Oddworld Online... ...?
 
I may have just thought this up in my mind...and created my own false memories without realising...but did I hear somewhere, a long time ago that there might be an online Oddworld game? Y'know with lots of people all working as individual characters? (and I dont mean Hand of Odd btw). Maybe its just something I thought sounded cool, and thought I saw something about it... anyone else heard anything about this? Or is it all a figment of my imagination? :fuzconf:

BTW: FF Online, if it comes out in England, will ROCK!

There was a planned Oddworld online animated series, proposed during the approach of Munch's Oddysee, but that disappeared without a trace. The company that was going to do the work shut down, I think.

EDIT: I found the official website, though there's obviously nothing to look at now. It first appeared in May 2000.

it was meant to be made by Eruptor, but it's death now... sadly

Erm, I meant a game, not an animated series

hmmmmm something was planned, Loren would like to do something like that
but, not directly... perhaps Hand of Odd will be what you want ;)

I suggest you to go here if you want to know more about Hand Of Odd:

Heh, I forgot to mention in my first post that I had never heard of such a thing, and the Animated Series is just the closest thing I could think you could be thinking about.

But having thought about it a bit more, there was a game going to appear on Oddworld.com when it was still run by GT Interactive (i.e. just before the long-term 'Coming soon' that preceded Munch's Oddysee), called 'Playing the Odds'.
