How big is OWI and what are they currently working on?

Pinstripe · #1 12-18-2010, 10:42 AM

We know OWI has contracted JAW to make a couple of Oddworld games, but what is OWI working on themselves? I know they downsized in 2005 when they announced to retreat from game development, but how big is the company now and are they capable of working on new products? What about that Citizen Siege game I heard of in the past?

The guys that were OWI are now OddMobb and they are working on social media stuff... I have no idea how many they are or if this is really relevant.

I hope the game they are working on is Oddworld: Hand of Odd, it will be the first online oddworld game.

I think they cancelled it.

Still, it would be cool if they announced it.

Like many fans. I want them to carry on the Quintology with Munch's Exoddus or Squeek's Oddysee.

Slig_Dude_64 · #6 12-19-2010, 10:05 AM

I heard about oddworld Munch's Oddysee, it sound kinda odd, (obviously) Munch is runninng to some kinda breeding area for Gabbits when Munch realises that he doesn't have a can opener, so Munch and Abe have another quest, a can opener!? Do they really have those?

***Xavier*** · #7 12-19-2010, 10:58 AM

That sounds like something some members of this forum might have made up.

Slig_Dude_64 · #8 12-19-2010, 12:04 PM

Not really, i searched the Internet cause i heard of Oddworld Munch's Exoddus and what i said was on lots of the things it showed. The breeding area is called Ma Spa (as shown, you can even see munch at the bottom)

***Nate*** · #9 12-19-2010, 12:10 PM

Yeah, Ma'Spa is real. Xav was talking about the part where Munch needs a can opener for a can that clearly has a ring-pull top.

STM · #10 12-19-2010, 12:28 PM

Slig_Dude he had the can opener, but not the can, so they went on some overly enormous quest for it.

***Nate*** · #11 12-19-2010, 12:34 PM

Please stop making shit up, Scrabtrapman.

STM · #12 12-19-2010, 12:39 PM

You generally have a serious problem with anything I say don't you nate

***Nate*** · #13 12-19-2010, 12:45 PM

Only when you're full of shit. So, yes.

NTS: *Ugh, don't feed the trolls

Sekto Springs · #15 12-19-2010, 06:28 PM

Nate's not a troll. You're just a retard.

Sorry but actually it doesn't... or it's on the bottom.

***Nate*** · #17 12-20-2010, 02:03 AM

You can see it from the bottom in the auction FMV and there's no ringpull there.

Wierd. My mental image of the can is totally wrong.

Gilrod · #18 12-20-2010, 02:18 AM

For obvious reasons I can't go into details, but on the cards currently are ...

4 projects

NOT including anything Stranger related

STM · #19 12-20-2010, 03:07 AM

Nate...not that this makes me any less retarded but...I'm right no?

@Gilrod - 4 projects??? Oddworld related ones? Wo!

***Xavier*** · #20 12-20-2010, 03:18 AM

Looks like Oddworld's future is in good dynamic hands.

If you can provide sources backing up what you said, sure. Otherwise, have a nice big cup of shut the fuck up.

Search for "opener".

***Nate*** · #23 12-20-2010, 04:41 AM

That's not an official press release on the plot of ME though.

Also not actually confirming what Scrabtrapman was saying. Quite the opposite.

STM · #24 12-20-2010, 04:41 AM

I'll just take the steaming stfu, it tastes nicer.

Paradigm · #25 12-20-2010, 05:07 AM

I thought JAW were working on a 2.5D Oddworld game?

Or has it all been debunked?

***Xavier*** · #26 12-20-2010, 05:40 AM

They can work on more that one project... Actually they just told us they were working on 4 projects (Stranger not included)

***Wil*** · #27 12-20-2010, 05:45 AM

A 2.5D game has never been confirmed as one of the projects.

I can't believe how many opinions there can possibly be regarding how you open a can of Gabbiar!

Slig_Dude_64 · #29 12-20-2010, 09:46 AM

You know what's odd, in the auction house for the last can of Gabbiar, when the Vycker came and announced that it was beginning, All of the Gluckons, Vyckers and/or sligs were clapping! How doo gluckons clap!? Most of the things in the auction house were Gluckons! How do the clap!?

Slig_Dude_64 · #30 12-20-2010, 09:48 AM

Oops, i just noticed we aren't talking about the can of Gabbiar anymore!
