That completely defeats some of the puzzle elements.

Edit: Manco is a speedy shit.

There could be a door leading to the FeeCo Depot somewhere in the game. It could be blocked off with signs saying "ALL DEPARTURES CANCELLED DUE TO TERRORISTIC CIRCUMSTANCES" or something to that effect.

Also, I guess the Mudokons in the Mosaic Lines could look more wonderfully native.

Terroristic. Outstanding.

Cancelled due to terrific circumstances!

Cancelled due to terrible circumstances.

ALL DEPARTURES ON HOLD
FACILITY 1029 IS UNDER CURRENT QUARANTINE

Or just a simple "NONE SHALL PASS!" XD

It's funny because it's big letters!

It's funny because it points it out!

It rubs the lotion on its skin...

Still psyched to see Monsaic Lines, I was thinking about it earlier....just before I posted this in fact, what a coincidence. I really think it could once again be (imo) the best area in game.

It's just too bad it was so fucking boring.

So much irony in one post.

I guess you didn't understand the point of the Monsaic Lines. You lose.

I know the point. And, it's better that it was boring, I suppose, otherwise you wouldn't fully appreciate it's beauty.

Just a quick question before I let you guys get back to brainstorming ideas :confused:

But does anyone know if New'N'Tasty for PC will have the same control structure as the original? e.g. Spacebar = jump, 1 = hello, 2 = follow me, etc.



also, the throwable meat in AO, when thrown it would land with a squish.


Is it possible to make it jiggle a little when it lands? I'm assuming the BitSquid can handle jigglebones.

Yay or nay to jiggly meats?

Heheh, you said jiggly meats.

Can you make the grenades jiggle?

Is New 'n' Tasty even being released on PC?

I was under the impression it was console-only. I'm not sure why, now that I think about it.

Yes, it will be on PC.

The PC version should jiggle.

Wil, are you on Oddworld Staff ? (Just to know)

Wil is Oddworld.

Ok

Yeah he's on the staff. Crowd Surfing as we speak.

He's a JAW staffmember. This means that he is in the team working on Na'T. OWI (OddMob) and JAW are two separate entities, it's just that JAW are the ones doing Oddworld things right now.

Captain Pedantic to the rescue!

First of all, interesting abbreviation of New 'n' Tasty. I might be tempted to go with NnT, or even just NT. AONT.

Second of all, Oddworld Inhabitants != OddMobb. OddMobb was a completely seperate company that later changed its name to Xmobb and later still closed completely.

Hmm...

Can we call the game Oddysee of Abe: New 'n' Super Tasty from now on?

I'm not sure if he'd approve of that.

Oh, is that gone now? What happened to the Facebook video thing they were doing?

Oh, thank god. It actually seems like someone over there has been making good decisions over the past year instead of their normal array of awful, totally stupid, and asinine decisions that they became so well known for. Good for them.

Ok, we need more info on this. What happened?

Lorne mentioned it briefly in the Eurogamer Expo talk. He didn't really give any detail, other than saying that he'd been working on Xmobb (though I can't recall if he actually referred to it by name) and it didn't work out.

That's it? It didn't work out? Come on Wil, we need to know more about this.

Let's just be happy, Xavier. It was a stupid idea with a stupid name to begin with.

Didn't other, bigger companies try something like this? I don't hear people talking about it. It sounded like a bad idea from the start - Who wants to watch online movies or YouTube videos with other people if you're not physically in the same room as them? There doesn't seem much point in that.

E: In the meantime, people are loving OWI and their games. He should've continued to put all his effort and funds into what's proven to work rather than into pointless distractions like Xmobb.

He's still very much involved in the process of Oddworld though, it's not like he's just abandoned it. I thought he'd allude to that before I met him but he really does seem like a passionate bloke. I guess everyone needs something to keep the busy. Even if it's something like Xmobb.

Well that's true. Also I suppose it was better and more productive than simply sitting around playing games or so, while you have to learn your lessons in doing business somehow.

But I still don't know why he thought it'd be a good idea.

I didn't even know what it was until then. It's not a terrible idea, it's just nothing new, and OW shouldn't be spending ANY time even THINKING about it.

Oddworld never were thinking about it. They're two separate entities.

Lorne then, whatever.

I'm not going to go into it, but the reason the company closed was nothing to do with the idea being bad. It was actually proper fun once you had enough people in a channel throwing videos at each other. A lot of people were interested in the behind-the-scenes business world. It just never got to the stage of marketing itself to the press or public.
