How is it possible?
 
Well, I downloaded a clip from Internet. It shows some AE's parts, but there is a curious part of the Main Lobby in FeeCo Depot. I don't know how to explain it, it's strange... so I attach here a screenshot and please comment it!

no, that pic is quite correct, 4 mudokons, 4 wheels hand turning wheels, i dont see anything wrong with that image


EDIT: ohh you mean the bone drill at the top of the image, probably just a glitch, either that or they have hacked the levels

Jordan 06-01-2008 11:43 PM

How can a bone drill be a freaking glitch? It's part of the map.
I've never seen this area in AE, so that must be some sort of beta version.
Looking at this compared to the actual area, maybe the game was much harder before the final release, and more Mudokons were available to rescue?

this belong to OD,

can someone post a screenshot of this place in the final version please?

Wil 06-02-2008 01:05 AM

It would help if you could link to the video in question, abe is now! Then we’d have more context, and hopefully be able to see the nearby screens. This is definitely one I’ve never seen.

I downloaded it long time ago and I don't remember where. I managed to upload it and now I can post a link where you can download it. It's a .asf file. You can use the download link just for 30 days and then you can't... it's all I can do to show you it, sorry :(. http://www.swoopshare.com/file/3b929...oddus.asf.html

Is this some kind of trailer for AE? I don't think I ever saw it...

too bad you don't remember where it is from

abe is now! 06-02-2008 05:12 AM

Sorry, Xavier :(. To be honest, I remembered it just a few days ago!!! I thought I deleted it... Well, we don't know the source, we don't know what it is.

Jordan 06-02-2008 01:02 PM

Here's a picture of the area I was talking about earlier. I just remembered it and it seemed to look a bit like AIN's picture. But now I had a proper look, it doesn't look anything like it. Yeah, so all we know is it's somewhere in FeeCo/Brewery.

I think it's a modified version of the screenshot following this. This one I attached looks like the closed entrance of Rupture Farms, doesn't it?

OddYouko 06-03-2008 07:32 AM

And this is the PC version?
That's so weird.

Oddey 06-03-2008 07:37 AM

I don't get what's wrong with the first screenshot other than the fact that I don't remember it at all.

The second on the other hand... Yeah that's most likely the closed Rupture Farms door. However it's either been edited or it's some kind of beta whatever. Although I don't have a clue how they could have gotten one of those. A mystery that probrably won't be solved...

But if we find the source, we could understand what it is.

I think it's just a beta. It would NOT be that closed door, i think we can be certain. That door isn't even programmed as a door, not even a closed one, and would lead onto a train, which the screenshot isn't.

What I want to know is what exactly that program is it's being run in or whatever.

Wil 06-03-2008 03:19 PM

Well, it says ‘GOM’ in the top left corner. The first result for ‘GOM’ on Google is for a media player of the same name.

DarkHoodness 06-03-2008 05:29 PM

Probably a bit late, but I'll force my opinion down your throats anyway. :P

Abe's Exoddus's levels were made using a sprite set rather than individually, unlike AO. It helped to speed the development process up a bit. It wouldn't suprise me if they took a couple of gameplay vids and screenshots of it while it was in production before they finalised the levels.

Not that big a deal, though. It's certainly not a mystery.

Xavier 06-03-2008 11:25 PM

yeah, it's probably safe to say it's just some work in progress... and nothing too mind blowing either

GOM Player is the program I was using to watch the clip. I saved the screenshot with GOM Player.

I hosted it on TOC as it is exclusive footage;

Aha. That video must be of a beta. Are there more Slogs at the beginning than in the final version of AE?

Yes, there are. I uploaded a part of a walthrough that has been made by Stranger90: you can see that there are two Slogs when Abe comes down, when in the strange beta there are three Slogs! And also in the walkthrough there are three Sloggies but in the beta there are five Sloggies!!! So this is finally an unknown result of a criminal mind.
Here's the link of the walkthrough, I hope you can open it: you can do it just for 30 days!!! http://it.swoopshare.com/file/12ad02...ldaie.avi.html

That video not work on me (Using MS MediaPlayer). Could you chance the filename and upload it again? I suppose that it might help, because the current name have incorrect characters.

mr.odd 06-06-2008 04:21 PM

the first picture I'm not sure what to tell you, the second one is the RF gate only without the sign's.
