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...

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

It's just someone play acting as Abe..

Taco 07-14-2010 10:35 PM

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

Jordan 07-14-2010 11:00 PM

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

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

AvengingGibbons 07-14-2010 11:14 PM

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:

Sorry for the delays. Website is scheduled to go live very soon (being tested now) and the Oddboxx is coming along nicely. Release date not yet set, but will be in 2010. Lot's of progress, but not a final absolute release date yet. Progress is being made on all games. Steam achievements we're still trying to get into the old Abe games (some challenges there, as silly as it may seem).

Well spotted.

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

Viper45 07-15-2010 10:54 AM

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

brechtos 07-15-2010 11:02 AM

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.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-15-2010 11:33 AM

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

OANST 07-15-2010 11:47 AM

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

Xavier 07-16-2010 12:02 AM

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

Crashpunk 07-16-2010 03:04 AM

I can't wait untill what the Achievements are.

luke3212 08-13-2010 05:39 PM

Any news? :|

Holy Sock 08-13-2010 05:40 PM

No.

Cool story, bro.

Hazel-Rah 08-13-2010 05:55 PM

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.

smeghead25 08-13-2010 06:17 PM

Waaaaaiit a second... Why did I not think to stalk Lorne on Facebook?!

I will friend him! And feel like my life is meaningless when I am not accepted as a friend... :(

Someone who IS stalking him should probably start up a thread with every single thing he posts. Pretty please? :)

Phylum 08-13-2010 06:46 PM

If he were to post anything important, we would be informed.

Xavier 08-14-2010 01:16 AM

Yep, I'm friends with Lorne and I can tell you he doesn't use it much. And when he does it rarely interesting to us.

Dropping names are we? Well I'm in with Angus Barnett. So stick that on your wall.

Dipstikk 08-16-2010 05:31 PM

I know Dr. Robotnik on Facebook and I can tell you that he and I are very close pals.

Xavier 08-17-2010 01:04 AM

Cut the spam please..

Crashpunk 08-17-2010 02:46 AM

Is the Oddbox going to be published by the OddMobb and J.A.W now there in a parntership?

GABBITS OWN 08-17-2010 02:58 AM

I'm not sure. My guess is that it'll be Oddmobb, seeing as J.A.W. were only commissioned to do the port, not to do any original work.

They'll probably be like Steam achievements, seeing as that's what they are.

No, it will most likely be published by OddMobb alone.

They are going to be Steam Achievements. I'm not sure they have any kind of score associated to it.
