I was a little disappointed to read about Fangus and SW2 being potential forerunners for the next projects after New n' Tasty, Each to their own and everything, but I'd kill to see the quintology get continued properly, starting with Munch's Exoddus, then Squeek. SW2 seems kinda un-needed, especially given the long timespan since the Quintology plans were announced.

How could you comment when you know next to nothing about what Fangus and SWII might be like...or what they're about? Bizarre.

Crashpunk 05-11-2013 07:42 AM

I always thought the artwork for Fangus looked amazing. I really hope something becomes of it in the future.

MeechMunchie 05-11-2013 08:59 AM

Meetles and Elum chariots.

Munch's wheelchair?


Too far, man.

With squeaking noise louder x1000

So does this mean that Glitch wasn't speaking quite so hypothetically?

Haha, we hadn't actually found anything about it in the archive back then.

Trust me, we want to tell those stories too, but we also want to tell them in the best way possible. We need the resources, the team, the cash, the trust and attention from the industry and fans all to be so much greater than they are now. Let's not let our ambition outreach our ability. Little, careful, sustainable steps.

If you ever need a senior coffee maker to help productivity, I'm out of school and unemployed as of...next month. XD

Jbot123 05-11-2013 09:55 AM

If you need an intern I'll move to Algeria. Or wherever you guys are.

Bastards stop adding more things.

The first time I've ever been remotely referenced in a drawing not made by myself. (that's right, I can draw)

STM 05-11-2013 11:12 AM

Wow, that's actually a mega-sexy piece of concept art. You know what to do, JAW.

Slog Bait 05-11-2013 12:44 PM

The slig tank is my favourite.

Jbot123 05-11-2013 04:15 PM

But no banana or hot dog! Boooo!

Xavier 05-12-2013 02:18 AM

Still need a kart with sloggies instead of wheels :p

Scrabaniac 05-12-2013 02:47 AM

The only way i can see it being canonical is if the different species are forced to race for the queens (and possibly kings) amusement in like a colloseum (spelling?)

Manco 05-12-2013 03:25 AM

Why does it need to be canonical?

Jbot123 05-12-2013 04:01 AM

How about the Glukkons are trying to take over the world, so they have a race! The only catch is you never get to see how it ends.

I'm going to be nice this time, but never ever say stuff like this again in the "Oddworld Discussion". You have been warned.

Also thanks guys.

e: Fixed the thing on the front, it was massive.

Xavier 05-12-2013 05:14 AM

Ok, this is absolutely perfect! This game needs to happen!

Slog Bait 05-12-2013 10:01 AM

Dammit Vyrien, stop making great posts. The forum won't let me +rep you that often.

Also, as far as "canonical" goes, having queens or vykkers or some other higher up hold races for their amusement is pretty damn solid. Otherwise, who really cares. It's bound to be fun if it's done right, canon or not.

OddYouko 05-12-2013 11:08 AM

Sh**, that looks cool! I'd be using that Slog-kart all the time, it looks so awesome and adorable at the same time! :p

And I agree, please make it happen. I'd buy it for sure!

Is that an official moderator threat, or do you just dislike me suggesting that? Like, would I get an infraction?

Slog Bait 05-12-2013 02:47 PM

There's this thing called PMing. You should give it a shot when you have questions like that.

Xavier 05-13-2013 02:09 AM

It's me as an Oddworld fan, not as a moderator, I would never abuse my powers like that. It's just that the guys at OWI have worked so hard to build a believable and complex world that it sounds a bit harsh to say "who cares it's videogame logic anyway".

Jbot123 05-13-2013 02:38 AM

It was a joke about kart racing games, and how they have unresolved plots that don't make sense in the first place. Just forget about it.

LawgSkrak 06-10-2013 05:58 AM

As an XBox fan, I was disappointed coming on here today for the first time in ages, and seeing that all the new stuff coming out was only for Playstation.

Then I remembered that the XBox One looks like it's gonna be complete crap and I'll probably be making the switch to PS, and all was well.

Xavier 06-11-2013 06:59 AM

Where did you see it was coming out exclusively on Playstation? As far as I know OWI is now trying to release its games on as many platforms as possible.

MeechMunchie 06-11-2013 07:02 AM

New 'n' Tasty is making an "exclusive console debut" on PS4. In other words, it'll be on other consoles later and PC from launch.
