Oh good news! Hope it will be released in this year :P

They don't have to be source models to be able to use them in GMod, I think. I've seen models ripped from an emulated Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. If they can get them from that, they'll be able to get them from Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath.

Oddey · #33 03-18-2010, 05:43 AM

This makes me feel quite relieved that they're making progress, and since I really didn't know when to expect it, I don't mind waiting a bit longer.

Exactly!

If only they would do this on the 360. I would totally buy them all again.

This, not that I won't get it on Steam, but a 360 re release might actually get some use out of the damn thing for me.

Achievements, eh??? ...

Not expecting it, of course, but it would certainly be AWESOME for MO and SW to appear on PSN with trophies!!!

Rayrockslots · #37 03-18-2010, 10:29 PM

I can't wait till they update they website!

Phylum · #38 03-19-2010, 12:11 AM

I wounder if that guy is going to do it.

enchilado · #39 03-19-2010, 12:13 AM

Don't expect too much, the guy's got a lot on his hands right now.

ODDREN · #40 03-19-2010, 01:11 AM

so it's 75 % done and again we have to wait another half of year..sad

Versus · #41 03-19-2010, 01:31 AM

But this news shows that project is ALIVE!!! :-)

***Xavier*** · #42 03-19-2010, 02:09 AM

achievements are just why I might replay MO one day...

smart move lorne

You can't just turn "3 down. 1 to go." in to "75% done"; AO and AE didn't need near as much work to get ready as MO and SW. I would call it more like 'Potentially approaching half done, maybe"

I think the idea behind his post was a general lack of satisfaction at this news since everything is being pushed forward, on a plus side thoug we know oddworld isn't as dead as we expected, perhaps the cash from this will fund future developments?

Funny, I thought everything was being pushed back.

Well done and cheers for the update, Nate. I'll get round to putting it on OddBlog one day.

Alf Shall Rise · #46 03-22-2010, 05:47 PM

Awesome news, having achievements in Oddworld is going to be spectacular.

Phylum · #47 03-22-2010, 10:36 PM

on a plus side though we know oddworld isn't as dead as we expected

Just how dead did we think Oddworld was?

Also, proofread your posts. You never do. I've been annoyed for a while, and have decided to start mentioning it. It's not like you're retarded, it's just you're careless. Though was missing a "h", is it really that hard to go back and change it?

Also, on a more pedantic note, "on the plus side,(-though)" would have been nicer, but this doesn't bother me as much.

Crashpunk · #48 03-23-2010, 12:09 AM

Isn't it werid how I started a Achievement thread a couple of months ago and all of a sudden The Oddbox has them!

I recon Lorne Lannings on this fourm.

***Wil*** · #49 03-23-2010, 12:23 AM

Either that or he was quite aware from the start that Steam had achievements, he just didn't want to focus on them yet.

Nah, that's crazy talk. You should get royalties.

Pretty dead.

If this ever happened to be the case, I hope only a select few of those achievements are chosen... A lot of the achievements in that thread are really bad.

well the onces that are extreally easy to do

Zukan · #53 03-23-2010, 09:01 AM

Run the game under windows 95? Now there's an achievement if I ever saw one.

***Wil*** · #54 03-23-2010, 01:42 PM

Considering Scrabs and Sligs never occur on the same path, I must conclude that you are using some exotic new definition of the phrase "extreally easy" with which no one in the world is familiar.

Bonus rant: Google returns 13 thousand results for "extreally".

enchilado · #55 03-23-2010, 02:56 PM

"Find the condemned RuptureFarms door in the FeeCo Depot lobby"... certainly that one is extreally easy, seeing as you can't finish the game without passing through that screen.

***Wil*** · #56 03-23-2010, 03:13 PM

Portal has an achievement for getting the portal gun. Nuff said.

***Nate*** · #57 03-23-2010, 04:23 PM

Plenty of games have acheivements that are simply markers at certain points of the game. The equivalent for AO would be

Escape from Rupturefarms
Traverse Stockyards
Experience Monsaic Lines
Venture through Paramonia
Relight all of the Paramonian Temple
etc

Just walking past a certain background element would be fairly pointless though.

I suspect that the acheivements will probably also relate to number of muds rescued/killed and finding secret areas.

Rayrockslots · #58 03-23-2010, 09:04 PM

I got one
Bye Bye Birdies: Don't die!

I'd go for it

***Xavier*** · #59 03-24-2010, 12:30 AM

I don't think that would be a good idea...

I really wonder what they will come up with

Crashpunk · #60 03-24-2010, 08:26 AM

Okay people. this is turning into another Achievement thread.
i only brought it up as a example of bad ones.
