:

Are there any pictures of what birds (from Oddworld,of course) look like up close? All I can make out is a white cylinder with wings.

You can look at "Shrykull revealed" cutscene and AE bad ending.

Could someone give me a list of known companies/products/brands on oddworld? Even ones that have just been mentioned briefly are fine. I know it's a lot to ask, but I keep hearing about new ones that I've never heard of, and I would appreciate the help. I'm gonna try to do a series of fan-made advertisements for them. If someone makes a list and leaves any out, please tell me and I'll make an ads for those ones too. Again, I know it's a tall order, but I'm worried that I don't know them all.

Someone forgot Slurg Sundaes.

Jbot123 · #**1116** 01-17-2013, 12:16 PM

In the art book there's a gift box of rupturefarms products, and I think one of them is called glom! and another is big-ass crackers. Any info on those?

**JayDee** · #**1117** 01-17-2013, 12:41 PM

Any idea how tall Chroniclers are? I'd assume they'd be pretty much the same height as a Glukkon. And what's with the leg thing, in the concept it appears that they only have one leg and two feet, but they apparently have two legs?

And Elum Chubs!

And Le Petit Tumor.

Hello there... I have a question, don't know if this belongs here or on the mods&hacks board... Any idea where does the background door on the following screen lead to?

It's the screen D2P01C07 from AO, in the Secret Vault (with access from Scrabanian Temple). That background way continues on the next screen, where it stops without any other door or trace of portal. Is it a scraped secret area? Has anyone tried to "shrink" Abe to get there?

Scrabaniac · #**1121** 01-20-2013, 06:51 AM

I think its just part of the background image

Bullet Magnet · #**1122** 01-21-2013, 10:21 AM

You come out of it when you get the boards off of the door in the foreground.

Can Mudokons get boards off? In the Necrum Mines cut-scene they just climbed over them iirc...

Nepsotic · #**1124** 01-25-2013, 02:39 AM

No they can't, they're weak slaves, remember.

Bullet Magnet · #**1125** 01-25-2013, 04:30 PM

They're pretty strong in the arm.

Nepsotic · #**1126** 01-25-2013, 04:35 PM

Yeah, that's what confuses me. They should be really weak, so... how are they so strong?

***Wil*** · #**1127** 01-25-2013, 04:37 PM

All that manual labour.

Nepsotic · #**1128** 01-25-2013, 04:45 PM

But I'm guessing they don't get a lot of food?

Steamer_KING · #**1129** 01-25-2013, 04:50 PM

All the scrubbing can make your arm really developed, like this guy:

Bullet Magnet · #**1130** 01-25-2013, 05:05 PM

I don't think he was scrubbing with that arm.

Nepsotic · #**1131** 01-26-2013, 01:38 AM

He was scrubbing something with it.

Can anybody tell me about Even worse Wieners and Fort Glokz?

EDIT: I've figured out videos, but how the heck do I embed images?

STM · #**1133** 01-26-2013, 04:06 AM

use the [img] tags.

Also, don't post general questions in threads about other topics. Send a PM to a mod about this sort of thing.

What's this gross mudokon supposed to be? What was his purpose in an Oddworld game?

Manco · #**1136** 01-26-2013, 08:01 AM

Mudokon zombies. They were supposed to appear in Necrum in Abe’s Exoddus, but were cut. What kind of role they would play or how early they were cut I don’t know.

***Wil*** · #**1137** 01-26-2013, 08:48 AM

No, that's from Munch's Oddysee. The idea was that Mudokons (and also Sligs and Glukkons) that had a poor diet became visibly sick, just at eating too little made them thin and eating too much made them fat. I'm not sure what gameplay implications were expected to result from this variation.

Mudombies were interesting characters. Distraught by their failure to protect Necrum from invasion, these lumbering resurrected guardians ignored Abe until he slapped them, at which point they would shuffle towards him. The idea was to lead them to spirit locks so they could return to eternal rest and open up the next part of Abe's journey, while not letting them catch up with Abe and snap his neck.

I don't know why they were cut.

Nepsotic · #**1138** 01-26-2013, 08:54 AM

Budget? They sound awesome, I've seen pictures of them in the art book.

STM · #**1139** 01-26-2013, 02:23 PM

My guess is programming restraints or to fit a tight schedule? If you ever end up doing Abe's Exoddus HD, it'd be great to throw them in. =)

Why would Abe slap Mudombies if he is only supposed to slap spirit locks? Or that would be the only way to make them follow Abe?
