Oddworld Questions & Answers VIII -

The size of Oddworld makes not the slightest bit of difference to the visibility of a moon. Only whether the orbit is geostationary, which is unlikely. It would have to be almost as big as Oddworld itself for the two bodies to become to become tidally locked to each other, and that raises significant problems for life, as well as the presence of any other moons.

well, the distance of the moon and the orbit can affect visualisation, IO is not viewable in every position of Jupiter for example

Question: Why any mudokon ever saw they're handprint on the moon?

EDIT: Also I heard there were two versions of AO - One in which mudokons have 4 fingers and the other in which they have 3 fingers. Is this true?

EDIT 2: Plus, where is this footage from? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFE8duH8JOg

Yes. Japan didn't approve of Abe having four fingers, since many people in Japan lost a finger while meat packing, and the entire "meat packing subclass" is now considered an insult. So Japan didn't like Abe having four fingers, and now in later versions, Abe has three fingers, so Japan is no longer insulted.

Great, thanks!

Does anybody else knows the answer to my other questions?

What are you asking?

It was one of the videos OWI made when they were designing what the gameplay of MO should be like.

The moon was already there when Abe first saw it with his hand, so why didn't any mudokon saw they're hand on the moon before?

enchilado · #**368** 09-08-2010, 08:47 AM

Other Mudokons had. But it was the first time Abe saw it.

MuMI · #**369** 09-08-2010, 08:49 AM

oh, ok.

Thanks guys!

Hi, can I ask for screenshots of slogs, images of slogs.. other than the ones in the oddworld image library because obviously I can already get them. I'm desparately needing a slog in a neutral pose (ie. not sleeping, not walking, not running, not barking.) But I want the walking, running, sleeping, barking pictures too (just not as important).

Help much appreciated

Paul · #**371** 09-09-2010, 12:49 PM

What sort of images? If its any use my decoder app will get all sprites for slogs?

Wrong forum.

***Nate*** · #**373** 09-10-2010, 03:07 AM

Wrong thread.

More specifically, the moon has played a huge role in the history of Oddworld because of the way Mudokons reacted to seeing it for the first time millennia ago. Taking it as an omen that they were the Chosen Race (whatever that means), the Muds incited jealousy from the Glukkons... to put it mildly. All these years later and the animosity has survived.

Does anyone know paramite pie recipes?

Bullet Magnet · #**376** 09-12-2010, 11:34 AM

YO MA, GET THE SPRAY! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE OVER HERE!

***Nate*** · #**377** 09-13-2010, 05:59 AM

How about you go capture a Paramite and then we'll share our recipes with you?

Paramite meat + Hot water + Stock of your choice + Pastry + Pie dish + Oven.

I have a question...in Munch's Oddysee, why don't Abe and Munch fall back into the Big Well when they fall from Vykkers' Labs? *hits button to the -right of ↓
................................................................._*

***Nate*** · #**380** 09-14-2010, 06:37 PM

Because Abe hits the underside of Vykker's Labs, holds on and they both get carried away elsewhere. The Labs were moving at the time, after all.

Bart · #**381** 09-14-2010, 06:41 PM

OK, just seems a bit unlikely that the Raisin could foresee the fact that Abe and the labs would arrive there at the same time.

No. If only 100% known topics were discussed in OD, then due to the lack of activity, the forum could just as well be renamed to OddChan.

STM · #**383** 09-15-2010, 08:41 AM

You know what would be good, if you didn't double post just their. See. What you did?

Please stop trying to be a mod, Scrabtrapman.

Also, telling off members who have already been permabanned may have limited long-term benefit.

Is there any background information on Big Face?

It'll have even less effect on MS1029.

STM · #**387** 09-16-2010, 09:47 AM

Sorry, just trying to help, didn't know he was a pre-offender.

I do have a question though, ya know the slap bombs, why are they used so sparingly in the game? Rather pointless are they not?

***Wil*** · #**388** 09-16-2010, 09:52 AM

Maybe they came up with it but then found so few places to use it, but thought they might as well keep it in the places it was already used.

He's the Mudokons' leading shaman, and knows much of Abe's fate. He's called BigFace because of his mask. The Muds see him as something of a spiritual leader.

That's about it. They wouldn't make him wear a mask if he wasn't supposed to be mysterious.

Phylum · #**390** 09-17-2010, 12:16 AM

I believe Alf said something about Bigface wearing a mask to cover up his big head. Something like that, at least.
