Hi people, Uros here with some new things to say and show, like one of the ideas I took away from the grave a few days ago while searching over the old files in the disks I have scattered around.
Oddworld Power struggle was, as some of my recent works, an early work I never completed when I was only getting started in the world of writing and the world of games (Because I still didn’t have a pc, ok?). This game is intended as a board game (because I highly doubt there will be anyone that want to get it on pc if someone don’t pay up… so forget it
) which will have Oddworld’s factions fighting against each other in one of the many Mudos battle grounds in “No Man’s Land” (fictional part of Mudos found northwest, far away from the real action with Abe, Munch and Stranger).
The game is supposed to be for 2 to 8 players with small squads of units that they can level up and get better with time and experience (Such as in most RPG games and like you would in real life) while expanding their army with time and resources within the battles they will fight and recovering any death or wounded by mystical or technological means such as resurrection or cloning (That are expensive, of course).
This game doesn’t have an objective for real, this means you may create campaigns, skirmishes or anything you want for the sake of it. This is Oddworld, the industrial and the tribal ways are always fighting.
However, what does this game has that is interesting? Well, I don’t know for sure but I tried to make things different getting a few factions up together for anyone that wishes any way of playing. Since this is made from Oddworld “Hand of Odd” as a remake since the game NEVER saw the light of day (and this is why I don’t claim credit for developing the idea
Besides, am a fan of Command and Conquer and other strategic games with some RPG) the two basic factions will be these:
The Land Muggers
(Glukkons, Sligs of every kind, Vykkers, robots, Interns, captured Mudokon, captured wild life)
VS
The Tree Huggers
(Mudokon (Great amount of units), wild life such as Scrabs, Paramites, Elums and more… and many more)
Since this is a fan made game there can be fan made creatures or units, as well as these factions I designed up.
The Wild Lands
(Outlaws, Clakkerz, Wolvarks and any species and units that were seen in Stranger’s Wrath. Besides you may find runaway Sligs and other species from the other factions).
VS
The Work Force
(Sligs (plus new kinds), Captured Mudokons (Plus new kinds), Interns (Also plus new kinds))
VS
The Techno & Magic Co.
(Every one of the species but from the Wild Lands with different units, an alliance from Glukkons’ industrialism and Mudokons with shamanism to try and make one equilibrated ecosystem… Everyone hates them it seems)
This is a work in progress I am making in my spare time when I finish my whereabouts (Such as creating a few pages of my story, no exams to try and pass in class or the homework of course…) so it is a work I am willing to do, but not fast… A game, be it of any kind, will take time and probably HELP because I don’t have drawing or modeling skills or any programming if this was to be a simple game with squares marked for terrain and/or with a letter to show your units or the enemy’s.
So as right now, without much (or any) content to show, what can I offer and do? Well, this is a fan work so no money
only fun and the promise of creating something interesting and fun for the fandom that everyone will be able to play free ^^ (I hope).
Oddworld had always been direct action and RPG, but I think some brain cells in use would be nice in the sense of war >:3 Besides, this is a fan work that may be able to get remodeled for anyone’s tastes if given the time so everyone.
But for now I leave everyone to think about it while I work on getting the 2º chapter of my story done and some work on this accomplished. I hope to be back with some info soon and that the people like the possibility of getting something like the Hand of Odd running “soon”
