Varrok there, speaking with complete backing from JAW.

Steam is one of the primary platforms they will be releasing it on. Surely you know how big of a boner Lorne gets for DD platforms. Steam is the only one available given their history with EA.

What about Gamersgate?

Crashpunk 11-16-2012 02:22 AM

What about Origin? ...

Oh man I couldn't type that with straight face.

Wil 11-16-2012 02:23 AM

It's is far too early to be thinking about which stores we'll be stocking in, beyond "Any we can".

Hopefully the engine has a Linux port too :(

Varrok 11-17-2012 04:37 AM

There's MacOSX support, but I can see no Linux. That's confusing

Phylum 11-17-2012 12:28 PM

What's confusing about that?

Varrok 11-17-2012 12:37 PM

They're technically very similar OSes, it's weird if it's only compatible with one but not with the other one

Nate 11-17-2012 02:17 PM

The base OSes are similar, but I believe that the graphics APIs are quite different.

V_O_T 11-17-2012 10:55 PM

So speaking of New'N'Tasty, i'd assume the staff are on NDA's. But, is there any new info we can squeeze out of you Wil? Like, I dunno, hows progress going? Progressing eh what?

I think its the inverse, the OSX version must be using OpenGL which works on Linux, but system api's for opening files/creating timers and things might be different.

Vyrien 11-18-2012 03:14 AM

:

Mac OS is based on a BSD code base, while Linux is an independent development of a unix-like system. This means that these systems are similar, but not binary compatible.

Furthermore, Mac OS has lots of applications that are not open source and are build on libraries that are not open source. Because of this reason, it is not possible to port those applications to run on Linux without being the copyright owner of those applications and libraries.
Found here.

I think that pretty much answers it.

Yes, progress is indeed being made.

STM 11-18-2012 01:16 PM

Phew!

Xavier 11-21-2012 07:09 AM

Yes, but what kind of progress?

Just only to show you how wrong you were.

Xavier 12-16-2012 03:01 AM

Well there is still the BUY list in this very forum to report sales on oddworld games...

Nepsotic 12-16-2012 06:49 AM

Where the shit's his nob?

Bullet Magnet 12-16-2012 10:37 AM

Behind his leg? At the shop? In a special bag?

Varrok 12-16-2012 10:56 AM

In a place you didn't expect it to be? In a hole? Somewhere near you? All of the above?

STM 12-16-2012 02:15 PM

It's up my arse.

Bullet Magnet 12-16-2012 05:54 PM

Aaaaaand that's another one. What is it about this place?

marlz 12-16-2012 10:19 PM

Well, actually...

(TerribleJokeTurnedAwful)

Nate 12-16-2012 10:28 PM

Please get back on topic.

marlz 12-16-2012 10:37 PM

*nods*


Going back a few conversations to what SoloStark was saying about how the "orange haze" seemed to be more present all over the sections of Rupture Farms that we've seen... what take to people have on that? Better with the Zulag colour playing into the environment all-round or just a bit overbearing? I'm rather curious as no-one took note of it, but it's an interesting idea: is more metal needed or does the fog work fine?

Although... birds. Haha, an idea has come to mind. Remember the Abe Portal in Monsaic Lines?
Well, here's a thought. Considering how much the birds seem to just be part of the atmosphere, blissfully tweeting away until you move past too loudly, what do people think about having some groups of birds in certain areas coming together to make Abe Portals? (just to perhaps make them a little more distinct)
Not so much a case of finding heaps of birds together, but perhaps something to give the Abe Portals a distinguishable difference aside from just rotating.

I get where you're coming from, but we have to think of a way to not detract from the originality. Maybe have faint chant flicks of light/fire fly light trickling around empty areas where the portal would be. When chanting the birds can come out of those flickers of light or come to them and then fly away as they usually do when the portal closes.

But if I take the "screw the originality" approach, why not have the same fire fly lights hovering faintly around, but when chanting, reality rips open to a white or negative coloured hole where the muds escape. As this happens the background expands in the area of the portal is, with maybe small, faint heat waves protruding outwards slightly.


Also, @JAW devs, more screenshots pretty plz? :P

i'll bake some hyper muffins for you :>

Nope!

We're going pretty much quiet on New 'n' Tasty until a lot closer to completion.

Bullet Magnet 12-17-2012 04:52 AM

You can tell us. Our powers keep you alive.

Nepsotic 12-17-2012 07:19 AM

He has a point.

Crashpunk 12-17-2012 08:41 AM

Exclusive screenshots for the Oddworld Forums??? :3

Go oooon!

Nate 12-17-2012 12:24 PM

Y'all don't know shit about reverse psychology.

Varrok 12-17-2012 01:34 PM

We do. We just don't really want them. Don't post them

Nepsotic 12-17-2012 02:37 PM

Ever. In fact, don't even release the game. Stop working on it. Now.

Connell 12-17-2012 03:45 PM

I always hated Oddworld. A HD remake would be a shit idea.

Fuck that little blue bastard.

Bullet Magnet 12-17-2012 06:26 PM

Wil... you know what I can do for you...
