 They say the only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked. Well, I beg to differ. The dumb question is the one that gets asked OVER AND OVER AGAIN! So, before you write, check our list of Most Frequently Asked Questions to learn if I've already offered a vague, indirect, smarmy reply to the special burning question that's been keeping you up at night. If you don't see your question here, then drop us a line, but please be patient waiting for an answer. Even if I didn't have a drinking problem, it would still take me a long time to wade through all the mail we get. So please, one question per fan! - Cheers, Alf Q: So, Sligs go to Slaughter School. I'll assume Glukkonsª and Vykkers go somewhere to get an education, yes? Alf: Glukkons take a lot of correspondence courses, and I think Vykkers learn about science by sending away for chemistry sets advertised in the backs of old comic books. Or maybe they have sprawling universities and business schools. I can't really say. I've never been inside a Glukkon city to take a peek. Q: Haven't any of the Mudokons taken time to get to know a Slig? You never know, Sligs could be warm on the inside and have a bitter outside because of their BS with Molluck. Besides, isn't what you Mudokons are doing called "racism?" Alf: Probably more like "species-ism." The only Sligs I've gotten to know very well were the slugs that kept hitting me with gun butts, but you're right, maybe they're decent guys under all that psychopathic bravado. It's not their fault that they have to shoot guys in the back. Yeah, I blame society. Q: Hey, you told me that in Munch's Oddysee Abe and Munch can take more than one shot from a Slig's rifle. This seems like a good idea, but I wanted to make sure that you were keeping it realistic. In MO will Abe and Munch be able to keep walking after being shot seven times like in many FPS games available on the market? Alf: We're still tuning the damage values of our characters. We're aiming for a sweet spot between "bang, you're dead" and "bullets bounce like tennis balls." Whatever we select, it will fit into the whole like any other Oddworld mechanic. Q: : What would one have to do to get an oddworld.com e-mail address? Alf: Get a job with Oddworld Inhabitants. Q: On the Oddworld site, they say Molluck the Glukkon is seeking his way to the top again . . . but I thought he was dead in the end of Abe's Oddysee? Alf: You can't keep a good Glukkon down! Q: Can Abe Swim? |
