Storytelling for Digital Media:
Class Three—Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding

A rich and detailed world provideds more opportunities for varied play, and helps to logically constrain character choices.

These are the aspects of the world that you will need to consider:

Where will your character begin in this world?
Upon completing the major goal, where will your character physically end up?
What landmarks, rooms, and/or geographical areas need to exist for your character to get from the beginning point to the ending point of your story?
To begin with sketch these out in a linear fashion, rather than radially. Also, remember that travel time without other activities, and having to repeat activities, can get dead boring.
