Oddity Reveal Teaser

Reveal trailer for our new title.
ODDITY is a surreal urban fantasy role playing game set in the Seventies. Play as Travis Fields, an ordinary boy who leaves home in a bid to save the world Travis takes to the field armed with a baseball bat and pellet gun... Along with powers he's only now discovering. It might have something to do with that "Gate" thing that blew up on an impromptu camping trip...
...Whatever the case, the world's in danger! People are crabby, demons run amok, the moon's covered in creepy ooze, a bear did something... And to top it all off, there's even a secret society called the "Modern Men" popping up lately. They might be behind all the recent kidnappings... But don't worry! You'll make plenty of friends as you fight your way through this weird and groovy world!
If you're looking for a roadtrip full of oddball characters and serious challenge with lots of heart... then ODDITY is for you!

I’d like to be the player now”.

[@earthboiproductions2407]

Wouldn’t it be funny if this was never localized for Japan Edit: Seems like people are still responding to this, so I'll take the opportunity to address the state of the game and give as much information on Oddity's development as I can find. Here goes! Alright, first of all, let's look at the official information available, and the information people are most likely to find first. The last (and only) post on this channel was this video, in January 2020 (2 years ago as of writing this edit). However, the official Twitter page was last updated later, on December 26 of 2020, with some artwork. Since then, there have been no more updates from the project's official accounts. However, if we look at the Oddity subreddit, there's a lot more going on. While there have not been updates on the project's official accounts, individual devs and project collaborators have given tidbits of information according to the subreddit. In March 2022, one user contacted the official concept artist and illustrator for Oddity on Twitter to ask about the game's progress, and posted a screenshot of the resulting thread on Reddit. According to said screenshot, when prompted about the game's progress, the artist responded "Everything is going smoothly. I did take a temporary hiatus from the project to focus on health related issues, but I had been keeping tabs on it." In addition, a dev named Maxxis in the project's Discord server also posted an update in March about the project. Here are his words: "I told you lot that I'd like to expand on communication, so here's a run down of last month - Harry recently returned from completing one of his many projects, and is working on tiling and maps daily again. Some new talent have recently onboarded to assist in workflow (illustration and in-game assets), and Pastel is still slaving away at the engine. Website layout is coming along nicely, and the "near future" is still near. Take that with any hopes or doubts, hopefully the former. Thanks for waiting." When asked shortly after if more people had joined the project's team, Maxxis responded with "Yes, trustworthy friends we've picked. Don't get the wrong idea, we're not in the position for another casting call." Maxxis is also active on Twitter, and in October 2022, he made a tweet asking if the community would be interested in development streams in absence of news about the project. In his words, "Opinions on #gamedev streams in the the absence of news? I can't promise when I'd start or the frequency of them." Most of the replies were in support of this idea, so he followed up in early November by saying "Thank you and everyone for the heartfelt words. Teasing is a terrible thing to do at this point, and I don't think any of us would want that - So I'll assure whatever happens would be in a very small, casual scope." On November 22, he tweeted "Is OBS the best software these days? My test to get this thing running ended horribly LOL" implying that there have been efforts to get game dev streams working. Now, let's look at the community. In absence of official material, the engine for the old Mother 4 project (which became Oddity) leaked, and a user named tvheadpal modified it to resemble Oddity, at least from its appearance in this trailer. This new engine is called M4ME, and tvheadpal has been posting on the Oddity subreddit periodically with footage of features he's gotten working. It looks very convincing, and it even has stuff like sound effects and music! The last post about it was on November 13 2022; looking forward to whatever comes from it. That's about all I was able to gather. Sorry for the lack of links... KZbin's filter will kill me if I add them. Actually, it'll be a miracle if this edit is visible at all. You should be able to Google most of it, though. Hope this information is helpful! As a wise user in the comments said, "If OMORI can come out, this can too!"

Honestly, I'm kinda happy the re-branding happened. Now that it's not a fan-game, it can be sold and you guys can actually make some money off your hard work, because you guys freaking deserve it. Here's hoping for a Switch port sometime after PC launch!

[@D_YellowMadness]

Plus being officially a fan game tends to come with unnecessary restrictions & writing flaws. Like when a fan game is based in the same world as the official work but it just makes the whole thing feel fake instead of feeling like an alternate canon. Watching a fan sequel is kinda like watching a dream episode. It's technically as fake as any other fictional story but it somehow feels even more fake. That's one reason why I like spiritual successors that use noticeable inspiration from something but are still distinct. When I was playing Portal Stories: Mel, I wasn't interested in any of the twist connections to elements of Portal 1 & 2 because I just thought "Well, ok but none of that's true so it's kinda hard to take it seriously."

[@totoro5874]

This looks utterly amazing. When you said you were making serious overhauls with the rebrand, you weren't joking.

Nice to see things like the scrolling HP staying, too. I never lost faith in this project, and to see it taking such a fine shape on its own feet us truly wonderful to behold.
