=== Vote for Oddworld: Soulstorm ===

Award nominations are great. They don't rate as high as your support, but it is nice when we receive kudos for our hard work.

The fine folks at the Webby Awards nominated Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition for Best Art Direction, which is an award that personally means a lot to me. Before getting into the games industry, I was trained as a classical artist in physical media. So I've always tried to show that inherent love for art in everything we do. It is my sincere hope that the influence I can have on the amazing artists we work with is apparent in Soulstorm, and that our vision shines through, from early concept to final production.

The entire team got behind my vision for Soulstorm's look and feel and I am so very proud of all our work. And so, I ask, if you have two minutes, can you jump over to the Webby Awards, register to vote, and if you think Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition deserves it, please vote for us.

=== Vote Now! ===

Also, if you want to learn more about Soulstorm's art, check out our nomination video which we created specifically for the Webby Awards!

Thank you, 
Lorne Lanning
