The Encyclopedia Oddtannica
 
Hello, all. It is I, TheManFromMudos, and I recently came to the decision that the world doesn't have enough A-Z guides. So, I figured the best way to address this issue would be to make an A-Z guide. That, my friends, is where the Encyclopedia Oddtannica comes in. If you visit http://saulashbridge.wixsite.com/oddpedia right now, you will find that the groundwork has already been layed to create the single most comprehensive collection of Oddworld information the world has ever seen! So far, of course, there is only one page. I thought I'd start with the most important bits first, so if you visit 'Objects > L', you'll be able to read up on everything you need to know about... levers. Over the coming weeks, months, and possibly even years, however, I will be constantly updating the site, until it truly is a complete A-Z guide of everything Oddworld. Take a look if you're interested, folks. Thanks a lot,

TheManFromMudos

I like the concept, but the contrast of yellow text on a black background really needs to be changed.

Also of note, we have the follow websites:
You might find it easier to help edit the Wikia rather than manage an entire website by yourself, as the groundwork is already there. :)

Good luck! Looking forward to learn more about levers!

Thanks for your advice. I'd still like to try and make something of this, but as you say, there's always other options if it proves to be too much for me to handle. Also, I'm working on the background colour as we speak!

If it's a project of passion, you have all of my support. I do admire the tongue-in-cheek nature of your commentary on the website. Very Oddworldian. ;)

Hey ya! So i took a look at the Page & u did a really great Job so far! But, i dunno if u know, there is a Wikia Site out there. It's managed from the Forum Members here. The ARG is in it, too! Maybe u can do some Job there(too?)?
The Oddworld Creators knowing this Place also. They linked it (Senpai noticed us!!) at the ARG on Twitter.
Otherwise, u can take some Info from the Wiki for your Page. There can't be enough Fan Stuff of Oddworld. :)

Here is the Link if i u wanna take a look at the Wiki -> http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Oddworld_Wiki

E: I'm so slow. :( i need an Upgrade, Master. Can u hear me? An Upgrade!

Thanks a lot for your advice. I've already been involved in the ARG a little in the past, and I do already know about the Wiki. Just wanted to provide a fresh take on things.:)

Jup, Edited it. I'm sorry!
I'm still looking forward to your Page, as said, there can't be enough out there from Oddworld! Keep me up on Updates! :)

E: My english is so bad today.

Count me amused. I'm looking forward to seeing more pages added, especially if you continue to add entries like the one for the lever.

Though I am disappointed at the lack of images depicting the lever as portrayed in Munch's Oddysee.

Xavier 01-22-2017 03:52 AM

Fascinating read.

However I'm pretty sure there are levers in Stranger's wrath too

Oddey 01-22-2017 05:42 AM

Actually, I think buttons took the place of all levers.

Will you be working on your website anymore, TMFM?
