Oddworld: The Lost Archives: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:18, 16 April 2022

Oddworld: The Lost Archives was a social media series posted by Oddworld Inhabitants on Instagram from 2017 to 2019. It comprised weekdaily posts of Oddworld concept art selected from a recently recovered archive, much of it previously unreleased.

The first image was posted on 4th December 2017, and the series was due to continue until the release of Oddworld: Soulstorm. There were 327 posts in the series, the last post being made on 24th April 2019; Soulstorm released on 6th April 2021.

Details

Posts were not made on 19th or 22nd March 2018 due to Oddworld Inhabitants' attendance at Game Developers Conference and the launch of the Oddworld: Abe's Origins crowdfunding campaign occurring that week.

Starting on 22nd January 2018, the first image of each week was deliberately chosen for being in colour.

These very early concepts from Farzad back in 1996 show some of the more esoteric ideas we were throwing around at the time, but can you guess who this character would eventually become?	We're pleased to announce that we found the lost Oddworld archives! We've got never before and rarely seen artwork coming your way every weekday until Soulstorm is released. The images are complete with insight from Lorne and the rest of the team! Here's our first image #guesswho #gameart #characterdesign #Oddworld	4 Dec 2017 17:37	Here's our first image!

0002	5 Dec 2017 13:01	Munch Concept Sketch	Farzad	1998	An early exploration for Munch, from 1998 “The starting direction for Munch's character was that he's got one leg and hops like a bird, two arms that are pretty weak and an RS232 port embedded in his skull. The port he got from the Vykkers Research Lab and allows him to jack into technologies.” Lorne Lanning	Today's lost archive image is 'An early exploration for Munch' This poor guy's been subject to one too many experiments. #Oddworld #lostarchives #characterdesign	5 Dec 2017 13:13	Today's lost archive image is 'An early exploration for Munch' Here's a sneak peek, you can see the full image on our Instagram right here http://ow.ly/H3x130h1sYX	5 Dec 2017 13:13	Today's lost archive image is 'An early exploration for Munch' Here's a sneak peek, you can see the full image on our Instagram right here http://ow.ly/H3x130h1sYX

0003	6 Dec 2017 19:23	Mudokon Queen Concept	Steven Olds	Unknown	An early exploration for Sam, a Mudokon Queen who is also Abe's mom. She's too large to move and is imprisoned here with one of her children. Her eggs are born into the workforce with the ‘Shrink’ AI Sam's only companion, designed to keep her motivated and positive to lay more productive eggs. Sam was intended to feature in both Munch's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, and she is a character we will return to someday - her story will thicken.	Today's lost archive image is Sam, a Mudokon Queen.

0020	29 Dec 2017 15:59	Munch	Farzad	1996	Perhaps one of the strangest designs for Munch. The split in his toe allowed him to waddle, but the foot also acted as an excellent spring.

0024	4 Jan 2018 17:53	Munch	Farzad	2000	We toyed with the idea of Munch using his tongue as an instrument. This would allow him to communicate with non-verbal creatures.

0026	8 Jan 2018 17:01	Character Tongues	Farzad	1998	Ideas for character tongues. We considered Glukkons having octopus suckers on their tongues and Mudokon tongues snapping out to catch insects.

0037	23 Jan 2018 15:58	Munch	Farzad	1999	Experimenting with expressions. We considered that if the back of Munch's jaw was double jointed it would allow for greater expression.

0038	24 Jan 2018 16:54	Munch	Farzad	1999	This early Munch was particularly toothy. He was put into a diaper during experimentation. He can't take it off because he has no arms and no-one else will help him because he's stinky. His flipper left the letter M in the ground when he hopped.
