Oddworld Questions & Answers VIII -

Vyrien · #**1321** 03-31-2013, 01:52 PM

Yeah, let's assume JAW and OWI have no idea what they're doing and wouldn't be able to make it work. Great faith in their abilities.

Scrabaniac · #**1322** 03-31-2013, 02:15 PM

Yeah that is a good idea actually

Nepsotic · #**1323** 03-31-2013, 02:52 PM

:

i hope they make it so you don't have the ability to chant until a certain point, to give abe a bit more development/progression.

I was going to say that, but then what about the Mudokons that need rescuing? Or maybe just make the first level an escape sequence.

STM · #**1324** 03-31-2013, 03:15 PM

Just like to point out this is the Questions and Answers thread, not the New N Tasty speculation thread.

1. Will the other quintology protagonists have their own moons?

2. Are there any plans to explore other continents that isn't Mudos?

Phylum · #**1326** 03-31-2013, 04:45 PM

1. Presumably yes, but I really hope they change their mind.

2. Probably, but not necessarily in the Quintology.

I'm pretty sure they will yeah. Unfortunately.

E: Fuck you Phylum, you so fast.

Fred The Fuzzle · #**1328** 04-01-2013, 02:51 AM

Actually, is Fangus supposed to be set on Mudos or another continent?

***Nate*** · #**1329** 04-01-2013, 05:26 AM

Another continent.

Phylum · #**1330** 04-01-2013, 05:36 AM

Wasn't it going to be set on future Earth at one point?

***Nate*** · #**1331** 04-01-2013, 05:39 AM

I don't think it was ever meant to be future Earth (you might be thinking of Citizen Siege), but there was a time when it was an unspecified 'Not Oddworld' location. Now that Lorne isn't managing a studio full of artists who want their own projects, it's definately set back on Oddworld.

:

Will there be any emotional mudokons in New 'n' Tasty?

The Mudokons will have more personality and individuality, but that won't manifest as a gameplay mechanic like in Abe's Exoddus.

:

I wonder if JAW/OWI have any plans to try and canonise your ability to chant pre-Big Face illumination in the remake?

We did have an idea, but it was too expensive and problematic to consider.

I think there's something about that in the rules.

:

1. Will the other quintology protagonists have their own moons?

Yes, and I will dance gleefully in circles around everyone who cries about it.

Bullet Magnet · #**1333** 04-01-2013, 02:11 PM

What about protagonists without hands or feet?

Varrok · #**1334** 04-01-2013, 02:19 PM

How do you expect to control a hero without limbs?

Bullet Magnet · #**1335** 04-01-2013, 02:31 PM

Had no trouble with Pacman.

Jbot123 · #**1336** 04-01-2013, 02:37 PM

It would be easy. You just wouldn't be able to pull levers.

Nepsotic · #**1337** 04-01-2013, 02:45 PM

Wouldn't really be easy then, would it.

STM · #**1338** 04-01-2013, 02:48 PM

Yes it would, parasitise a host.

Nepsotic · #**1339** 04-01-2013, 02:56 PM

Like a mudokon?

Bullet Magnet · #**1340** 04-01-2013, 04:03 PM

Or a steef.

STM · #**1341** 04-01-2013, 04:17 PM

It would certainly be an interesting concept, a game revolving around some sort of endoparasitoid which invades a host and replaces their tissue with its own before taking control of the host's brain through the neurones or something. You could look at cordyceps for inspiration.

Jbot123 · #**1342** 04-02-2013, 03:52 AM

On the Oddworld wikia, it says that is what Squeek will do. Then again, the said that Paramites are related to Outlaws.

Phylum · #**1343** 04-02-2013, 03:59 AM

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The Oddworld wiki is almost as unreliable as Alf.

Manco · #**1344** 04-02-2013, 10:53 AM

That’s probably because it cites Alf as a source.

**JayDee** · #**1345** 04-05-2013, 07:15 AM

Alright, so me and STM were having an argu-debate about Rupturefarms. How much of the Rupturefarms you play in AO is actually inside? Cause my theory was that a proportion of the parts you play in AO are actually on those expansive catwalks outside the facility you see in the intro with only the later areas being inside the main facility. Answer and help an old married couple?

Bullet Magnet · #**1346** 04-05-2013, 08:08 AM

You can usually see the sky when you're outside.

**JayDee** · #**1347** 04-05-2013, 10:12 AM

:

You can usually see the sky when you're outside.

You can usually see definite walls when you're inside. If you're outside and in a place as congested with machinery and obscured with pollutants as Rupturefarms seems to be, and then placed on a 2D axis with fixed perspective then you most likely wouldn't be able to see the sky.

Inside? Yes, walls and ceilings.

Outside? Maybe, just catwalks pipes and pillars like outside Rupturefarms.

Bullet Magnet · #**1348** 04-05-2013, 02:10 PM

I think it's unlikely you'd get lighting like that outside, even at night.

MeechMunchie · #**1349** 04-05-2013, 03:18 PM

Maybe it's smoggy around RuptureFarms.

Sidewinder Fang · #**1350** 04-05-2013, 03:26 PM

I think Rupture Farms is just meant to be ridiculously huge, like everything else on Oddworld (and the planet itself, for that matter). Lots of cavernous spaces and whatnot.
