Learn three techniques and three hacks to start developing your fantasy world like a character

Today's Topic – Learn to developer the world like a character

 

Much like we can define the type of Worldbuilder we are.  It is important to know how we want to develop our world. We can use evolution, stagnant, and microevolution. We are not talking the myths, but how to develop your world.

For these purposes, true evolution is not a great path. It would take way to build 13 billion years of history.  A However, if you join us today to learn about microevolution and three hacks to get us to a naturalist end without the time cost.

    • Weakness increases chance of change
    • Impossible to scale

  • Stagnant
    • The exist because I am
    • No Scale needed
    • You get what you want
    • Can seem disconnected
    • Think before you build
  • Microevolution
    • Pockets of evolution when needed
    • Look at the inputs to determine the output
    • More Scale
    • Approximates a naturalistic setting
    • Leave gaps that can be filled in poorly
