Hey how is this remake coming along?

Hello Oddworld Forum goers,

Hope you all had a Happy New Year and Christmas!

Sorry for the lack of words lately :) Just been taking care of a lot of life bullshit so ignore all of that.

I'd just like to let you all know that i'm back on the bandwagon 100% so Abe should be done in no time (Animation/texture wise).

I'll also let you know that there is a lot of content we haven't shown you just because we want to release large chunky updates rather than small cute updates just to improve workflow. So stay tuned for a Chunky Update.

We still value your input and criticisms so you'll be hearing from us ASAP with the Chunky Update.

<3 your friendly neighborhood 3D animator

I just had a ook at wha tthe Unity engine can do...and let me say that would look fantastic for an Indie game.
By the by cool stuff, keep at it.

jacker300 01-04-2010 12:17 PM

Your Game :)
 
Nice fan game you guys are making. Yours and Joshkrz look AWESOME!!!. I know i said this to other people but those peoples project "Die" especially the 3D ones. :dodgy:

I hope this 3D project doesn't die because "The Oddbox" is going to come out. So Keep up the good work.:cheer:

Software Bug 01-04-2010 12:48 PM

Thank you Jacker300!

I do think that Griever M3n and me are inspired enough to bring it to a good end, whether it takes 6 months or 2 years (hope not hehe) We just have our usual day-to-day business but every little bit of spare time is dedicated to our 3D project :-)

Taco 01-04-2010 10:43 PM

This looks excellent. I'm really looking forward to playing this when it's done because you've obviously put a lot of effort into it and it seems well-organized. I wish you the best of luck buddy (and everyone working on the project)

Oddey 01-08-2010 05:55 AM

Can't wait for the update. It makes me wish I could help, but I have very little expierince in any form of 3D.

Crashpunk 01-08-2010 11:59 AM

I hope you won't give up on the whole thing. I've seen too many good fan games crash and burn.

Software Bug 01-08-2010 02:34 PM

Haha, I am thankful for all of you all making this game :D

I hope this fan game doesn't "Die"

Edit: If you want can you please re-upload the scrab animation demo. I really wanna try it out but like i said if you want :)

Software Bug 01-10-2010 01:47 PM

Hey jacker300! glad to hear that :-) O man is it down?
Eam tell you what, I don't have access to it now, but its the first thing in the morning i'm going to do for yah :) Will update when I posted it.

Edit, just for you, uploading the windows version to rapidshare now (hope you use Windows). Will update it on my own domain tomorrow but just a quick "fix" for now. Sorry for any Mac users but I really have to go now. (Girlfriend has to get up at 7am tomorrow.)

Link is here: http://rapidshare.com/files/33338763...IN_v1.zip.html , please mind, 10x download limit and it sucks anyway but it should be enough for the night.

Another question,
Does anyone know why I can't edit the opening post? Is there like a edit limit on these forums? (Ashamed, 5 1/2 year here and still don't know that haha)

Aleks55 01-10-2010 07:29 PM

Well I'm just hearing about this now since I just got back from my long inactivity.

So how is the game coming along?

Software Bug 01-11-2010 12:50 AM

Haha welcome back then haha! :p The game is doing fine, can't reveal anything but the next few weeks (don't have an exact time period) should be pretty interesting and if we Griever M3n and I are happy with it we will totally let you guys join in on the fun :)

AlexFili 01-11-2010 07:43 AM

We could use some mirror addresses for this. Surely there are some other services which offer free downloads without locking out users?

Software Bug 01-11-2010 10:02 AM

Contacted Splat to ask about the editing, turns out there is indeed an edit limit. No problem, He will edit is for me when we hit major updates.
The scrab demo is being uploaded to the new domain as I speak so it should be up quite soon. I will post them in this post and will edit the opening post another time soon.

Aleks55 01-11-2010 12:29 PM

Awesome can't wait to see it :D

Software Bug 01-12-2010 01:19 AM

ok, eam things have changed a bit, we will reveal some nice things pretty soon. Until then you will have to use the rapidshare link for the Scrab demo (posted above in post #171)

Griever_M3n 01-12-2010 01:20 AM

Very nice things :D

Grieva 01-12-2010 03:31 AM

Fil The Slig 01-21-2010 08:46 AM

AlexFili 01-22-2010 02:31 AM

Oddey 01-22-2010 10:42 AM

I thought he was banned...

Can't wait to see these very nice things. "Can't wait" isn't literal though.

Griever_M3n 02-03-2010 12:32 AM

psst, dont tell anyone
 
(probably not sposed to upload this but check it out)

Software Bug 02-03-2010 01:31 AM

Haha well we really have been quiet for some time haha! I should get some environments in the open actually,,,, soon guys,,, soon :p

Grieva 02-03-2010 03:51 AM

Looks like really nice work Griever, I can imagine that roll animation being a bitch to do

Griever_M3n 02-03-2010 04:14 AM

Yeah a lot of the animations i've done several times... had to reconstruct the rig a little bit to get the roll sorted out but it's good now :)

i made the animations so modular that i just tacked the wait/hello/work/angry animations on top of the crouch position... worked brilliantly, besides the most minor clipping.

Oddey 02-03-2010 05:07 AM

Lookin' good Abey.

mushking 02-03-2010 07:25 PM

It's probably already been said but i just wanted to say that what you're doing i think is amazing and wish you luck with this project!

Griever_M3n 02-04-2010 01:52 AM

Thanks mushking and oddey. for that i give you Abe crouching and laughing

Phylum 02-04-2010 01:58 AM

Where's his hair!!!

Fil The Slig 02-04-2010 02:22 AM

Yes i'm back AlexFili, and i didn't left. I just didnt visit the forum anymore but now i do beceause i have nothing to do.

Phylum 02-04-2010 02:36 AM

If you quote my post, it says "I'm assuming the hair is hidden due to the angle" or other such stuff.

Thanks, though! The hair looks really great!

mlg man 02-04-2010 03:07 AM

This is going great! BTW, link to scrab demo is down for windows rar

Fartuess 02-04-2010 03:57 AM

Varrok 02-04-2010 05:28 AM

It's nice, but it still doesn't look like a mudokon :) Don't give up!

Oddey 02-04-2010 08:19 AM

I think I know what some of the problems here may be. This is going to be very intense critique, so if you aren't prepared for a very harsh verbal beatdown, please stop reading.

Firstly mudokon limbs are slack, but not that slack. There's a bit more muscle in the arms and legs. There's something odd about the hands along with the feet. Now the texturing is a bit too blueish. Abe is mostly purple really, just blent in very well with blue and green. His eyes aren't quite the orange bloodshot ones he has in the original game. Torso looks pretty good from here, and the head needs no changes, other than perhaps the eyes.

All that horrible stuff said, it's definately Abe I see in that picture. Quite a good likeness.

Grieva 02-04-2010 08:57 AM

Looks like a mudokon to me, im not great with colour myself but that skin/eye colour looks to match the MO tone accurately, and the body proportions look right,

I think people might be expecting too much from an in-game model, comparing it to the high poly/res models from the FMVs

Crashpunk 02-04-2010 09:10 AM

WTF

What the fuck? its looks esacally like a Mudokon!

MeechMunchie 02-04-2010 09:17 AM

What Oddey said, this is just for design purposes.

The feet should be bigger, specifiaclly the big toe.
The fingers need nails.
The shoulder joint should be more bony.
The waist and torso should be more similar in width.
The neck should be shorter.
The cranium (part of the head above the eyes) should be smaller.
The other half of the head should be bigger.

Also, check the art book for Abe textures. Otherwise, great!
