  • 0:30 dancing tree lol

  • fantastic...make another videos

  • Wow. wow just wow!

  • lol i think you have work with Oddworld inhabitans and make the bouth Abe Episodes HD Remakes :D

  • Dude, I seriously am digging the way you designed this level, no kidding I'd actually want a 3dD versions of Abe's Oddysee like this. (though nothing can beat the classic 2D this came close to it.)

  • Very well done man. Nice to see that other people still have a passion for this series! Also good luck with the JAW application too!

  • @EquinoxParadox91 hey thanks, I think I need all the luck I can get lol, have a horrible feeling they dont want me :-( lol

  • @nowtun I don't see why they wouldn't want you! This is ace work.

  • this looks very professional ! only that font at the beginning should be smoother, not so sharp...thats the only thing i can see wrong here...will it be finished this year maybe ? you are genius man !

  • @TetrapakProdzekt thanks man, Im hoping to get it all finished by the end of the year (unfortunately ive been saying that for 2 years now lol but this time im finaly on track)

  • @nowtun see this video, maybe you'll get some additional ideas, see how they did textures and atmosphere this game would be official but i think its canceled /watch?v=ydsq8kWigAQ -> wish you luck and if i can help contact me (i make music maybe i can help maybe not)

  • This is amazing work :') and seriously consider applying a job with JAW, they are based in England

  • @cheat12code i applied just yesterday actually hehe, waiting now to see if they get back to me.... this time.

  • This looks fantastic. A real-time rendered 2.5D Abes Oddysee would be brilliant. Although, from experience I know this isn't going to be finished. Good fan games are never finished :(

  • @joshkrz oh ye of little faith :-P hehe

    it will be done, come too far to just quit now.

  • is there a way to get our hands on this?

  • @TheUndertaker575 not yet, but there will be.... eventually

  • that cake.... is a lie

  • this is freakin awesome! how long did this take you to make?!

  • You should really try to apply for a job with Just add Water.

    They are seeking enviroment artists for upcoming oddworld projects!

  • Comment removed

  • This is awesome. However I would let Oddworld Inhabitance know you are doing this as look what happened to SORR with SEGA. You might get pulled for it. HOWEVER it looks amazing keep going :-)

  • wow what engine is this on? I'm glad I found this. Is there any site about this project or something that can tell me the progress?

  • soooo beautiful, shits on munch's oddysee :)

  • Paramonia was my favorite play in Oddworld Abe's Oddysee, it left a great moment in my life that I will never forget, despite it being a pain in the beginning to get rid of the mine. :P

  • welsh name :)

  • @Hadouken471 cymro ambyth :-)

  • you king man... omg i ll always the remember this game <3

  • your actually my hero man, i've been waiting for a new oddworld game forever

  • Wow, the memories are just flowing... this is amazing.

  • Youre amazing!! I mean it looks so charming,have you made the necrum ????????????

  • @slugfestdude lol thanks. i havnt made necrum yet. im making abe's oddysee first and when thats done i'll decide whether or not to do abe's exoddus (which id love to do)

  • beautiful, I can't wait for when this is finished! you've breathed new life into the oddworld series.

  • @MecTecher thanks, i cant wait to get it all done neither lol

  • is there a team behind this or u made it alone ?!!

    cause this looks perfect and u must found a game company for ur own

  • wow how far are you with this project? And do you have a release date/period in mind? really awesome!!!!

    But how are you going to manage the 2D puzzels in a 3D game envirement? or will the game stay in 2D?

  • Comment removed

  • @nintendax12 awww dont talk about yourself like that

  • @nintendax12 you're the worst crap that has ever come out of a penis. go die in a pit you insignificant whelp. no one likes you. go rot in a pit you piece of shit penis licking BITCH!

  • there are 2 bombs e.e .. but really good job you have talent ;)

  • @Uromriam yeah i know, when making this vid i forgot to put the order bomb in the scene

  • dude that is brilliant well done:)

  • @15Evanoboy thanks

  • how do you make that=

  • Hey man, you did a wonderful job out there. The only thing I'd change is making the whole Paramonia "darker" looking and less colourful, but even now it is outstanding. You are obviously talented.

    Good luck :)

  • u got talent man :o

  • @THEdjactheone thanks :-D

  • good... we want the beta ! ;D

  • that would be so cool if someone remade the original oddworlds in 3d for play. this excites me... only i can't play it :( Spectacular job though.

  • @JH3790 im aiming to get it released on PC at somepoint in the future

  • @nowtun i want to help you :)

    Knowing Program Languages : Visual Basic , Delphi (currently learning but i'm not a beginner)

  • 1:48 is that a cake!?

  • @FrosenYoghurt Da cake is a lie.

  • @FrosenYoghurt it isn't a cake.. it is a mine <_<

  • fantastic graphic don't forget to make too paramites

  • @Agente0Y8 I don't think he would forget them when he's aiming to remake the whole game..

  • Again Mr. Nowtun, your work inspires, impresses, and amazes me. You get a tip of the hat, a pat on the back, a thumbs up and a kind word.

  • you should apply for a job with Just Add Water.

  • @SligStorm i did a while bck when they first anounced strangers wrath re-make ut got no reply. im thinking of reapplying as there is a new job for environment artist going

  • @nowtun omg apply again and link them a video if they refuse they are stupid because you are amazing

  • @xMozzee im thinking of reapplying again soon, would love to be officialy working on oddworld

  • @SligStorm My brain is fucked from that retarded comment.

  • Hang on, isn't Just Add Water remaking this game LEGALLY for release on consoles?

  • @Scepticide yeah a 2.5D remake, your point being? and what exactly is illegal about this remake?

  • @nowtun Never said it was illegal, however given the circumstances, the IP owner is working of a remake of this as we speak. They may ask you to remove your copy from whatever form of distribution you plan on using, I doubt they want two remakes out at the same time. SEGA did it with SoR. As nice as it looks, I can't picture Abe in a nice bright and vibrant setting, nor could I see how this style of play fits the series ethos. What engine are you using for this?

  • Even so, the final thing may turn out great, changes have been good for some series and bad for others. It would be interesting to find out what Uni you are at in the UK, I study Games Design at Uni also so I may be of help to you one day. Since this is a simple concept video I assume, what direction do you plan on taking this? And are you releasing it at all? There are quite a few loops you do have to jump through first.

  • @Scepticide my Uni days have been and gone, im making this just as a personal project and something to add to my portfolio. I studied animation at Glyndwr University in north wales, i wouldnt recomend the uni personaly. to be honest i have no idea about coding as i lean more towards the concept and design aspect of things (scetching,animating, modelig blah blah blah. so yeah i am looking for a decent coder for this.

  • @nowtun my prevous coder and i managed to make a simple alpha demo (theres a vid up somewhere on my page) but it wasall using old models. weve parted ways sinse then. thedrection im aiming to go for with this is to keep to the original gameplayas much as possible just with a full 3D eniroment. i have had to change the layout of some of the paths to accomodat this but it still looks pretty similar.

  • @nowtun Wish I could help but we strictly study the design and management aspects. We write the GDD's, manage the teams etc. Fully creative, no programming, no art but we do use UDK. Tell you what, if you have Facebook I can have a proper chat with you about it, see if I know anyone who can offer any help?

    Plus the website I work for may well need an animator for an upcoming job. Lemme know if your interested. :) Send me a PM with your facebook name and a description of the display pic. ^^

  • @Scepticide youtube wont let me PM you but my facebook ame is nowtun ad the display pic is a bunch of ruturefarms objects i made a while back

  • I don't know how you'll pull off the game aspect too it, for me, Munch's Oddysee being in 3D was a huge setback as it took away from the brilliance of the originals, but, what I can say is that what you have made is beautiful looking, keep it up :)

  • @dpoos2002 same here, munch's oddysee was a huge dissapointment. which is one reason why i started on this project. i'm workig my hardest to keep the gameplay idential to the original, but with the additions that are needed for a 3D game... but it wont be munch-esque lol

  • what's the program name ? (Graphics program) or you using C++ or Delphi ?

  • Words cannot even describe how awesome this is. It feels like a walk through a forest, and yet on a totally different planet. It's awesome beyond anything I can say.

  • @nowtun why don't you amke some sort of Oddworld movie, it can be just the game with commentary or you can go WILD

    I really think an Oddworld movie (or even episodes) would be the Boss-EST thing

    EVAR

  • @97Optik i have thought of doing it in the past but strangely enough it takes longer to make a movie than what im currently doing :-S

  • LOL at 1:55 EXPLOSIVE CAKE NOOOO! LOL I like taht you should keep it

    P.s The cake apparently is not a lie LOL

  • @97Optiklol but this was a triumph (makes a note - "Huge Success") hehe

  • Wow this could become really awesome, nice footage!

  • looking forward to this game soooo much, was my favourite game. best memories!

  • looking forward to this game soooo much, was my favourite game. best memories!

  • looking forward to this game soooo much, was my favourite game. best memories!

  • the cake is a lie

  • Beautiful!

  • Is it time to this game is released? It looks so amazing = D

  • This is so amazing job!

    I loved the PSX Oddworld and that I'm really looking forward to.

  • I would love for Oddworld inhabitants to make a new abe sidescroller.. with todays tech they could make an immensely huge game and add alot of new features and mechanic, and still keep the "oddworld" feeling from the two first games!

  • @stiksization The HD remake they are working on is apparently their 2012 release

  • @nowtun WAIT WAIT WAIT !!! IS this FAKE Or Real ??!!!!?? i need to know im a real oddworld fan are they making a new oddworld game ?

  • @bezia12 this is real, but its not the OFFICIAL abe's oddysee remake, its my own version that im currently working on. the official Abe HD remake is going to be a 2.5D scroller and will be relased next year some time apparently, strangers wrath HD is meant to be released later this month

  • @nowtun  Fuck yeah !! Thanks for the info and keep up the good work cause you are pretty good

  • @nowtun yea i know, thats gonna be interesting, I have played through those games like 5 times tho.. so if they ever were to make another sidescroller like the two first that would be a dream come true for me:) also, sweet animations! keep up the good work man

  • @stiksization Abe HD is reportedly 2.5D side scrolling a bit like little big planet i think

  • Very nice video, well, tecnically nice remake ^^.

    By the way, at 1:55, it looked like a cake at first sight O.o. xD.

  • @Videomania23 lol i know, im working on a new "non cake" like mine lol

  • i'd like to play a new Oddworld game in 3D in OLD PS1 STYLE... Escape from Sbrabs in 3D.. =D

  • did u hear they might remake this game for real

  • @residentevilfreak95 yeah, JAW are hoping for a 2012 release i think

  • This looks great, are you using a game engine or just Direct3D/OpenGL?

  • @SerialVelocity100 this vid is prerendered in Lightwave using open GL (still looks the same ingame)but I do have a couple of vids of ingame footage on here.

  • This is win

  • are you the actual original game developer? coz i heard there actualy doing a full remake i loved the games so this would be the nuts if it were comin out :D

  • @Instinctdj17 lol i wish i was, but i am developing my own remake of abe's oddysee only in full 3D whereas OWI and JAW are making a 2.5D remake

  • @Instinctdj17 well urs looks the bollox mate so il play both let me kno plz wen its finished

  • @Instinctdj17 lol thanks. i'm keeping everyone upto date as possible as and when I finish a certain bit. im working on scrabania at the moment, just finished modeling the temple yesterday

  • Oh my god... it's so beautiful! SO many great memories coming back *tears*

  • if you still need a programmer maybe you should put something up on moddb its a web sight where people make custom games and remakes for games consoles etc.

  • @nikoface i posted somethng on the site a while back, got nthing though. and yes im still looking fr a pogrammer, even though i do have someone having a go at learning a new code language to suit unity

  • @nowtun whell i would like to help you myself but im only 15 and i dont have much experience in programming so i dont think id be of much help but if your that desperate i could try but i think youd be able to do a better job than me good work aniway i loved these games

  • whats the progress on the game where are you at right now? you work is fantastic

  • @nikoface currently working on scrabania, next will be the stockyards/freefire zone then i'll go back to complete paramonia and then ill decide where to go next

    thanks for the support

  • @nowtun no probs this is going to be fantastic when your all done with it i am looking forward to trying it myself good luck and can you please make a video when you finnish scrabania? i would like to see how its going good job!

  • @nikoface there will be a video of each location as and when they become complete to show my progress

    hope it turns out as planned hehe

  • if this is rendered animation will paramania look like this in game

  • @nikoface there are no fancy special effects added to this vid so yes the game will look like this

  • @nowtun nice looking forward to you releasing this

  • wow are you going to release this when its done its a masterpiece

  • What format is this stuff in? Is it a 3D rendering in Maya or whatever? Or is it loaded into a working engine? Awesome work btw.

  • @PaulsMagicVideos this video is rendered animation but i have a couple of vids of in game footage (rough demo tho not and gameplay elements)

  • I have watched all of your videos and I have to say, this is absolutely incredible. Not only are you giving (arguably) the most unique platform game new life, but you are accomplishing a project that most people would never get around to finishing. For getting this far even, what an awesome accomplishment. I would pay a good hundred bucks for this game, I hope to god you finish it. =)

  • @Ectite hey thanks :-), been working on it for a while now. i will finish this project, i promise. its just a question of when.

  • That looks great! :D

    So you're planning to make a night-&-day cycle? Shall this have any affect on the gameplay (like having more shadow zones at night) ?

    I'm pretty interested in this project! :)

  • @Kapryagos not really planning on a full blown day nigh cycle but i do want the sun to be moving in the sky so that the shadows are moving just to add that little bit more realism

  • yeah, i agree , your work is better than munch odysee :D waiting for rest of the levels like scrabania , and stockyards. keep up the good work dude !

  • @qwerty69666 working on them right now, just finishing off the exterior areas of paramonia first tho

  • @nowtun That's awesome. I hope the stockyards and Scrabania turn out as unusual and dream-like as the original levels. So far, this 3D Paramonia perfectly matches its 2D counterpart, with so much more detail.

  • much better looking then munch's oddysee xD

  • @Dante112 thanks :-)

  • vote this comment up if you think the mine looks like a cake

  • Hello, may I know where you downloaded the font type have? I am looking on long!

    Thanks OddyseeScrabs

  • @OddyseeScrabs I downloaded the font from TOGG on the oddworld forums

  • Wow, just wow, this really makes me want to go back and play Oddworld again. Keep up the great work!

  • @LiquidSith thanks man :-D

  • What program do you use to make this?

    Anyway, fucking amazing :D

  • @CycerMan Lightwave was used for the modeling and animating and the game engine so far is going to be Unity

  • @nowtun

    So.. Is Unity hard engine?

  • @CycerMan yeah i think so, im not that experienced with unity as i dont do any programming

  • @LocalLooney3000 thanks :-)

  • will you be able to enter background areas from the first game?

  • @smartlamppost Im guessing you mean the paths that are in the background of some screens? if so then yes, every path that is in the game will be present, but the wont be in the "background" but more attached to the foreground paths. Hope I explained this clearly.

    to try to explain what i mean better... in scrabania, abe would enter a doorway and then miraculously appear quite a distance away instantainiously. as this is a 3D remake, i have seen fit to change this to make it more believable.

  • @smartlampost

    doing this will then cause scrabania and other locations to seem as if they are totaly different to the original. The paths will roughly be the same layout wise but I will be making other minor changes such as object placement to suit the new 3D enviroment inorder to keep the puzzles working as I dont plan to change the puzzle aspect as that would be far to much work for me.

  • At first I didn't notice the blue sky, but now other people mentioned it, it looks kinda weird :P A pale foggy blue/white-ish sky would be perfect :)

  • @olesto I need to have a play around with skytracer

  • the mine looks like a cake :D Great Job :D!!!!

  • @KragJin The cake is a lie! :3

  • @KragJin lol i know :-S

  • Absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work!

  • @TigerXtrm thanks

  • That is really amazing :D This is just b-e-a-u-tiful! You guys have done an incredible job :)

  • @littleleeroy101 thanks

  • It's truly orgasmic but, the sky and lighting needs to be less bright and happy. Paramonia is supposed to be a little foggy and dim. Great work can't wait to see it finished!

  • @LACHandLOAD i need to playaround with a) skytracer and b) the sun plus there will be other objects to add in to give it a more dence forest look suchas fallen trees and vines and stuff

  • @nowtun Perfect reply; thanks, that sounds really cool! I hope Lorne finds out about this.

  • @smartlamppost Hes kind of aware of the project but Im not sure to what extent. the CEO of JAW is fully aware though

  • @nowtun Sounds even more Sexy!

  • Holy crap that looks amazing!

  • @GenTristan:-)

  • @GenTristan:-) Thanks man

  • awesome dude :P, you should give it a white sky [like the game]

  • @cheat12code Cheers man yeah need to look at the sky and other stuff

  • AND... i just got a boner

  • @ZiomASek300 ok then lol Thanks

  • amzing i love it

  • @SandersonCallum Thanks

  • fuckin good!! =)

  • @19BeNDeR90 Thanks dude

  • Nowtun you sir are a genius and if it wasn't blasphemy to say so, a god of animation

  • @Zimplony lol Thankyou kind sir...gutted that the quality isnt that good coz my video editor isnt working and had to resort to windows movie maker.
