Stewart Gilray Interview
Hi guys, I'm Tom Bennett, a video games blogger from Leeds in the UK, and I've just very recently joined the Oddworld Forums - so hey all'ya!
I've just posted a piece on my blog which contains an interview with Stewart Gilray of Just Add Water along with my impressions of the E3 demo. Ever since I played Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus all those years ago, I've been a huge fan of the Oddworld series, and it was a dream to go and see the JAW offices and talk to Stewart about himself, Just Add Water and, of course, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty. A friend of mine suggested that I post the interview on this forum for other Oddworld oddballs (like me) to read, so, without further ado, "Follow me!" http://wp.me/p4E0Ie-75 |
Welcome to the forums :)
|
Cheers Scrabaniac! I wish I'd joined the forums sooner, this is everything an Oddworld fan could need! Thanks for the welcome! :D
|
I know the cynics will say "get to the bloody interview, already" but I'm enjoying the read.
|
Haha! Cheers Holy Sock :D
|
That was a good read :) i'm excited to see this mysterious slig which pays homage to something, as well as the mudokon voice Stewart can't find in the game :P
|
Aw cheers for reading Scrabaniac, I massively appreciate it! :D Yeah me too, I can't wait to get my hands on the game and find them as well :)

Ha. Stew talks about OWF a little bit.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Or Stranger 2 (if there is one)? Sekto survived the first game, so him coming back wouldn't be a surprise, but it'd be cool. |
:
Yeah, intriguing - any ideas on who it might be Holy Sock? :) :
Glukkon queen/Slig queen would be a fantastic inclusion, great shout Mr. Molluck :) |

So they won't be working on Exoddu for at least 3-6 months after release. And it looks as if the New n Tasty money will almost exclusively be going into Oddworld projects?
|
Hopefully they'll port Munch HD in the interregnum.
|
Hey, I'm not fussed. So long as oddworld is in the future of gaming, I am beyond satisfied. JAW has just been so awesome about it all too.

MOD EDIT: Holy Sock was replying to a post that's now been deleted, wherein TB321 had multiposted and people were offering advice on how to fix it.
No problem. This was actually the most interesting interview, about the series, I've read in a while. |

I'm really pleased you like it! It was a real pleasure to interview Stewart, and seeing the team working away in the office was really inspiring too. Like I say, Oddysee and Exoddus were massive milestones for me as a young sunlight-deprived 8 year old gamer, and it was incredibly hard for me to hold back my inner Oddworld fanboy whilst we were talking about the game and seeing it in action :) |
