The bulk of the work done on ALL future Oddworld productions, based on the current system, will be made by third parties. Oddworld Inhabitants in now a company devoted to their intellectual property, a machine churning out ideas, concepts, art, and turning into coherent stories to tell in various mediums.
However, they will have an integral part to play at every step of development for films and games, making sure that they go down as they would were they developing internally.
Oddworld's name will be accompanied by that of another developer on the finished product, but they will have both worked on it as hard as each other. Like the algal and fungal cells that are intimately intertwined to form lichen (obligatory Bullet Magnet-esque biological analogy).
