What kind of worldbuilder are you?

Just like the worlds they create, worldbuilders come in all shapes and sizes. From those breaking down barriers to create truly accessible open worlds, to those crafting escapist universes for people to lose themselves in. Worldbuilders are as diverse and varied as the audiences they serve. The kind of worldbuilder you

Audience

Are you looking to build a world to unite fans of you, your brand or your IP? Are you wanting to build a world that becomes a home for an existing community? Or, do you want to open up the previously inaccessible for an underrepresented audience?

Values

With an audience defined, worldbuilders need to consider what values they want their world to embody. What’s most important to you and your audience? Does it need to be fun? A playground for escapism? Or is purpose your primary concern? Is building a world that rights a wrong or unites a cause at the top of your agenda?

Location

Finally, where do you want your world to exist? Do you want to be on the digital frontier? Do you want to build a world in or across culture? Purpose lives and dies in the real world. Your world may cross over from IRL to URL but the causes at its heart are rooted in real experience.
