Oddworld Roundhouse Q&A
Q For what platform will Oddworld Roundhouse be developed?
A Oddworld Roundhouse will be available on both Windows and Mac OSX.
Q What engine does Oddworld Roundhouse use?
A We use the Unity Engine from Unity Technologies to develop Oddworld Roundhouse. (
http://www.unity3d.com/)
Q Will Oddworld Roundhouse cost money?
A No, as we do not own
any rights to Oddworld it will be completely free. Promise.
Q How will I be able to obtain a copy of Oddworld Roundhouse after it's release?
A We will make use of digital distribution for Oddworld Roundhouse. Details aren't known yet but will be revealed before release.
Q What camera angle will Oddworld Roundhouse feature?
A As we were afraid that a Third or First person view will be too much to handle for us at this point in terms of making the level feel alive and real, a thing Oddworld Munch Oddysee suffered from, we have decided on a camera angle like Oddworld Abe's Oddysee and Oddworld Abe's Exoddus but with a small 3D touch.
Q What kind of story is there to Oddworld Roundhouse?
A As we don't want to touch the Oddworld Canon (yet) with Oddworld Roundhouse it won't feature a storyline. We are sorry but we feel like we are too inexperienced to start playing with some-one else his Canon at this point.
Q So how can a game be fun without a storyline?
A We know that some of you will be disappointed by this decision but we know what we are doing. We will make sure that player get an really great experience.
Q So anything about the game then?
A Oddworld Roundhouse will feature one environment where players will be able to use a lot of different approaches to repel Industrial forces.
