Oddworldian is Back!
 
I never thought I'd say it, but Oddworldian has returned with a brand new look and angle!

I was looking through General Discussion and saw all the new Oddworld art that had been released and missed the old times. I toyed with a design for a potential new Oddworldian and came up with what you'll see if you follow the link. This version wont be much of a news site, but rather aims to be a general Oddworld Handbook. It focuses on the art and mythology of Oddworld as opposed to the actual games. The reason for this is that a news site is simply too time-consuming - consuming time that I don't have. So this new project will allow me to balance the fulfilling hobby of running a website with uni and other aspects of life.

Thanks a bunch to Justin (Pilot) for granting me some space on his server. It's good to be back! The new address is:

Yay! *starts a conga-line around General in celebration*

Hehe, I like the "Oddlets" section... *wants to join in* As now I don't have any insane theories to expound apart from the trees one, I'll see if I can find it...

Aha, here it is... Thingy (Eh, ignore my rant at the top... ;) :rolleyes: *pokes the icon so it works properly*)

*does adoring puppy eyes* Linky to me too? I'll, eh... do your washing up?

sweet!
 
Yay this is great! Oddworldien is back in business!:fuzblink: ;) :) :D :smokin: I like this new version you can put a lot of interesting facts in it. Desputes that have been dicussed here can be answered now in Oddworldian! cool!:) Like the new look too.:D

Xavier 04-05-2002 10:25 AM

YES!
My favourite oddworld site is back
Big news to do

Sydney 04-05-2002 10:27 AM

Teal: Great! A fan theory already! I included Fan Theories in the Oddlets section as I knew heaps of people like to postulate about Odd. I'll certainly add your page to my links - the dishes are in the sink. ;)

Paramiteabe: I'm glad you like it! :)

Xavier: Thanks!

Another thing I might add is that the guestbook isn't working at the moment. All the old entries have also been destroyed.

Xavier 04-05-2002 10:36 AM

Sydney: Thanx to put me in the links...
the Gabbit devlopment is amasing... how did you do that ? :eek:

edit: I just readed the note
:

Note: Much is unknown about the Gabbit,
as such some of the details in this feature
were fabricated. Do not consider this feature
in its entirety as accurate Oddworldian biology.
nice imagination I tought it was official !

Teal 04-05-2002 10:42 AM

*wash wash...* ;)

hé nice... Sydney have the info
And If you want the news go here:
http://www.oddworld.au.com/
or here:
http://oddworldmaniac.free.fr (<=mine, only in french AT THE MOMENT)

we don't need thousand of News site ( mine is good enough :D ). But informations sites for the new fans of Oddworld, who discover Oddworld with MO and don't know AO or AE.

So I say: good job this will be an usefull site

mitsur 04-05-2002 11:57 AM

Yay!The site where I first came here is back!!!!!!!*Makes a HUGE party with everything*Party!

Fazerina 04-05-2002 12:54 PM

I'm happy too about your site being back. :D It looks cooler than ever!

Xavier 04-05-2002 02:29 PM

Sydney...
can you post my théory About the queens ?

:

Godd said the first day: I will make oddworld
He made it.
It was a beautiful place.
Then he created life: it was fun but died...
Godd was realy busy and didn't have the time to make a new life when one died, so he made Queens (life makers) and put some Queens on each continent...
He liked sometimes one Queen more than an other so he reproduced it many times.
They had one mission: make lives and when the Queen is to die, make an other one.

The Queens were friends long time ago. But then came some rivalities and associations and some Queens made wars with they kids. Godd saw it and was very angry: Killing Lives is BAD! So they stopped making war, but the conflicts were still there.

Now, the Queens kids still hate each other and the associations between the Queens and their kid still hold.
It's not a FanFiction

that will be a LOT.
Anyway Sydney you have an important fan for your site: Alf

MojoMan220 04-05-2002 05:55 PM

Hurrah!!:D :D

Wil 04-05-2002 05:58 PM

That's super, Sydney. I enjoyed your image-provoking Featured Creature. I site all about Oddworld rather than the games is what I'm aiming for with my website.

You should be especially pleased to have the support of Davi...I mean Ralph. No, Alf.

Oddsville 04-05-2002 06:25 PM

Wow Sydney this is excellent, your site is great and I love the Creature Feature thing. I was woundering though, could you tell me what kinda program you use to edit images into what you like, because I would really like to do that with my site and actually make it look like a good site?:fuzsmile:

Lantra 04-05-2002 10:33 PM

great to have the mother site back in business:)

i especially liked the creature feature does this mean u will have a different creature every week/month?

Danny 04-06-2002 12:21 AM

Nice site...

This is just idle curiosity, but would you like to feature my ideas for the "Great Forest" that I posted a while back? It's not so much a Theory as an Idea, but I just wondered if you wanted it...

oddguy 999 04-06-2002 01:33 AM

Awsome site... Very nice layout... You have done yet again a great job of Oddworldain... :) :) :)

The Shrink 04-06-2002 03:35 AM

Oh great! Oddworldian, the best site ever has returned!!!! I'm so very there!!

moodokon man 04-06-2002 11:11 AM

yea baby
 
I always hoped you would say that again! welcom back its good ta have ya baby:D

Sydney 04-06-2002 11:40 AM

Thanks for the warm reception.

Xavier, thank you for the theory, I'll be sure to add it.

Alf, I always loved Oddworld for its rich art and history. I couldn't just stand by while my site was in ruins. I'm glad to be back! Howz about adding me back into the fan links at Oddworld.com? Pleeze? ;)

Oddsville, I use Adobe Photoshop 6, which is quite a good program. It allowed me to do the nifty text effects.

Danny, I'd be glad to add your "Great Forest" ideas. Just point me towards it and I'll post it.

On another note, the guestbook is now working. Thanks Abe Babe & Justin for helping me get that sorted out. All the old entries were destroyed so I'd be overjoyed if it started filling up again.

Oddsville 04-06-2002 02:04 PM

thanks
 
Thanks for the info Sydney, I'll go try that out. Mabye after awhile I can get my site looking as good as yours, Abe Babes, Xaivers, and Oddbodds (my four favorite sites).:fuzsmile:

Xavier 04-06-2002 03:01 PM

Sydney: thanx to add it!

Oddsville: My name is Xavier, not Xaiver :)
thanx for counting oddworld newsin your favourites sites

Al the Vykker 04-07-2002 08:23 PM

Thank the great lord! Your site was where I always looked everyday after school, thank you for brining it back!:D

Lampion 04-08-2002 04:09 AM

Great job with the new layout, Sydney. Oddworldian has always been the excellence pattern for Oddworld fan sites. Any site that achieves half the beauty of yours is already an award winner.

dumboddrw2 04-08-2002 09:34 AM

Finally! Nice new site. :) :) :) :)

Xavier 04-08-2002 05:38 PM
