    Oh god, I just thought of something

    What if "urchins" means street urchins?

    Odin is a child abuse/murder simulator!

    I though that this is what "The Sims" series was...

    I was always curious what the purpose of "The Sims" was and why I never quite 'got' it. I guess I know now lol.

    You can invest in amenities to keep your minions happy, including slot machines, pinball, cathouses and blink curse traps.

    Let me rephrase that.

    Is project odin the codename of any given (read, if in two years time you were making a roguelike simulator game, it would be called project odin) project you're working on :).

    Mining got me thinking... So maybe Project Odin simulates a small software development team creating a game called "Project Odin", although the name of what GLG is producing has a name other than Project Odin. Maybe the official name will be the Project 'Project Odin' in which you have to build The "Project 'Project Odin'" Project to produce a metagame within a metagame within a game called the 'Project Odin' Project. And maybe you use Diggles and Squid Deer as distractions.

    Or maybe it's simply a brewery simulator. I still haven't figured out which is more likely.

    It does, indeed, mean "street urchins." I don't think I'm giving anything away there.

    Brewing is important.

    Also, pickling.

    And you people are never going to let me forget about the blink curse trap, are you?

    DoD was called Project Orion if I recall, so no :)

    Would you actually like us to? (It will never happen. But I think you like the attention)

    Is it a game about "accidentally" having people in a work environment die to various dangerous machinery? Alien overlords.

    Does the slaying of Dredmor exist within the same universe as Odin? Because if so, and should the happenings occur in the same nation, then we can interpret monarch rule as Our Hero is summoned by the king to take out Lord D.

    This is a bit of a stretch.

    Well if Brewing and Pickling are important, maybe it's a restaurant simulation, and pickled Diggles are on the menu? Either that or they are the waiting staff and you have to herd them like cats.

    Just because governments answer yes or no questions with "no" and "no comment" doesn't mean that's how Gaslamp does things.

    See, Gaslamp are smart enough to screw with us, and aren't eldritch demons whose malevolent fey reach is limited by most ancient rules of conduct including the inability to lie.

    What, they aren't demons? But how did they steal my life and my soul from me then?

    You gave it to them on your own when you downloaded YHTNTEP.

    But that is how all demonic contracts work, isn't it? They give you a grand vision of fun/power/whatever you want, and all they want in return is a little bit of your soul.

    But that is the point. They didn't steal your soul, you partook in the deal on your own and thus you accepted the responsibility.
