Just Add Water has revealed plans to develop for next generation handhelds.
The Oddworld developer has announced a series of job listings, one for a programming role working on consoles, PC and future handheld devices, hinting at 3DS and NGP development.
"It is preferred that you have PS3/360/PC experience," read the listing. "We are starting production on various projects for these platforms as well as Next Generation handheld devices."
It was added that four new games in the Oddworld franchise will be released this year.
Last month it was revealed that a HD remake of Abe's Oddysee was in the works.
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!

I would advise everyone to read this before feeling anything for Rime.

Wish there was formal legalities where they can fine developers for false advertising. That's irritating for expecting and getting excited for something that doesn't exist.
Something has to be done because any game shown in preview can possibly be faked. That makes me less interested for all trade shows. It's like who can you trust?
I forgot about this game. It's a damn shame it seems to be in development hell. At least Sony didn't scrap the IP entirely and gave it back to Tequila Works. I don't feel like anticipating this game anymore. It might not even get released
Yeah I knew something was wrong with development. I guess it's time to move on.
There is something really wrong being as no real updates or gameplay exist from a game announced in 2013
I was looking forward to this game, loved the artstyle but now I honestly fear we will never see it finished.
