Week 2

Game Spaces & World Building:

What is a game world?

In Game Design, a ‘world’ refers to the entire environment in which the game is placed. This includes geographical elements as well as the narrative.

Core Game World elements:

  • Geography & nature
  • Culture & technology
  • Politics & population
  • Supernatural & belief systems

In this workshop we experimented with creating our own story-line using a few examples on numbered sheets. I wanted to go for a more magical setting.

This exercise was helpful and expanded my knowledge on how to make a brief summary for a story.
