Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this game development class:

Worldbuilding is an essential step in developing immersive, compelling stories and games. Even if your game doesn't have characters or a plot, it probably has a world of some kind. How do you create a cohesive, engaging world that feels like a place your players will want to spend time in? And how do you make it fresh and original without rehashing familiar tropes? 

In this class, we'll discuss basic worldbuilding strategies that work for any creative fiction project, as well as some considerations particular to narratively driven and even non-narrative games.

Students will participate in short worldbuilding exercises and class discussions. Laptops are welcome but not required—plain pen and paper is just fine, too.

Featured Topics

  • How much worldbuilding do you need, anyway?
  • Creating fictional worlds from whole cloth
  • Worldbuilding for real-world settings
  • Hitting the books: why research matters and how to do it effectively
  • Culturally aware approaches to worldbuilding: using tropes intelligently and avoiding stereotypes
