I thought about that and im sure the Glukkons wouldn't want to destroy their homeland, It's not in there nature to destroy but it's their nature to dominate and earn maximum profits from as many resources as they can gather and make moolah off. Iv'e also been thinking, How could a fuzzle pull levers, jump large gaps, run from sligs and all other sorts of things similar to that? Im sure there might be a way but would it be physically possible?

Not saying you should change the main character all together, just saying you might want to think how Fred approaches these things and manages to get around these problems.

((EDIT))

+ If we had extra help on the project it might take time off the development of it. But we don't just want random people going "PICK ME! PICK ME!"... we need people with skills like me. I can do many things but alot of these things arn't easy to do alone... But anyway, Collabing ideas would make the game much better so if you have any, maybe you can post them here and see if it would be interesting to add to the game. :D

BTW Blackvenom could you please upload the .Blend file to the site.:fuzconf:
Then I can start to do voice test to the model.:fuzsmile:

Im still working on getting it smoother, but with no obvious success... :fuzconf:

Oh ok, keep up the good work!

I smoothed it a bit more but it's quite hard to tell but the problem is that it altered some of the model when I did so. heres some pics. eyes got larger somehow :D

I hope this doesn't go to the crapper, *knock on wood* I can't wait to see this in action

The only thing I think is going into the crapper is the Slig model i'm working on. I don't want it to go really but I just can't fix some of the problems iv'e had with it and I can't do much with it either *throws the Slig model away* but the rest so far is going according to plan! :D

I don't really wanna trash it either but I need to learn to do more stuff in Blender before I go making complex stuff like the slig. I will remake it some time later (maybe a few weeks) so then I have more expierience and have a better ability of making it. :fuzemb:

sorry my browser's stuffed up, How do you delete posts?

RANDOM UXB!!! MUAHAHAHA.... god im bored lol.

Does anybody have a decent picture of Glukkon Queen Margaret?
Or Mudokon Queen Sam? If not will have to guess what the Queens look like off this http://www.depthsofoddworld.net/crea...re_species.htm . :fuzcool:

Wish I had a pic of the Slig queen Skillya... But I know theres no pictures... That really sucks... ):fuzsad:
Anyway, should try to keep this on topic. :p

Well I'm sure I can't do anything but think of ideas.

I think I have a way for Fred to pull levers. He'll ha ve to sort of jump on to the top and push his body weight against it forcing it doing. I beleive that to be somewhat possible. As for jumping large gaps... A trampoline may be in order. Maybe you'll have to push it over or something. Well nudge it along rather.:D Running from sligs... Fuzzles have teeth for a reason you know.:D Pulley's are out of the question for sure however so you are right about something BlackVenom.

Well a year or three isn't too big of a price to pay for what this game is looking like. All I need is some kind of reminder about this.:D

I think the slig would shoot the fuzzle before it even makes it within a 5 meter range of the slig. The trampoline isn't a bad idea but also isn't the best of ideas, I also thought about the way he pulls lever before I even posted the previous post about this and im sure thats ok. Maybe he could get mudokons to help Fred do stuff, maybe throw him over large gaps, Assist him with the pulleys, Not sure about what he could do about sligs though, maybe put a grenade in his mouth and spit it out.

These are just my ideas but yours are still great too! :D

This looks really cool, but I'd like to offer some suggestions you may not like to hear.

I've been making games for quite a while now myself, and I can practically guarantee you that if you continue to be as ambitious as you are now, you will not ever finish this game. You will lose interest or have no more time to work on this game inbetween now and three years into the future. And even if you don't, your fellow game makers almost certainly will. I've seen dozens of great projects die this way, including a few of my own. And I've seen almost none of these ambitious projects completed. (Unless the people who worked on them received money for doing so, that is.)
Because I'd really like to play this game, I'd like to suggest: make the game smaller than you're currently planning. You can always expand the game after it's finished if you still feel like doing so.

Another suggestion I have is to, well... not blow up Oddworld. I suggest making a story on a smaller scale. Create something that doesn't (drastically) change the current Oddworld cannon. Fans might even accept it as a semi-cannon part of the Oddwolrd saga if you keep it small, believable and if it doesn't change Oddworld as we know it. What I'm trying to say is: people probably wouldn't even take it from Lorne Lanning himself if he destroyed Oddworld or (for example) killed off the Mudokons. And they certainly won't accept it from you.
Of course, the whole game could be a 'what if' story. But even then, I think not drastically changing Oddworld nor trying to continue the story after Munch's Oddysee is best. Make Fred's tale a side-story.

This is just my humble opinion, of course, but I do believe this could make your game better. Also, if you do these things, and possibly even if you don't, I'd be willing in helping create some sprites. I can only do 2d art though, so if you were moving to 3d-rendered sprites I cannot help out. I can help in designing game mechanics too. I'll post some examples of other things I've done later and let you decide if you'd like my help.

Good luck with your game!

Great work on the 3D stuff! I really really wish I could do 3D.

But I must say I agree with BlackVenom and Stan. about the blowing up Oddworld thing. I just don't think that's something the Glukkons would do. But even if you keep that as part of the story I think you should rethink the bit where they find Earth.

all right I'll re-think the script. =(

Sorry, for double post but, Do you think we should lock the topic, Because I can't edit the first post, I've drastically changed the script.

Just post the new script in your next post. You won't need to close this then and then we can check up on the other stories we had earlier while in the same Topic forum but who knows? We might end up having to change the script again after this next one? :confused:


((EDIT))


I havn't been able to do much lately. Been very busy and I have work in a few hours so im still quite busy. Sorry for not being able to do much over the last few days.

Ok, I really think we should lock this, the name and almost everything but Fred has changed.:fuzmad:

Ok, I will update it here, Now someone can lock this.
http://oddworld-toff.site-forums.com/forum.htm

May I suggest writing a PM to the relevant mod (Splat/Havoc) if you want Lock/Rename/Seperate/Create a new topic instead of double posting and invariably leaving this thread a mess of confusion.

hope it goes really well, as for the cutscenes, its yours to decide what you want.
good luck

Shaman, this topic is really old, you do not post in a topic THIS old, please learn from your mistake

Actually, it is only 1 month old, hardly really old. But yeah, strictly speaking you shouldnt bump for the sake of bumping. Creators bumping to post updates yes, people bumping just to say good luck, no.

Lookin' good.
IM SUBSCRIBING!

I'm back!
 

Sorry about being away for god knows how long but I had some problems with my accounts password... Also I had been busy making music and some other artwork to keep me occupied while I was unable to enter the forums... But I'm glad to say that I am now back! :D

So, and the game project? How is it?

I seen the page 2 and....I'm Shocked!
Its so cool!
Iv'e never seen a Cooler Fan Game Before!

Looks good

This looks soooooo AMAZING!!!!!!! keep up the great work and like Stan said you don't have to make it to long because most people just give up later when it becomes to much of a hassle.The reason why i repeated what Stan said because i really don't want this fan game to die out and the one Joshkrz is working.

Keep up with the great work on the 3D videos looking forward to it but you don't have to make em 3D.

Another thing make sure you confirm all work with OWI and all this copyright stuff cuz i don't want you guys to get sued and quit on this project.

One more thing is that the best two fan games i have seen is Joshkrz and yours(no offense to the others)and i hope none of them die out so keep up the great work and GOOD LUCK!


EDIT: Is there any subscribe thing or something to know all the updates to this thread?
If so please tell me.Also loved Joshkrz demo and i hope i will like the one you will come out with :)

Wow. Dude. I think this project is dead. We haven't had any updates in almost a year.

yeah true and a hint is that black venom's sig doesn't represent this game(it represents joshkrz game)so this might be a dead project :(

but i hope it isn't :happy:

Also i still do like joshkrz project his and this one is the two best i have seen

How many Oddworld Fan games are they now!!! its not a bad thing however :D

MoxCo already pointed out that its most probably dead. try not to clog up the front page of FC with dead threads.

I'm sorry I've just reread the story, its terrible...

actually i just did the same.

dear god.
