If I took over OWI...

Fuzzle Guy · #1 06-24-2009, 02:30 PM

I would make another Abe Game. Rather than a 2D screen by screen play, it should be a 3D side scroller, with the best graphics possible with today's technology! Where Abe doesn't look like a 2D bitmap, he is instead a 3D model played from a 2D perspective...

I would then make it possible, for today's ""2D!? TEH FOOK!?" gamers to instantly, by the touch of a button, move between side scroller mode to full 3D mode like in MO and SW.

But most importantly... perhaps the most important of all... I would bring back the "Follow me" gamespeak button that were robbed of with Munch's Oddysee

What would you do?

Also, I've become an Oddworld Discussion "O hay wt wud u do if!?" poster... Lord help me.

OddjobAbe · #2 06-24-2009, 02:37 PM

I would re-hire Lorne, set everyone to work, and wait for the money to come in while I sit back and do nothing.

MeechMunchie · #3 06-25-2009, 12:36 AM

I would create another AO/AE style game, and an Abe film.

Mac Sirloin · #4 06-25-2009, 09:12 AM

Re-release AE and AO on XBL, maybe add

WAIT

LORNE IS BRITISH?

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

Anyway, attempt to re-release Strangers Wrath, then...I don't know. I'd feel kind of pompous asserting creative ideas beyond what they've already made. Maybe try to make MO as an XBL episodic title with all of the original components (What was supposed to be released.)

Lorne isn't a part of OWI anymore?

I would have you all kiss my ring.

Huh?

I think OddjobAbe imagined taking over OWI involves Lorne being not a part of it anymore.

Mac Sirloin · #7 06-25-2009, 09:37 AM

Huh?

Lorne Lanning is an British game designer, writer, voice actor and animated film director.

Ah. I didn't think of it like that.

***Wil*** · #8 06-25-2009, 10:01 AM

I see. Apparently this was added by an anonymous user on 17 June who simply changed Lorne’s nationality and birthplace to the U.K. and gave him a birth date. It’s possible he was born in the U.K., but he was I believe raised in New York, and they definitely got his birthday wrong.

Stupid Wikipedia.

If I took over OWI, I would take over the rest of the world the way glukkons did (I would find that out from OWI), and rename it to the Magog Cartel. Then, I can force everyone I hate to work in Rupture Farms and Soulstorm Brewery.

OddjobAbe · #10 06-25-2009, 10:16 AM

That makes sense. I really see what you mean.

You should pursue a career as a social activist! You're just ~~retarded~~ smart enough to get ahead!

Jordan · #12 06-25-2009, 11:34 AM

I would promise a new game and release a new logo along with it. Then I'd wait 10 years then tell the world I'm closing the company.

Not really.

I'd re-release AO/AE and put them on Xbox Live Marketplace/PSN, and add some bonus levels to go with it.

Then, I'd remake Munch's Oddysee, with a minor graphic update, bug fixes, put what was removed back in, and other stuff, and release it on XBL Marketplace/PSN/Steam. I'd do the same with SW, but it doesn't need remaking 'cuz it's fine how it is.

And while the fans are happy with what's happened, I'd continue making the new Oddworld game.

Rampage48 · #13 06-25-2009, 12:25 PM

I would mutate a horse so it looks like a elum then ride it around the office yelling at everyone hey get back to work!

Havoc · #14 06-25-2009, 01:14 PM

I'd release a goddamn level editor for the 2d engine already!!!

If you notice, it says "Lorne Lanning is an British game designer..." so the person probably just replaced the word 'American' with 'British' whilst not even bothering to correct the grammar.

Fuzzle Guy · #16 06-25-2009, 06:02 PM

Man, what a dick.

Bullet Magnet · #17 06-25-2009, 06:50 PM

I'd get to work on "Abe Nukem Forever".

Wings of Fire · #18 06-25-2009, 07:55 PM

I'd sell it to BM, for a song.

Fil The Slig · #19 06-26-2009, 01:27 AM

I would make The Fungus Kloth game.

Mac Sirloin · #20 06-26-2009, 02:33 PM

Why yes, a game about washing yourself with a mushroom sounds wonderful.

Their current business model might show the error of your thought process.

OddjobAbe · #22 06-26-2009, 03:34 PM

Who's to say that I couldn't force them to crack on?

OANST · #23 06-26-2009, 03:37 PM

Even when they were cracking on they weren't exactly raking in the money.

OddjobAbe · #24 06-26-2009, 03:40 PM

Who's to say that I didn't completely change the business?

OANST · #25 06-26-2009, 03:46 PM

You did!

OddjobAbe · #26 06-26-2009, 03:54 PM

"Who is"
I did. But no-one else is to say that. But feel free to do so.

MA · #27 06-26-2009, 04:23 PM

WHOOSH

over my fucking head.

***Wil*** · #28 06-26-2009, 04:26 PM

OddjobAbe stands to lose a lot of rep if he keeps being pedantic like this.</hints>

What are planning on changing the business into? Dry cleaning?

OddjobAbe · #29 06-26-2009, 04:51 PM

Love hotels should make a lot of money.

Grandi · #30 06-27-2009, 04:59 AM

I'd set up that most-payed people on this board would get their ideas into the next Oddworld game. Real fans wouldn't miss an opportunity like this, so this would be a fast way to receive some pocket money.
