My goodness! How unusual it would be for birds to have hollows in their bones and bills!

Curses! I shall have to create a new Q&A thread shortly.

Bird bones are hollow

Zerox · #**603** 08-09-2007, 03:55 AM

I didn't mean just the bones, I meant the whole damn thing! If there's anything there other than a layer of skin covered in feathers, then that thing ain't flying. I mean, look at it! LOOK! AT! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

Try to think more in alien terms than Earth. This is Oddworld afterall.

Perhaps they have a flight bladder full of lighter-than-air gas (eg Hydrogen or Methane) that aids in flight, reducing their weight. That's certainly my explanation for the Boombats' flight capabilities and inflammable nature, anyhoo.

Since Mudflubs ae known species what do they look like?

What's this?

It looks like some sort of factory meant for MO or SW. It's got a website address on the bottom, I tried to see what it was, but it isn't clear enough.

Zerox · #**608** 08-10-2007, 04:43 AM

Looks a bit...well, dark for Oddworld. Seems more like a Citizen Siege thing or something, really.

They've only been mentioned in Paul O'Connor's Developer Diaries. We have not yet seen any images of them.

Lorne did a vocal impression of them in a GDC talk he gave. The video is probably still somewhere, but I certainly don’t have it at the moment.

Wasn't that pic in the load of Fangus pics that was posted on OWF?

***Xavier*** · #**614** 08-11-2007, 05:48 AM

Actually no one knows for sure what's from Fangus and what's not, Silvio wasn't realy clear. Sorry for that, I tried to sort it out the best I could.

Bullet Magnet · #**615** 08-11-2007, 03:13 PM

You must admit, it does look very Fangus.

Nolybab maybe?

Zerox · #**617** 08-12-2007, 08:12 AM

Nolybab's more of a city. Knowing what Glukkons are like, it would be way more decorated, stylised etc.

***Xavier*** · #**618** 08-12-2007, 01:30 PM

looks like a giant oil pump with a city around it

If you ever find it, would you please share it?

Is there any chance that oddworld inhabitants is mereley taking a break from games to do one or two movies then they will go back to making the games?

Fuzzle King · #**621** 08-17-2007, 11:04 AM

yes i think they will finish doing the citezin siege movie(and maybe a game of it)and then focus on more oddworld games and the movie.

Taytay · #**622** 08-17-2007, 11:36 AM

Oh okay, well thats good news.

I have the soft covered Art of Oddworld book, without spoiling it by being way to specific, what does the limited edition have that the soft covered doesnt have?

Fuzzle King · #**623** 08-17-2007, 12:15 PM

Actually, both the Oddworld movie and the Citizen Siege project is happening at once, except the Citizen Siege project is suppose to be the main focus at the moment. The Citizen Siege project is actually not just composed of the movie; it is suppose to have two games relating to Citizen Siege with the movie. The games are suppose to come out before the movie. Which should be around 2009 or 2010.

What do you mean by ‘happening’? The Oddworld film is not in production, but has been in pre‐production for several years.

How exactly would you know that? Have they told us it is in pre production/not in production?

Jordan · #**627** 08-18-2007, 12:27 PM

It's Max. He's just all-knowing.

The entire story and enviormental things are already plotted out. The story for the games was originaly intended to be a movie and will more then likely show up again in the movie. So yea, in that aspect the movie has been in preproduction for a good 10 years now.

Have they told us it’s in pre‐production? Yes. There are production paintings, and we know there was a screenplay being passed around a couple of years ago. Have they told us it’s not in production? Virtually. They’re moving onto it after Citizen Siege, and CS is barely into production proper.

I have a question. In the AE backstory video one of the Muds mention they gave Abe the ability to talk. Surely Abe could talk before that?
