Hatunasi is an inverse pyramid sitting above the underworld. Except, what does that mean? What is the Underworld? In light of our conversation on the spirit world, it required answering and so today we delve into the top
The Lower Layers of Hatunasi are full of mystery and ancient civilization. Oh, and also monsters that eat spirits and now humans. Yes, today I explore some thoughts on these monsters and how they could be used and I even
With the Spirit World complete, I start exploring the implications for the world beyond, starting with Zoilena. What's their deal? What are the secrets they hide? How can it even stay secret?
It nearly broke me... actually, maybe it did... but, I have finally finished my thoughts on the Spirit World! This episode I put the nail in my coffin, I top this present off with a bow, I.... alright, I have sure I will
By now, you know the drill. I really need to get some graph paper out and figure this whole problem out. I inch every closer to what I want, and yet it still doesn't quite fit in the way I want it to. I could give in, bu
Another day, another barely coherent rambling about spirits and magic and the spirit magic system. There's some gems here, but I still get stuck and refuse to quit.
I get all philosophical about what it means to be human in this world. Kinda. Sorta. Continuing this dive into the spirit world and its magic is providing such delightful worldbuilding fodder and in this episode it bring
I did not realize the Spirit World was going to be such a complicated issue. But today I complicate it even further! I inch forward a few steps before falling back several feet, as it were. All good things, all good thin
I begin my exploration of the Spirit World. Specifically, what's the deal with spirits and fey? Is that what they even are? Are they intelligent? Do they have magic? Honestly, as I go into it, I realize I have way more q
I have some thoughts on Kianvale! Inspired by a lot of steampunk pictures I recently saw, I decided I want to make this dystopian utopia a pretty fun and epic place to visit.
Inspiration can come from anywhere. Even children books. Especially children books a kid wants you to read five times in a row. A book about guardian dogs leads to some fun ideas for spirit domestication.
I do a deep dive explanation on the current iteration of the magic system of Hatunasi.
We get more cartilage on this skeletal structure of Tarist. I touch on how I think the main faction powers are structured, what the third state is, where the power of each city comes from, and even a hint at a fourth pow
With our Tarist point/theme in hand, we now return to our city-state idea and start slowly fleshing them out, giving them distinction. We also start to wonder at the unity of Tarist over the last 100 years and in modern
It's a short one, but I figured out the theme and point of Tarist! It comes right out from the core ideas I had of Tarist as well as from the kind of stories I am actually interested in exploring. This idea is going to f
As I delved through earlier episodes, I discovered something interesting: I never formalized a theme or point for Tarist! No wonder I've been at a loss of what to do with it. Today, I start to rectify it and toss out wha
I start out trying to do some work on Tarist, yet I just can't find the mind to do so. I talk my way through a few unconnected threads of why I am working differently than before and eventually I create a tentative plan
We're building on some of the larger pieces of Tarist today, focusing on their technology and magic which leads directly to several ideas on the three factions of power within the nation. Nothing specific, but the bones
I finished reading Gastronomy in Mesoamerica, and while I did not get any major inspiration or worldbuilding ideas like before, there were still many fun little snippets that got my mind moving. Not sure how a lot of it
Worldbuilding is not always continuous and at some point we all hit creative walls where we don't want to do it. I did and I share what the last few days have been like for me. The stuckness we can all feel and the littl
