Why does everyone say that this http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...M/CAOM0004.jpg looks demonic? I see nothing demonic about it

I am not an expert of feature concept arts and other thing of OWI, but I think we will see new and spectacular thing in the future games: so I think this pic can't be commented by us now, but we can do it when we will know more things about it.

Why can't we comment on it yet? I think the reason Max put it up there was so we could share our views about it. So keep the comments coming people. A forum is for discussing things anyway.

Oh god. I'm not online for a measly five days and something like this has to come up. Those paintings are simply stunning. I stared at them for a full five minutes.
All the speculation on the question of what exactly is in them has already been said, so I'll bypass that part, and I'll just say that these paintings make me all the more eager to see what plans Oddworld have for the film...

It ain’t commenting on the pictures that’s troubling some people, it’s over analysis of them. Some people are trying to read too much into what is meant to be little more than artistic inspiration.

I think you didn't understand me (and I didn't explain me well): everybody can discuss everything, but I think our suppositions will be clarified when we will know more about the images. That's all.

Yeah, we had that a lot with Stranger too, before it was announced or that we had some descent infos about it everyone was speculating about the story and characters.

Most of that speculation is a bit pointless now...

Some of the ideas were really endearing, though. Some even rather sweet. But mostly I’ll remember the agro.

That's some cool material, Xav. I hadn't realized they released more concept art. The two things I had not seen before were the Labor Union and tribal wall paintings. I'm sorry to go off topic like this, but do you know if that's Nolybab in the labor union piece?

***Wil*** · #69 05-25-2008, 11:46 AM

I would guess it’s not. Nolybab will be the Industrial version of Hollywood. That looks like a gritty inner city.

That concept stuff is pretty cool. Some of it almost reminds me of the Real World in The Matrix, while some of it reminds me of Johnny Mnemonic. And I loved both those films so that is fien with me.

But who's the short dumpy guy stood next to Abe? It's not Munch.

That Labour Union is intriguing. Do I spy a Gloktigi atop the sign? And are those figures Glukkons or perhap Khanzumerz?

I know it's nothing to get particularrly excited over, but it's still interesting.

Ahh, thanks for moving these posts. I'm glad to have a little more insight on the meanings of those two paintings.

Crashpunk · #72 05-28-2008, 08:13 AM

2) Are sligs coming back?

i've already seen them, and i was wondering; is it the movie of AO, because i heard the storyline would be kept the same for that, yet thats not RuptureFarms. Also, what's with the whole city idea? I thought Muds lived on factory floors or in the wild.

Oddsville · #75 05-29-2008, 06:16 AM

It will be the same story as AO just expanded alot further and with alot more depth/detail. Some aspects of the story may be diferent but generaly it should be the same. AO was originally written to be a movie but Lorne decided he could get the messege across more if he made it into a game. That could very well be part of Rupture Farms in that pic, after all in the game we only saw just a fraction of the factory. Or it could be a city that we have yet to see in Oddworld.

As for Mudokens they can be found everywhere. The ones in the wild were dwindling untill Abe started freeing all the workers but there are some that live in the Big City and choose city life..
