RE: January ProgBlog #2: building bigger

in #aer3 years ago

Super cool! I had no idea how big the scope of this project is. I haven't done any architecture or landscapes or anything besides characters yet really so this is really interesting to see. I definitely want to get into world building eventually.

Thanks ^_^

Looks like I haven't told you about the 2000 years worth of history I have written in a local wiki thing, or that the first entry for this project in my blog (not this hive one) is from 2005 and how the reason not much visual got done because I spent a couple of years nutting out histories and scripts and how I kept having to restart the 3d models because I kept improving so fast it was easier to start again than fix what I'd done XD I was so relieved when I plateaud in 2012 and could actually progress XP

So basically take as long as you're going to take and don't stress if you don't have a deadline ;D

This is my first actual foray into world building too, so far finding it a bit quicker than characters but I'm sure I'll make up all the time by obsessing over looks ;D

wow, are you planning something episodic or one big movie type deal?

have you ever read the wheel of time series by robert jordan? I'm not sure if he ever actually finished it before he died but back when I was into it he had like 10 1000 page books based in this hugely detailed world. sounds like you could be starting something like that =)

Episodic. Many, many episodes in "seasons" I guess (I will probably do it wrong because I don't understand how seasons work, they're just story arcs, anyway there's quite a few of them too).

I have read some of Wheel of Time, I'm pretty sure I heard that he hadn't finished it before he died but someone else finished it for him. I think I did at least somewhat enjoy it as I read 2-3 of the books but not enough to read all of them. He definitely just kept visiting some alternate universe rather than making all that up though ;D

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.
