Enter in to the Oddworld Magizine
 

Hey this is Shadowman, the writer and reporter (meaning I do all the hard work) of the our neighborhood unoffical Oddworld magizine that we distribute to the neighborhood. On our team are several Forum members these being Odd Trusting, Pinkgurllover,and Mudokon Native. I often do not join forums because they take so much time to put in but since I have been a super fan since 1996 (yes that means I was looking into Oddworld before Abe's Oddysee came out, looking into magizines for release dates and such. We (being the creators of the Oddworld mag decided that we should join up with the forums, I was a bit undecided about joining the forums and depriving our time from the Magizine, but I though we could have a mutal bond with the forums. We would post our magizine articles on the forums and you (the members) would give us articles for the Magizine, we both profit. In the magizine we have interviews with some of the characters/creatures of Oddworld, some comics, news updates, and much much more. If any of you think that you have something to contribute tell us by posting here, comics funny sayings interesting news or whatever tell us, you may PM if you do not want it public. Of course you get full credit for it and your member names arn't written on the magizine in tiny print but in large bold print. So please contribute. We will soon have a website that you can visit to drop suggestions and read more in depth information on Oddworld. Your contributions would be always appricated

you could make an article about mine and Fuzzle Guy's movies:)

Or you could make an article about my story of luck with the Pepsi cap! ;)

Yeah, one on our movies, one page could be dedicated to Tims, and one could be dedicated to mine. If your going to, don't put about Spielberg in my movie, because it is not a definate that he will be.

Secondly, do you charge anything for these magazines?

Oh by the the way Odd Trusting was reading this thread about 4 seconds ago, and flew up out of his chair and was yelling something about forgeting to send you CG clips or something like that and went off to his house to send them I think, but yes the movie would make a good section and we are proplely (cause I am going to command it) a Oddlife section in the magizine involving people and there special Oddworld experinces so I will have this issue done suprisingly done before Christmas and may have this issue posted (Consider it my Christmas gift to the fourms)

if you do something about my movie you maby also can internet interview me and kevin (creators of our movie) he is at my home in the weekend
maby on msn but something how other members wont know it till the magazine is created

Sounds like a plan for an interview. This addition on the mag will strike something new into Oddowrld fans. I will update my website and include the movie info too. The website isn't up yet because we need someone to sponcer it and put it on the net, but we think we have found a company who has already given us a discount price (apparently he was quite interested in Oddworld or was a fan) and the website may be up by this weekend.

great news youre website is going to be ONLINE :p

Thanx I will give you detials about it soon. You can use a chat room for the interview or just PM me the specifics.

do you have msn??
and if not which chatroom??

Tim H C:)

PS : KEVIN IS COMMING HERE TOMORROW AROUND 2o clock Dutch time - GMT +1
Maby you can send us the question in a PM or mail and we will PM , mail it back

The PM idea may be the easiest way to do it. That sounds like the clear path. Know that we have that worked out who should I say are the creators of the Oddowrld movie, your member names, your true names, or your member name with brackets with your real name in it. This is going to open some Oddworld fan's eyes, This interview is going to be a great one

Director : Tim H C
Director Of Design : Kevin S
Director Of Art : Rose W

Rose W if you also want to interview her

Alright tommorow PM me when your ready to start (I am on just about all day) and we will get this Interview started then. Is Rose a forum member? If so can can you tell me her account name. Is assume she isn't going to be there tommorow at 2:00 Dutch time. If it would be okay perhaps we could have more interviews after this one, cause I am sure people will be interested on this.

You mean that you would devote a page in nearly every issue for our movies and interviews?

(And Odd Trusting hasn't sent me the clip yet :fuzsad:)

Yup all the way to the finish line each issue, that is if your willing. Last time I checked with OT he was having troble with attachments Fuzzle Guy.

Sorry about the double post but I wanted to show everyone the front page of the ROUGH DRAFT (not final) of this months Oddworld magizine. PLEASE NOTE that this is the rough draft and all it is is the body text, yes we have completely finished our print of our magizines but I will have to upload the final draft version with the cool background, Oddworld fonts, interesting pictures and interesting notions what you are seeing is just the plain old text. so the final front page edition is on its way, but I wanted to give you something to look at while you waited. The final version will be up here soon (and is much cooler). Didn't want to disappoint anyone who just wanted something. :fuzgrin: Also included is the ROUGH picture for the heading. The only problem I encountered was trying to put the final version on here because it would only expect text files only, don't worry though I will find a way to make it work, this is the other reason I used the rough draft version

Great work! It's so refreshing to see members try this stuff :) It's even better to see you've been doing it for so long!

Can't wait the see the finalised version.

Alcar...

The Shadowman,
Bisy with the questions for interview now ^^

PS : Happy Christmas to all of you!!

I haven't been interviewed yet

Fuzzle Guy just finished up the question list, I was just busy with the holiday seasons

Hey guys might if I join up in Oddworld Movie? I do 3D stuff :P

Man, I cannot beleave no one has taken the name Stranger before you! Anyway the people to ask about that would be Fuzzle Guy or Tim H. C.

Your magazine is a cool and refreshing idea. :)
I hope to reading it and seeing more of it in the future.

Hey you guys does anybody know how to get a write format thats not just plain text onto the forums, cause all the other types are not valid formats

I'm guessing you mean attachments. If you do, pdf's work. I'm not sure how you convert word files into pdf documents. But I know it's possible. All you need is Adobe Acrobat and you will be able to do it. I'll look up how to do it an a sec.

Okay thanks, I will await your return, but take as muxh time as you want

I just checked on www.download.com and I searched 'Adobe Acrobat' and I got these results. I havn't checked all of them but the ones I saw you have to pay for but they all had free trials of at least 30 days.

Wow thanks for doing that work for me! I know your good at digital art, ever think about putting some in the magizine, I would be more than happy to do it

Yeah sure, sounds cool. What do you have in mind?

like maybe even do some of our headings and title bars as well as doing picyures of whatever you want fot the fan art section
