When did fangus get cancelled ?

[Abe 01]

i heard fangus got cancelled, why and when because i havnt heard of it being cancelled so far anywhere

[Wil]

There was never any explicit announcement that the game had been cancelled, but since OWI ceased all internal development shortly after announcing the game, and have been looking to find a suitable production company to outsource animation to, it's more than likely the game is not in the works at the moment.

[Abe 01]

thanks im not that botherd anyway it didnt look that good and didnt have the odd in it like the last games
did anyone else like / hate it?

[Dipstikk]

*Raises hand* Yep, I did. The designs look way too human. This is Oddworld, I don't want to see anything closer to a human than Stranger running around. Now what we need for a main character is something with a disk-shaped body, 6 legs, and a toothy beak. THAT would be cool.
What in Odd's name was Lorne thinking when he let go of Farazad? He was my favorite concept artist.

[Xavier]

There are things that aren't always choosen by Lorne you know.

[Dipstikk]

Oh, wait. I remember, Farazad went to do that Darkwatch game. I still need to try that game.

I guess I've always been a Farazad fanboy. I wouldn't mind him being there if there was ever an Actra's Oddysee: the game. NOCTERO DRAWN BY FARAZAD!

[Xavier]

I've got the DarkWatch Game and the DarkWatch Art Of book...
both worth the buy if you like Farzad's art.

I also bought Darkwatch and was massively let down by it. It was very short and not a great deal of fun.

[Fuzzleman54321]

To me Fangus Looked rubbish.
Like Dippstik Said, Too human Like.

I was always more of a Steven Olds fanboy. He's the guy who designed the characters from AO; the muds, glukks, sligs, scrabs, paramites. Not that Farzad (no extra 'a') isn't also great but I just think, credit where credit's due.

BTWWTF are you talking about Actra? You're not doing a 'Nathan' and making up new quintologists are you ?

[Cullen Heath]

remember when that guy came into the forums a while back(i was not a member yet i just read the posts)and told all of you about fangus and then about a month later he said"f you america and bush i hate you all.this was all a joke". ever since that I thought that fangus was never even a thought by oddworld inhabitants. was it?

[Nate]

No, I don't remember that.

But in any case, we heard about Fangus from the Official Xbox mag (if I remember correctly) and we have also seen some production and level designs so it definately was real.

[Cullen Heath]

yes actually that did happen but maybe it was in a different forum.not to be rude but the brutal ballad of fangus klot was never real.

[Nate]

Did you not read my last post. Oddworld employees were talking about it and have information on their personal website. That makes it pretty real to me.

Xav, have you got the links to Silvio's website and the one with the game design, I forget who it was?

[Xavier]

the announcement from a mag:

Silvio's art:

and because I love you all:

Jeremy's art:

[Nate]

Are those pictures new? I don't think I've seen them before.

Who's Jeremy BTW?

What do you think the second one is? It looks like a silo or some sort of disjointed ammo canister.

[Xavier]

They were on Jeremy French's site... an ex Inhabitant, but that site is down now

the second one is this I think:

[Oddish]

Way the go Xav.

Those are beautiful renderd objects.

[Cullen Heath]

wait where did you get the ones of the guns and the drill thing?

[Oddish]

As Xav just said, Jeremy's personal website where he contains his art.

[Cullen Heath]

ok first... who is jeremy,and second... IF fangus is made, when do you think it will come out?

[Wil]

Jeremy French was a realtime artist on Stranger's Wrath. Assuming work on the game started right now, and assuming they'll use the Stranger Engine, it might be out in a year, but since the first assumption is blatently not true, there's no way of telling. If to every fan's horror the first film turned out to be The Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot, then there's a relatively significant probability that a game tie-in would be made.

[Cullen Heath]

yeah

hey do any of you have a problem with a human(fangus is mostly human right, corect me if Im wrong)being on oddworld...I cirtainly do.

[Dipstikk]

I think that's one of the big reasons to why anyone who's pissed about Famgus IS pissed. That and the excessive violance it seemed to promote, though honestly, I wouldn't have minded that as much as I would have minded seeing Fangus look so human.

And I KNOW people aren't going to be happy to read that from me, but you know what? Eat me. I like blowng things up in games as much as I like the Abe and Munch style games, dammit.

[Xavier]

My main problem with Fangus was that he had guns... and lots of it...
Actually I have to see the finished game (which wont happen I guess) to have a 100% accurate judgement

[Cullen Heath]

accurate judgement meaning that it got good reviews or what?
he did have a ton of guns.

[Nate]

accurate judgement meaning that he can't judge it seeing as he hasn't played the game and doesn't know how it would work.


Seriously dude, how many times do I need to clarify simple concepts to you?

[Cullen Heath]

sorry about that but you dont have to be such an ass.

[Xavier]

I simple wanted to say I've had to play the game to judge it.

[Cullen Heath]

yeah I understand.

does anyone know who those people are that people are that do someting with fangus(in that article)
