Edit

abe is now! 07-24-2014 11:47 AM

I have another easy question for you: what does one of the five mudokons say one they reach Necrun Mines? And what does the flying slig say while Abe's falling?

MeechMunchie 07-24-2014 12:03 PM

"We're not supposed to be here!"

"Somethin' smells!"

"We're not supposed to be here!"

What does it mean?

Holy Sock 07-24-2014 01:08 PM

as in the Mudokons are trespassing.

abe is now! 07-24-2014 01:11 PM

Does it mean "we shouldn't be here" or something like that?

Job McYossie 07-24-2014 01:12 PM

Yeah, about the same message there.

abe is now! 07-24-2014 01:17 PM

Ok thank you guys. I asked because in the italian version there are none of these.

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 05:53 AM

One thing I never really got. Why does the Mudokon Pops logo have stitches on the face? I think this might be some so of logical error within the game's own canon! #OddworldRuined

One thing I never really got. Why the childish, obviously worse, censored Mudokon Pops logo?

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 06:37 AM

Because it fits in better with the rest of the "cute" food product advertisements.

It was censored for japan because a shcool kid beheaded another quite close to release and it seemd in poor taste. Then the cartoony design was included in AE probably becaus A) like with the 3 fingered Mudokons it made it easier just to have one version for Japan & everyone else and B) Lorne said he didn't really like the original design - but he tries to give his artists some freedom - and felt the new design fit better with the other advertisements.

Which it does.

One thing I never really got. Why the macabre, gruesome, obviously unappetizing, original Mudokon Pops logo?

Xavier 07-25-2014 06:41 AM

Because Molluck needed to sell the idea to the rest of the board. The board members (including the GSG) being Glukkons, their hatred for Mudokons was well known and Molluck wanted to play that angle.

Obviously...

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 06:43 AM

Argh! Enough of this GSG! I don't wanna know111 :( damn I need this game.

Fixed

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 08:49 AM

because it doesn't make sense as an advertisement. also, why would Mudokon Pops just be heads on sticks? surely they'd use the whole carcass to make a popsicle shaped meat frozen mush snack.

Wil 07-25-2014 09:06 AM

Cutesy cartoon animals merrily advertising their own slaughter and consumption is the whole twisted point of those posters. If the horrible truth behind the consumer products isn't being hidden behind cheerful colors and happy mascots, then there's none of the irony or satire you'd expect from an Oddworld advert.

Gwan-Thwei 07-25-2014 10:09 AM

I think it was mentioned that Mudokons came from eggs. Do we know if they have a queen like Sligs, or do they reproduce the 'normal' way?

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 10:15 AM

They have queens, yes. The Queen who birthed Abe and his buddies is called Sam who's a slave of the Glukkons.

baby got back yo

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 11:04 AM

Does anyone remember how much Abe's oddysee cost when it was first released?

STM 07-25-2014 11:06 AM

I think it was either £19.99 or £29.99.

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 12:20 PM

It's getting on my nerves how some people are scoffing at New n Tasty's price point, since it's "the same game" as the one on Steam that goes for £2 at the Steam sales, whilst the same people are more than happy to buy the Last of Us remastered which is literally the same game they bought last year.

Crashpunk 07-25-2014 03:57 PM

In New 'N' Tasty. What are the things Abe can throw infinitely when he doesn't have anything like a bomb or rock?

They look like bottle caps to me.

Holy Sock 07-25-2014 04:03 PM

They are bottlecaps.

Crashpunk 07-25-2014 04:06 PM

SoulStorm brew caps?

Abe's Exoddus confirmed

Something I've been wondering about is the fuzzles. Do we have any information on them (eg social interactions, breeding habits, role in Oddworld's industrial hierarchy, etc) that hasn't been shown to us in MO and SW?

Bullet Magnet 07-27-2014 12:38 PM

They reproduce via binary fission.

I think that was honestly a plot device more than anything else. It instantly conveyed a sense of shock of seeing the head of the lead character on a stick and instantly shows the danger Abe and his fellow workers are in.
