I don't think he ever was directly involved with the coding of the games, the impression I get is that him and Sherry basicly gave their developers a brief on exactly what they were looking for, and of course the developers had to implement Lanning's art into the game. Like he said, he wanted to tell the story of Oddworld and felt that games were the best media to do that. I'm sure when the other games were developed though that they went through virtually the same process as he is going through with JAW now. Overseeing everything and making sure they are done to this satisfaction. It's not the most tradition form of game development but at the end of the day Lorne went out and got the investment to get it off the ground, so at the end of the day it's that basic notion of employment that you do what your superiors tell you.
