Scan of an Oni review
Mark Levin sent me a scan of an Oni review in a local paper, the "Daily Illini". The reviewer didn't seem to be very informed when it came to controls... Anyhow, it's up in the scans section. Beware of spoilers!

FEED on Oni's story
Now this is interesting, not quite Gamasutra, but close. FEED, an e-zine, took a look at Oni in terms of story and design with an interview with Hardy LeBel, who was the lead designer of Oni. It's a great read, so check it out.

Oni and Mac OS 9.1: Conflicts?
Saw this over at MacFixIt; there seem to be reports that Oni may conflict with Mac OS 9.1, although I myself being on 9.1 have had zero problems with the demo. Interesting tidbit, though.

Oni team joins Halo team
Harry here, alive and well. Thanks to Claude for stepping in whilst I was sick. Anyhow, I just read Matt Soell's latest weekly Halo update; and the big news is that the Oni team have now joined the Halo team to work on Bungie's next game Halo. More talent added to the gang, very cool!

What would you say to Oni tools?
Well, Harry's pretty sick, so I've been called in to do some updates. So here goes. To start with, there's a new poll up and running - "If we could convince Bungie/Take 2 to release some Oni tools, would you be interested?" It's a great question - head on over and make your voice heard! (Thanks to .derf for the suggestion.)
More reviews up
Three more reviews came on line today:
Also, as seen on the R.net forum, there's a pretty positive review in Stuff Magazine's February 2001 issue.
Dark Horse Oni Site Opens
Thanks to Bachus, who noted on our forum that Dark Horse has opened their Oni site, with new desktops, a contest, and previews.
Hints Site Opens
InsidePS2 Games has added an Oni Hints section - if you're stuck, this might be a place to look.
Downloadable Key Configurator
For those who don't want to use the online Key Configurator supplied by a couple of Bungie employees (and hosted by us), SniperGeoff posted on our forum a few days ago about a downloadable program he's created to do the same thing. (It's windows-only, because the Mac version doesn't need it.) You can grab it here.
Well, that ought to do it for tonight...

Catch-up on news
Yipe. I apologise for the lack of updates. Anyhow, here's what's been happening in the world of Oni:
Take 2 seems to have launched an Oni prequel...but don't hold your breaths. It seems to be WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) only. Read about it here. Apparantly the game will be available at http://wap.oni-game.com (Thanks Sean Phelps, Merripen and Robert Faulks).
Reviews of Oni can be found at:
Both MacGamer and games.macnn.com have some very nice Oni desktops. Speaking of which, if you head to Rockstar's downloads section you will find a new Oni desktop in various resolutions.

Wanna configure your keys the easy way?
So Oni doesn't have an option for configuring controls in the game. But the good guys at Bungie came up with something nifty, The Oni Key Configurator! Check it out, it's real easy to use and outputs a text file with all your binds. Special thanks to My modem is on fire and Yeroen!
The Oni community has grown
Ever since the release of the Oni demo in December, I have witnessed an increasing amount of forum posting and fan sites happen. I want to focus on the fan sites though; it's good to see some people do something for a game they also like. Below is a list of all the Oni fan sites that have recently popped up:
