I remember a topic a while ago where people said that a certain image was a early image of a meetle, because it said down the bottom of the image.

This image:

And notice at the bottom where it says "Meetle".

Well, i've been looking over Women Gamers, and was looking very closely at the images their. And I noticed that the same image also, had underneith it a label that looks very like that of "Chroniclers".

This image:

Notice at the very bottom there is a thin strip, a label. If you look closely you can see a CHR ??? CL ??.

Also, just wondering, has someone already picked up on this?

look at this

plus the chronicler sign is for the creature next to this one... :fuzwink:

Alcar 09-29-2002 07:54 AM

Meetles, 1%ers and Chroniclers. Am I mistaken or are there two different creatures there, that look the same, but you can tell them apart from the legs?

Alcar...

Xavier 09-29-2002 08:13 AM

no you are right, here are 2 different creatures...
and a klinto after Abe

Actually the wording at the bottom of the page that Peter posted looks more like "Character" or "Characters" to me.

Although Xavier's image clearly shows 1%ers.

I saw this 1%ers on my first visit to Oddworld. I honestly was not told anything about them, and if I did I signed an agreement not allowing me to say anything. It is not until now I see this image that I even mention I have heard that name in the past. But I am wondering why all of these gaming companies are allowed to take photos and publish all of this so called information that I was told was not meant to be publicly released (I've seen other such things on links and other images Xavier has found). I'm guessing there's always a time for something to become released.

Abe Babe...

Alcar 09-29-2002 08:34 AM

Hmmm, could be right! They both have the same letters at the begginning, oh so confusing!

For some reason that other "thing" next to the "meetle/1%ers" reminds me of the Necrum Guardian, or something similar to a walrus with long tusks.

You right Xavier, yeah it is a Kinto next to them! If we didn't know what they were already then we'd have you to thank for many more possibilities and threads about them! :)

I often wondered why all these images came out from companies, and not OWI.

Wil 09-29-2002 12:53 PM

What's Skillya? We have had no picture of Skillya.

This is a Kinto:

They were once used as personal slaves to Maggie (I think is what Xavier said), but we have never seen Skillya.

I think you're refering to the lateral blueprint of one of those things.

brewmaster 09-29-2002 03:36 PM

who said they will be in the next game? it's just concept art

Wil 09-29-2002 04:04 PM

Oh yeah. When I looked at the Flying 1%er earlier I though I recognised a B. Not close enough, I suppose. But looking at it, I can see that it's one 'leg' is actually its tail.

Thought: What if that ain't a 1, it's an I? The % could be used to block the name they've given this thing.

what do you mean?

I wonder how the flying machine works...

sO fReAkIn oDd 09-29-2002 04:10 PM

I think they are using the term "1%" to say that they dont have a name for that paticular creature yet. Personally, I think that creature is its own specific species, and it's going to be a kind of bottom class/criminal type in the cities of Oddworld.

Xavier 09-29-2002 04:14 PM

yes probably... some killers?
intresting, some inteligent killers, can be deadly

Alcar 09-29-2002 09:44 PM

I noticed an 'F' at the begginning of the other label, and immediately though 'Flying' but I didn't think it would be a flying 1%er.

Hey, what about, how Meetles can fly?

Could the 1%ers been early Mugs, and the Flying 1%ers been early Meetles? After all they are connected in a way.

Now we just need to find a Baby 1%er! (Larvae)

Alcar...

Jacob 09-29-2002 10:00 PM

What 1%er!? I cant see anything. The pic has a little cross innit and its annoying.

This amused me...For some strange and sad reason

Xavier 09-30-2002 01:51 PM

I'm pretty sure they are flying 1%ers you know... it's the same systhem as the sligs, so it's logic

Jacob, glad it amused you:fuzwink:

They use their wings, or they inflate themselves.

If this was an early Mug, I think the Flying 1%er would just be a Meetle in a flying contraption, not a Meetle.

dripik 09-30-2002 04:45 PM

That creature reminds me a slig. Maybe the mechanical pants and that leather mask thing.

Xavier 09-30-2002 04:49 PM

but meetles and mugs realy don't look like the 1%ers,
I wonder how (beside the names on the pictures) there can be a connection.

It's kind of impossible

TheKhanzumer 09-30-2002 09:46 PM

Ask Alf About 1%ers
 
My guess is that 1% is just a term used to describe a creature in early developement or something. Someone should ask Alf.


I woulld but I've already sent him about two this month.

BigBro 09-30-2002 11:11 PM

I dont know why, but I get the distinct feeling that the creature Alcar first posted (mistaken for a Meetle) looks like some sort of criminal as that jacket makes it look kinda like a biker. So maybe they are a gang-type species who ride around on fast machines of some kind, coz he looks kinda evil too. *shrugs*

Xavier 10-01-2002 03:25 AM

I thnik they are more workingfor somebody... cause they can't do very much themself without all that equipement... I think they are the killers of the industrial side

BigBro 10-03-2002 01:18 AM

You mean a Hit-Man?? Its possible. But (if they get used), I guess we will find out in due time. I still say they look biker-ish:p. But maybe they are bikers and hired killers, maybe not specifically for the Industrials, but more free-roaming than being tied to a specific group.

Jacob 10-03-2002 04:14 PM

How come the symbol on its thingy looks more like the creature itself than the Magog symbol?

ryu 10-03-2002 04:18 PM

maybe its the creatures magog uses to make profits a new spieces maybe...........

Xavier 10-03-2002 04:26 PM

well, yes the logo on their heads are themself.
so they may be independent, an other power full family
a pure criminel family, that can be cool, who lives in the cities and make people afraid to go out at night

ryu 10-03-2002 04:32 PM

hmmm.........true but speakin of new spieceis ive heard of this creature called rietato do ya have any pics of it?

Xavier 10-03-2002 05:00 PM

never heard of that? where did you saw that?
