Well Slaney It involves pretty much a whole mixture of sounds recorded in the studio. What they do is get the sounds of different verious animals or anything they can think of by makeing. They simply record them and when they go and edit they mix those sounds all together and what you get is those cool background noises.

A good example of this is in Star Wars and the way they made the sounds of Chewies roar. It actually is a mix of a lion, a seal and a dog all mix together. Now I don't know exactly what kind animals or things make the sounds we hear in Oddworld but I am sure some of those sounds could be a mixture of insects and frogs thrown in I bet.

Of course now a days the process is a little bit digital than the old way. So I am sure the sounds we heard came off the computer but at one point it was recorded. I hope this helps you out. I know a lot about special effects and the illusion of art and design in film and games and thats what I am going into so I hope this helps a bit.
