hand of odd
i know that hand of odd is still being considered, but i know that the next game is supposed to be something entirely new. Just how many games could they realistically have in production at once? i doubt they could manage more than two or three. Just how big is the staff at OWI?
Yep thats my question- |
I doubt Oddworld are working on more than two games. I believe that the best thing to do would be to work 95% on the current development title, and spend that other 5% on the next title. So that if the current development title needs to be intergrated storywise with the next, they can do it easier.
Rather than make up the next storyline from scratch, and try to make it fit in with the previous game. Alcar... |
I think we would be suprised if we really new how many projects they are working on at once.
* OW4 * hand of odd * squeek's oddysee * munch's exoddus * movies * merchandising *... they have to be very organised to handle it all :eek: |
They have loads of seperate design and development departments...

Oddipus, you forgot SligStorm, alf "said" it wasn't totally canceled
|
i always thought the next game would revolve around sam, kintos, khanzumerz, etc. but whattu i know!?:fuzblink:

I don't know about you, but I have noticed something, and its a bit of a giveaway (to me at least). Mudos is only a small island on Oddworld, compared with the rest of the planet. Perhaps there will be another series of games set on Oddworld but on a different continent? A better place to discuss this would be my thread "If you could make an Oddworld game, what would it be like?". The only problem is, you can't really speculate about this sort of thing, because there have been no such plans released yet. The only thing we can do is merely imagine what will be next...
But its fun to imagine, I personally think that mudos is just an island where mud slaves and sligs come from, and its where the Magog have all their factories... Reese |
Not just the quintology
As it said in the Exoddus manual, each of the 5 games will have at least ONE bonus game.
And what ever happened to the habitales and feirytales??? There's a hell of a lot of Odd to be developed... |
Yes, the "extra" games result in a total of 10 games, a re-assuringly long run. Just 7 more to go! Who could begin to think what these games will involve? Its an exiting new world all right!

Sounds like that would be better on PC actually, most strategy games are...
I once thought up a strategy game involving Glukkon empires where you could place FeeCo Depots, lay railways (or should I say suspend!), construct factories and maintain them, build add ons to your facilities, manage income and worker pay, choose whether or not to place vending machines in your factories, hire sligs, capture workers from their native homes, customise products, splash out on ad campeigns, breed and process animals and capture renegade employees... It was a good game idea but I don't really have what it takes to make all the graphics for it... Reese |
hand of odd...that title always made me think of abe's moon seeing the huge mudokon hand shaped crater on it's face but apparentely that has nothing to do with the game...or does it? hmmm that's something to think about:fuzwink:
|
Not just stratagy
:
The only exeption would be beat-em-up's played without a joypad. As for AO, it wasn't changed for PC use, it still says "Press X" |
well, if you do so... and press on X it will work you know:fuzwink:
|
hand of odd.....hmmm....squeeks oddysee...munch's exoddus....squeeks exoddus.......grrrrrr....that's more than five if you include the first 3....according to lorne they may need to increase the number of games in the series to meet demands
|
ahum the quintology was supposed to be:
1 Abe's Oddysee 2 Munch's Oddysee 3 Squeeks Oddysee 4 ?Nod?'s Oddysee 5 ?????'s Oddysee Abe's Exoddus (& SligStorm) are Abe Bonus Games Munch's Exoddus is Munch Bonus game Hand of odd is from an othe serie (the habitales) hope it clears up |
Screw this. I am not going to take part in a debate over some speculation...

I know Xav. I am talking about the rest of it...
Speculation central isn't my stop... Reese |
Let us not forget that there isn't just going to be one bonus game for each part of the Quintology, Lorne and Alf said themselves that its extreemly possible that there will be more than one bonus game for each main game. Particularly Munch's character. I know that Lorne has alot of story ideas planned for him. Aside from that here's my list of possible games....
Quintology Tittles- Abe's Oddysee Abe's Exoddus Munch's Oddysee (Munch's bonus games) Oddworld 4 (This is supposedly a side story to the Quintology so there's a chance at more.) Squeek's Oddysee (Squeek's bonus games) Nod's Oddysee (rummored to be the fourth character) (Nod's bonus games) Other Quintology storys, etc- The Habitales series (not yet determinded) The Fearitales series (not yet determinded) Sligstorm Then theres the Movie (which'll probably be awile) etc. |
Oddville... wasn't SligStorm supposed to be a Abe Bonus game
plus I think you forgot Hand Of ODD |
I still don't see the point in this disscussion. Yeah, blah blah blah, it would be nice if, blah blah blah...
All we can do is cross our fingers and hope that MO wasn't the bad omen that the little voice in the back of our head told us it was. Reese |
My god I did forget Hand of Odd! Thankye Xav!:fuzwink:
As for Sligstorm well that was a seperate game that just was going to come with a certain version of AO, but I forgot which. |
Ok the quintology is five part game series consisting each with a bonus game or more than one. The depths of the odd we only discovered very little so far. Each game shows more about the strange and exciting reality of Oddworld and its veried inhabitants. Each game introduces us to a new species or race of beings at the bottom of the food chain struggleing to survive. Each game has its hero who have their individual destanys in life and most importantly individual problems but each hero of the quintology is connected in a very odd way. What that is we don't know.
I have a feeling that everything we have thought up thus far based on our knowledge and facts that a lot of it is just all hype to throw us off on the real Oddworld that we are about to see. I don't know thats just my impression on OWI and how they are acting the way they are. They are very secretive and we don't know anything. But they are extremely excited about up comming titles for Oddworld. Why? That is exciting. |

This whole disscussion is pointless, its going to become obsolete once the new game is released. Now I understand that this is a pretty big part of the Oddworld discussions, but there isn't alot to talk about. All we know about for sure is what PA said. That there is a quintology of "Oddysee" titles, and each Oddysee title will have a bonus game that will be a development on its original. As I said before, all we can do is hope for the best.

Reese, knowone's forcing you to post here. There isn't to much to talk about at the moment so were just speculating about the future. To me, I think this is a great discussion as composed to some of the other topics in GD.
|
Oh please, don't start with the "no ones forcing you to" routine, I have had that before. Do I give you the impression that I think I am being forced to post here? Because if I am then thats not whats intended. Post what you like, I am not stopping you, I am merely telling you that there are plenty of other things to talk about than "whats up next". And I might add, these other things are a more interesting than this by a longshot. I am now removing my self from the subscription to this forum. Please do not post anything to do with me if it is negative, or if its implying that what I have done or said here is wrong. I will not be around to defend myself so you will just be making statements out of COWARDICE if you do.
Thankyou Reese |
Hi,
Okay - I'm very behind the current situation here and I missed a lot of informations about Oddworld, I think so, but when will the next game come out? I'm addicted to play the games of Oddworld. I have to have the new game. I'm getting crazy! Sorry for my small dropout. I just can't wait for the next one. - Alector P.s: Please try to answer the question... ^_^ |
glad to see you alector
according to the FAQ of the official site The specific release date for our fourth game has yet to be finalized, but we're on track for a fourth quarther release in 2003 or early 2004. We hope to announce a specific date by May 2003. |
Reese, Reese, Reese. I was not trying to agrivate you in any way. I was just stating a point. First off you start by saying...
:
:
My point is that if you don't think you should post here....good for you. There is no point in continuosly complaining that this topic is is irrelevent and pointless. Take what you said in the first quote and do it! Theres no use in continuosly posting a reply just to say that you don't not agree or find this topic interesting, its just a waste of mine and the others time. Now you have not only done this here but in other topics aswell. In one topic by Sligslinger you posted just to state that you thought it be closed, when Xav came to say he had things undercontroll. My point is that you seem to love to state your "athuority" alot when your "athuority" is not wanted nor needed. We have great Admins and Mod's here to handle that. If you don't want to post here then say it and don't again, do not keep re implying it. Now that I've got that off my chest, please continue to post... |
I don't have anything to say to except that most of it is utter rubbish.
No, all of it is a load of shit. Thats more like it. If we are going to be honest here, why not make it brutal? Now, as for "athuority" as you spell it, your right, I don't have any "authority" as such. But your not the judge of whether what I do is helpful or not. Let the mods decide that. As for the rest of what you said, well if you don't like it then piss off. I will do what ever the hell I want here, and if what I do is bad or against the rules, then you wont be the one to deal with it, the mods and admins will. Please take note of the fact that I am the fastest member to ever get a custom rank like that, and I have the highest post rate in the forum. :D I am making a MASSIVE contribution here, mainly because I think that this is one of the few forums that are actually worth it. All you are doing is trying to slow me dow. Probably because your jealous, but I am not going to back that up and be all big headed.:D Now, you have done a good job of quoting me, well done, you know how to work vB script. But perhaps you ought to read between the lines a little, and take a look at what everyone else has said to make me say what I did, I am not just talking to myself here! Now, even though that thread by sligslinger contains posts in there by me, asking for it to be closed, if the mods dissagreed with that course of action, they would not have closed it. So I don't beleive that you should be the one to tell me that I was doing something wrong there. I have said this before, that post appeared on top of the other posts for me, because I had not read it yet, and it was the newest post on the forum at the time, but Xavier had already posted in it, so to him, it appeared quite low down, and when I posted in there, suggesting that the thread be closed (because that thread had outlived its purpose already), it moved itself to the top again. That is what Xavier was referring to. I also suggested that Sligslinger ask further questions of that nature in the Picture Request section. Now if you dissagree with what I do, then make a complaint like everybody else (not that anyone has complained about me). But as far as I can tell, pointing out a couple of rules to a newbie, and requesting that the thread be closed is not grounds for you to now have any reason to be talking to me like this. Especially if the author of that thread agreed to have the thread closed, and the mod then closed it. Now, this argument ends. I haven't done anything wrong as far as I can see, and nobody else has made any complaints about it. The only person whinging about anything I do, is you. This is the wrong place to disscuss it, if you want an argument, or a place to talk about how much you hate me, then do it elsewhere. You are getting very overworked on this whole situation. I am posting my opinion on this discussion, if you don't like that opinion then quietly and clamly disagree with it. I didn't say that I would be leaving until my very last post. When I said "screw this", Xavier replied, and I responded by telling him why I said this. Then as usual, you had to go and say something rude or "mr. big" so that you could kick up a fuss. And I was forced to respond, otherwise your ignorant comment would have just sat there making me look like I was wrong to do what I did. Now please, will you leave me alone. Unless your a mod or an admin, you don't have any right to tell me what to do. I request that this post, and the post by Oddsville be deleted from this thread, so that further posts on this thread can remain "on topic". Thankyou Reese |
Lol, Reese I do like you and I never said that you didn't contribute to these forums but you have tee'd me off latley. Now you go about saying...

Reese, in no way am I even close to being jelous of you (don't make me laugh) but I do respect you (to a certain degree) and if you would like to continue this argument in a PM then please feel free to do so... |
*sigh*
I'll have to add this to the pile of "When good threads go bad" list. I think the most important thing in life is to understand that everyone has their own opinions. No matter what you do, you can not change a persons opinion unless that person freely accepts to have it changed or influenced by another. If a person doesn't like a thread, simply don't reply. Because there will be others that do like the thread. And in their opinion, it's a good thread. *closes* Alcar... |
