The Lost Archives!
OWI posted two images saying "What was lost" - "Has been found":
This might be lots of things: A new trailer, more image content, another phase of the ARG... I think it might be the second one. Any thoughts? :fuzconf: |
Maybe whatever happened to that one mud? I remember everyone freaking out for a while in the ARG because they thought they killed someone.

he was just... Lost! *dun dun duuun* Nah, Im pretty sure we killed him. Whatever it is, I'm hyped to see what "secret stuff" they reveal:fuzgrin: |
My Remix has been found??
THANK YOU OWI!! |

Something tells me its going to be merchandise. Maybe signs or art. Hopefully promotional art for SS.

Maybe...I just wonder what the "Lost" part means... |

Hype?
|
Interesting. I agree it seems like merchandise, I feel like some game footage would have a more serious tone to it. Design wise, this feels more like t-shirts or something. Then again, OWI usually tag the manufacturer in their merchandise posts, so who knows? Look forward to seeing what it is :)

The Mudokon was killed - why freak out? Have not you killed a ton of them before, anyway?

Just got the update! It's unreleased artwork we're gonna get every weekend until Soulstorm's release.

This poor tortured rabbit is either Munch or Squeek, I think :) Most cruel artwork of Oddworld I've seen till today.
Looks like artist seriously hated Bugs Bunny... whait a minute, 1996??? Do not tell me this is Abe, I'll get a heart attack then! |

It's likely the Quintology arc was planned to some extent prior to work beginning on the first part, AO.
They also announced via the website that in addition to the lost archives (Lorne mentioned in passing at EGX that there could be a second, more widely available art book on the way), they also found the original AO source code. The site post says they'll 'have more to talk about on this in due course'. Seems to imply they intend to do something with it? |
whoa actual Squeek concept art...am i dreaming
|
Looks more like early concepts of Munch to me.
Would be very surprised if they decided to reveal Squeek concept art like that out of the blue. |

I've created a dedicated section on TOGG for the Lost Archives.
http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...?/category/120 Will make sure to keep it up to date with the new/old art :D |

If at all possible I would love to have a quicksave feature in AO :D

I'd like health birds in AO, if that's not a problem ;)

Ok so let's speculate that an 'Abe HD' could be on the way. AO assets were designed for 4:3 so I'm assuming that an HD rerelease couldn't fit 16:9 without being stretched?
As far as the source code being found, would this include original 3D assets, animations etc in order to re-render the old FMVs, sprites and artwork at much higher resolution? Or is this all separate from the source code? I'm not 100% on the technical definition! |

Next image is out. It's clearly Munch, but in this concept, he was a Frankenstein-esque monster created by the Vykkers. Interesting. :
|
Well would you look at these! This is all interesting!
I guess these images are lost archives that didn't do it to the Art Book. This is great, I'm looking forward for more. :

@OWI_Alex if you do plan on doing anything with AO/AE sourcecode, if ur wanting to fix bugs u can come ask the speedrunning community about them because we've discovered lots in all our gameplaying, along with theories for what causes them... an upscaling of the originals would be a dream come true for many of us :fuzgrin:
... and as someone said above somewhere, modern controller support is a must! we're currently having to use gamepad-to-keyboard mapping software to play the game (unless we use keyboard controls :fuzsad: ) |
