The Oddworld Podcast

Albert speaks with Sheehan Foote, a fellow Aussie Oddworlder and insanely talented concept artist, about Oddworld.

🗃️

Oddworld, created by Oddworld Inhabitants, is a beloved video game franchise that goes beyond entertainment. It delves into the clash between ecology and industry, spirituality and materiality. The games' immersive narratives and captivating characters explore the consequences of unchecked industrialisation, the exploitation of natural resources, and the loss of spiritual connection. Oddworld's rich lore intertwines these themes, delivering thought-provoking messages about the delicate balance between humanity and the environment. With its mythic, darkly humorous and enduring storytelling, Oddworld transcends gaming, with a promising future in streaming series and films expanding its reach and provoking dialogue about these essential societal and ecological issues.

Albert and Kai discuss the exciting possibilities for Oddworld Inhabitants' future, with rumours swirling about potential partnerships with Netflix, Apple, or Google. Imagine an Open World Oddworld title like Horizon Forbidden Odd, Red Dead Oddemption, or The Odder Scrolls: Sligrim (yes, it's a bit ewww, but you get the point!). We'll discuss how it could work, who would star in it, and the incredible world-building opportunities it presents. Expect all these questions and more to be answered as we consult The Art of SoulStorm, the new cornerstone of Oddworld Inhabitants. This refresh has paved the way for more dynamic, emotionally resonant, and cinematically impactful tales. So why wait? Sit back, relax, press play, and let's get your ODD on!

Albert discusses the seventeen years it's been since Stranger's Wrath, comments on the current state of the Oddworld community, gives a preview of episodes to come (Ep. 3 with Hett, Muske and Tech, and hopefully Ep. 4 with awesome long-standing Oddworld community member Aly) and brainstorms some ideas ('Oddworld: Pilgrimage of Odd') for the third Quintology title as an open-world, 'Red Dead Odd/Breath of the Odd/Horizon Forbidden Odd' style adventure, with day and night cycle, a living breathing ecosystem, multi-steed traversal, and much more. A potential upcoming acquisition by Netflix (given complete creative freedom and IP rights) is discussed as well, building towards the multimedia future that Sherry and Lorne have always envisioned for Oddworld (including an Arcane-quality Oddworld animated series), alongside the Quintology. Enjoy.
