Religion for Games X Astral Collision: A Practical Example | Part 5 (Finale)

In this final episode of this subseries, I hammer out the details of the lore immediately following the Astral Collision. This forms the basis of the state of the world as the game begins.

Religion for Games X Astral Collision: A Practical Example | Part 4

In this episode, I finish getting the pre-planning for the various worlds done. Next up will be the events of the Astral Collision itself!

Religion for Games X Astral Collision: A Practical Example | Part 3

In this video, I continue the process of fleshing out each individual world that I'd started last time. However, the sheer number of details I needed to work out for some of the worlds means that I was only able to fit in the next four. All of this work should help me make a way more compelling game!

Religion for Games X Astral Collision: A Practical Example | Part 2

In this episode, I begin to turn the base states I'd created last time into something I can more actively work with for the game itself. This is a process that takes long enough, I'm going to have to do it over two videos.

Religion for Games X Astral Collision: A Practical Example | Part 1

I decided to conclude my Religion for Games series with a practical example. This works out well to do, as Astral Collision, the game I've been making on Let's Make a Game, has really needed this sort of worldbuilding work done for it. There's a lot to do, however, so this is necessarily a multi-parter!

Religion In Conflict—Religion for Games

In this episode, I discuss how to handle the relationships between religions when worldbuilding.

Changing Your Religion—Religion for Games

In this episode of Religion for Games, I discuss how to change a religion once you've created it. (Hint: Human nature is heavily involved!)

A Deep Dive into creating Deities—Religion for Games

I felt with the previous episode that I hadn't discussed deities in as much detail as the subject deserves, so I've inserted this more thorough discussion into this Religion for Games series.

Building Your Religion & Making Astral Collision Part 7

The Saturday video continues my Religion for Games series. In it, I discuss the many aspects to consider when creating a religion for a game (or other worldbuilding endeavor, really).

In the Sunday video, I continue to work on Astral Collision, to the shock of hopefully nobody. I'm slowly getting initial playable stuff pulled together, which is exciting!

Religion for Games: Mechanics & Making Astral Collision Part 6

On Saturday, I continued my Religion for Games series by breaking down some of the mechanics that are currently in use. I find these mechanics to be very simple and shallow, but understanding why and what they do is a useful foundation for the parts to follow.

Then on Sunday, I continue working on Astral Collision. However, I've decided to try a new technique, where instead of recording me working, I instead work then record a summary. This produces a shorter episode that's hopefully more approachable. Let me know what you think!

New Series: Religion for Games & Making Astral Collision Continues

This Saturday, I introduced a new series where I talk about creating religions for games. I decided to start by making the case for why this matters. (Spoilers: There's a lot of untapped potential!)

Then on Sunday, I continued working on Astral Collision! This really shouldn't be surprising at this point...the game's got a long ways to go before it is complete!
