Hello, everyone! IGN has a short video, with a little information about Oddword 4. Its still quite interesting for a fan, though.
I'll copy and past what the article said, and shortly I'll have the video for non-IGN insiders to download.
Oddworld 4: Character Creation
Take a look at the character design process from the next Oddworld game.
June 17, 2003 - In case you didn't know, game characters don't grow on trees. We know, it's shocking. Well, there probably have been a couple characters that spawned from trees, but the majority of them are carefully designed, all the way from a light bulb-forming idea to the final rendered polygons.
Production on the next Oddworld game is under way, and with it a new lead character has been born. The following clip is from a Discovery Channel special that's set to air soon, so you'll want to watch for that one. In the meantime, though, check the clip to see what the character creation process on an Oddworld game is like.
