i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the only reason why it would take long is because of the process in building the game and createing a story. Oddworld is so good it is probabaly like makeing a full motion picture for them. They write the script which could take months maybe even a whole year. They have to create story boards and and all the conceptual artwork for the game. Then they have to make all of that come alive through computer graghics. I am taking animation and visual design coarses right now in college and it involves a lot of problem solveing and configuration. You have to make basic shapes sort of talk to each other and work together in order to create your world. You have to think 3D when it comes to this type of thing. Plus you got to think of your business too. How many copies I want to start out with and figureing prices and fun things like that. And on top of it all you have to create the sounds and the music. But in the end what you created is something extrordinary.

Stuff like Oddworld, movies involves putting things together to make one whole thing. And by the time you get finnished with what you are makeing a game or a movie if you want it good it will be a two three year process. That is why it takes so long. But you have to admit it is well worth it in the end. You know?

i know but it takes too long!!!!!!

the problem lies in them trying to take it to the next level. they already have many of the models, but now they want to improve it. (which i agree with) we could easily have an expansion game with the the same characters and different scenarios. its very painful to know that the wait is for our own good. keep the faith, loose the spooce.

M.O.M 11-01-2002 02:59 PM

i didnt mind the spooce but it got annonying!!!!!

OK so as of november updates it looks like we are screwed on the waiting thing. No major updates, no new pics. that just means we have to get creative with our topics.

Alcar 11-01-2002 06:46 PM

Wouldn't they also be developing a new engine, I'm guessing that they want the whole game alot different from MO. So wouldn't they also be designing A.L.I.V.E 3?

Alcar...

i have my doubts that the two games under development will use the same game engine but i could be wrong. does HoO need an alive engine? it is not going to be played in the same way as the quintology games. we will see. as for right now we are waiting for even the smallest peice of info on the next game.

M.O.M 11-04-2002 12:46 PM

i like the A.L.I.V.E engines

paramiteabe 11-04-2002 01:46 PM

Here is a crazy idea any fan liveing in San Louis Obispo CA or near there go over to OWI hide in the back alley of OWI and spy on them and see what is going on. Then report back to us anything you have seen. Now that would be helareous and stupid!:lol: We would be stalking Lorne Lanning!

I can see it now in the Daily Deception for December "An Oddworld fan today has been caught red handed spying on the production of the next game! We consalted are slig security to take care of the freak. Lets just say its all in the name of Moolah!":lol: Hey its a profit thing how else can we satisfy our costomers yuck yuck!:lol: Now all we have to do is see who will be the stooge to carry out this rediculous idea. hmm anybody?

M.O.M 11-04-2002 03:49 PM

HA HA HA:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: anyway i forgoat what alive stands for

Aware Lifeforms In Virtual Entertainment

Oddipus 11-04-2002 04:51 PM

I thought it was:

Aware Lifeforms In a Virtual Environement

Xavier 11-04-2002 05:01 PM

look at here:
http://web.archive.org/web/200002291...k/alivetop.swf

from the old oddworld site

Oddipus 11-04-2002 05:12 PM

hmmm, convincing, but I remember very well reading 'environement' in some interview with one of the inhabitants. They must have changed it.

Xavier 11-04-2002 05:14 PM

you are right: "Environement" sounds better.
and it is possible they changed the name

Thanx But i've heard rumours of OWI are going to use a engine called N.U.D.E in the near future?

Xavier 11-05-2002 02:33 PM

N.U.D.E.@. is a totally other game and isn't from oddworld.
I believe it's from japan and use the voice regognition technology.
NOT ODDWORLD!

M.O.M 11-06-2002 04:44 AM

ah...oops O.K maybe they wont use N.U.D.E

Xavier 11-06-2002 01:28 PM

they won't use the name of an other game it's kinda illegal.

M.O.M 11-06-2002 03:41 PM

Its a Game? i thought it was a engine

Xavier 11-06-2002 06:06 PM

Xavier 11-07-2002 02:26 PM

don't know, maybe but it is japan voice recognition, but I'm nearly sure there will be an english adaptation.

M.O.M 11-07-2002 02:29 PM

Great it looks really good

souled out 11-09-2002 01:27 AM

seems to me Alive will be there staple (not that nude doesnt sound charming) but i belive they want to stick with their original intent and make us belive there really is an oddworld. that means new and better AI.

M.O.M 11-09-2002 06:19 AM

Wel done OWI for keeping with A.L.I.V.E

tybie_odd 11-13-2002 04:38 PM

Ah, the struggle for survival...
 
Yes, waiting can be so hard, M.O.M.! Don't worry; the day will come. :fuzwink:

Xavier 11-13-2002 05:22 PM

well... next year:
:

depthsofodd: Can u tell us a estimate to when the next game will be released? 1 yr 2 yrs?
Alf: I would say we hope that the next game will be released at the end of 2003 but we don't know for sure. We want to make sure we get it right.

M.O.M 11-14-2002 04:34 AM

Really, if its next year it wont be such a long wait

Xavier 11-14-2002 02:08 PM

don't forget the game can be released a way later if they have problems with the developpement :fuzwink:

Oddsville 11-14-2002 06:21 PM

...And then comes the beta testing, which leads to the bug fixing and so forth...:fuzsmile:

Xavier 11-15-2002 05:16 PM

and not to forget, the final plot changings... :fuzemb:

Oddsville 11-15-2002 06:48 PM

Xavier 11-16-2002 05:41 AM

M.O.M 11-16-2002 07:03 AM
