World Building Analysed | Creating A Popular New Universe
Is Juan about to create the newest version of LOTR or Gorillaz?
In Episode #493 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: the origins of various types of lore, how these worlds are constructed with varying degrees of complexity and interactivity, hard versus soft world building, a creator's control over the narrative, how modern technology and platforms like Fandom wikis allow easier access, the challenges of maintaining a coherent narrative in a world where anyone can contribute to the story and the strategy we would take to create a new universe.
Huge thanks to The Late Bloomer Actor for the support, greatly appreciated!
