I mean, if it's something beyond a desire to write a book / make a game or else. Just a world you enjoy fantasizing about, or even note detailed map with its special habitants and peculiar places. The reason I ask is because I was wondering a bit these weekends and, eventually, tried to engage with such imaginary activity. That was something new and fascinating, heh~~~

So, yeah, feel free to share your experience!🩵

Yes, but in an ideological way, not a geographical one.

Yeah, I think it is easy to imagine a world that doesn't exist. However, I'm more interested in analysising real-world events. But writing your own fictional world requires too much effort imo. I just prefer reading other people's fictions sometimes.

Not in the sense that you described, but I certainly have in the context of writing a story. But world builders disease is a very real thing lol, though if you never planed on writing a story for your world dw about it.

@DesuMaiden

Sure, it takes a lot of time. I guess, one should spend hundred of hours to eventually create something profound and meaningful. Still, it's a cool hobby to try out even if it never goes too far.

@Akutsun

Hm, but what's that disease you mentioned? Never actually heard of it before.

It’s when an author gets so preoccupied/distracted with building their world that they never actually start writing their story.

But there’s a lot of people who just enjoy creating a world with no intention of writing a story for it, so it’s not really a concern in that case.

I always imagine a pre-modern world similar to Genshin Impact's universe.

I do come up with my own headcanon for various anime and video game worlds. I would write some fanfiction but I'm a terrible writer.

Yes I do that a lot there's a few (hundred?) drawings with characters in my worlds. Most of them are modern, tall buildings etc but sometimes I do medieval style, and use cathedral interiors for references. I even tried creating my own whole city, for a manga about an adventure to the city and have like 30 pages of lineart. I hate coloring.. it takes so long. But I sometimes do writing too and especially like writing fantasy.

@Akutsun

Sounds like some kind of creative procrastination. Guess, the causes can be similar as well. But anyways, we all need some time to think and put everything on its places, so it's only natural to get lost a bit in any activity, not only worldbuilding.

I was never able to form a team, and my ideas are always way too big. It's sad, because I had a lot of good ideas.
Are you into any of the RPG Maker programs by any chance? There is a large number of them, the most recent is MZ I think.

Every action we make has karmatic consequences btw. So yes, essentially we are creating our own stories with everything we do or say.

Yes, but I don't have the time to write the lore and details in a document. If had more time, maybe I would.

Sometimes, but I rarely commit to them for very long.
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.

I usually like to use the current world because I think it's interesting to see how this world would react to a bunch of shit going on.
If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece

Sounds amazing! ^o^
You could write your own story this way, the only thing is to find people to cooperate with~~

Heeey, Andrea, I don't see anything wrong with it! It's better to have your own colorful world then living in cruel reality outside of the window😅

Do you exactly write or draw it? Or you mean, you keep everything in your mind?💭
