worldbuilding

My basic idea is a world with a “string theory” where the strings are actual metaphysical musical strings that manifest magical effects when “plucked” a certain way.

Hi all....

In real life, that’s oil. In Dune, it’s spice. What is it in your world?

Basically, I have a sci-fi world with intelligent animals. The story is that long after humans disappeared from the Earth, animals eventually become intelligent and made their own society to replace them. One major development in their history is that predators and prey agreed to live in harmony, signing treaties, making laws,...

So basically, this is a sci-fi fantasy world with intelligent/sapient animals. Not anthros like in Zootopia, just regular animals that can all talk to each other, form societies, and develop science and technology. Obviously, predation is a massive, central issue to this world, being that it was the primary driving force of all...

This is my preferred approach on worldbuilding. I’m notoriously bad on thinking of stuff up front and what worked for me is to provide the details as the story develops.

What programming could be done with the computer and what is the highest level of interface that could be achieved?

I saw an interesting post on Reddit related to worldbuilding and I thought I’d reproduce it here for the fediverse. It’s from /r/Userfaulty and it’s about where natural resources would appear normally in the world. It might not be completely accurate but it’s a great start and inspiration....

For context, this takes place in my world with intelligent, non-anthro animals trying to live in harmony. This is part of the backstory of my main character and why she’s where she is currently....

Here’s one, from The Name of the Wind...

So the aviation industry in my science-fantasy world with intelligent animals is dominated by hovercrafts. They levitate and move by manipulating gravitational fields, and can move freely in any direction, are very quick to respond to control inputs, can hover in place or go as slow as they want since they don’t have a stall...

Kind of a weird question I know, but let me explain. I’m not talking about your themes or messages, but the general feeling someone looking into your world or imagining themselves in it might get about the situation, when the world is not in conflict. Basically, you know how when you watch a franchise like Star Trek, it has...

Hope everyone is having a great day so far!...
