Welcome to the third instalment of the Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath Development Diary! In this edition, we will take a look at how we have been working on increasing the fidelity of the audio for the next generation!
17 years after its initial release, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has returned -- and has never been better than this.
From GamesIndustry.biz: "Stewart Gilray, the founder and CEO of long-running UK developer Just Add Water has died.
Gilray has led the company for over 15 years, overseeing its growth as a provider of production and development services to various studios across the UK, including Codemasters, Rebellion and Bossa."
Sad news ... I was following his conditions on twitter. He was suffering from Covid-induced breathing problems.
RIP.

Why does this comment have so many dislikes? The OP just said his death is sad and cited the cause, which is also in the article:
"He was hospitalised with COVID-19 on December 20 and, after fighting it for the past few weeks, passed away today."
The first reply is someone saying he would have died anyway because "No one dies of having cov only". C'mon, lads.
Don't you know? COVID is nothing more than a strong cold, and no one dies from it. It's all government and WHO propaganda to control people's lives. (Obviously sarcasm, but nowadays this has to be mentioned sadly.)

Why are the dumbest people also the loudest? I’m glad your experience was a mild one but that doesn’t mean… eh, nevermind. Enjoy being stupid. Im sure its a blissful existence.
@bouzebbal: I worked on a covid ward during wave 1 and 2 in the UK and yes the majority who passed away did have underlying problems. It's a nasty illness though, watching people unable to breath even with oxygen was heart breaking. Plus they died alone as families weren't allowed in. Don't dismiss what it can do, we still had healthy young adults on oxygen who were very sick. It still haunts me what I witnessed.

Nothing makes my eyes roll harder than "muh free speech", get lost with that cop out bs lol.
Sad news, I started to follow his work when JAW were given the Oddworld remake project and continued to follow their work afterwards. He was one of the good guys in the industry - RIP.
Gamerhub sat down with Stewart Gilray, CEO of Just Add Water for a nice chat about the gaming industry and his incredible career so far!
Good too see that they are paying attention to all the little details in HD Updating this sweet ass strange western themed FPS/3rd person actoin adventure game.
Lorne Lanning's Oddworld is a world of bizarro brilliance.
In Odd We Trust.
