I'll give myself right to start a new topic despite being new member and having zero post count, if you don't mind it. (Couldn't find a rule which explicitly state otherwise). If I'm wrong, I am very sorry.
Anyways, I've made tribute to Oddworld games for latest
TIGSource competition. Game is basically retro-themed clone of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. While game does not refer to any Oddworld character it does implement number of Oddworld-ish features such as possession, gamespeak and general gameplay style, qualifying it as a proper tribute.
Windows build for short compo edition (v0.783):

[Game can run on other platforms as well, such as MacOS X and Linux, but I do not have builds. If anyone wants to compile it for their platform I can provide source.
]
Some things which are distinct from original Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee game include retro-style artwork and FX, horror-themed atmosphere, and music - but only in compo edition. (The original full edition of the game - Uneksians: Beli's Oddysee will come with Oddworld-style music).
I'm currently working on complete version of the game under project name
Uneksians: Beli's Oddysee. Not sure when it's going to be done. Number of features are going to be added on top of existing set, some already-coded stuff is going to be implemented in level design, and level design will be completely redesigned and aside of that it will be expanded.
Current version (compo edition) is short, puzzles are not awesome and has some features missing ( like Gunners for example
). But is nonetheless playable.
Thanks for reading.
