And yes - I know the place names on this map are corny! It's intentional!
Thanks, dw, it's beautiful! You're a great artist.
Hmmm
I'm using this rn RN
Is it mobile app too?
What is the name of these game?😅
And then you just immediately scrap the whole idea and start over again, at least that’s what usually happens to me 😂
Oh nah, keep the old maps around, they can be useful later on
@@thalmoragent9344Oh snap, you mean as slightly inaccurate older versions that characters keep finding by slightly flawed cartographers?!?
@@DamienZshadow I use them as inspiration for my new maps
@@thalmoragent9344imagine a rouge like that you progressed through all the old maps as they got better🤣
@@hazardousninja3921ngl it’s very satisfying to see how it keep transforming to the better one you imagine and planned in your mind
Meanwhile im over here trying to figure out how a river would realistically flow through the terrain and using mountain rain shadows to create deserts and shit.
Omg me to!
Yeah, me too. People couldn`t believe when i posted my first map, that`s really my first.
but ya got to first start with tithonic plate action, and how that would effect mountains, going into magma flow and air currents, and if ya really wanted to, first start by building the planet size, how it would revolve around your star, size of star, date, years, and at so much more
Same
@@groypitectjust slightly alter real geography to suit your needs, most of your readers won’t even notice
Fantasy writers try not to name everything after a modern term and adding 'ia' on the end of it (IMPOSSIBLE)
Funny, because its true. Kinda tired of this trope
ia does basically mean "land of" so it's reasonable if you're basing the country's language on Latin, or if it's just a translation convention "It's called Koz*lateral click*'nuz, but for my English-speaking audience's sanity it's Koznia." or something.
*coughs in making up random gibberish with google translate noise jamming*
Ayo nah I got hungaria and borgia
iaiaia
r/worldbuilding preparing to end your bloodline because you used an online tool instead of 36 ancient mapping techniques, don't have 3 degrees in archeology, geography, and Ancient History, didn't spend 8 years searching for the Holy Grail and didn't meet at least 2 Roman Emperors in person
I had to quit looking up videos on worldbuilding tips because I got so convinced that realistic meant good that I thought I couldn't make a fictional world without plate tectonics.
I've been doing my best to move past that, since it sapped the fun from my process.
@@theConcernedWyvern I literally had to keep reminding myself that hey, my world has dragons living next to elves from the moon. I can afford to be a little unrealistic.
Now let’s see the world history
POV: Stare at a blank page
@ebrimajallow9631 Truth be told that before existence, there was this
@@ebrimajallow9631...while "your new home" starts playing
Nah
I actually have some sort of world history for an isekai i want to write. Basically there were these two alien civ (the ancient, who came from the milky way and the elders, whom came from the wandering solar systems) long story short, these two had a war 7 milion years ago, both hybernated for an unknown reason. Meanwhile, the various worlds around the galaxy started to form sentient life. Then, about 75.000 years ago, some members of the two species woke up and decided to an experiment: they terraformed a donut-shaped world, put life from around the galaxy on it, and then put members of sentient species on it to see what happened.
"Pollutia, Urbania, Aesthetica, Galactia" Wow, such amazing worldbuilding
Intentionally on the nose. The world is tropes come to life.
“Alienia”
“Metaversia”
lol
Sarcastia
Whoooshia
Ancient Grome 💀
@@loretellerwrites who do they come to life for?
And then the players will proceed to spend 90% of the campaign in one town😢
Too real
My dm in a nutshell 😂 I feel so bad but then again his world is so fucking deep and complex so it’s like open world in the biggest open world game ever
And that's the beauty of worldbuilding!
That you're able to build an entire world or sometimes even a system or galaxy, but just a single random city has enough story and content to keep you busy for days if not weeks!
Maybe so, but think about how Disco Elysium was set in one small district, but you could really feel weight of all world, its continents (or rather isolas), its centuries, political systems etc.
Stopped using it recently because my projects just refused to save. Unfortunate. It defeats the whole purpose
what app is this?
@salmonbagel this was a while ago and it was inkarnate but I had to do some troubleshooting and it worked
@@PSVCHXPVTHXCGlad to hear it. Inkarnate is really cool and it’s free.
Wonderdraft is better anyways
App name??@@PSVCHXPVTHXC
Art tutorials be like:
Then the computer crashes you boot it back up but it either didn’t save or the save corrupted the one time you needed it not to and then you give up cause life has no purpose or joy anymore. The next day you get up start over again and everything goes well.
But it will never be the same as the first attempt.
Sounds like you went through ☠️
if yes, then continue the grindset anyway 🗿🗿🗿🗿
The transition and feeling of how to train your dragon music was just right
Yep, worked very well
Fellow HTTYD fans :D
The how to train your dragon music at the end was a nice touch
Fellow HTTYD fan :D
@@lianasmith3161 yes sir
Oh the memories.
So wait the music isnt from hunch back of notradme? (Spelling is hard lol)
No
Love the concept of a galaxy continent, OBSESSED with Caverns of Ill Repute, Ancient Grome and The Goose Matriarchy 😂
Tom Hulce as Quasi Modo was just mwah with the acting and singing
The feeling of creating your own world that you can get lost in is unmatched you just feel so proud
i NEEED to know what you used for this :o
looks pretty fun!
Inkarnate!
@@loretellerwrites
thankss!
@@loretellerwrites Thought so, they have a good free version (though I prefer AutoREALM and Hexographer because they're easier to make detailed if not so pretty maps in)
🎉 thanks for asking needed to know too
@@loretellerwritesis it free?
Spent 60 hours to make a world map, 30 more hours for the world history. It was so beautiful that I've decided to scrap everything and redo it two more times cuz I wasn't sure my players would have liked it, then downloaded a random map and went for it.
You should get worldbox, pretty much the same thing as this except you can place down people and watch them create civilizations and watch them progress in technologies
Problem with it tho is the ai is so dumb at times, like they just trade provinces at times
Thank you SO MUCH for making this short. I never would've discovered Inkarnate. It's so fun to use.
Man my obsession with realistic geography is holding me back
Once in 2018, I spent a month and a half detailing my own map using this program, I scrapped the first three ideas and the end result was magnificent. I still have it in a folder somewhere.
And then there’s me, who just sat for 3 hours straight analyzing the walking speed of the characters of my own story, and looking at how much sleep they got, to figure out how long they walked because I lost my old map, and had to re-figure out the distances for everything.
Worldbuilding is also trying to use Gplates and yelling at the computer because the measure velocity tool is not working right and it’s showing the velocity of that plate as going at ~0.07 cm/yr when I did the math myself and it should be going ~2.1 cm/yr and so now you have to just trying and use it without the measure velocities feature and what you end up with may or may not be possible.
I’m okay (but not really)
The dude would love the game world box
I was gonna mention that, I love actually being able to see people expand across the map and make their own kingdoms
I just cant handle the small details on the world maps tbh I always end up making the everything in a scale thats waaay too small and I end up having like a regional map instead lmao
Block in the big continents and divide from there.
I made a map that is 3.5 times bigger than earth but the map looks like a geography of Italy size 😂, the thing is, I just imagine that the land are just wide 😂
Thank you, for showing this website. My fantasy novel got stuck at one point, due the fact I never actually created the map for novel.
How’s it moving along now?
lol I was just wondering if I really even need a map ☠️ it’s so fucking annoying
@@LegendaryGigaNigga-zi4vu Love the name, but a map is definitely a good idea. Definitely doesn't have to be this detailed. But it's good having things set in stone like locations, helps you understand the terrain too. I just made an outline and called it a day.
Bro made GTA 10 Map 💀
"Ancient gRome"
Very creative!
I discovered inkarnate this year….fell in love with it😭 I’m 30 hours into creating my map for my fantasy world (for a book series I plan on writing) and I wanna live there
then you gotta make the most glorious lore
Worldbuilding is addictive. You can eventually make it so complicated, that you won't have the entire lifetime to tell every important story in it.
Me intricately building the world for an epic fantasy adventure i'm never going to write:
This will serve well in helping me build a fantasy si-fi nation
My laptop is so bad it can barely handle when I use this website 💀
For some reason I want like a story moive with this map
my favorite part of writing
The nostalgia of that song hits different
I love when I’m 80% done building a world but then I have a new world idea or I want the continents to be different so I just create a new world
There’s nothing like looking at that big ass map you’ve spent months making and thinking to yourself: “It’s finally done.”
At least, I imagine that there’s nothing like that, because I sure as shit haven’t done it
I PLAYED THIS FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT LAST YEAR I FORGOT THE NAME THANK YOUUUU🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What envision in my brain when I think of the map I’m gonna make:
Me when I actually make it: “oh this looks like cr-“
I am like this,when i have a planned story and a vision i struggle to create it,resulting in a crap map,and when i decide to create just for fun somehow i end with 1500 years of history a 40 countries(each with its own lore) and a Full scale pantheon
If you saw "Downundia," "Ancient Grome," "Alienia," and "Prehistoria" and still didn't get the joke, then you're too far gone to have valid opinions.
Making new worlds is so cool
Got to say this: I just started with incarnate and am loving it! Yours is absolutely stunning and inspiring!!! Definitely want to do more!!
Every time I hear that HTTYD theme I get chills and then I go cry on my bed for an hour
Agreed, it’s my favorite bit of writing a world
That space part in the top right is *chef's kiss*
Gotta love inkarnate
The perfect short doesn't exist......
I love Inkarnate. Use it for everything lol
You're right, everything becomes inevitably bigger.
“Ghibli hills” gave me flashbacks way back into anime’s made by studio ghibili
youtuber recommendation has been giving bangers after bangers lately.
i’ve never had the patience for inarkit or whatever it’s called
God has a TH-cam channel real guys this is the behind the scenes of how earth was created
😲...
This is beautiful. 😂😭❤
And the music transition is amazing. ❤
Puns. Puns as far as the eye can sea.
That looks epic
That music transition! My childhood.
Cool vid man
thanks gold gamer, stay gold
Holy shit. 😳😯😯😯
Clapd for you man.
👏👏👏
I didn’t save 💀
Very nice. I quite enjoy the detai- GOOSE MATRIARCHY?!
I actually used that cite for my own map!!! Of course it's still in the beginning stages, but its a start so I know the layout of where the characters go
This is a real gem 💎 ❤
HTTYD-
Thanks!!
Love me some inkarnate, use it for almost all my battlemaps
Video:👌
Music:🗿
Me: Makes map
FUCK, its just europe! *flips table*
Bro really made the galactic continent lol
*Wow, nice, I want this for my lore-roleplaying games.*
i aspire to have that same level of creativity
you mean getting lobotomized by an APFSDS 130mm tank round and then never having a single original thought again?
@@sukhoilauncher9925 no, i mean clicking stuff and making it look good
@@c00lkitty Have you tried clicking on paper with a pencil first. Drawing first will help you get better in any other art medium, most pro 3d artists have background in 2d art.
One thing Ive noticed irl especially in small towns is name re-useing ir just odd names in general, Albany Wyoming, Albany is also new yorks capital Bordeaux Wyoming, also a French port city, there was a place called Chugwater. Basically name re-useing is seen as lazy but it surprisingly seems to have a precedent although it may be trolls editing there's a non zero possibility of that but idk
Try to have more rounded coastlines on terrain like deserts and forest, and only save the ruggedy coasts for rocky terrain
Ugh i need my world map this good
Galactia got me lmao
What tool do you use for create this beauty ?
Great now I have to go renew my inkarnate subscription
Damn gotta be careful up in the north east, one wrong step and you suddenly in the asteroid belt
The song is so nostalgic for me😭
Remember when SpongeBob had to write his essay and finished with a fancy “The” on the paper. That’s exactly where I’m at in my journey of making my own story 💀
Oh god. I now need to know all the lore as I’m a big lore nerd.
Never let bro cook again
Tired of the comments saying it's good.
First fantasy map to not just be alternate Europe
fantastic!
The urge to name places and add "ia"like futuria,Desertia,Magania and etc😭😭😭
I wanted to get this off my chest but two things that annoy me the most about some world building is making a writing system that's just English 2.0. The only example I have of this is Star Wars with Aurebesh, pretty much every time it's used in the franchise it's just English because all the letters follow the exact same rules as English ones, even the name Aurebesh is Or-eb-esh so it has the same rule of making two combined letters make a different sound from the letters that make it so I question what point of having a different writing system is in the first place. I digress of course but my other point was when names are made a bit over generic. Over using the ending suffix ia was one I noticed like take a name. Let's say galaxy remove the y and put ia so galaxia, or just name stuff only expecting English speakers to see it or just not have interesting language variety at all. Just my personal gripes though
Inkarnate is amazing, I made my fantasy map using it, and I absolutely love it!
I was NOT Expecting the httyd music at the end
The map’s cool too ig
You're G.O.D good owner of dreams GOOD
That lake/sea looks a lot like Luxembourg!
i would have to draw this kind of map in ibis
“Cough”
Make gravity Falls or I will find where you live
“Cough”
You need to build some worlds for worldbox
"Ghibli Hills" sheesh man
if i could afford to pay for there services i might do it but the free stuff is okay at best
I just liked for the music
Music is Out There from hunchback and Flying Theme from how to train your dragon
