You know Paul's back, don't you? Take a look at the .lvl files thread - he made an epic return but unfortunately he's said that doing further work on extracting from the game is giving him major headaches so I don't know if there'll be much hope in that.

Anyway, I think I might join in here. I have a lot of experience with Game Maker (I've even created a strategy game - turn based, though, not real time - which worked pretty well until I ran into problems with the speed of GML execution), but I don't know if I'd want to do much for this as I find I just get tired of programming.

However I can also create DLL files and extensions for game maker, for example more powerful file management, complex calculations done quicker etc, so I'd be happy to do some of that.

But as Venks pointed out, do what you love, and what I really love doing is music composition. I've done quite a few different styles over the years and I can do it in multiple formats - midi files (quickest to make, lowest file size but also low quality), mp3/wave files (moderate speed to make, highest file size especially for wave files, but highest quality again especially for wave files), and module files (longest to make, moderate file size and moderate quality). I haven't tried making any Oddworld style music before, but I'm sure I could give it a go.

And also, just so you all know, my mp3 files are done through a proper synthethiser keyboard, not some midi to mp3 converter software! I might add a sample later.
