Well in the other topic it says his name is Rex and he's suposidly susposed to be a Meech although that might change.

Can I bring people's attention back to Ron_Rancor's storyline idea? I think that it is a very good idea, and it would be a good opportunity for me to introduce a new species I had come up with [as the underground species Ron came up with].
They are called the Samdokons [as "Mudokon" means "Inhabitant of Mudos", so "Samdokon" means "Inhabitant of Samdos", Samdos being this new Landmass]. I hadn't thought of them as being Trogloditic, but now that I think of it, they would suit that quite well. Their main 'gimmick' is that they have no eyes. Their primary sense is hearing, and for that purpose, they emit a continual stream of ultrasonic pings, in the manner of Bats and Dolphins. This aids them in navigating in the dark tunnels underground, where eyes would be of little use. This difference in senses might cause a problem in gameplay terms, except that their pings are so frequent and their hearing so precise that they can build up almost as detailed a picture of their surroundings as we do with vision. The only real difference is that they see only planes, with no colour, so they would not be able to read text unless it was embossed in some way. So, if we were playing as Rex, the screen would look quite different: things would be monochrome [but in a cool 'night-visiony' way :D], and there would be little surface detail. On the other hand, Rex would be able to see clearly in places where Abe and Munch would see nothing, because there is no light. So missions concerning Rex would involve a lot of things like sending Rex into places too dark for Abe or Munch. Hmm... I could really do with Eibu here to think of situations... Anyway, that can be counted as my second piece of input [anything to stop people having a nonsentient creature as a main character... :D]. |

Member # 605 posted December 10, 2001 04:42 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I call it the sacred orbs located underwater it is a facility for gabbits with mystical powers.It is a place only certain gabbits no of. the bubbles are formed by volcanic activity wich also make them stronger.With eruptions the ANCIENT big bubbles were covered with lava and hardened.A lot of air escaped from these bubbles causing al the remaining air to go up and weaken the hard rock serface ,transforming it in to a kind of extra strong glass at the top. Ancient Gabbits descovered these and believed they had mystical powers they adopted the sight and gave it its name.Gabbits with powers enter the orbs and form whirlpools to gain the magic of their ancestors.Because of these magics plantgrowth is well in the orb area. It is also a well known nesting place for Gabbits and far out of reach of Glukkon and Vykker hands but for how long... |
Please accept my idea, i realy wanna be part of this! :( :D ;)
|
Can I be a script writer? We could all have a talk on oddchat about this at a certain time!
|
Rttick: I thought we might have a Kinto as a main Character or indeed a new creature. I didn't like the meech thing anyway...
:) |
So Alcar who is the drawer man please let me be one please??? :( :( :D
|
Yes I could...I'm getting all the stuff I need for christmas to make 3D-Games.
Just say what you need! |
Isn't Sligs Oddysee 2 A...............2D game...............what are you talkin about........what kind of 3D stuff?
|
Moodokon Man how good are you at drawing?
|
could i be a writer or a designer? please
|
I like the samdakons idea exept mabey it could look like wireframe it would be much easier to program (I think I don't know anything) mabey the name could do to change.
|
Sorry about this, but I don't like the Samdokons idea. *blocks ears from ron_rancors screams*
|
:
Kintos are already creatures, OI designed them. They aren't new. :
If we bought some middle-ware it would be even more easy to program. And if you want to know how much the middle-ware OI used costs (Netimmerse by NDL), it's only $250,000. Me thinks asking Drew to do it would be a good/cheap idea! |
GS: Nobody said it HAD to be new, besides like all the other stuff at this stage its only an idea. :)
|
Hey Monkey man 2000 I like to think Im pretty good I haft to show you some of my drawings and desings but I dont have a scanner so Ill try whith my dads one. :rolleyes:
|
gluck shmuck I told you I didn't know anything and what I meant was that the way they see things is wireframe not that the actual creature is wireframe and if you actually did understand me I'm sorry
|
Rettick, those are some good ideas. I never thought about them not having eyes, but you are right. The echolocation idea would really suit the character well. Also, I think that if the idea is used, that the flight thing should be taken out of my idea as it doesn't really fit the character. I like the name samdokons.
Also, if we were to use meeches, then wouldn't future Oddworld games have new information that would make the meech character in this game look and behave completely inaccurately? I think it would be better to use a completely made-up creature (samdokons :) or something else) as the main character. |
Hello everyone, im back. I'm sorry for my absence a suicidal maniac cut the telephone wires and i was without the internet for the days i was away.
Anyway could everyone who has asked myself a question in the past 3 days please repost them if necessary. Also EVERYONE please post your details so i know who is what, post these details: --------------------------------------------- Desired Position/s- (designers, writers etc) Main Email- (?????@?????.???) MSN Email- (?????@?????.???) --------------------------------------------- ALSO, these are to be posted in the new topic-Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee (Joining) Sorry for my absence, (god i've got to stop apoligising!)  |
Here's a level:
Dril's Carbon Mine. A mine set underneath the western coast of Mudos, mudokon workers employed here dig deep into the earth to find raw carbon for fuel. Since the mine has been opperating so long, the caverns are very unstable and falling rocks and even cave-ins are common. The above-ground entrance is heavily guarded, but the dense vegetation gives you good cover. There is even an abandoned town above ground, but all that remains are some rusty I-beams in a house-like pattern. I was thinking when abe got close to the mine entrance and ran out of cover, he could throw a rock at the I-beams and all the sligs would go "What?!" and look over there for five seconds, giving Abe the chance to sneek by. Inside the mine, there is little security, but only because of the extreme work conditions. Abe must manuever through falling rocks, lava, and poisonous water. As an added challenge, to treat the carbon, the facility sprays it with a cyanide-like toxin and then dumps it into the river, which has turned black. To stop this, Abe must posess the head glukkon and have him shut off the power to the cyanide vats, and only the cyanide vats, because if he turns of the power, to, say, the mining tunnel, the equiptment that holds the tunnel up will collapse, killing the miners. After all the miners are rescued, Abe takes a few of the natives to a nearby volcano and chants and... viola! The volcano slowly pumps lava into the bottom of the mine, destroying the mine. Of course, they have time to get out because you don't want to kill them, but they are left with a smoldering hole. So there ya go. |
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO MORE REGIONS OR STORIES OR OR OR OR OR OR OR OR... The Leaders have already been announced, so we will not need anymore regions to be sent in from now on. Once we have the games storyline established then we will think about these things. Also expect in the next 2 days or so to have a fully updatedOddball Inhabitants website. For now there is only the intro page but soon there shall be the proper website. Well for now thats all |
We are just trying to be supportive Alcar............(I'm not).........
 |
I know but if there are too many then:
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well maybe not that way but, we will become inundated with regions. The Leaders have been announced so the storyline will start soon. Not yet |
hOW WILL YOU GET THIS kind of tecnology ; OWI should have the TECHNOLOGY ; are you producing a bunch of CDS' all over the world ????????????
  |
Look, 101, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting a little sick of you in the Rex's Oddysee topics. If you can't be bothered to actually read the topics and find out what this is all about, then get out, will you? If you had read the topic, then you'd know that we were never really planning to produce this ourselves, we were partly hoping [beyond hope] that the ideas would be taken up by OWI, and partly just using it as an outlet for our creativity. Now stop trying to spoil it for everyone else. If you're not going to do anything constructive here, Leave.
|
we need technology well not need or mabey even want well I'm not a leader so I have no say in this anyway but it seems like all anyone has come up with is areas and the samdokons which I think don't even have a shape. anyway how about if there were caves there could be drillers they would be for munch to use and they wouldn't be used for much besides destroying pillars and eventually caving in the caves you would have to do that somewhere near the end of each level or munch wouldn't even be in some levels an apear in machine form.

Well finally i have updated both my major websites!
Go here for the Oddworld Awards winners and more. And gohere for the newly opened Oddball Inhabitants website. Yep, all the people involved with Oddball Inhabitants or Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee go there and join. There you will find that i have set it up to acompany all of out needs. When you join you must all read the page entitled 'Rules'. You must do this to know what not to do, what to do, what must happen etc. Remember this website is like the Oddworld Forums only its for all the Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee needs and demands. Also note that the names of Leaders and Leads have changed. Leaders are now called Executives, and Leads are now called Junior Executives. These names are not shhown when at the website, but they are implied. On the Oddball Inhabitants website i am called Alcar and my position is a Manager, just forget the manager part and you'll be ok. Also don't forget about the Oddworld Forums, the Oddball Inhabitants Forums is mainly for Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee related stuff. Also on the Oddball Inhabitants website, i am named Alcar, which is the same as my Oddworld Forums name. If you join and are with the Oddworld Forums please use your Oddworld Forums name. Enjoy! |
I've joined!
|
Cool website Alcar. I joined!
|
I would have put in my Drakkics...but I didn't want to spoil a future fic. Plus I am still figuring them out (culture and other things), and I am offically brain dead at the moment in terms of creative thought....*whine*
|
Thats ok.
Well not many people yet have joined, and yet alot of people posted a design region here. For all the people who don't know yet, the Oddball Inhabtants website is up and running. Please read my previous post for alot of extra information. Also, the reason i made another site for it, is that already Rex's Oddysee has taken up nearly 4 pages, and there are still another 3 topics to do something about it. So in the event of either clogging up the fan corner, there were 2 choices. 1. Create another board called 'Oddworld: Rex's Oddysee'. 2. Create a new website for everything to be placed on. I chose number 2 because i don't think number 1 would ever happen |
