Well, I'll hold you to that MeechMunchie. OWI, you can do it!

But do you guys think it's a good idea releasing the Oddbox the month that the holidays end? I mean, that comes acroos as bad planning, in my view, but meh...

End? Do people go back to school/uni/college in August?

In Australia, yes.

Perhaps Marlz isn't aware that gaming companies would schedule themselves based on the Northern Hemisphere calendar. Who am I kidding? They only care about the USA.

That's right, Australia's school year is different due to the seasonal differences. I remember from when I was at school there for a year.....

It was never specified what site would be new. Just a "new Oddworld site". Could be http://oddmobb.com/

... wait... you only went to school for one year?



Back on topic... you're right, Nate. The English releases of a lot of games are determined by the US. Heck, some games have only ever been released in NTSC for the English versions (I am, of course, talking about Kingom Hearts - Re: Chain of Memories :fuzsad:)

Yes, that's exactly what I meant...

Oh look, we're on the front page of the Gaming Sub-Reddit.

Is there any news about Oddbox pack?

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.
