Oddworld: Soulstorm "an evolution upon the genre"

We talked with Oddworld Inhabitants' co-founder Lorne Lanning at E3 about the technology going into this new game.

"It's not a revolutionary game - it's an evolutionary game upon the platformer genre, turning it more into a 2.9D, more fully immersible and emergent simulation of the world where you're provoking trouble and the world starts changing around you," Lanning explained. "And we got all that running, but as I say it's an evolution upon the genre about a revolutionary experience, so we're doing evolutionary technology in the genre about revolution, because really that's where this series is headed, right? Abe starts at the bottom in the worst place you'd ever wanna be, and just through desperation of trying to stay alive and trying to help others that are in a similar circumstance, winds up starting to affect economies, shutting down factories, and eventually leads to uprisings that leads to movements that will lead to revolutions that will eventually change the world."

Not only did we get to try Oddworld: Soulstorm at E3 (you can find a preview here) but during our time in LA we also talked to Oddworld Inhabitants' co-founder Lorne Lanning about the game and specifically the technological innovations that have come with it, like realistic liquid fire dynamics.

"That was some of the technology we started off with right at the beginning, aside from 'okay, how do we fix the legacy issues of latency controls and responsiveness and basically how do we make Abe more dynamic, faster-moving - you know, more responsive all the time'. Inside of that we were like look, [SoulStorm] Brew is at the heart of this game, the Brew is something flammable, there's a deep mystery around it, and it's part of the great mystery around this overall story arc," Lanning told us in the interview below.

"And with it, it's flammable, and it was always supposed to be flammable, but flammability is something in games... like we burn a lot of things but not like real fire, and so we wanted to focus on that liquid flammability for trap-making and things like very volatile substances that can blow up in your face, you know like dynamite or nitroglycerin. So in that, that was one of the earliest things that we started R&Ding on [research and development], was can we do the impression of spreading gasoline, spreading a flammable substance all over the place, and just igniting it and it doing the proper thing that you would expect, and then burning that into an industrial inferno."

"And then when we got that working right we were like 'oh god we really need to burn things down now', so how far can we take this, this living force of fire? And that led to destructible, burnable operations, like entire mines - there can be big mineshafts of wood - could be ignited and burned and turned into huge industrial weapons [...] The fire led to the physics, and the physics led to various variations of that, where we wanted a playing field that would change shape over time."

What does all this amount to though? Well, Lanning continued on by saying this pushes the genre further with these enhancements:

"It's not a revolutionary game - it's an evolutionary game upon the platformer genre, turning it more into a 2.9D, more fully immersible and emergent simulation of the world where you're provoking trouble and the world starts changing around you," Lanning explained. "And we got all that running, but as I say it's an evolution upon the genre about a revolutionary experience, so we're doing evolutionary technology in the genre about revolution, because really that's where this series is headed, right? Abe starts at the bottom in the worst place you'd ever wanna be, and just through desperation of trying to stay alive and trying to help others that are in a similar circumstance, winds up starting to affect economies, shutting down factories, and eventually leads to uprisings that leads to movements that will lead to revolutions that will eventually change the world."

Elsewhere in the interview you can hear about the personality of the project and the feedback from fans, as well as some of the iconic voices at around the 9:35 mark.

You have a chance to vote on Beyond Good & Evil 2 locations

Ubisoft took the opportunity to offer two very beautiful artworks.

Michel Ancel and his Ubisoft Montpellier team are working hard to create the best possible experience for Beyond Good & Evil 2. We already knew that the French developer intends to ask the community for their opinions through the Space Monkeys program which was announced at E3. Today, the devs need your help to create their next environment. You can choose between five locations that give us some clues as to what we could be in for. Visit the official website (x) to make your voice heard on one of the most anticipated games in development:

"What types of environments are you looking forward to discovering, exploring and expressing yourselves in, as free pirates in System 3? Here's a short list of some of the places we've been thinking about—tell us where your imagination takes you, Space Monkeys!

• Secret Pirate lairs on asteroids, spaceports, dormant volcanic craters... • Black markets in city slums • Treacherous mining operations • Lush valleys with sacred temples • Legendary treasures hidden in uncharted territories across space"

Furthermore, three new pieces of concept art was released:

Oddworld Inhabitants "making serious games that are seriously funny"

Co-founder Lorne Lanning told us about the balance between serious themes and dark humour in Oddworld: Soulstorm.

"Humour's always a critical part, and you know at the end of the day we're making serious games that are seriously funny. First of all, it's gotta be a great game, no matter what message you wanna embed or subtext or this or that - it's gotta be a great game because that's where people are putting their money and their value. And then hopefully it can be an inspiring game beyond just games."

Lanning went on to say that the team has had "thousands of stories of the influence that Abe's had on [fans'] lives, and one of the things we always do - speaking of lives - is infinite lives. That's because we never want you to be a loser, right, and there's nothing that makes me feel a loser like 'you didn't do it right three times, now do it all over damn it' and you're like 'that sucked!' That was a quarter-driven mentality, philosophy for making games, but for us it's like, you fail and then boop, you're reborn pretty close by to your last failed position and you can keep on going until you succeed."

Oddworld Inhabitants' co-founder Lorne Lanning was on hand at E3 this year to talk about Oddworld: Soulstorm, which we also got our hands on (check out our preview), and during the interview below we asked about the themes this game will explore, which will be a mixture of serious and funny.

"Abe starts at the bottom in the worst place you'd ever wanna be, and just through desperation of trying to stay alive and trying to help others that are in a similar circumstance, winds up starting to affect economies, shutting down factories, and eventually leads to uprisings that leads to movements that will lead to revolutions that will eventually change the world," Lanning told us. "So that's the theme, the story that we wanted to get back to - the slave that rises and changes the world after becoming public enemy number one, just because he's trying to do the right thing."

"We're building off the legacy of it, right, and it's always supposed to be funny. We have some pretty heavy messaging in there, but it's all like dark side of globalisation, let's laugh at ourselves, and that kind of black humour, like let's not take our problems too seriously but let's not ignore them either," he continued.

"Humour's always a critical part, and you know at the end of the day we're making serious games that are seriously funny. First of all, it's gotta be a great game, no matter what message you wanna embed or subtext or this or that - it's gotta be a great game because that's where people are putting their money and their value. And then hopefully it can be an inspiring game beyond just games."

Lanning went on to say that the team has had "thousands of stories of the influence that Abe's had on [fans'] lives, and one of the things we always do - speaking of lives - is infinite lives. That's because we never want you to be a loser, right, and there's nothing that makes me feel a loser like 'you didn't do it right three times, now do it all over damn it' and you're like 'that sucked!' That was a quarter-driven mentality, philosophy for making games, but for us it's like, you fail and then boop, you're reborn pretty close by to your last failed position and you can keep on going until you succeed."

A huge part of this Oddworld personality is the voices that are given to Abe, the Mudokons, the Sligs, and all the other characters, and at around the 9:35 of the interview below you can hear some of these voices in action as Lanning explains how they're used to evoke sympathy and make you care for your followers in particular.

GAMEREACTOR Finland reviews Goodbye Volcano High!!

Goodbye Volcano High ja musiikillinen maailmanloppu - Arvio

Dinosaurusteinien oppivuosi

By Petter Lundberg. Some translated highlights:

Goodbye Volcano High and the musical apocalypse. -Along with surprises like Dave the Diver and Viewfinder, Goodbye Volcano High from the KO_OP game house deserves its share of the spotlight. -Goodbye Volcano High follows the adventures of Fang, who is celebrating their senior year, in a world where dinosaur characters sketched as humans are facing a new one. Strange phenomena interfering with cell phone networks plague the activities of Fang and their friends, even though their thoughts wander beyond the everyday mundanities. -Planning further studies and piloting the band that Fang founded with their friends in the pits of the talent competition take surprising turns in the game adventure, which combines the text-driven storytelling of visual novel games and the relaxed music playing of rhythm games, mainly with pleasant results. -The story, which creates fear and tension towards an uncertain future, strongly reminds me of the indie adventure Season: A Letter to the Future (2023), which deals with the same themes. -In the spirit of the Life Is Strange game series (2015-), Goodbye Volcano High, which combines pop indie rock and interpersonal twists, relies on excellently animated scenes in its narration. The colorful Game World and the personable characters look like a modern Netflix animated series at its best, which would be fine to stream. -The excellent sound show and the music side make sure that Goodbye Volcano High is quite an interesting whole in terms of audiovisual talent. You can get a feel for the music composed by Omar Dabbous with the help of rhythm mini-games, which undoubtedly surprise you with their pace. -Goodbye Volcano High offers a special and interesting game experience for the winter days of the beginning of the year. -Above all, those who enjoyed the games of the Life Is Strange series should take the introductions of Fang and their partners to the test if the time starts to get long while waiting for the next Life Is Strange.
