General info regarding the Game Developers Conference:

The official website is http://www.gdconf.com/

The next conference will be held March 22-26, 2004 in San Jose, CA.

Y'all probably already knew that

. Sorry, I can't find anything either! Alta Vista--nothing. Yahoo--nothing...

tybie_odd, the message was you missed so it was the previous Game Devloppers Conference.
And I can tell you Oddworld Inhabitants was there at Career Pavilion 1938
http://www.gdconf.com/expo/exhibitors.htm

But I can't find any photo or information about it, Im turning crazy

***Alcar*** · #33 05-03-2003, 07:24 AM

This is one thing I love about Oddworld! It's making me crazy too, and I love it!

I somehow get the idea, that nothing is going to be found at Game Developers. I can't seem to recall any people at OWI with the initials GD either.

Hobo · #34 05-03-2003, 07:26 AM

Have any of their game developers/designers etc. been interviewed recently??

***Xavier*** · #35 05-03-2003, 07:34 AM

no, I just went to the archives and there is nothing about that, it was a good idea

Hobo · #36 05-03-2003, 07:36 AM

Any areas in Oddworld with GD in them?

***Xavier*** · #37 05-03-2003, 07:51 AM

what do you mean by areas and even if youhave good ideas, maybe you can try to search by yourself, no?

Hobo · #38 05-03-2003, 07:53 AM

But that'd mean moving.............. and my xbox is over the other side of the room *vainly reaches for xbox* and i'm too ill too use google. Honest

Nope.

I'd expect it to be something of a review, where they hinted information. I did at one stage think Designer Diaries, maybe they hinted at something.

Also, if you check here: http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/fea...ist/index.html

You'll see that no Oddworld game is listed under Microsoft or Infogrames so either they ain't at E³ or they really are keeping it shut super tight.

***Xavier*** · #40 05-03-2003, 08:08 AM

I also noticed that, Alcar...
I we are allready sure 2 members of OWI will be at the E3:
Lorne Lanning & Rob Brown

did you allready saw the size of the microsoft boot? It is simply huge!

Hobo · #41 05-03-2003, 08:08 AM

With a booth that big i worry that OWI will never be found!

paramiteabe · #42 05-03-2003, 09:23 AM

Its quite possible that they are so tight with spilling information out that they don't even want to use the Internet because OWI knows that we the fans will be listening. That could explan why you haven't found any information on those sights yet because it would spoil it for us. For OWI to go to great lengths of hideing great information regarding the next game, I can say it has been fairly successful on their behalf.

They know what we are thinking and they are taking the steps to prevent that from occuring. We will get information a tidbit hear and a tibit there but it won't be a lot I bet. But I can be wrong too!

The other day when I was checking out the capitalized letters in the poem I decided to look one more time for the Spectrum one. I decided to click on the press link on the side of the page and when I went down to the Spectrum paragraph I noticed that at the end it said something about an unreleased image with a little "; )" next to it. Now I remember I've read this before and Im quite sure that this was not there before which could mean its a clue?

Of course they have to stop us from thinking. Us thinking would lead to inelegence. Opps, that sounded intelegent, I should take my medicine

Oddsville... intresting but the "; )" was there since the beginning

I also noticed it, but October 2003 is a long wait for only one new image as unique info

Oddsville · #46 05-04-2003, 03:28 PM

Dang, and I thought I was on to something. Ah, well thanks for informing me Xav.

May 2003
Since so many are starving for the "beef" on our new game, we've asked the Raisin to give us "the juice". We squeezed him until he let out a little whine.

Taken from the official website.

"beef" refers to Abe's Oddysee (with MEAT in RuptureFarms)
"juice" refers to Abe's Exoddus (with BREW in SoulStorm brewery)
"squeezed" refers to OW4 ? Maybe we'll see Squeek?

***Xavier*** · #48 05-07-2003, 12:54 PM

oddipus
uh... why not, but why isn't there any reference to Munch's Oddysee? It doesn't fit

Al the Vykker · #49 05-07-2003, 07:42 PM

Well technically the Raisin, is the mention of mo there. Very good though Oddipus I would never noticed that. Its good to see GD active again. I really hope we can see something from the next game at E3. Well I better start looking for clues also.

Yeah, the thing I was amazed by was when logging on today I found GD with more posts than OT! Not that's it bad, it's fantastic. One day I hope GD will once again be larger than OT.

***Xavier*** · #51 05-08-2003, 02:36 PM

I hope so too, now I have a lot more work again
the new area of oddworld GD has begun

Reese Charles · #52 05-08-2003, 04:52 PM

Your all looking at this too deeply. They are not going to have a deliberate meaning to this, its meant to psych us up, and get our juices going. As for GD, its G... D... , and its not really related to anything. Its something the raisin was about to say before he fell asleep. The whole point of this message was obviously to just tell us of stuff to expect, it doesn't have a hidden meaning.

Though it makes for interesting theory, anything that this may relate to that isn't immediately obvious to you will be from characters you don't know about yet.

Thankyou Atusiya!!!

Much appreciacted!

And good to see you! I know that you haven't been around for your own reasons.

Dipstikk · #55 05-18-2003, 11:13 PM

I found these in the Daily Deception section. Maybe just to re-kindle yer speculative tastes.

I think that some of these may have a bit to do with the next game.

The one on the left. Is this foreshadowing? And if so, could Abe be leaving? Or dying?!

And to your right. Maybe ol' Latamire's been doing a little extra-cericular activity to help the Gabbit race? Huh? Huh? (Nudges and winks.)

Perhaps a number of badguys? I dunno what Vices are.

OWI KNOWS we've been rackin' our brains about this.

Just something to sink yer teeth into.

Leto · #56 05-18-2003, 11:44 PM

Could it be that the fact the G and the D have dots in between is there are missing letters? Like just for an example, good(Remember:That word has no relevance to anything at the moment). Could this mean anything? I dont know... OWI were at gdc but were giving a talk on " Giving Characters Feeling".

Hmmm........
