Bunce-Edwards’s first attempt at a fansite was a 2000 webpage on Xoom called ‘The Kennels’. It took the form of a conjoined twin [[Glukkon]] called Glasp taking the reader on a tour around the Kennels, which hosted one of each [[Oddworld species|Oddworld creature]] known at the time.<ref name="kennels"/> By 2001, the project changed to one more formally encyclopædic in nature called ‘The Scrabacombs’,<ref name="scrabacombs"/> but by 2002 this was renamed to ‘The Oddworld Encyclopedia’ to reflect his Oddworld Forums nickname.<ref name="websiteEnc"/> Despite numerous promises that the site was coming, only an FAQ appeared (in 2003)<ref name="firstfaq"/> before [[The Oddworld Encyclopædia]] finally launched in April 2006—although the April Fools’ Day joke articles were little appreciated by members of the Oddworld Forums given the site’s long-awaited appearance.<ref name="TOLlaunch"/>

Originally a personal blog,<ref name="oddblog"/> by <time datetime="2003-12-31T23:59:59">the end of the year</time> it had become a general Oddworld news site, and [[Xavier De Coster]] had joined as a reporter.<ref name="Xavier joins OddBlog"/>


By this time Bunce-Edwards had already created [[OddBlog]]<ref name="oddblog"/>—originally a personal blog but quickly evolving into an Oddworld news blog—and had made plans to have it join with [[Xavier De Coster]]’s [[TOGG]] and Oddsville’s [[Oddworld Archives]] to form ‘The Shaman Network’. Although De Coster eventually assumed Oddsville’s role of creating the Archives and most component subsites were already public, the project—incorporating The Oddworld Encyclopædia and renamed ‘[[The Oddworld Library]]’—was formally launched simultaneously with the Encyclopædia.<ref name="TOLlaunch"/> The Oddworld Forums became a sponsor of the Oddworld Library in January 2008 by adding a link to the fansite to the top of its banner alongside links to [[Oddworld-Web]] and [[Oddworld Universe]].<ref name="admin"/>
Despite numerous promises that [[The Oddworld Encyclopedia]] was still being developed, only an <abbr title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</abbr> was published (in <time datetime="2003-06-24T17:40:04Z">June 2003</time>)<ref name="firstfaq"/> over the next several years. <abbr title="The Oddworld Encyclopedia">TOE</abbr> finally launched in <time datetime="2006-04">April 2006</time>, although the first set of articles were actually fakes created for <time datetime="2006-04-01">April Fools' Day</time>, and Wil uploaded the real articles <time datetime="2006-04-02">the day after</time>.<ref name="TOLlaunch"/><ref name="April Fools Day is over"/> At the same time, ‘[[Oddworld Library|The Oddworld Library]]’ was also launched as the combination of OddBlog, The Oddworld Encyclopedia and Xavier's projects The Oddworld Graphics Gallery and The Oddworld Archives. The Oddworld Forums became a sponsor of the Oddworld Library in <time datetime="2008-01">January 2008</time>, and added a link to the fansite to the top of its banner alongside links to [[Oddworld-Web]] and [[Oddworld Universe]].<ref name="admin"/>


In October 2006, Bunce-Edwards and De Coster met [[Lorne Lanning]] and [[Sherry McKenna]] in person when they were attending the inaugural [[GameCity]] festival in Nottingham, U.K., where Lanning was delivering his keynote speech, ‘[[The Appetite for Escape]]’.<ref name="MeetingLorneSherry"/>

Bunce-Edwards and De Coster visited the office of [[Just Add Water]] in August 2010, between [[OddTours]] 3a and 3b, meeting [[Stewart Gilray]] for the first time. Bunce-Edwards was invited back to the office in November that year where he was offered the task of looking after the [[Oddworld.com|official Oddworld Inhabitants website]] and [[Oddworld Inhabitants Facebook Page|Facebook Page]] in his spare time.<ref name="JAW"/>

At the start of August 2011, Bunce-Edwards began working in the office full-time with the job title of Studio Coordinator. His usual tasks include monitoring of Oddworld fan communities, filing, watering plants and communicating with fans, job applicants, videogames press and potential merchandise partners. During the production of <cite>[[Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD]]</cite> he compiled the unlockable extras, contributed to the [[Achievements in Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath|achievements]] and decided where to place the [[RuptureFarms barrels in Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD|easter eggs]]. Although he had updated his Twitter and Facebook profiles to accurately identify his job with JAW, Bunce-Edwards did not declare his employment on the Oddworld Forums until 23 December 2011.<ref name="JAW"/>
After Wil learnt that the [[Just Add Water]] office was located a short train journey from where he was living at the time, he and Xavier visited the office in <time datetime="2010-08">August 2010</time>, between [[OddTour]]s 3a and 3b, and met [[Stewart Gilray]]. Wil was invited back to the office in <time datetime="2010-11">November</time> where he was offered the task of looking after the [[Oddworld.com|official Oddworld Inhabitants website]] and [[Oddworld Inhabitants on Facebook|Facebook Page]] in his spare time.<ref name="JAW"/> After visiting the office a few more times, he was offered a job and began working in the <abbr title="Just Add Water">JAW</abbr> office full-time with the job title of Studio Coordinator from the start of <time datetime="2011-08">August 2011</time>.<ref name="JAW"/><ref name="Beginnings of work at JAW"/>
 
His usual tasks included monitoring online Oddworld fan communities; communicating with fans, job applicants, videogames press, and other companies including potential merchandise partners; stocking the kitchen; watering plants; and being the company's health and safety officer, fire officer and first aider.<ref name="JAW"/><ref name="Wil LinkedIn"/> Wil didn't announce his employment at JAW to the Oddworld Forums until <time datetime="2011-12-23T20:04:44Z">23 December 2011</time>.<ref name="JAW"/>
 
One of Wil's larger tasks at Just Add Water was to organize the many archived materials from Oddworld Inhabitants into a central file system. As Wil worked on this, he noticed that the archives didn't contain certain images (for example, concept art of [[Fong Foo]])<ref name="Fong Foo art missing"/> and recognized that the archives he had access to must be incomplete. He was later gratified to learn that [[Oddworld: The Lost Archives|The Lost Archives]] had been found. Because he didn't have much art to organize, he never needed to make local copies of it, and therefore not much of it is amongst the Oddworld files he kept long after he stopped working for Oddworld Inhabitants, which are mostly documents that were buried more deeply. Most of the images he still has are marketing material for <cite class="videogame videogame NewNTasty">[[Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty|New 'n' Tasty]]</cite>, or familiar pieces of concept art that were regularly sent to the press or merchandise companies.<ref name="Wil maintains Oddworld documents but not much art"/>
 
During the production of <cite class="videogame StrangersWrathHD">[[Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD]]</cite>, he compiled the unlockable extras, contributed to the [[Achievements in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath|achievements]], and decided where to place the [[RuptureFarms barrels in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD|RuptureFarms barrels]] (although Stewart Gilray and [[Liam Jones]] had to veto some of his suggestions).<ref name="JAW"/><ref name="Liam has opinions about barrel placement"/><ref name="Liam stopped a bad barrel placement"/> One morning in <time datetime="2012-10-08">2012</time>, Wil arrived at [[JAW Towers]] to find that his workspace had been decorated with sticky notes to celebrate his birthday.<ref name="sticky notes on his workspace"/> He once posted a ‘Rule 34’ fanart of [[Stranger]] on the office art boards,<ref name="Rule 34 in JAW Towers"/> but was told to remove it.<ref name="Removing Rule 34 from JAW Towers"/>
 
Wil moved into the position of Community Manager following the redundancy of previous Community Manager [[Dan Morse]].<ref name="Wil LinkedIn"/><ref name="Dan Morse redundant Facebook"/> In this role, he maintained the Just Add Water and Oddworld Inhabitants websites, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts; coordinated with fans to provide community translations and other contributions; and attended gaming events,<ref name="Wil LinkedIn"/> including [[E3]] in 2014.<ref name="Wil on TheSixthAxis podcast"/>
 
Speaking to Pocket Gamer, [[Lorne Lanning]] descibed Wil as ‘<q cite="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4XRupPJpg4">our biggest fan</q>’, whose role at Just Add Water was as an Oddworld subject matter expert for the development team to consult on matters of authenticity and consistency. He added that they had had ‘<q cite="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4XRupPJpg4">hours' discussions on Skype</q>’ about Oddworld, including questions from the fan community.<ref name="Lorne talks Wil to Pocket Gamer"/>{{rp|at=1.21}}
 
=== Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty ===
Wil was responsible for several references, puns and in-jokes in the updated presentation [[Molluck]] gives to the [[Glukkon]]s in [[RuptureFarms]] at the start of <cite class="videogame NewNTasty">[[Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty]]</cite>.<ref name="Wil added references in New 'n' Tasty presentation"/> He also added several new [[LED screen]] messages to <cite class="videogame NewNTasty">New 'n' Tasty</cite>, some of which were copied from, modified from, or inspired by hourly announcements made on the [[Furcadia|Oddworld Dream]] community project to which he'd previously contributed.<ref name="Wil included Dream messages in New 'n' Tasty"/><ref name="Dream messages in New 'n' Tasty"/> He also included a reference to [[Mr Ryce]], a character from an unpublished [[Oddworld film]] script.<ref name="Mr Ryce in New 'n' Tasty"/>
 
{{New 'n' Tasty LED screen messages from Oddworld Furcadia dream}}
 
As well as contributing to the game manual,<ref name="Wil contributes to New 'n' Tasty instructions"/> Wil also proposed a few extra cutscenes ‘<q cite="https://owforums.net/showthread.php?p=591712#post591712">showing more of Molluck's emotional journey</q>,’ and was given permission to script them. For this, he lifted ideas and scenes from early Oddworld film scripts. However, there wasn't enough time in the production schedule to include them fully.<ref name="Wil scripted extra Molluck cutscenes"/>

Oddworld fan

Wil Bunce-Edwards got an original PlayStation on , and on played the Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee demo on the demo disc that came with it. He got the full game in the summer of , and it was the fourth game he owned for the platform.[3][4][5] It was when he recognized Mudokons in a magazine that he realized he was a true Oddworld fan.[3][6][7] He joined the GT Interactive Software message boards in with the username skELUMton to ask what a Greeter looked like, and got Abe's Exoddus as a present on . When activity on the GTIS boards decreased, along with other regular posters he moved to the Exoddus Club, joining as billy_squeek on .[8][9]

From left to right: STM, Crashpunk, MeechMunchie and Wil at MudoCon (2012)[10]

Wil has attended several OddTours: OddTour 2 in Amsterdam, ;[11] OddTours 3a and 3b in London, ;[12] and OddTours 4a and 4b in London, .[13][1] He was also at MudoCon at Eurogamer Expo in as an employee of Just Add Water.[10]

Wil first appeared on Oddworld.com in [14] when three of his questions—about Raisin, the Meep Herder Village, and Alf's repeated disappearances—were in Dear Alf.[15][16] Wil joined Alf's Fan Club and Tea early and therefore received not only the ,[17][18] ,[19], and [20] Christmas cards from Oddworld Inhabitants, but also the batch of 1000 Munch's Oddysee stickers that were sent in .[21][22]

Following the release of the Oddworld Map to Alf's Fan Club and Tea members,[23] Oddworld Forums members One, Two, Middlesboogie and Kesiah noted a few inconsistencies between the events of the games and the information on the map.[24][25] Using these as a basis, Wil compiled his own list of errors and corrections,[26][27] which at the suggestion and persuasion of Xavier,[28][29] and despite his initial reservation,[30] he emailed to Alf.[31][32] Because of this, he was selected to be made a Fan of the Month.[33] After previewing and approving the third version of the Oddworld Map,[34] his Fan of the Month interview was posted in .[3][35][36] He later provided the Fan Quote of the Month in for saying ‘I hate reading misinformed media.’[37][38]

Oddworld Forums

Wil Bunce-Edwards joined the Oddworld Forums as Max the Meetle on ,[39] changing his screen name to Max the Mug when the Forums changed platform from ezboard to Ultimate Bulletin Board.[40] His screen name was changed to Wil near the start of ,[41] around the time he announced he was working at Just Add Water.

Wil began being called ‘The Oddworld Dictionary’ and ‘The Oddworld Encyclopedia’ at least as far back as .[42][43] The latter nickname became more popular, and was made Wil's custom title around ,[44] where it remained until .[45] After this, the name was used exclusively to refer to his fansite. However, his custom status remained ‘Oddworld Encyclopædia’ until at least ,[46] and ‘The Oddworld Encyclopædist’ until at least .[47]

Key Oddworld Forums features to which Wil contributed include Stranger's Wrath-themed user titles,[48] Oddworld-themed reputation levels,[49] and the final wording of the Forums' rules.[50] He joined the Oddworld Forums Discord in ,[51] and again on .[52] On , he posted the last ever post on the vBulletin Oddworld Forums.[53]

Member of staff

As part of the Oddworld Forums–Glass Asylum schism, Wil stopped posting on the Oddworld Forums in to move to The Glass Asylum,[54] but returned .[55] In this time, he missed the elections that resulted in Xavier De Coster becoming a moderator.[56][57] However, in he was elected to the position of moderator of General Oddworld Discussion and the Spoiler Forum by public vote.[58][59] He retired from moderatorship in [60] only to return as a Super Moderator of Zulag One in [61] In , he was promoted to the position of administrator, to complement Oddworld Library's new sponsorship by the Oddworld Forums.[62]

Community projects

Wil joined other members of the Oddworld Forums on Ajiellyn's Oddworld Dream on the online social gaming platform Furcadia, and contributed to its development by tidying up its code and refining the layout of the factory.[75] He was also a member of the Oddworld Forums Minecraft server,[76] and played the role of Molluck's assistant in DarkHoodness's recreation of the Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee intro cutscene in Minecraft.[77]

Oddworld Library

Left to right, Xavier De Coster, Sherry McKenna, Lorne Lanning and Wil at the first GameCity (2006)[78]

Wil's first attempt at an Oddworld fansite was a webpage on Xoom in , called ‘The Kennels’. It told a short narrative of a conjoined twin Glukkon called Glasp taking the reader on a tour around the Kennels, which hosted one of each Oddworld creature known to fans at the time.[79] By , the project changed to one more formally encyclopedic in nature, called ‘The Scrabacombs’,[80] but by this was renamed to ‘The Oddworld Encyclopedia’ to reflect his Oddworld Forums nickname.[81] In , Wil created OddBlog. Originally a personal blog,[82] by it had become a general Oddworld news site, and Xavier De Coster had joined as a reporter.[83]

Despite numerous promises that The Oddworld Encyclopedia was still being developed, only an FAQ was published (in )[84] over the next several years. TOE finally launched in , although the first set of articles were actually fakes created for , and Wil uploaded the real articles .[85][86] At the same time, ‘The Oddworld Library’ was also launched as the combination of OddBlog, The Oddworld Encyclopedia and Xavier's projects The Oddworld Graphics Gallery and The Oddworld Archives. The Oddworld Forums became a sponsor of the Oddworld Library in , and added a link to the fansite to the top of its banner alongside links to Oddworld-Web and Oddworld Universe.[62]

Among OddBlog's exclusive interviews, Wil and Xavier have interviewed editors Cathy Johnson and Mark Snoswell about The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants, and composer Michael Bross about Music From Oddworld Stranger's Wrath.[87][88][89] In , Wil and Xavier met Lorne Lanning and Sherry McKenna in person when they were attending the inaugural GameCity festival in Nottingham, UK, where Lorne was delivering his keynote speech, ‘The Appetite for Escape’.[78] OddBlog remained in contact with Oddworld Inhabitants and exclusively released several concept paintings for Citizen Siege and an Oddworld film.[90][91][92][93]

Just Add Water

After Wil learnt that the Just Add Water office was located a short train journey from where he was living at the time, he and Xavier visited the office in , between OddTours 3a and 3b, and met Stewart Gilray. Wil was invited back to the office in where he was offered the task of looking after the official Oddworld Inhabitants website and Facebook Page in his spare time.[95] After visiting the office a few more times, he was offered a job and began working in the JAW office full-time with the job title of Studio Coordinator from the start of .[95][96]

His usual tasks included monitoring online Oddworld fan communities; communicating with fans, job applicants, videogames press, and other companies including potential merchandise partners; stocking the kitchen; watering plants; and being the company's health and safety officer, fire officer and first aider.[95][97] Wil didn't announce his employment at JAW to the Oddworld Forums until .[95]

One of Wil's larger tasks at Just Add Water was to organize the many archived materials from Oddworld Inhabitants into a central file system. As Wil worked on this, he noticed that the archives didn't contain certain images (for example, concept art of Fong Foo)[98] and recognized that the archives he had access to must be incomplete. He was later gratified to learn that The Lost Archives had been found. Because he didn't have much art to organize, he never needed to make local copies of it, and therefore not much of it is amongst the Oddworld files he kept long after he stopped working for Oddworld Inhabitants, which are mostly documents that were buried more deeply. Most of the images he still has are marketing material for New 'n' Tasty, or familiar pieces of concept art that were regularly sent to the press or merchandise companies.[99]

During the production of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD, he compiled the unlockable extras, contributed to the achievements, and decided where to place the RuptureFarms barrels (although Stewart Gilray and Liam Jones had to veto some of his suggestions).[95][100][101] One morning in , Wil arrived at JAW Towers to find that his workspace had been decorated with sticky notes to celebrate his birthday.[102] He once posted a ‘Rule 34’ fanart of Stranger on the office art boards,[103] but was told to remove it.[104]

Wil moved into the position of Community Manager following the redundancy of previous Community Manager Dan Morse.[97][105] In this role, he maintained the Just Add Water and Oddworld Inhabitants websites, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts; coordinated with fans to provide community translations and other contributions; and attended gaming events,[97] including E3 in 2014.[106]

Speaking to Pocket Gamer, Lorne Lanning descibed Wil as ‘our biggest fan’, whose role at Just Add Water was as an Oddworld subject matter expert for the development team to consult on matters of authenticity and consistency. He added that they had had ‘hours' discussions on Skype’ about Oddworld, including questions from the fan community.[107](1.21)

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Wil was responsible for several references, puns and in-jokes in the updated presentation Molluck gives to the Glukkons in RuptureFarms at the start of Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty.[108] He also added several new LED screen messages to New 'n' Tasty, some of which were copied from, modified from, or inspired by hourly announcements made on the Oddworld Dream community project to which he'd previously contributed.[109][110] He also included a reference to Mr Ryce, a character from an unpublished Oddworld film script.[111]

Announcement from the Oddworld Dream LED screen in New 'n' Tasty
Attention all employees, this is your boss. All Sligs on Red Shift must report for mandatory target practice immediately. All Mudokons not currently on duty must report for mandatory targetting immediately. That is all. Off-duty Mudokons report to Slig bunks for target practice.
Attention all employees, this is your boss. Nominations for the next Employee of the Year should be submitted to the recycler in the Slog Kennels ASAP. That is all. Address all complaints to your nearest meat grinder.
Attention all employees, this is your boss. Would Mudokon repair workers please exterminate the Boombat infestation in the boiler room with extreme caution. That is all. Boombat infestation in boiler room. Address with caution!
Attention all employees, this is your boss. Due to the recent wage increase demanded by the Hunting Division, Sligs must take their Slogs to the meat grinding area by the end of the day. That is all. Trade your old Slogs for new and get free Slog chow.
Attention all employees, this is your boss. A fire drill will occur at some point today. Would all Third Class Floor Waxers report to the lab to prepare for immolation. That is all. Fire drill later today. Prepare for immolation.
Attention all employees, this is your boss. Sponsored landmine trials are now in operation throughout the factory. That is all. Sponsored landmine trials now in operation.
Attention all employees, this is your boss. Any meat found in your pants will be recinded without trial. That is all. Rupture Farms meat inspectors expect full complicity.

As well as contributing to the game manual,[112] Wil also proposed a few extra cutscenes ‘showing more of Molluck's emotional journey,’ and was given permission to script them. For this, he lifted ideas and scenes from early Oddworld film scripts. However, there wasn't enough time in the production schedule to include them fully.[113]

Oddworld Inhabitants

Left to right, Adam Savage interviewing Matt Glanville and Wil (2015)

After , Wil left Just Add Water and started working for Oddworld Inhabitants directly as its Community Manager. His responsiblities in this position included content creation for social media including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube; customer and technical support; liaising with distribution and merchandising partners; planning and staffing industry events; and recording promotional interviews and game footage.[97]

While in this role he wrote for the PlayStation Blog,[114], hosted a GOG.com livestream on Twitch,[115] and appeared on GINX.tv and Resero.[116][117] He also invited Crashpunk to JAW Towers to test the PC version of New 'n' Tasty.[118][119]

The last work he did for Oddworld Inhabitants was attending PlayExpo in Manchester, UK, in . Although he has not gone into details about the reason he left, he has described it as an ‘amicable split’ ‘due to circumstances at [his] end.’[120] He saw some early development of Oddworld: Soulstorm including the Slig Barracks and The Hijack (including the Slig Mama fight).[121][122]

Wil never visited the Oddworld Inhabitants studio, but stayed in possession of some equipment and display materials from working conventions,[123] as well as some files from Oddworld's archives.[99] Although he stopped being active in the public Oddworld fan community,[124] he stayed in touch with Alex Carroll,[121] Xavier De Coster,[125] and Manco.[126]

He has said that he doesn't want to work professionally on social media again,[127] describing online community as having evolved in a way he doesn't enjoy.[128]
