How big is OWI and what are they currently working on?
 
We know OWI has contracted JAW to make a couple of Oddworld games, but what is OWI working on themselves? I know they downsized in 2005 when they announced to retreat from game development, but how big is the company now and are they capable of working on new products? What about that Citizen Siege game I heard of in the past?

Xavier 12-18-2010 11:08 AM

The guys that were OWI are now OddMobb and they are working on social media stuff... I have no idea how many they are or if this is really relevant.

I hope the game they are working on is Oddworld: Hand of Odd, it will be the first online oddworld game.

I think they cancelled it.

Still, it would be cool if they announced it.

Like many fans. I want them to carry on the Quintology with Munch's Exoddus or Squeek's Oddysee.

Slig_Dude_64 12-19-2010 10:05 AM

I heard about oddworld Munch's Oddysee, it sound kinda odd, (obviously) Munch is runninng to some kinda breeding area for Gabbits when Munch realises that he doesn't have a can opener, so Munch and Abe have another quest, a can opener!? Do they really have those?

Xavier 12-19-2010 10:58 AM

That sounds like something some members of this forum might have made up.

Slig_Dude_64 12-19-2010 12:04 PM

Not really, i searched the Internet cause i heard of Oddworld Munch's Exoddus and what i said was on lots of the things it showed. The breeding area is called Ma Spa (as shown, you can even see munch at the bottom) http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...s/6/60/X23.jpg

Nate 12-19-2010 12:10 PM

Yeah, Ma'Spa is real. Xav was talking about the part where Munch needs a can opener for a can that clearly has a ring-pull top.

STM 12-19-2010 12:28 PM

Slig_Dude he had the can opener, but not the can, so they went on some overly enormous quest for it.

Nate 12-19-2010 12:34 PM

Please stop making shit up, Scrabtrapman.

STM 12-19-2010 12:39 PM

You generally have a serious problem with anything I say don't you nate ;)

Nate 12-19-2010 12:45 PM

Only when you're full of shit. So, yes.

STM 12-19-2010 01:00 PM

NTS: *Ugh, don't feed the trolls

Sekto Springs 12-19-2010 06:28 PM

Nate's not a troll. You're just a retard.

Sorry but actually it doesn't... or it's on the bottom.

Nate 12-20-2010 02:03 AM

You can see it from the bottom in the auction FMV and there's no ringpull there.

Wierd. My mental image of the can is totally wrong.

Gilrod 12-20-2010 02:18 AM

For obvious reasons I can't go into details, but on the cards currently are ...

4 projects :) NOT including anything Stranger related

STM 12-20-2010 03:07 AM

Nate...not that this makes me any less retarded but...I'm right no?

@Gilrod - 4 projects??? Oddworld related ones? Wo!

Xavier 12-20-2010 03:18 AM

Looks like Oddworld's future is in good dynamic hands.

If you can provide sources backing up what you said, sure. Otherwise, have a nice big cup of shut the fuck up.

Search for "opener".

Nate 12-20-2010 04:41 AM

That's not an official press release on the plot of ME though.

Also not actually confirming what Scrabtrapman was saying. Quite the opposite.

STM 12-20-2010 04:41 AM

I'll just take the steaming stfu, it tastes nicer.

Paradigm 12-20-2010 05:07 AM

I thought JAW were working on a 2.5D Oddworld game?

Or has it all been debunked?

Xavier 12-20-2010 05:40 AM

They can work on more that one project... Actually they just told us they were working on 4 projects (Stranger not included)

Wil 12-20-2010 05:45 AM

A 2.5D game has never been confirmed as one of the projects.

I can't believe how many opinions there can possibly be regarding how you open a can of Gabbiar!

Slig_Dude_64 12-20-2010 09:46 AM

You know what's odd, in the auction house for the last can of Gabbiar, when the Vycker came and announced that it was beginning, All of the Gluckons, Vyckers and/or sligs were clapping! How doo gluckons clap!? Most of the things in the auction house were Gluckons! How do the clap!?

Slig_Dude_64 12-20-2010 09:48 AM

Oops, i just noticed we aren't talking about the can of Gabbiar anymore!

Maybe they have their Sligs clap for them?

Nate 12-20-2010 04:41 PM

From Dear Alf #22:
:

Q: I forgot to mention in my other letter, in Munch's Odysee, the good ending, When Lulu is betting or about to, a lot of clapping is going on. I understand they wanna clap but how!? Glukkons dont have arms and the Vykkers looked to be less then 1/3 of the bidders. Alright then... good luck with your tea.

Alf: Not entirely true. Though shamefully tiny, useless and hidden, Glukkons DO have arms and hands. Also, Vykkers have double the appendages of the average Inhabitant, AND they are fierce clappers. But you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they invented some sort of clapping amplifier to make others believe that they are even better at it than they really are. Showoffs!!!

Slig_Dude_64 12-21-2010 09:18 AM

no Andrelvis, there was one slig i saw, andd that was Lulu's slig, snd i dont think he was clapping.
