Weird doesn't really cover it.

Someone needs to realise that into a work of art.

I looked on Google for 'shoppable images, but there aren't any of the "Fly, my pretties" moment with a monkey's face visible.

I could only find one.

Unfortunately the res isn't the best so here's a bonus to make up for it.

Am I the only person feeling really uncomfortable right now?

That first picture in particular, is simply glorious.

Anyway. Whatever. Back on topic.

Other than the brief description given in 'The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants', is there any other information on Ma'Spa?

It's the breeding pools of the gabbits complete with ancient temple, and I'm not sure about this, but I think that it flows into the Mongo river.

...

Nice.


I heard it's where the final battle between Abe and Molluck's mechsuit happens.

Well, Molluck's mechsuit, anyway. Abe possesses a few trees

Well, cactuses actually cuz da western environment
@beeguy The book was in a box somewhere and I didn't want to get it out and look for the description and read it and compare it to my post and I'm so sorry.
Oh wait cacti are trees.

I'll let BM field this one.

Some types of cacti are considered trees, ja.

Name two.

And here I was convinced that they were succulents.

Carnegiea Gigantea and Trichocereus pasacana DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DEFINE AS A TREE, meet the requirements. Thanks, google.

There is no universally recognised precise definition of the word "tree," neither in botany nor common language.

there's nothin' succulent about cacti. too spiky.

But they are a type of succulent right?

Have you ever eaten one? They're succulent as hell.

Has anybody else had cactus juice soda, or is it just in Arizona?

No, it's available in Southern Nevada and SoCal, too. Possibly even New Mexico.

Get back on topic, please.

Here's a wee question for Wil.

I can't remember if this has been asked before, and if so, whether an answer was given. I did have a quick search but couldn't find an answer.

Are there any plans for a collector's edition/ hard copy of NnT? I'd love to get a blown up map of Oddworld and some cards or something. >>

We've certainly put thought into it, but at the end of the day it's a very expensive operation that we don't have the backing for. If we had a physical distributor with the existing infrastructure, that at least would be something. We'd still like to see it, so maybe we'll come up with something.

Isn't there an option to start a kickstarter campaign for it or something? I would love some limited edition Oddworld stuff as well.

Well whatever you can do. I hadn't really thought about the constraints an indie publisher might face with that sort of thing. Well it's nice to know you've thought about it, even if you cannae make any limited edition copies.

Do you mean the manufacturing infrastructure or the distribution infrastructure? If the latter, maybe take a look at what Telltale do: they sell digital copies through a whole bunch of services, plus both digital and physical copies (and merch) through their website.
