Not that I know off. The new Oddworld website will be coming up this months though.

Like always: "should come out soon"

Linky?

Lorne Lanning : Should be an announcement shortly. Apologies for the long delays. I can't speak on new developments until given an official greenlight for announcements. Hoping you're able to know what we're up to in the next month or so. 08/07/10

Just thought id post this as we are on the topic of Oddbox and future releases its from Lornes facebook by the way.

Thanks for the heads up...

I really wonder what the announcement will be, hopefully something bigger then the exact release date of the Oddbox.

Yeah I hope it's more than that to, everyone is expecting it to be the Oddbox but it would be awesome to see something new.

Hopefully it's that 2.5D game that AbeMudokon has been alluding to...

Two things:

1. Who the hell are you talking about?
2. What the hell are you talking about?

Who: http://twitter.com/AbeMudokon
What: http://twitter.com/AbeMudokon/status/17284049680

Who: doesn't really answer my question
What: To what was he responding in giving that reply?

Okay, I've reconstructed the discussion (aka, hit the "in reply to" links starting from here: http://twitter.com/dammit_rab/status/17284292660)

AbeMudokon : Has anyone seen the moon? It looks my hand #Oddworld
dammit_rab : @AbeMudokon 2 Dimensions. PLEASE!
AbeMudokon : @dammit_rab how about 2.5?
dammit_rab : @AbeMudokon YES YES YES YES YES
AbeMudokon : @dammit_rab ok, I'll think about it
dammit_rab : @AbeMudokon ;____;

As for who AbeMudokon is and whether he's an official source I don't know.

Who: That's as much information as exists. If a direct link to ‘who’ever it is you’ve just asked to be informed about is insufficient for you, you’ll just have to take it up with reality.

What: The text ‘in reply to dammit_rab’ is a link to exactly that.

EDIT: Xav beat me to it. :(

True, but my last post was merely that until this person identifies him/herself as an Oddmobber, we shouldn't put too much weight on his opinions of what might be a good idea.

And even if it is an official source, the 2.5D game mention seems to be kind of nonsense babble.

We are off the front page now. The whole thing was just a few days ago.

Well, AbeMudokon said the website would be up and running this month a week or so before The Native told us.

All dates relative to my timezone, obvs.

Damn you Max...

Think it might be possible he's referring to the Anti-Social Network beta?

I doubt it. I wouldn't bother calling it an Oddworld site if it weren't. It's probably to support the digital distribution re-releases, which as far as I'm aware are their only source of income and demographics evidence at the moment.

It's possible the ASN could include Oddworld related games...

:D

Who's the AbeMudokon guy??.. Couldn't it just be someone winding you all up??....

It's just someone play acting as Abe..

Probably is. But I don't know how to use twitter at all so I cant be sure

Hey, that guy's background is the same as Max's avatar.

For some reason I'm believing this AbeMudokon guy...

I got a message off someone on my PSN friends.. The message was one of those chain letters that ends up circling around.. it said that Playstation Home were releasing an update with driveable cars included, and that if u send the message on to 30 ppl you will receive a free BMW something something.. so i wrote back to him explaining it was a load of crap, and he was like "NO UR WRONG!" in caps too.. so ive bet him that its just some little pointless joke.. Still waiting for the Playstatio Home update.. -_-

Don't believe the stuff you hear, unless it's definately from official sources..

I think the staff here seems to know a whole lot more than they're letting us in on.

Speculation aside, you know what's really sad? I've had several occurring dreams the last few months where I find out Oddmobb.com is finally up, then I wake up all shaking and sweating realizing I won't get my fix... Bad mojo!

That just makes me feel sad inside.

Actually we don't, we'll let you know when we do tough...

Oh and this is from Lorne's Facebook:

Well spotted.

That's why they're called Achievements, surely?

I think he means they're having some difficulties implementing them into the old games, not that the achievements themselves will be challenging.

Still waiting patiently:D

Bummer that you hear so little from Lorne, I really love his take on game design and his interviews are always awesome:)

Unless I'm looking in the wrong places...:fuzzle:

Indeed adding new stuff into older things can be very challenging.

lorne has facebook? someone should keep an eye on what hes saying (about oddworld obviously)

How do you think they managed to post about it here?

Yep, we some of us are stalking him, don't worry about that.

I can't wait untill what the Achievements are.

Any news? :|

No.

Cool story, bro.

I hope OddBox comes to consoles, it would be so cash to play MO and SW on 360 with achievements! I'd get rid of my original Xbox finally.
