Turning this around a little then - fire off some ideas and avenues that Oddworld stories could be published as.  |
I'd like to see the universe extended into graphic novels. Molluck's story post-Oddysee has always fascinated me, with his trial, and Margaret's fury. I think I remember reading somewhere that Lorne was going to have Margaret send Molluck to explain himself to the investors about the RuptureFarms and Soulstorm Brewery incident. I think the entire scenario would translate beautifully into a small, sampler graphic novel.
Of course, the medium would also give you guys a cost-effective chance to flesh out the overarching story and essentially show the full vision aside from a few brief (yet still engaging) cutscenes in the games. Not only would it satiate the long time fans who want to delve deeper into the world, it has the potential to reel in a new audience who can appreciate a story, but might not necessarily play video games.
Also, with the advent of digital distribution, Oddworld can still keep to their independent model and publish the material through all the available outlets that cater to independent material. It's really a no-lose situation, especially considering Lorne's background as an artist. You guys should totally do it.
