Worldbuilding tutorial!
Added 2017-02-06 22:14:31 +0000 UTCSupplement for $10+ Patrons is up now: https://www.patreon.com/posts/8067117
It's tutorial time again!
This tutorial covers some basic tips on how to start worldbuilding for your project. Worldbuilding is a fun way to spend your creative energies, and when a well-developed world is paired with a comic or story, it may draw in an audience that will keep coming back to visit (there is something to be said for being able to travel to distant lands without a passport). But it's easy to lose track while worldbuilding, or to waste a lot of time while researching minutae, so this tutorial also goes over some common pitfalls to avoid.
A lot of worldbuilding is related to researching, so I'm making the research supplement (https://www.patreon.com/posts/6183462 ) available for all $5+ Patrons for this month as well. The supplement for this tutorial should be up tomorrow for $10+ Patrons!
Special thanks to Alex Ries/ abiogenesis (http://abiogenisis.deviantart.com/) for allowing me to use a map of his planet Chriirah (http://abiogenisis.deviantart.com/art/Chriirah-588088160) in the tutorial. Alex has some of the most incredible worldbuilding I've ever seen, and I really encourage you to check out his Birrin species and maybe be like me and subscribe to his Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/alexries/posts).
Hope you like it and thanks for looking~

Fun side distraction: Here's what the Euthanasia Coaster would really look like to ride: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_11Ut6unBQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_11Ut6unBQ</a> And here's a hilarious impossible coaster also designed to kill you: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWFxqOiqUbY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWFxqOiqUbY</a> lol the end of that second one is like "Just in case if you didn't die yet..."

2017-02-10 18:40:44 +0000 UTCErr... ah... I can't seem to find the supplement worksheet for this? Is it right in front of my face and I've missed it? I swear I spent a good 5+ minutes searching posts and using your tags to find it before asking :O

2017-02-10 17:30:32 +0000 UTCI like your inclusion of Abiogenesis' work. I definitely end up taking the "start from scratch" mode-although now I've formulated about 230 million years of future evolution in a story that takes place 4,000 years in the future...

2017-02-07 23:21:23 +0000 UTCHaha, yeah, I still keep a lot of the info in my own private folders, but most of the stuff that's in the comic has a page that is cross-linked to other relevant pages so I don't forget certain details. I also have a bit of info in the wiki commented out so that it doesn't appear on the site or expose plot spoilers, but is still there for me to check back on.

2017-02-07 01:31:45 +0000 UTCI had no idea the Meekipdedia was your personal info storage site (among other things, obviously)! It never even occurred to me that it was a thing you could do? I feel somehow enlightened.
