Windmills
 
IS it just me or are the winmills in MO
seriously out of proportion. When you standing outside there about 15m tall but when you get inside there like 40m tall. Man im really gettin to realize how mny mistakes there are in MO.

Well, a theory I have is that the Industrials are experimenting with teleporters and shrinking technoledgy. Or you could look at the "OWI screwed up" viewpoint concerning the brewery to be. Personally, I like to keep my glass half-full, rather than half-empty.

In my case, a glass half full would be that OWI made a simple mistake - shrinking technology? I pray not...

Man is this stomp on James's ego day or what. Ok sorry.

Xavier 11-22-2003 07:42 PM
lets say it's screwed up...
I don't want any shrinking technology :fuzemb:

lindsey 11-22-2003 07:48 PM
Same here. not a good oddworld sort of thing.

i would rather half my glass half full...but i always wondered that too, another one of those terrible "cartoon mishaps" that counted so many in MO, a ridiculously enormous space being inside a small windmill. And shrinking technology, WTF!? Honey, i shrunk the windmill.

Nath 11-23-2003 05:25 PM
Well I just figured that the bottom of the windmill was the bottom of the hill it was on.

Wil 11-23-2003 05:33 PM
You almost had me there, Nath, for almost five seconds you had me thinking about it. But then I realised inside the Windmill the three protruding chumbers/entrance halls lie in accordance with those outside, on the top of the small plateau.

Xavier 11-23-2003 05:33 PM
if that's realy so, the proportions are respected... :fuzconf:
I have to check.

As soon as I clicked Submit Reply button, I realised that myself. But it was a good idea though.

Xavier 11-23-2003 05:58 PM
hmmm too bad... well then it's simply messed up...
I don't think there is anything to add

oddguy 11-23-2003 07:59 PM
Whoa, I'm really getting beat-up over this shrinking thing. Forget I said it!:D

Well the windmill was originally ment to be huge but it wasn't. check this pic out and you will see the original size it was ment to be and to what we got in the end. This is what the original Munch was going to be on PS2

A lot better from what we got don't you think? Well Steef will make up for that.

Xavier 11-24-2003 04:08 PM
lets hope so...
yeah the textures are quite better on ps2, at least thay don't look as cartoonish as on Xbox

moodokon man 11-24-2003 06:07 PM
Ya you see how great It wouldv been. I really dont think the swap made any difference for this game. But thats old news, steff looks like the oddness we'v all come to expect from our peeps at OWI so anyway.....

Nath 11-24-2003 06:28 PM
You can really see the size of this windmill with those sligs? next to it

Xavier 11-24-2003 06:49 PM
I don't think their are sligs

here is the good size...

it's the good scale, if you compare it to the interior of the Windmill Temple

in fact it's the outside scale with is wrong
