Nope, never that it doesn't matter, that would be silly. Just that it was a plan that never got finished and, although we still have the option to do that, we also have an opportunity to go in a different direction and, perhaps, make a different kind of quintology (or sextology or whatever!). Ideas evolve and grow, my personal opinion is that it would be crazy to restrict that potential for new and exciting things for the sake of making games that we first spoke about 20 years ago.

Of course, we'd love to be able to make all the games we've got ideas for.

Edit: Apologies for the double post :/

I call a spade a spade.

Lorne’s original vision was to create a series of five videogames, the Oddworld Quintology, with each game introducing a new hero who would join the existing band of revolutionaries on their journey to put an end to the exploitation of cultures, people and the natural world by profiteering capitalists. It would culminate with five heroes in the consumer metropolis, but it would start with a hapless laborer in a third-world meat factory: Abe was a layperson in every way.

Thus this isn't the Oddworld Quintology (as defined by Lorne Lanning) anymore. I don't mind: I'm just saying.
