WORLDBUILDING

I've always enjoyed creating things.

​

When I was a kid, I'd design my own video games and write about them on sheets of paper or booklets that I made from A4s stapled together. I have drawers in my room filled with all the random games that I made up when I was still in single digits.

​

Throughout the ages, I did more creative things: I wrote stories (sometimes printing them out and giving them to classmates), drew sketches, made masks, custom themed packs of playing cards, painted bottles, and more. But the final form which my creativity crystallised into was worldbuilding.​

 

What is worldbuilding? The way I tend to explain it to people is, before Tolkein wrote the story of Lord of the Rings he made up the world it was set in- Middle Earth. That process of making up the world is worldbuilding. It's something I've done quite a few times since then. For each project, I'd write down all the information about the world in a word document, and then draw an A3/A2/A1 map for it.

​

As I got older, the worldbuilding projects became bigger in scale, more detailed, more complex, and were based off of an increasingly large body of research about history, politics, geography, anthropology, theology, and more.

​

The projects that I made, starting from the earliest projects when I was 13 and ending in 'Project 10', are detailed here. Mightiest, which has its own page on this website, is worldbuilding Project 9, but I continued to work on it after Project 10. Some projects don't have their own maps either, but those that do will have them shown here. Enjoy!
