The Lost Archives!
 
OWI posted two images saying "What was lost" - "Has been found":







This might be lots of things: A new trailer, more image content, another phase of the ARG... I think it might be the second one.
Any thoughts? :fuzconf:

Maybe whatever happened to that one mud? I remember everyone freaking out for a while in the ARG because they thought they killed someone.

Maybe you're talking about asset 99 (or 98 not sure), who was killed because someone used "hard" ways to find clues.

He IS dead, dead and done. Unless..
he was just... Lost! *dun dun duuun*

Nah, Im pretty sure we killed him.

Whatever it is, I'm hyped to see what "secret stuff" they reveal:fuzgrin:

Maybe...I just wonder what the "Lost" part means...

Its referring to the game play footage they lost at the EGX convention. :p

Well...whatever it is, at least we only have to wait 3 more days before we see it. It's not that long of a wait.

Hype?

Michael 12-02-2017 03:41 AM

Interesting. I agree it seems like merchandise, I feel like some game footage would have a more serious tone to it. Design wise, this feels more like t-shirts or something. Then again, OWI usually tag the manufacturer in their merchandise posts, so who knows? Look forward to seeing what it is :)

Xorlidyr 12-02-2017 02:22 PM

The Mudokon was killed - why freak out? Have not you killed a ton of them before, anyway?

Just got the update! It's unreleased artwork we're gonna get every weekend until Soulstorm's release.

This poor tortured rabbit is either Munch or Squeek, I think :) Most cruel artwork of Oddworld I've seen till today.
Looks like artist seriously hated Bugs Bunny... whait a minute, 1996??? Do not tell me this is Abe, I'll get a heart attack then!

Very likely Squeek since he was inspired by bunnies who got experimented on to perfect products in labs.

:

"THE IDEA WAS THAT THE VYKKERS, WHO WERE ANIMAL RESEARCHERS THAT WOULD KILL A MILLION BUNNIES JUST TO MAKE A BETTER FABRIC SOFTENER, HAD BEEN MAKING ROBOTIC LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES BECAUSE SO THEY COULD REPOSSESS PEOPLE’S BODY PARTS LIKE HOW YOU’D GET EVICTED. THEY’D STICK WHAT WAS LEFT OF YOU IN THIS CLUNKY ROBOTIC FORM AND TOSSED YOU OUT ON THE STREET. THAT’S WHO SQUEEK WAS BUT WHO HE REALLY WAS WOULD COME OUT IN THE STORY."

True, but was Squeek in development at that time? It's even before relise of 1st game.

It's likely the Quintology arc was planned to some extent prior to work beginning on the first part, AO.

They also announced via the website that in addition to the lost archives (Lorne mentioned in passing at EGX that there could be a second, more widely available art book on the way), they also found the original AO source code. The site post says they'll 'have more to talk about on this in due course'.

Seems to imply they intend to do something with it?

Auriel 12-04-2017 03:20 PM

whoa actual Squeek concept art...am i dreaming

Xavier 12-04-2017 09:33 PM

Looks more like early concepts of Munch to me.

Would be very surprised if they decided to reveal Squeek concept art like that out of the blue.

I've created a dedicated section on TOGG for the Lost Archives.

http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...?/category/120

Will make sure to keep it up to date with the new/old art :D

Absolutely :)

If you bring the original PS1 AO to the PS4 I will fucking die.

Xavier 12-05-2017 01:44 AM

If at all possible I would love to have a quicksave feature in AO :D

I'll bet you would.

I'd like health birds in AO, if that's not a problem ;)

Then it is in all probability Munch, because he has an antenna in his head.
