Thank you so much for this!! I've only just signed up and I already feel more inspired to write 😍

No worries! <33

@Aliyah this website is awesome! Thanks for sharing! <3

I like to consider the following 10 things as major ideas to cement into my world
1. Government systems
2. Aesthetic/general vibe
3. Recreation/sports
4. Religion
5. Communication (very important!)
6. Healthcare/Education (government run, every man for himself)
7. Social systems (very important!)
8. Currency (trade, money system)
9. Magic/technology (how those are used, why haven't people with magic taken over the world yet?)
10. Military/police force (private? government-run?)

It's SOOO cool. You can create your own character portraits. (I can try to upload a photo of the portraits I made.)

any tips on how to use it? i'm so confused haha

oh okay! i will search on youtube, thank you for sharing! i’ve been wanting some visuals for my characters just to feel their vibe and perhaps experiment with their looks to make them more unique and this looks like a helpful tool

oh i actually didn't have time to look into it properly (exams... *screams*) but i saw that there are a lot of videos on youtube, so that will definitely help

thanks so much nicole <3

Is this website for free or do I have to pay?

There’s a free version that you can do basically everything on. Of course there’s some limitations like you can only plan one world out and not multiple. But other then that, it has everything you might need for free!
