Yeah, let's assume JAW and OWI have no idea what they're doing and wouldn't be able to make it work. Great faith in their abilities.

Yeah that is a good idea actually

I was going to say that, but then what about the Mudokons that need rescuing? Or maybe just make the first level an escape sequence.

Just like to point out this is the Questions and Answers thread, not the New N Tasty speculation thread.

1. Presumably yes, but I really hope they change their mind.

2. Probably, but not necessarily in the Quintology.

I'm pretty sure they will yeah. Unfortunately.


E: Fuck you Phylum, you so fast.

Actually, is Fangus supposed to be set on Mudos or another continent?

Another continent.

Wasn't it going to be set on future Earth at one point?

I don't think it was ever meant to be future Earth (you might be thinking of Citizen Siege), but there was a time when it was an unspecified 'Not Oddworld' location. Now that Lorne isn't managing a studio full of artists who want their own projects, it's definately set back on Oddworld.

The Mudokons will have more personality and individuality, but that won't manifest as a gameplay mechanic like in Abe's Exoddus.

We did have an idea, but it was too expensive and problematic to consider.

I think there's something about that in the rules.

Yes, and I will dance gleefully in circles around everyone who cries about it.

What about protagonists without hands or feet?

How do you expect to control a hero without limbs?

Had no trouble with Pacman.

It would be easy. You just wouldn't be able to pull levers.

Wouldn't really be easy then, would it.

Yes it would, parasitise a host.

Like a mudokon?

Or a steef.

It would certainly be an interesting concept, a game revolving around some sort of endoparasitoid which invades a host and replaces their tissue with its own before taking control of the host's brain through the neurones or something. You could look at cordyceps for inspiration.

On the Oddworld wikia, it says that is what Squeek will do. Then again, the said that Paramites are related to Outlaws.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The Oddworld wiki is almost as unreliable as Alf.

That’s probably because it cites Alf as a source.

Alright, so me and STM were having an argu-debate about Rupturefarms. How much of the Rupturefarms you play in AO is actually inside? Cause my theory was that a proportion of the parts you play in AO are actually on those expansive catwalks outside the facility you see in the intro with only the later areas being inside the main facility. Answer and help an old married couple?

You can usually see the sky when you're outside.

You can usually see definite walls when you're inside. If you're outside and in a place as congested with machinery and obscured with pollutants as Rupturefarms seems to be, and then placed on a 2D axis with fixed perspective then you most likely wouldn't be able to see the sky.

Inside? Yes, walls and ceilings.

Outside? Maybe, just catwalks pipes and pillars like outside Rupturefarms.

I think it's unlikely you'd get lighting like that outside, even at night.

Maybe it's smoggy around RuptureFarms.

I think Rupture Farms is just meant to be ridiculously huge, like everything else on Oddworld (and the planet itself, for that matter). Lots of cavernous spaces and whatnot.

I never thought of that being outside, just a large space filled with smog and an eerie orange hue because of the smog and how deep the place actually is.

Why Oddworld is called Oddworld ?

Because it's odd, perhaps? You don't have to be a fucking brain sergeon to figure that one out.

I want to kill myself -.-

So do I. You see, I've really- Oh wait, were you being sarcastic? Anyway, my question is Why is the smoke orange?

Aesthetic purpose, every other answer would be a lie

Actually I think it's because of sprout gas...

I don't think those areas were intended to be viewed as outside.

It could be possible, though - perhaps the orange lighting comes from a mix of the air above being so thick with smoke it blocks out the sky, and a strong unnatural light coming from deep below Abe's current level.

Even if that's not case, it sounds cool and might be a good idea to explore for NnT.

Because Offworld sounded a bit off...

Oh nice
