Post Oddworld 4 - A New Light

Ok so I need to release some info that I may or may not be working undercover making a new oddworld game without any one knowing, I may or may not have been working for two months and have just finished making backgrounds and sprite sheets.

I need however, for you, my fellow oddists to name the hero! I am holding a 15 day poll to determine what the name of the new mudokon hero may or may not be!

Don't go asking for spoilers or too much info All I am releasing is that it may or may not come out next year and it may or may not be situated on the other side of Mudos.

Thanks. =D

Um, I'm not sure if you know the english language.. but Feg is a bit too close to a certain terminology used for the homosexual community. Good luck with this game.

Yes but you see fag is American for gay, a derivitive of faggot which, (where the English language origionally comes from...England) means sausage hence the name pork faggots.

=D well thanks for posting anywho lol. =D

What? So why no information? I mean it's not a very anticipated release or anything, You got to BUILD that up with bits of information and screens.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see what you made.

Hey Lex Mudwalker, that's actually...really good, if Lex wins that'll be his full name well done abe619!

On another note, expect the game to be of similar style and graphics to the classic oddworld adventures! Any1 own?

New tease: Atari style posters coming soon

Glud sounds like a glukkon name.

Also Faggot in USA can mean Bundle of sticks.

Happy Graphics Test

Ok, here is a preview of how the graphics will look, this isn't gameplay just a room with my abe andslig sprites added, I made it look like hero is chanting as well.

I think that in the game, if chanting turns out too hard to do to possess people chanting someone will kill htme therefore, like Munch's oddysee you can control your chants or they'll just shoot out, but you only get a certain ammount of chant power a level.

The story behind it is as follows...

The old ways are lost,
I went all the way to Mosaic but it was desolate,
I couldn't find a single soul,
I read the hand stones and saw how to chant so I practiced for days however, my skills are poor and my chanting weak,
I can merely kill simple beasts.

In days of old,
I am told, by ancestors,
that a powerful mudokon,
drapped in mystery,
freed us from the Magog Cartel,
He could control enemies with his powers!

I cannot.

=D Sound good, more story will be added in a few months, this is going to be the last update for a while because I am keeping progress secrete incase things don't work out.

Possession ability isn't that tough. I'd say give the Mudokon the ability to control a possess orb. When it touches a enemy player destroy the orb and make a certain variable in the enemy object equal true. When that variable equals true allow the player to control it.

ODDWORLD UPDATE - grey=completed white=being done

Sprites Made (99%)
Backgrounds, Platforms and Rooms (5%)
Level names/Area Names (80%)
Story (40%)
Gamespeak (?)
Short demo in the works

___________________________________________________________

The game is officially started, and should be finished by June next year so watch this space.

The game story so far goes like this:

The scene is set about 100 years after the first greta fall of Rupture Farms marking the beggining of the end of the Magog Cartel Empire.

Abe is long dead and all knowledge of him is confined to inscriptions on forgotten parts of the Mudokon Temples, Graffiti, common legend and of course, the family of those that new him.

The Monsaic Lines is dusty and unpopulated, mudokons have been scouted out and selected to be used as slaves by the Magog Cartel that is still running.

A new hero has arisen in the upper areas of the Mudos (current area not discussed with my modding team) his powers are weaker than Abes but he could be just as deadly...

That's it for now, thanks =)
