But surely Mudokons themselves wouldn't be the target audience for Mudokon pops.

I didn't say that Mudokons were the target market. I said that creatures with Mudokon-sized mouths would be buying the Mudokon pops. The reason being that RuptureFarms' customers buy Scrab Cakes and Paramite Pies, which can be eaten by Mudokons, so it follows that Mudokon Pops would be purchased by the same customers.

Ah, I see.
I guess it doesn't make much sense, then.
Still, though, would the intro have the same atmosphere with a happy Mudokon ice pop?

We discussed it before, and I think we concluded that it wouldn't.

I'd have thought that the Board would be far too savvy to benefit from the cute version and would want to see the proof-of-concept anyway.

The cute version would be released to the public. Which is why that's the version we see in Exoddus.

Varrok · #**155** 09-25-2012, 04:28 AM

I can't remember where it can be seen in Exoddus

It's in the fmv when Abe is going along the rail line on the little manual carriage thingy (I forget what those are called). He sees the poster and falls off, then lands in the next part of the level.

On a different note, I don't see any reason why Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies, or even Elum Chubs would need to be the same size as the creature. RF is a disgusting meat plant far worse than anywhere on Earth- and in reality, you can buy 'meat' products with less than 10 percent meat inside. I don't want to know what the other stuff is. Surely the pies etc. at RF would just contain a bit of mushed-up animal?

If that's not the case, I want to know why my pork pies are so damn small. Shouldn't they be, you know... pig size?

I had a dream about Oddworld: Abe HD.

It was wonderful. It was magnificient.

Varrok · #**158** 09-25-2012, 07:07 AM

It's just a dream.

I'll be totally honest if I say I had a dream about AbeHD too, it was awesome. It looked nothing like the screenshots (I had the dream before seeing them)

Nepsotic · #**159** 09-25-2012, 08:50 AM

I know this is the Oddworld Forums, but... We're not that obsessed, right?

Varrok · #**160** 09-25-2012, 09:10 AM

We're not?

Nepsotic · #**161** 09-25-2012, 09:23 AM

Of course not!
We're slipping so far from Oddworld that if we weren't getting so many tidbits on Abe HD, we'd be called the Bill Murray forums!

I dislike the mask choice. Make them look like in AO, please ._.

Calm down you negative nelly. That's only one Slig. Perhaps he couldn't afford the visor mask?

STM · #**163** 09-25-2012, 10:26 AM

Squee~?

I had a dream about AOHD as well, by the way. >_>

Twice.

Varrok · #**164** 09-25-2012, 10:27 AM

But... but he worked well. Nobody touched that lever while he was on guard. Nepsotic suggested he might have even beaten that mud a little. It's not fair

Nepsotic · #**165** 09-25-2012, 10:34 AM

You sound like AlexFili.

Manco · #**166** 09-25-2012, 10:37 AM

Hang on, if he couldn’t afford the visor mask why is he wearing the (canonically) latest model of mask?

Varrok · #**167** 09-25-2012, 10:37 AM

@Nep: Why?

@Manco: That's a good question, I think. Although, if the OW wiki can be trusted, the exoddus masks were being used because they were cheaper

Thesloghunter · #**168** 09-25-2012, 11:25 AM

The screenshot looks cool. Very interested to know what other Slig masks will be shown, alongside the 'Exoddus' model.

The visors are valuable antiques.

Varrok · #**170** 09-25-2012, 12:57 PM

Vintage

But the visor, HUD mask is the crappier version. The reason Sligs got the new ones was because the HUD made their vision funny and they kept falling down holes and stuff.

Also, I think it should stay being the new mask, how it is.

Varrok · #**172** 09-25-2012, 01:29 PM

Yet again, OW Wiki:
http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Slig
says there's more to that

You're all ignoring this I think.

There's a real chance here for Oddworld to expand the canon on visors. Does higher rank denote better masks for instance?

Phylum · #**174** 09-25-2012, 03:10 PM

Maybe they're just visors.

But seriously, the idea of having both excites me. I think having variance in the world would make the game feel even more alive.

Sekto Springs · #**175** 09-25-2012, 09:43 PM

*comes in*

*everyone's nitpicky about the slig not having a visor in a pre-beta-beta-beta-beta screenshot*

*leaves*

Mr. Bungle · #**176** 09-25-2012, 10:44 PM

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was fucking retarded.

Jordan · #**177** 09-26-2012, 03:08 AM

I can see this becoming like a Sonic fan forum over time.

Dynamithix · #**178** 09-26-2012, 03:45 AM

Over time?

STM · #**179** 09-26-2012, 07:01 AM

See this becoming?

pupbenny · #**180** 09-26-2012, 07:12 AM

Everyone lets stop talking about he masks. Let JAW do what they think is best. Me and loads of others think it should be the new version, as in the screenshot. Others think it should be the original one. Some think it should be both.

End of discussion.

Now, I think it's time to discuss something that is very important. What are you, JAW, going to do with the sounds and music? For me and I think most, if not all, other people, the music and sounds was a massive part of the game. So, what's Abe HD gonna be like?
