 The Oddworld games were built on millions in funding compared to the current games on portable platforms that are made with so much less.The 2D nature of the "Abe" games has also helped, according to Lanning, as mobile platforms lend itself well to 2D games, hence there is no judgment towards "Oddysee" and "Exoddus" for being 2D.The games have found success a second time on the digital landscape, due in small part to the guerrilla marketing possible with today's media, but more importantly because of the brand recognition that came from nurturing their original audience in the late 90s, which Lanning believes has them fortunately ahead of the indie developers pack.
