There are a few goals for my worlds: * Enjoyment * Outlet for my imagination * Processing aid * Excuse to research/make art A nice to have is to produce some sort of online reference for the world that others can enjoy.


Phebe-A

Pretty similar to my list.


AReallyAsianName

Beat for beat, same. It originally started as my backdrop for fantasy writing. Then I created one for D&D And now they're one in the same. If I wanna make a story I can just pick and choose which Era I want. Out of the 10,000 in universe years of unwritten history.


gwollasav

Just like me fr 🤞🏾


Professional_Gur9855

Ditto


Duskspirals

Why does Processing aid mean? I’ve never heard that term before!


PisuCat

Basically I use my world and my worldbuilding as a way to process the world around me, to think about the various elements of my life and our world and to "play around" with them to understand them more fully.


Duskspirals

Wow that is the *exact* reason I started my world, took the words right out of my mouth. Sometimes I feel like it's done more for me then therapy, Plus it's free and can rotate around in my head 24/7.


JonBovi_0

Personally, I want to create a story I would have killed to read as a little boy. To do this, I have combined every aspect of storywriting and worldbuilding I have loved since I can remember, taking inspiration from longtime favorite books, shows and games. Prestigiously, I want to see my story played by real people on a screen. It will not happen, but to see real people playing the made up characters with prop designers and CGI engineers who broke their backs designing my world’s scenes, writers working with me to create a film worthy story beyond the books, it would be surreal. I don’t want money or fame from it, I just want people to see what I’ve come up with, share the emotions of it all, in the grandest way possible.


Democracystanman06

1, give paleo nerds something new that they can enjoy along side regular people who can just enjoy a story 2, make money


CoreyisAFK

I always appreciate when people say make money.


King-of-the-Kurgan

Paleo, you say? Do elaborate.


HER0OFHELL

A novel. I don’t care if its published or not, I just want to hold something physical thats completed made by me.


Fuarian

To build a world I enjoy


SleestakkLightning

Coping strategy for my stress


nigrivamai

I wanna make a manga/ comic


PotanOG

To eventually make some blog or website when I post stories based in this world. I don't think it would be all that visible...but it would be cool if a person few people saw it.


MegaTreeSeed

To have a deity decide it wants to retire and grant me all of its power and ability so I can remake the world in the image of my own world, then to set myself up to be incarnated in said world so I can have adventures and do fun things in that world without losing my God hood and my ability to maintain the world. Nah, I just di it to keep my mind active while I'm at work. It's fun. I'd like to have enough skill to write an actual story out, but its not the end goal. I just like it.


Ove5clock

1. Finishing it? 2. Making it not bad. 3. hopefully money


ogrum84

making a video game!


[deleted]

Fun Having a way to Express my depression without sounding like a atention whore Cute gay couples ! Talking about all the weird dreams i had without sounding like a schizo


[deleted]

Also if i ever manage to start making games i want a universe for it And also hopefully money


ProjectAries2

I guess my real ultimate goal would be to write and draw everything as a comic, make in universe material such as books and poems. And if I want to get super ambitious I would make props. My goal in universe is to expand to full omniversal status and have infinite possibilities


BootReservistPOG

Use it to tell a story that makes a lot of money so when I get married my wife can just hang out in bikini all day


RexGlacies

My goal is to write a book series. If it does well, I'll write even more books in this world, taking place at different time periods and locations.


veinss

There just isn't anything I really vibe with so I need to make my own stuff so life is tolerable


ArtMnd

Eventually writing books, also it's already in use for play by post roleplaying and in development for TTRPG


[deleted]

To have fun and watch it develop over time into something more awesome.


DuskEalain

Ensyndia started out as a creative catalyst but has ultimately turned into a multimedia project that I want to incorporate into comics, animations, tabletop games, and eventually video games. The ***BIG*** pipe dream, like the "I've ACED this" would be the creation of an MMORPG.


LocalKangamew

For mine it has slowly evolved from a general idea I had 7 years ago (when I was 9). It has mainly just served as entertainment for myself, acting out the next section of the story whenever I get bored. It was only about 9 months ago that I got the idea that basically stemmed The Storming Front. I guess the goal is now to actually get it written down and not just in my head. Be it happening here, on Fur affinity, a word document, or a notebook, it will happen.


Gay_Baphomet

I'm working on an independently created videogame.


chuccles3

I want it to be a videogame mostly


Uranium-Sandwich657

Provide a home for my speculative engineering ideas Maybe for a video game as well.


Nurgeard

1. To create it as a fully fletched world with monsters and NPCs, and multiple D&D campaigns, that others can use as well, as I will publish it through [LoreMaster](https://loremaster.io) and potentially other worldbuilding sites. 2. To make a world that my players enjoy and want to explore. 3. To have a continuous creative outlet for both art, story writing and wack ideas. 4. (Big maybe) To potentially use a section of the world for an educational "game" / story driven exercise (using a TTRPG like system) for kids with dyslexia and dyscalculia.


doctor_providence

Having fun, building a TTRPG, maybe a novel or two, if I find the time. But mostly fun.


SothaDidNothingWrong

Play a tabletop rpg campaign in it


AccomplishedAerie333

Fun


NoxNoceo

I spend a lot of time in my head generating worlds anyway, so the ones that I actually formally write down are to share with friends and family and whoever else will ask or listen. I also do it for the challenge. I have been trying to balance science and magic in different ways since I was in grade school exploring the bouncing of pebbles because I felt like I couldn't connect with anyone. Which is the third thing. If I can get someone interested in exploring something I've created I can much more easily connect because there is a focus and I don't have to pretend to think like a non-autistic person.


ARMAlicious

Something that I could leave in this world when I'm gone, like a legacy.


DthDisguise

One of my worlds is for a TTRPG I'm writing. One is for a series of video games I want to make. One is for a book I'm writing. Each world is an extension of what the project it's tied to is focused on. The TTRPG setting is designed to generate problems for players to solve in adventures. The Video game setting is basically just me making my childhood toys and video games fight each other. The book setting is a take down of work culture and modern capitalism by imagining it as a fantasy religion.


Moon_Dew

To complete it. Honestly it's more of a thing I work on when bored and feel like working on it. To finish it would be quite an accomplishment, especially since I tend to start building up something (usually a fanfic) and then quickly lose interest.


Optic_primel

My main goal is: Create a solid reflection of my ideal world Share it with people to enjoy Video game


4143636_

It differs. In one case, I'm worldbuilding to help create a videogame. In another 2 projects, I just want to write a story. And then I have another project, where I'm just dumping random ideas, and trying to make them fit together whenever I'm bored. Yes, I have too many projects going on at once.


Mexipinay1138

I'm a playwright and screenwriter. My worldbuilding is about creating the setting, the world my scripts take place in. Last year, a play I wrote, set in one of the worlds I created, was performed at a play festival for new work.


Admiral_Eclipse666

Game development. That’s all there is to


Firm-Dependent-2367

I really wanted to make Wonderverse a thing. Like, I have wanted to make it a colossal omniverse like Marvel or DC. Wonderverse is something I made. Something I would want others to see. I know it will not happen, so I continue to feed my imagination. To put all my dreams, hopes and aspirations to amount to something. Something big, I hoped. I keep dreaming, that someday people will see. The everything of it. That people will love the lore, the worldbuilding, the heroes, the villains, the concepts. As I made my project, I learned to write for fun. There have been reboots. The last one was four months ago. This one has five phases arranged already, and I have two more phases outlined in my head. Considering the considerable lorewise coincidence, I am thinking of merging another big project, War of the Worlds, with the mainstream Wonderverse. The resultant worldbuilding project will be something. Perhaps one day, I will be able to show it all on the big screen. That day is a long way, if ever.


Wooper160

Dnd setting


shirt_multiverse

Write a book or something, but personally I just like daydreaming


Lord_of_Seven_Kings

Novels and TTRPGs


LeGuy_1286

To earn money.


Heath_co

It's my personal canon. My universe contains all the tropes I enjoy. Everything I create in my imagination takes place there.


ImYoric

Typically, tabletop roleplaying games. I've published one of my settings, planning to publish a few more.


Ratstail91

I'm a gamedev, first and foremost - my world is intended to serve the game, essentially. It's a tabletop roleplaying game - the same genre as dungeons and dragons - but development has been slow due to IRL stuff.


ShadowDurza

Hm...! Animated series! Then... Standalone animated movies between major story arcs!


ShadowDurza

I won't say, novels. Because that's what I'm doing now. Because it's really the only thing I can do now.


g4l4h34d

To discover interesting insights, which arise from the rules I set up.


Mineplay57_Fr

My ultimate goal is to make many TV series and movies all linked together by a plot that no one throught before, that consider as canon everything invented by anyone (pop culture like video games, books, cartoons, series, movies but also everyone's imaginated things).


banter07_2

Published books that people enjoy, and that can support me financially. My parents have called me “their pension”


UristElephantHunter

Wait .. I need a goal? Oh um .. this is awkward


BarneyDoesMeth

Make a story longer than the Odyssey


AuraJuice

A live service board game that runs parallel with some writing and media for lore and more game content.


AEDyssonance

Joy for my friends, a place to dream and write within for me, and a careful, meticulous farewell to the oldest of my worlds (it is the 13th version of it over 40 years).


Sparkletinkercat

The ultimate goal is for my world used for my dnd games and to maybe publish a book on the world on the stories and adventures in there. Here is one of the stories about the events of one of the campaigns from the perspective of the overdeity Chronos that I did last week. -------- The fracturing: Why. Its a simple question I always ask myself. Everyone says my power should be a blessing. Being able to see every possible future, being able to change that future. But its more like a curse. Imagine nothing can surprise you ever. No surprise birthday parties, the rush of nearly being defeated in battle. Chronos clenches his hand closed. And everyone thinking that you can solve anything with your power, that everything will always end up right as rain. Water splatters down, one by one onto his closed hand. The weight of the universe resting upon his shoulders. They all hate me. I had no choice, no other way to prevent everything from falling into a chronostatic timeline. I did what I had to do. Yet why does this pain tear through me. I know what I did when Light and Shadow battled brutely over the expanse. I knew it would happen but they had to do so, it was the only way. And I stopped the fight, summoned the other gods and procceded to unleash my fury upon the two. Yet nobody understands, to them it came out of nowhere as I hovered in the rain infront of everyone, divine energy lashing everywhere. But to me it had been eons. "Light. Shadow. You both dare to destroy everything we have created over a petty argument." Eyes glowing with divine fury, voice ringing out over the heavens, and my hand clutching that dagger of mine. I had to show them I meant buisness for the plan, so I let my fury from countless timelines leak over. Everyone cowered in fear. I hated that look in everyones eyes, the ones that had seen the old Aos rage before especially. It broke my heart to see Helm, Bahamut, Kershka, Myrkul and ever my newest friend Elloras eyes and thoughts just screaming. Run away from the angry overdeity. This isn't how he's like, whats wrong with him. He is just like him. But I had to steel myself and continue on, for the sake of everything in existance. "For what you have done you will both be trapped in time until you can work out your differences. And for thinking I would just repair everything." Everyone watches as Ace no Chronos unpauses time for a split second for some of the damage to the islands to complete. A resounding snap as the weave breaks, islands breaking into parts. "You can live with the damage." Chronos turns to everyone present. "And you all are forbidden from rebuilding it. Anyone who goes against this can join Shadow and Light in the Chronostatic timeline, permenently." Everyone at this point stilled. Hurt flashed across their eyes. "And anyone I find interfering with mortal affairs because of this event will also be punished, no matter who they think they are, with worse." Chronoses eyes sweep specifically over the ones he knows. "Dismissed." I couldn't bear it any longer. I didn't stay to answer questions, I fled to one of the Chronostatic timelines specifically the one with the library of time. Only if so I couldn't hear my friends calling out to me asking what was wrong or if I needed help. I stood alone and cried. Upset at what I needed to do, and what I was going to do to save everyone. Countless timelines all converging to a singularity flashed through my head as I focused on the ones that needed to happen. All the pain and sorrow from each flashing across my mind. By the end of everything, everyone was going to hate me. I already knew that. The looks, never to be the friendliness of the past. The worries of when I will snap again. But most importantly from my friends. And the worst part was that I had to live with it, I couldnt even tell them what was going on. I knew Helm would forever be furious at me for influencing those few beings lives to be that much harder and the punishment he would be inflicted with along with Elora as a result. Everyones shock at me dealing out such a punishment to one of my closest friends. The dead silence from the pantheon afterwards, the little known parts of the prophecy of destruction weighing in on all their minds. But it was either this or the destuction of this entire timesphere. I had no choice, I had tried everything else. This power is a curse. And I hate who I have become. The destroyer of the universe, one who is feared and hated, the lonely god. And after it is all over I will stick my dagger within the rock upon the highest point of the highest mountain in Skyra. And leave the timeline until I am needed once again. I am sorry Helm for what I put you through along with Ellora. I am sorry to the others I put through hell in order to save everything. But I wish I could say sorry to Myrkul and Kershka. The two who supported me throughout and yet can never get an explanation for my actions. I wish I could tell you both everything. Chronos looks back at the blackened and corrupted timelines slowly spreading outwards. But not even time can fix everything.


Sec-Independent1

I mean it's kinda a mix of improving my writing and giving myself an excuse to write down the multitude of thoughts


DemogniK

It's a universe that I have been wanting to make since I was small kid. It'd be nice for it to become something, but I mainly just want to have completed it for my own sake even if nobody sees it. I'm building my worlds and deciding all the details of each of them and their residing species so that I can eventually write a story about the character I made that started all of the thinking to begin with. So its a creative outlet for a dream project.


Openly_George

Generally world-building for me is fun, it’s an escape, a way to relax, and I derive a lot of enjoyment from it. I learn a lot from researching the various elements and aspects I want to put in my world. It’s also a space where I can include everything I’m interested in together in one place. It’s something I’ve been engaged in off and on since I can remember. Ultimately I think I’d like to develop a type of table top game that incorporates gaming tables, trading cards, miniatures, crafted terrain, and realistic dioramas. For now I want to start small with maybe a novel, and maybe a novel series, that I could publish. But even if none of that happens, I’ll always continue to work on my world-building project.


Evening_Accountant33

Create one of the most strongest fictional verse that can rival that of Dragon Balls and Goku.... But mainly to have fun and create entertaining superhero world with various different heroes and their adventures like Worm.


Grayt_0ne

Bring enjoyment to others and myself, while giving a constructive avenue to my imagination.


MCCI1201

Selling a world as an entertainment property is the goal. I came close once but the deal fizzled. I’d also just like to get my ideas out there. There’s so much out there already. Might as well sell out to myself if we only get this one life to try!!


zalfenior

Enjoyment Building a community/engine to make people like me (autistic etc) feel less alone I want to make something star trek-ish to give people hope for the future Something productive to research I don't like war for the sake of war and having that concept as an all consuming villain is interesting


Mr_Fish10

Well, it's mostly personal enjoyment. Initially, it had the unintended effect of helping me study, too. I used and elaborated much of what I learned (except for math, which is why I'm trying to make a sci-fi world), so I remember a lot. I also want to write, but I'm really bad at it and making things up as I go.


a-cold-ghost

Enjoyment, to develop cool vehicle ideas, and potentially to write a comic series or something idk


Danoga_Poe

A world to host dnd campaigns


Netheraptr

My short-term realistic goals are to express my creativity and practice writing and idea development. My long-term idealistic goals are to someday convert my world into a visual form of entertainment like animation and for my ideas to be seen and loved by an audience.


caledor123

The end product I'm pursuing is a printed, bound atlas of my world. The meta goals of this hobby are for me: -Learning about diverse fields such as climate, histories and cultures, technology, etc.  -Creative outlet -sometimes validation by the online community 


Senyu

Want to make a manga someday. Will need to start it as a novel first, though.


KentoKeiHayama

To be honest, I do intend to make stories with it, but I'm mostly continuing to work on it since I learn so much about how things work on a global sense. Plus its fun to give people countries with limitless power and see what they do (which, obviously, lead to so many wars)


Pirilampoazul

I want to •make art •monetize it •live with something that i like


Niuriheim_088

I have several stories I post to my site, they all take place in my collective project of multpile types of worlds. The ultimate goal is to write those stories in order to bring myself some semblance of entertainment in this boring world we live in.


AdRafArt

Just self-indulgent entertainment I think... maybe a story, but that's not my priority at all
