Gilray drew a picture of Munch with crayons and put it on the company fridge but Lorne said it was shit and threw it in the bin.

Has anyone come public with what happened between JAW and OWI?

Kind of.

:

We’d worked with Oddworld for 4–5 years and really wanted a change, a chance to work on something different, and Oddworld wanted to move future development closer to “home” for them. It was a mutual decision.

:

Also is Wil still working with one of them?

Unfortunately, no.

Wasn't JAW huge fans of Oddworld aswell? Why would they make a game worse? If i was in their shoes i would be honored.

Yeah they were. I think they built New ‘n’ Tasty in Unity 4.

You'd have to ask JAW.

I think the more pressing question is 'Was Oddworld Forums the worst thing to happen to OWI_Alex?'

It's the best one, actually.

I'm still waiting for that Wii U port of Stranger's Wrath :/

All jokes aside though, I don't agree with the idea that JAW were the worst thing to happen to Oddworld. If anything, they were one of the more better things to have happened in recent years. I enjoyed the HD ports quite a lot. Most importantly though, JAW were the ones who brought this franchise back and without the success of New 'n' Tasty, idk if we'd even be getting Soulstorm.

I think that's probably true.

Apart from Stranger on Wii U. That's not a thing.

Way to lose a potential Stranger Wii U buyer.

You should've told him "no platforms for future Stranger Wrath ports have been announced".
