World Generation 0 : The story behind the world
So, you want to make your own World Generator, eh?
First, think. Imagine a world you would want to live in, or one you wouldn't want to come a hundred miles near of. Then, start typing. What are the main differentiating points of your world from ours? Is it a civilized world or a complete wilderness? Do you know anything about the world history? Put it all on the paper. Write down everything until you have enough written up so that I can imagine your world too. And so that you can write a world generator following just your notes. Then, submit!
Acceptance criteria
- Design and story notes of a new world generator are posted to their own forum thread
- Let us know on our Discord once you create your forum account, so we can approve it (antispam measures)
- Design notes contain at least basic geography of the world, it's flora (if applicable) and whatever other differentiating features the world has
- Story notes contain at least a few sentences about the lore of the proposed world
- The world should strive to be original and creative
- The world may contain even elements that would be hard to implement and that you don't necesarily need to be able to provide in the later tasks of this chain, for as long as they fit within the theme of the world
Rejection criteria
- The world is overly similar to a proposal made by another student
- The world doesn't provide any distinguishable features
