I have two worlds in which I tend to create content regularly. One is ‘Axculho’ – I created this one for my Bachelor Thesis from scratch. The other one is Airborn – Pino’s Journey. This is a project I’ve joined about five years ago. It started as a portfolio project of some friends and I was eager to help and design in this world myself. At some point they invited me to join and since then it has also become my baby.

When you’re building a world of your own for yourself you should really stick to something that really interests you. This may sound weird, but I saw a lot of people doing ‘something’ just for the sake of doing something. If you’re doing it for yourself, do something you like or are really interested in getting into more. The most important part is research and doing it properly will teach you a lot in that field. So lets say, you want to create a story set in a baroque chinese influenced state in a ~medieval world. You really need to dig into baroque and chinese architecture, décor, time and arts and understand the fundamentals in order to be able to find a link. The link should be something that can connect both themes in form and content. Building a world is all about research in the first place. It’s like the preliminary drawing of a painting – the base has to be solid.
