= The Designer Diary=

Oddworld Inhabitants is on track with the second game in the promised Oddworld Quintology - a series that started a couple years ago with Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Oddworld Inhabitants then delivered a side game, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, and announced that the next game in the series would be coming out on the yet-to-be-released PlayStation2. At a time when it's not unusual to see three and four games in a series on the same system, this comes as a pleasant surprise. Videogames.com went to the inhabitants of Oddworld for the full, firsthand story.
