) What is Oddworld Inhabitants doing now? When will the Oddworld film be released? When will the official website be updated?

There are numerous misconceptions echoing through the gaming community, so it’s important we get this right. Oddworld Inhabitants is no longer a videogame developer: the company employs no game designers, programmers or animators. It is also not a film development company. It is purely a creative core of designers and storytellers creating tales, characters and conceptual artwork that will be brought to life by external development partners to be made into games or films. This is not a rare relationship. Many game franchices are owned by publishers who dictate what develop can make the next game in the series. The difference is that OWI is not a publisher, and Lorne and Sherry will remain the director of his works.

The reason for this is so that Oddworld Inhabitants can concentrate on what it does best: creating ideas. Before, Lorne would have to spend a large percentage of his time in administration. He can now leave that responsibility with the developers whose job it is to create the entertainment. It also means Lorne can—​instead of splitting his time between ideas, programming, animation, PR, etc.—​divide his time between different projects. This means several different project can be worked on at once.

The first example of this new business model is the current partnership between Oddworld Inhabitants and Vanguard Animation in the creation of Lorne’s first feature film, Citizen Siege. Contrary to popular belief, Lorne has not stopped designing games, and Citizen Siege, like all of his ideas, was conceived as a film and game at the same time. This allows his stories to be created as films and games from the same digital databases, meaning that future releases, including Citizen Siege, are likely to be released as a film and game simultaneously.

I have news on Oddworld Inhabitants that you all will be interested in. Although they've laid off their games team, It's now an 'Ideas' company. In other words, Lorne comes up with new ideas and concepts and other companies look at these ideas and decide to use them. They then work with the Oddworld Designers to create the aforementioned product (With the teams coming from the company, not Oddworld). So there might well be more Oddworld games in the future if another companies decides to make one :3
