Tell me about your world building techniques!
Hey guys! I'm getting deeper into my world building and keep shifting how I work on and use my outline. I switched from Miro to Obsidian after a previous post here and found it very helpful for the visual and file organization. I was wondering what techniques other people use to organize, and crucially, USE those notes to build out various projects. I suspect this depends on the end goal for the world, is it DND, a comic, movie or book.
My current approach is just building an encyclopedia of history and knowledge. I studied as a visual artist, but recently been writing a lot so I figured this could be a cool combination of concept art with documentation. In theory, this would eventually become just a companion piece to other stories within the same world in a mixed media format, spanning from. Books to comics to video games.
What about you? How to you approach your world building, and what's the desired outcome for you?
Thanks for hanging out!
