Oddworld Questions & Answers VIII

[Varrok]

Where did he get "Max the" from, then?

[MeechMunchie]

Max was the fifth Quintology hero. It's confirmed.

Max was the fifth Quintology hero.

[Varrok]

Where did he get "Wil" from, then?

[MeechMunchie]

He was the fourth.

[Jbot123]

Wil is the fourth and forgotten chipmunk, whose spotlight was stolen by Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. He has an empire of gingerbread people and is plotting to take over the world TL;DR: Wil is Wil's name

[Bullet Magnet]

Wil's not a chipmunk, he's a vegan.

I was just looking at the recruitment page at JAW and noticed that they're primarily related to Unity 3D. Since when have JAW used Unity for anything?

[Xavier]

Well it's most likely for one of their upcoming projects. Any idea what Unity 3D is used for?

[Fred The Fuzzle]

Well it's most likely for one of their upcoming projects. Any idea what Unity 3D is used for?

It's one of the more popular 'public' game engines.

[Varrok]

Didn't they switch the engine used in NnT to Unity?

[Manco]

Some of the devs have tweeted about using Unity, but I don’t recall an announcement saying they were dropping Bitsquid.

[Nate]

They might be working on multiple titles. And possibly not even Oddworld titles (based on the description of the Designer listing).

[Jbot123]

Non-Oddworld titles? THEY HAVE BETRAYED US.

[xaiznox]

Hey does anyone think the meeches was a scraped idea or was it just for show in AO

[MeechMunchie]

Meeches were originally going to appear in Abe's Oddysee. They got cut for various reasons, then added back in as an extinct species.

[Connell]

I've just noticed on my PS1 copy of Abe's Oddysee that the Monsaic Lines level is listed as 'Monaic Awakened' on my save. Is this unusual or is it the true name of the level, and I have never realised?

[MeechMunchie]

Hey, what does "Monsaic" mean? Could Lorne not spell "Monastic"?

[Nepsotic]

I've just noticed on my PS1 copy of Abe's Oddysee that the Monsaic Lines level is listed as 'Monaic Awakened' on my save. Is this unusual or is it the true name of the level, and I have never realised?

Yes, it has always been Awakened, on mine at least.

[Connell]

Also, is there a working invincibility cheat that can be inputted on a controller for Oddysee on the PS1?

[Nepsotic]

No, it's in all the cheat guides but has never worked.

[Auriel]

Hey, what does "Monsaic" mean? Could Lorne not spell "Monastic"?

Or for that matter, why it is monsaic "lines". The only line in sight is the two-dimensional surface upon which you walk upon in the game.

[MeechMunchie]

I always thought it was supposed to be like ley lines. Channels of spiritual energy and whatnot.

[Nate]

Also, it's where the Mudokon queens used to go to mate with the drones. Because of the lay lines.

[Manco]

A comment on OWI’s Facebook page got me wondering:

What happened to Sherry McKenna?

[Nepsotic]

Isn't she still knockin' about?

[Jordan]

I assumed she did stuff behind the scenes while Lorne acted as a spokesperson. Unless she's working on her own/a different project or something.

[Jbot123]

Yeah, I kind of forgot about her. Is she still part of Oddworld?

[Nate]

I assumed she did stuff behind the scenes while Lorne acted as a spokesperson.

This, as far as I know.

Lorne mentioned her in one of his recent interviews, so she's definitely still around.

[Wil]

Sherry is CEO. We talk to her all the time.

[MeechMunchie]

Suddenly I had this weird image of Sherry as a cackling overlady, sending out Lorne as her harbinger.

Swiftly followed by an image of her as Wicked Witch of the West sending out an army of Lorne-faced flying monkeys.

My brain is weird.
