Looks like Oddworld is going to finally release the Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath game on PC.

This is the last Oddworld game that I composed the music for. I’ve been hoping for a while that this would happen.
I’ve been using more guitar lately on my current in-progress recordings. Though I play and record guitar tracks on my music, I don’t consider myself a guitar player. I didn’t even pick one up until I began working on projects at Oddworld.
It’s an incredibly versatile instrument and, when used in conjunction with effects, the palette of sounds is almost endless.
Composer/Producer Tom Lynn has remixed a track, “Fighting Outlaws”, from the Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath soundtrack. I love it! You can check it out here at the Deep Lever site.
I just got a pleasant surprise this evening while perusing the latest Game Informer magazine (June issue). They covered the last Oddworld game I was working on when the company shut down its game development studio. With the unfortunate closure, the game, The Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot, was canceled.
The team had been working pretty hard on it. Our timeline for the project was daunting (we planned to finish it in approx. 12-14 months) but the upside was that the team was very familiar with the game engine (it was the Stranger’s Wrath engine). I planned to take the music in a direction that reflected the darker tone of the game and had created a number of early sketches. I wish we had gotten a chance to finish the project, but it wasn’t meant to be.
