Oddworld OW Game Editors

Okay, well recently I have been moving into an extra room in my house [since I returned from the US, thus my lack of time online] and I came across a little piece of paper that must have fallen out of either my Abe's Oddysee or Abe's Exoddus box. I can't tell which one, as it doesn't have a game mentioned on it, only references to Oddworld Inhabitants and GT Interactive.

Anyways, most of it is a copyright/disclaimer, but on the back of the sheet it mentions that the software "may include an editor", which is speculative and could be standard licence agreement, except for the fact that it goes on to refer to if you make a level, that you have to put the words that it "is not made or supported by GT, OW, blah, etc".

Of course this never eventuated as we are aware, but imagine how cool it would have been to have an editor to make our own Abe's Exoddus or Abe's Oddysee levels. Imagine the endless possibilities, the puzzles you could make, the combining of different environments ... it would just overall be fun. All of us fans could swap levels ... we could be playing new twists to the game forever!

I wonder if this was something they had planned on adding and didn't have time. Maybe I should ask Alf about it.

But anyways, apart from commenting on this topic, feel free to add any ideas you might have if you were able to use an editor with one of the Oddworld games.

Abe Babe...
