What is Oddworld Inhabitants doing now? When will the Oddworld film be released? When will the official website be updated?
There are numerous misconceptions echoing through the gaming community, so it’s important we get this right. Oddworld Inhabitants is no longer a videogame developer: the company employs no game designers, programmers or animators. It is also not a film development company. It is purely a creative core of designers and storytellers creating tales, characters and conceptual artwork that will be brought to life by external development partners to be made into games or films. This is not a rare relationship. Many game franchices are owned by publishers who dictate what develop can make the next game in the series. The difference is that OWI is not a publisher, and Lorne and Sherry will remain the director of his works.The reason for this is so that Oddworld Inhabitants can concentrate on what it does best: creating ideas. Before, Lorne would have to spend a large percentage of his time in administration.
