Oddworld Universe's Massive Updates

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:



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:



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

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.

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

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

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

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 At least now with Oddguy doing the news, it shoud give me more time to be able to get some of those out of date sections ...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...

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

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...

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?

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

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

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.
