Oddworld Universe Returns!

http://www.oddworlduniverse.com

After an extremely long period of down time, Oddworld Universe is proud to open its doors to the public once again. Gone are the old, and very plain designs, now replaced by the modern and classy feel of the new style, dubbed the 'Made from 100% Anger' style. This new style incorporates all the old features that Oddworld Universe originally had, and builds upon them. You will notice upon further inspection, that this style is our most image heavy to date. However, the majority of Oddworld Universe is, always has been, and always will, be text based, and thus, is more informative. We hope that we have achieved a balance between style and content.

You'll notice that most of the major sections have returned: Home, Site, Games, Features, Fanstuff, and Links. The amount of content Oddworld Universe now encompasses is the most it ever has during its existence, especially with the drastic expansion of the Games section (we now have the largest games section of any Oddworld site to date). We hope that with all the media and extras each item includes, that it will provide you as visitors a much more enjoyable, and informative experience.

We at Oddworld Universe will now resume the usual work of updating the site, and more importantly, in this period of chaos with Stranger's Wrath fever, we will endeavour to provide Oddworld fans with up to date news on the happenings in Oddworld. Expect to see some very exciting features in the future!



As an added bonus, Oddworld Universe has decided to give away some Oddworld prizes to celebrate its grand return. For further information, and your chance to be in the draw to win, please visit this thread: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=11233

Damn you Alcar! I just return OWW and you come back too. Not only that you kicked our ass content wise. *sigh*

Only kidding. Looks good. Good promotion you have there.

Welcome back Oddworld Universe! I have only one complaint, and that's that your text is seriously small. I mean, it's minute. I have to increase it's size twice just to read it. What is it, five pixels high?

But apart from that, and a few fan theories that seem to now be considered “known facts,” I'm really impressed! There's a lot of content in there to read through. Great!

Sligstorm and Squeeks Odysee have some coverage! And Munch's Exoduss! Sweet, holy moose and all that is holy! I know, its just some text, but nice touch, yes. *ahem* Squeal.
So many good sites, all up at the same time (well, 3 to be precise...)
Also, the bar at the top looks very westerney papery esc. Yes. *ahem* Squeek.

Wow, I'm glad everyone likes it! I put a lot of work into it, and it did get very boring at some stages (try dealing with all those images and thumbnails ). I think in the past three days, I've had at maximum 15 hours of sleep - I've been madly rushing to get all content and other things properly finished so I could launch on the day Stranger's Wrath is released

More to come soon!

And thanks for all the kind responses, they really do mean a lot

Alcar...

Wow! Your site is really impressive, Alcar! It looks better than ever and I too am excited about your Squeek's Oddysee and Munch's Exoddus coverage! I know it is very little info, but it's enough for now!

Glad everyone is enjoying the site!
