Sligstorm
 
Who here has played Sligstorm? I've been trying to buy it but I'm having a really hard time finding it. I played it over at my friends house once and I really like ii.

Cyber-Slig 05-12-2006 10:35 AM

Ummm... SligStorm doesn't exist. It was never made.

AprilD 05-12-2006 11:20 AM

Are you sure? Cause I played it over a friends house. Maybe it was just a demo.

Cyber-Slig 05-12-2006 11:55 AM

Then it wasn't SligStorm. Only the concept of the game was announced, but they never even got through to starting with it.

AprilD 05-12-2006 12:38 PM

Well, I feel stupid.

Slaveless 05-12-2006 01:02 PM

SligStorm was a game that was suppose to side with AE. The game itself was intended to be the length of Slig Barracks, in AE. For some reason, the people didn't like it, and for all eternity, was cancled. Or shelfed. Just some feedback on the game.

If your friend really has the game, rob him or her, and make copies of the game. Then of course, give it back. If it really was a video, well doggonit there goes our dreams.

AprilD 05-12-2006 01:06 PM

I'll have to call him up and ask him about it. I guess I could have been wrong, though. I don't really like going over his house anymore though cause everytime I do he wants to play drinking games. With just the two of us. I mean, he's a really sweet guy but I just don't think of him that way. Know what I mean?

Slaveless 05-12-2006 04:02 PM

This idea is understandble, but I have never experienced that kind of relationship. But I know it must be hard to be friends with someone who likes you in a different way.

Anyway, it must be trailer. No history of SligStorm demos or games have been written.

Nate 05-12-2006 11:48 PM

Can't have even been a trailer. If there was one we'd have known about it.

Xavier 05-13-2006 02:50 AM

hmmm, they never released anything from Sligstorm.
the first time they mentioned it, it was already canceled

magic9mushroom 05-15-2006 02:17 PM

Maybe he decided to create his own game
If so, pls send it to someone who can publicise it

Xavier 05-15-2006 11:03 PM

sorry?
there is only a part of the story written and some storyboards

skillya_glowi 05-16-2006 08:38 AM

I haven't seen anything about it. Not even on the OW fansites. Where are the storyboards??

Note: Slaveless, your sig is spelled wrong.

Xavier 05-16-2006 10:25 AM

the storyboards are on the walls of OWI
at least they were

no one has been released

skillya_glowi 05-16-2006 11:26 AM

If they weren't released, then how can someone see them? *suspiciously* They don't have an inside man on this forum, do they?

Xavier 05-16-2006 12:40 PM

well nobody on this forum saw it
just someone at OWI told it in an artile

magic9mushroom 05-16-2006 02:40 PM

Maybe the friend created his own game

Xavier 05-17-2006 01:14 AM

what do you mean?

ODDREN 05-17-2006 02:15 AM

it may be renamed Slig's Oddysee:)if it's true then i must say i heard about oddworld fan who created simple oddworld game on his own...maybe now it has expansion - Sligstorm?;)....though i don't recall name of this guy...need to look in my archives!

Xavier 05-17-2006 02:25 AM

Drew did some games... but SligStorm was an official project ;)
and I doubt they would rename it Slig's oddysee, we didn't had Mudonkon's Oddysee or Gabbit's Oddysee

ODDREN 05-17-2006 03:13 AM

again, why not, Xav?)since this title's closed - we can do our games freely))by the way, do you have this Sligstorm or some link where i can find it?..really wanna play:)

Xavier 05-17-2006 03:29 AM

I'm sorry I realy don't understand what you want to do, you want to make a SligStorm on your own?

anyway I found Drew's site with his little Slig oddysee's (in Extra) on it, enjoy:

ODDREN 05-17-2006 05:23 AM

And if i do?))...we (fans) know a lot of things about Oddworld Universe, there are many talented coders, musicians, painters, scriptors (etc) among us, so we have to try to carry on OWI while they course is not games but movies...it's a simple thing, we already have fanart and fanfiction on forums, why don't just add CG and script? genre? everything we want - from quest to strategy (maybe chess-sim)...:)

let's try, people

skillya_glowi 05-17-2006 08:40 AM

Dude, this is kinda sad. It was updated two years ago.

Xavier 05-17-2006 10:19 AM

I don't want to disapoint you ODDREN, but most of the games projects done by fans were canceled

magic9mushroom 05-17-2006 08:12 PM

I meant the friend created a game of his own and called it SligStorm...maybe.

ODDREN 05-18-2006 02:42 AM

were canceled by whom and why?..by creators themselves?...then they're just lazy loosers, what more can i say))sitting on their asses and waiting for piece of info from OWI - that's the spirit of a true oddworld fan with talents in game developing)))HA!

Nate 05-18-2006 04:01 AM

More likely they were started and never finished. Personally, I've got about five games/programs in various states of completion in my 'Programming' folder ATM.

Ninjaxe 05-18-2006 04:16 AM

Reading this get me excited to see this sligStorm. We'll just have to wait¬_¬ :p till aprilD gets back to us.

Plus the slig oddysee is crude, its like the old bombjack or super mario for snes

skillya_glowi 05-18-2006 08:35 AM

You mean the name?

Oh, yeah, remember we had that idea, about a hero slig overthrowing Skillya...

Slaveless 05-19-2006 02:21 PM

Where? I don't see anything.

Anyway, fan games may actually get somewhere sometimes. I remember an old fourm I went to, actually had a demo of a game and another had a progress in completeion. I don't know if he finished it, but to keep a project to keep being in progress, you need positions. Like, have one to do the mangment, another to make the programming, another to design what the game will look like. We could pull something off if we tried.

Nate 05-19-2006 08:08 PM

I think he means the word 'idoit'

AprilD was a troll who made up this thread to get a reaction. End of story.

It...er, looks like you deleted the quote the mistake was in, but it said, "Being an idoit sure is contagious." What the hell is "idoit"?


Still, I believe that it will take the entire genius of the OWI co. to actually create an Oddworld-quality game.

NATE LOOK AT MY F***ING GENDER SIGN!!!

Slaveless 05-20-2006 03:29 PM

My mistake. And skilla_glowi, he didn't mean to call you a boy. You are kind of make a big deal of a little mistake. No offense.

I guess he could have possibly just not pushed the "s". Bleh

Nate 05-21-2006 04:27 AM

Sorry. Unless someone here posts pictures of themselves and talks about the boys I tend to assume they're male. Even then sometimes...

*in Mudokon voice* OK...

That's weird, I do that too sometimes. Like when I refer to the forum in a company of people who aren't part of the forum I speak of "The Guys". I dunno. I guess there's this weird association of Oddworld that does it. If this were...well, I dunno, the Barbie(retarded thing) fan forum, then you'd obviously associate every account with being female (Well, usually, that's the way it turns out). But who says women can't make it big in the fan world of OWI? I mean, look at Abe Babe for example.

Xavier 05-21-2006 10:05 PM

actually Oddworld is a big hit by woman gamers, that's why we do have much more female fans than other videogames such as... (I dunno)... lets say Halo.

Zerox 05-23-2006 02:17 AM

They may have got the data from the slig barracks in AE, then put it into a blank disc *shrugs*
Often, also, I feel that peoples avatars so something about them, so c*ap avatars don't make me feel that the person isn't all that great. Grammar too. Sometimes, the avatar makes me think about gender. I guess from their personality and name, mostly. I mean, when not looking at the gender sign, there isn't always one one some forums.

skillya_glowi 05-23-2006 08:15 AM

That's because women don't see much sense in games like Halo. I mean, what's so special about it? Just a whole bunch of guys running around shooting each other...
