was inspired by the advanced GameSpeak and status systems that were meant to be included in Munch’s Oddysee. Lorne saw their potential for controlling large groups and entire environments and The Hand of Odd was conceived.

MeechShrykull1029 05-10-2008 06:52 AM

GameSpeak is so cool! It would be cool to play Hand of Odd!

OverFly 05-10-2008 07:01 AM

Hey guys ! I'm new :). I'm an italian oddworld lovers ^_^.

I'm really depressed about the oddworld situations and i think that we will not see other games of OWI. Sincerely i prefer a lot Abe's oddworld and Abe's exoddus than the other two games produced.

Someone know why the site oddworld.com is "coming soon" from 2 years ago???? :|

MeechShrykull1029 05-10-2008 07:05 AM

There will be more Oddworld games. One of the memberes even sent an email to Oddworld Inhabitants and got an answer that there will be more Oddworld games. The Oddworld site says "Coming soon" because there is not enough info on the things Oddworld Inhabitants are working on that they want to release to the public.

OverFly 05-10-2008 07:11 AM

Thanks for the reply^^.

I hope it... but i'm really perplexed... They had speak a lot in these years.. a lot of game titles never comes out :(

MeechShrykull1029 05-10-2008 07:29 AM

Some of these games probably will be released eventually. Only Nod's Oddysee will not be released for sure because Oddworld Inhabitants never planned to make this game. It was a fake rumor.

GlukkonGluk 05-11-2008 07:45 AM

They're probably not telling us because before they gave us loads of games to look forward to then cancelled them. I reckon they don't want to raise our hopes.

And what a great job they did. :fuzemb:

not quite, they dont make games anymore, they have moved into making films/movies

Actualy who-ever-you-are they are still making games.


Wage Wars is a game.

Fuzzle Guy 05-11-2008 12:29 PM

I didn't think they were making the game. I thought they were going to employ a games company to make it for them.

Wil 05-11-2008 12:43 PM

They outsource technical game production to external developers. OWI are the core designers/creators/directors, but animation/programming will be done by other companies.

OverFly 05-14-2008 02:32 AM

Really sad.. =\

Sanssouci 05-14-2008 08:40 AM

What is?
