# Worlding
“Emissary’s Guide to Worlding” is a practical manual by Ian Cheng, focusing on the creation and nurturing of living, dynamic worlds, blending artistry and psychology for immersive world-building https://worldto.live/
‘Worlds’ in this context are digital spaces that have their own rules, behaviors, and elements, which can evolve without direct human control.
# What can ‘Worlds’ be?
Stories, Systems, Entities, Intelligences Apps, Games, Simulations Brands, Merchandises, Businesses Families, Institutions, Religions, Nations, Cultures… You get the idea
Worlds are Infinite Games that can be continued outside of it’s developer’s control
- Purpose of Worlds = Continue Generating ‘Drama’ 1 extreme: Boring Utopia -1 extreme: Chaos that Falls Apart
- Aliveness = Evidence Usage / Creator’s Hold
# Rules are Not Strict!
- Starting from scratch is GREAT!
- Working on existing project is GREAT!
- New features on existing project is GREAT!
- See this as an accountability opportunity is GREAT!
- Create-a-thon!
# Rating 🧐
Here are the categories of Rating:
- Worldingness (How much of a world is it actually?)
- Uniqueness (Ingenuity & Authenticity)
- Technicality (Social & Infrastructural)
- Research (How much thought you gave to the project)
- Surprise! (Be-dazzle us with something we didn’t expect!)
- Forkiness (how easy is it to duplicate & expand?)
Each category is 10 points, we add all of them together
