Oddworld Universe's Massive Updates

[Alcar]

I had planned on opening all my new sections the day the server went down, so I was quite peeved to say the least. But, alas, it has finally come time to unveil all of it! After spending quite a lot of time on the new content, I am satisfied with how it has turned out.

Firstly, I have added the new Stranger section. In this, you'll find an additional:

• Known Facts


• Gallery


• Movies


• News Articles


• Game Credits


• Fan Theories

Also, I've managed to update the Features section, with the three articles concerning the next Oddworld game. I did all the transcripts myself, including the mammoth X-Factor program, which I spent hours writing down, and going over everything said multiple times. The three are:

• Uncommon Threads


• Munch Money


• X-Factor

Hope you all enjoy them! I'll make sure to update them when new information arrives.

Wow! perfect!!

[oddguy]

I especially enjoyed the Features section. The articles were very well layed out and looked professional. The EGM story looked better on your site that it did on their own! Great job. Keep it up.

All very neat.

Nice job, Alcar.

*blushes*

Awww, shucks, thanks guys

It's great to have so much time on my hands, what with the holidays. Means I spend so much time working on the things that never get done otherwise.

Wow, those transcripts are great. It always irritated me that I had to sit through all the stories on the show, not just the bits on Oddworld.

I have one suggestion though: could you please make it clearer when Lorne & co are talking to the interviewer or to someone else (eg to Ed Fries) as it can get a bit confusing when the context changes mid-paragrah. Maybe you could have a different colour text for when they're talking to the interviewer.

EDIT: Also maybe some comments on what people are doing. eg when Lorne is showing Ed the sketches of the steef

[oddguy]

Have some respect! It took Alcar a heaping long time to type all that up!

[Alcar]

No, that's okay. I was thinking I should provide some sort of descriptions to do with what was being shown on screen. It was just finding how to do it properly, that was troubling. I have an idea, I'll see what I can do.

But for now, I've got yet another secret Oddworld project to finish first

wow wow Alcar...
you are doing alot of work here
hopefully it wont be needed anymore in a few days

HA! Quote from Xav. TAoO must be coming really soon.

[Alcar]

TAoO? I don't remember us officially naming whatever it is we're doing

Alcar...

[Sekto Springs]

Max, Xav, and Abe Babe each called it TAoO. So that's official enough for me.

[Cloverfield]

Hey that is awesome Alcar! Now I really need to get my act together and update Oddworld-Web too as I feel really behind with Oddworld Universe and Depths of Oddworld having updated information. At least now with Oddguy doing the news, it shoud give me more time to be able to get some of those out of date sections ... updated.

TAoO ... *cough* layout *cough*

Abe Babe...

[Wil]

When did I ever mention this TAoO?

And it's great to see you back about, Abe Babe.

[DeBulletDodger]

I still cant help wondering what the hell you r all going on about but i guess i shall have to wait and see.

[oddguy]

TAoO? I don't remember us officially naming whatever it is we're doing

Alcar...

Hehe...I was right. I knew it. I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!!!

-oddguy

[Sekto Springs]

Max, don't play dumb (you're quite the opposite). You, Xav, and I talked about TAoO for like an hour on Oddchat, you even showed me the layout. But I guess I'll play along and leave all the others oblivious and in the dark

[Alcar]

Lol, yes Abe Babe! I'd especially like to see your Oddworld 4 pages after E3. You'll have all the juicy information none of us have!

And, talking about TAoO, Abe Babe was the wonderful person behind its layout. But, I shall have to have a stern talk with Max / Xavier about the depth of information we share with the public...

Alcar...

[Sekto Springs]

Ha ha. Don't be too hard on Max and Xav, they were just being nice

[Wil]

I’m not playing dumb, I don’t remember that in the slightest. I would never have showed the layout to anyone, since it was in a hush-hush stage at the time. I get the feeling someone has been emulating me, but who would do so who has access to stuff even I haven’t for months?

When was this chat?

[Xavier]

Well TAoO... why is everyone excited about that?
who even said it was TAoO?
do you even know what TAoO stands for?

Hehehe... wait and you will see!

[Sekto Springs]

A while ago, it was just you, Xav, and I in the chat. I honestly don't remember if we discussed it much, but I know one of you PMed me and gave me the link just to show me the layout, if you can't remember that then it must've been Xav. Ah, I'm gonna get him in trouble. *zips lips*

And Xav, don't tell anyone else what TAoO stands for. We wanna keep 'em in the dark

[Nate]

Okay let's all have a private discussion in a public forum using as many code words as possible. I can get in the act also can't I?

Well the 'vixen' has continuated which means that the deadline for the 'mammoth tusks' will be reached but unfortunately 'Macca' with the 'toilet brush' has not 'accelerated' towards the 'dumping ground' so we may be a bit late

[oddguy]

Don't worry, TAoO shall soon be revealed. Very soon!

-oddguy

[Alcar]

Hehe. I absolutely love fan speculation. I now know how Oddworld Inhabitants must feel when they have all the information, but can't tell anyone.

Alcar...

[Xavier]

I do too...
well maybe not as exciting as an Inhabitant must feel, but still very exciting
