Draw up a will then, buddy. It doesn't exist and it probably never will.

No it doesn't. It's still either in very slow development or OWI finally pulled the plug on it. I'll be at your funeral.

EDIT: Simaltaneous post with SS.

No, it’s not in development. Maybe we’ll see it in some form in the pretty distant future, but until then you’ll have die. I’ll prepare the tissue casket. What are your plans for intearment?

I'm still trying to make a fan version of the game. So many platform based oddworld games, but nothing else. If you're interested tell me what you hope to see in Hand of Odd and I'll try to implement it.

I think maybe we should get together and make a fangame of it for this guy... we'd be saving a life.

I'm all for it. Since I've decided awhile ago to do it. I can't do it in 3D though, would take too much effort. Not to mention I'd be unable to get the models. I'm doing it in 2D using fan made sprites, not by myself cus I'm no artist, but I don't really know everything I'm looking for.

I could make the game a carborn copy of StarCraft, but that wouldn't really feel odd at all wouldn't it?

I'm trying to create an interface which has you being either a Mudokon Chief or a Glukkon Executive interacting with your troops/buildings. I'm definately gonna need some voices. Worse case scenario I'll try using some voice editing software to do it myself.

Perhaps making the wildlife be capturable/trainable would be nice. Scrabs would make really nice melee fighters and of course Meetles/Mugs already have their place. I'm not quite sure how to make it transition smoothly though.

Cool. I'd like to hear it. I'm pretty good at Slig voices too. I used to be able to do a flawless Abe, but now my voice is so rough and manly I just can't. Anyone here do a good Alf? I have fun with the "mouth-full-o-peanut-buttah" voice he has.

I think its been established at this point in time, Mat, that when you say "no offense" in a post it becomes our part to omit it.

Hmm...if so many of the wonderful people here can manage to create perfectly reasonable oddworld based games, how hard can it be for the big, bad games company OWI to just kinda create something...you know, just something to whet our appetites after the long wait? Surely they could so SOMETHING??

How many finished oddworld fangames do you know of though? Heaps of people here have started making games but very few of them get finished. Making games does take time, and while I agree that it'd be nice to have something new from OWI, you're not comparing apples with apples.

Also, OWI aren't exactly a "big, bad games company," even when they were developing games I understand they were one of the smaller game production studios, and now they're even smaller.

I think this is where your theory loses its momentum.

As fun as joint-efforts are, the only Oddworld games I would play would be the ones made by OWI themselves.

BM, have you kept the flame lit this long?

I do quite enjoy making my own games. I have a nice amount of projects I'm working on. My most serious one being Divine Space. A simple shoot-em up game similar to Ikaruga, but with its own unique twists. My gaming team of myself and two close friends have been programming it for the past two months now.

Very true. I had been working on a side-scrolling platform/shooter Slig game a year ago. Five months of work. Five months. Due to my own lack of foresight my processor melted. Melted into goo. I lost all that work. I still have my hard drives, but have no idea how to go about accessing them on my new computer. So now I'm making a Hand of Odd game using Adobe Flash. Even if it doesn't work out well I'll learn a lot about Actionscript 3.0 so it looks like a win-win situation in my book.

That may be true, but you could just as easily say one of these days OWI will make another game. It's probably true, but it's not going to happen anytime soon!

What kind of computer are you using? If it's just a normal PC I would've thought you'd be able to plug in your old hard drive as an additional hard drive on your new computer, unless all the slots are used of course. No offense if you already know all that though.
