i know what you all are thinking."how the hell could that be squeek!"

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Job McYossie 07-26-2014 02:28 PM

Quite possibly. The American military looking star makes me think otherwise though.

Jbot123 07-26-2014 03:07 PM

That was already on TOGG.

so what? i personally think its squeek.

Slog Bait 07-26-2014 05:32 PM

TOGG stands for "The Oddworld Graphics Gallery". It's a compilation of every piece of concept art, graphic, model, trailer, misc that's come out of OWI that we've found in some way or another.

The fact that that's up in TOGG means that a majority of us are already aware of the concept art's existence.

You can also assume that Squeek and his design has been discussed at some time or another considering how long this forum's been around.

Despite all of the above, I hadn't actually seen the concept art yet, and yep that looks exactly like I was imagining when I read that interview.

when i first saw that artwork i thought it was an enemy in fangus klot. but after i read that interview i realized that i was possibly looking at squeek.

Phylum 07-26-2014 06:54 PM

I have never seen the picture before. That Squeak interview is recent. I have never seen any pictures backing up discussion around Squeak.

Are you implying that he shouldn't have posted this SB? Because that's definitely how your post comes across.

Slog Bait 07-26-2014 07:07 PM

No, I was explaining why Jbot possibly said what he said.

I then followed it up by saying I hadn't seen the concept art. I'm glad he posted it, because I would have missed it otherwise.

I didn't get that feeling at all. It seemed more like SB was explaining what a previous poster meant and commenting on the new concept art.

HOMINIX 07-26-2014 09:29 PM

Looks in line with the concept I've read about in interviews! Big hopes for Squeek! Hopefully all the protagonists will be guided by Abe on their way to Gnarlybebb. I'll miss Abe otherwise. I could also do with a well made, 3D Munch's Exoddus if they ever decide to explore Munch's journey to repopulate the Gabbits!

Havoc 07-27-2014 04:45 AM

To be honest this looks like an even worse and even more annoying protagonist than Munch.

Varrok 07-27-2014 05:05 AM

...you're annoyed by the way it looks?

STM 07-27-2014 09:14 AM

Huh, I never made that connection before but maybe...?

Holy Sock 07-27-2014 09:34 AM

What did everyone think it was before we got this info? (i haven't seen this before)

MeechMunchie 07-27-2014 10:23 AM

I think JBot was merely pointing out that Bigfoot might have been overcrediting himself by saying he "found" the concept art, considering it was already archived by Xavier.

As for the art, I think it's pretty cool. Before this I was basically imagining a robot hobo, with a bindle and rotting hat.

Holy Sock 07-27-2014 10:38 AM

No offense to Xavier though, TOGG is a great resource, but it's not an archive that is widely known. So unless BigFoot got it from there I could see why he'd be excited thinking he stumbled upon something.

He certainly made a connection that I don't think any of us have (if it's true)

Well yeah, I guess I am. It's pushing the 'little guy fighting the system' concept too far for my tastes. I never cared for Munch and his wheelchair much and this is even worse.

I'm actually not a big fan of introducing 5 different protagonists all together. I'd much rather see pure continuations of Abe's story, with Abe remaining the lead character. But that's a different matter.

Slog Bait 07-27-2014 12:02 PM

Controlling 5 different characters by the end of the series always sounded a little overboard to me, but honestly the only reason I'm okay with it is the addition of new creatures.

I'm not sure if it still holds true but I'm really bummed out none of the pre existing creatures will ever have a protagonist if they didn't already. You would think with the fucked up backstory of the sligs there would be some kind of revolution there, too, (something that far exceeds the concept of Sligstorm) or at least one type of "industrialized" species taking the protagonists' side.

Manco 07-27-2014 12:05 PM

A theory that I’ve always thought sounded neat was the idea that Molluck would end up being one of the five protagonists after his trial.

Slog Bait 07-27-2014 12:19 PM

That would be a fantastic turn of events if not for the great irony of it.

Crashpunk 07-27-2014 01:58 PM

I'm pretty sure I've seen that before, and that it's just some misc concept art which isn't from any Oddworld game, but I could be wrong.

I'm awaiting Wil's reaction to this post.

Squeek

Very informative. Thank you.

Wil 07-27-2014 03:17 PM

Can't stand seeing you guys so in the dark.

Slog Bait 07-27-2014 04:30 PM

What would we do without you

I once asked Lorne about that. He changed the subject.
