Upcoming Fan Game, Oddworld: Odd In Balance
Earlier this year I thought of making an Oddworld fan game. I am a 2d game maker and is fascinated by Oddworld. So this is my Oddworld game Oddworld: Odd In Balance.
The story follows Fred an adorable, but ugly fuzzle. I'm currently working on the script. This is a brief plot: After Vyyker's labs explode the queen Glukkon dies, because she needed Munch's Lungs, and all authority's will die out. Fred the fuzzle is underneath Vyyker's Labs at the time of the explosion and finds and eats a Vyyker's Labs Original Language Translation Pill. The greedy Glukkons decide to blow up Oddworld killing everything. So Fred Finds this out and has to save every being (Besides Sligs, slogs, glukkons etc) Fred manages to save all the inhabitants of Oddworld and set of on a space craft to find a habitable planet. The find earth and land. THE END. Here is fred's sprites (Gaming Pictures) I'm still working on them. Here is his voice. http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik...c00b12986ff789 Please Help Out! Thanks For Reading!:fuzsmile: Here is fred's sprites (Gaming Pictures) I'm still working on them. |
Sounds interesting. But shouldn't this be in Fan Corner?
|
Sorry This Was My First Post I Don't Know Where Anything Is.:fuzemb:
|
This sounds very proffessional, decent story and the sprites look awesome. I can't wait to see where this goes. Good job. ;)
|
This is cool =D i want more Abe 2D games :D
|
Yeah.It looks Fantastic. keep work.
|
Hopefully you get this done. It sounds pretty cool.:D Much better than anything I've ever made.
|
Thanks for all your comments, they're greatly appreciated.:fuzgrin:
|
Sorry for double posting, Sprite Update Check First Post.
|
Nice hopping sprites. How's the rest of the game going?:D
|
Pretty Slow Actually.
By The Way does anyone know where an oddworld map is? A lot of scenes involve it. I think there's one in the The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/ Please help.:fuzemb: |

Not me, http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...RAMO0181_2.jpg By the way good work ;) |
Thanks So Much!
Please Reply! |
Sorry to double post but, does anybody have a high res picture of the
Oddworld Inhabitants logo (900 pixels or above.) Thanks in advance.:fuzsmile: |
I bet you could get one from TOGG and shrink it with MS paint. And anything else for today?:D
|
if you go to www.oddworld.com, it comes up with the OWI logo. You could print screen it.Good luck with the game!
|
Where? Can you post a direct link to it? Thanks.
|
Those sprites are looking good, and over all everything looks quite proffessional done. Good luck with it all!
|
bump:fuzmad:
|
I'm interesting more in the specifics of the game; how are you coding it, ect?
|
I'm using Click Team's Multimedia Fusion Dev, it should make the coding quick and easy, yet still have excellent quality.
For cut scenes I'm not sure, most likely Blender 2.46, if not I may have to do spriting movies. The finished game will be download-able free ware, on EXE format. There will be one or two demos, just to make you sure I'm still working the game. I hope these answers your questions, any more comments would be appreciated.;) |
I might be able to help with some things if i have the time or if im even bothered to lol, I have alot of experience with photoshop so that might help with developing most 2D and rendering 3D art... I don't know lol!
+ i have expierience in making music, 3D graphics development, Sound Editing, Game maker and alot of other things... |
Blender? As in 3D cutscenes? Cool! At first I thought this was going to be just another Gamemaker game. I'm looking forward to the first demo.
|
I'm still deciding:
Do you want a Blender cut scenes like this http://www.responsibilityproject.com/films/lighthouse/ Or sprite movies like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZzuVQwaVYM The blender cut scenes will add months to the time schedule. But sprite movies will only take a day or two. Please vote |
The second video was weird.
Anyway, it's up to you what you do. I'd like to see them done in Blender, but then again sprite movies might go with the game a bit better. It all depends on how much time you really want to spend on them. |
I'm planning to spend a year or two, whatever it takes to bring the Oddworld tradition alive again.:fuzwink:
|
That would be awesome! Iv'e always loved the 2D games best. As soon as I started playing Munch's Oddyssey, I then knew it definately sucked because the action wasn't all that great plus oddworld just dosn't seem as right in 3D as it is 2D. Anyway, Good luck with the project! :D
(i could help with alot of things) ^^ |
:
I need you to make a 3d render of Fred, about 1000px x 1000px Thank you all for your help, Anybody who helps gets tons of credit in the end credits!:p:fuzgrin: |
I'll get started now then, i'll see what i can get done
|
Here Are Some General Level Items: :fuzgrin:
|
Heres my progress so far... Just getting the basic model made and ready to shape!

holy s***, I like what I'm seeing!!!:fuzgrin:
Thats it i've decided to go with blender 3d! (Could I use it for the cut scenes?, you will be credited lead modeler!):) |

ur the best , keep goin' dude;).

Thought i might upload and show you this area that is like Soulstorm Brewery and Bonewerkz put together. I created this last night. Made the background in a game called Second Life and got the sprites randomly from the internet and poory ripped them. dosn't have to be good quality anyway, just shows what goes where! :P
I know it may look crap but it is a rushed project... i sometimes hate using up too much time on some things... there is supposed to be a security orb there too but.... no luck finding a decent sprite lol! http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...ctoryarea1.jpg ((EDIT)) I have made some sprites with Second Life and Photoshop. Hopefully they can be usefull. :) Sorry for making them so big lol http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...pritescopy.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...pritescopy.jpg ((EDIT AGAIN)) Here's an update on the fuzzle, Finally figured out how to get the textures onto it, now that i know how I can make better textures to replace some of the current ones to make it look better. By the way, the fuzzle with these textures would still look good if a light scource was applied to it to give it shadows and it's skin a bit more tone. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...um/Fuzzle3.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...um/Fuzzle4.jpg |
Nice that looks sweet keep up the good work!
Could you please save it as a .blend file, and post it here, so I can start to use it? |
Wow-ee, nice work!
|
I got shadowing to work now so heres the pics of the Fuzzles rendered and shadowed also with darker textures. Enjoy :D
there may be a few faults in the model as what the lighting shows, im going to see if I can fix these problems but I have attempted before, didn't do much... ((EDIT)) The storyline for this game seems a bit dodgy. what I mean by that is the Glukkons wouldn't want to destroy Oddworld in the first place. Theydon't intend to kill off all mudokons, They are pretty much like buisness men but with enough evilness inside them to kill. Glukkons only use the wildlife of Oddworld for their own profit or personal gain. Another thing is that Glukkons wouldn't want to leave Oddworld in the first place because that is where their profits are anyway, If they end up drstroying it their lifestyle would be in ruins and would pretty much bring all the inhabitants of Oddworld to entire extinction. Just think the storyline through and research the details of each current character in Oddworld over the internet to get a better understanding of how you could make the story better. Not saying it's a bad story, I actually find it a good story just the thing is you gotta keep it within each and every characters lifestyles and behaviours. there are many reasons why certain things never happen in Oddworld, Like how Sligs won't attack Glukkons and take over because Glukkons provide them with a job they enjoy doing and supply them with weaponry and pants/wings. But anyway, I should get back to making stuff for the game hehehe.... http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...um/Fuzzle5.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...um/Fuzzle6.jpg ((EDIT)) I just started making a slig and decided to post it here, messed up the mouth tentacles and I don't even know how I did so.... >_< really annoying, only found that out when I went to take the screenie... hope the textures cover it up http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...lbum/Slig1.jpg |
Bravo oh bravo! This game would be awesome with those 3D cutscenes. just like a real Oddworld game just with different backgrounds and sprites.:D I look forward to when this project is finished.

Sorry Black Venom I forgot to put in the part where the glukkons build a space probe and set off like Fred etc. |
