Crys' Summer Camp 2022 Pledge

Frantumare    Summercamp & WorldEmber      Crys' Summer Camp 2022 Pledge

Creative Goal

This year's Summer Camp will have me fleshing out my world. There are bits and pieces of lore I need to work on before I can actually begin implementing in my novel to stay in the canon. The major parts I need to work on are the locations, magic system, politics and currency.

Motivation

I've taken a long creative break and with currently being employed, I have more than enough energy and notes to work on my worldbuilding. I've dabbled into some games that fits the aesthetics and atmosphere of Frantumare's environment so it should work well when I try to come up with some articles. Plus, my friends have been asking for more content.

Expanse

Frantumare is... surprisingly vast despite its simple concept.
There's a lot of story to be told within the world and across the lands. Myths, fairy tales and character stories, there's so much to cover within a small broken world. I have several ideas for fairy tales and characters whose stories help shape the world and the current plot of my novel.
Strigea will be my priority as that is the starting point of my novel.

Leadership

Politics... something that I haven't thought that much.
Of course, there is the aspect of religion as well I need to think about. I have rough ideas for religion based on my experiences and a bit of politics after playing so much games that focuses on politics a lot (cough cough Dragon Age). Those bits of information and inspiration should help me in this aspect.

Discovery

Discovery is quite subjective. It could mean a lot of things.
A discovery of a new species? New continent? A self discovery? A revelation? So many things (and also spoilers) can be written for discovery. But I think discovery in Frantumare's context is about the past and lore of the world.

Monstrous

If you haven't read about Ashen Blight or Ashseeker, then you're in for a treat.
The monsters are my very first creation when it comes to worldbuilding. I used them during roleplays and fanfiction writing and put them through many, many reworks to be satisfied with the nature and design. Then again, Frantumare already have even worse monsters than the Ashseekers.

Inspiration

Video Games

Genshin Impact and God Eater are my biggest inspiration for my world. The vast worldbuilding and lore of Genshin and the monsters in God Eater are what encouraged me to reboot my previous world, Memoria, into Frantumare. Thanks to them, I have better direction with my world.

Music

I come up with Frantumare's concept while listening to Honkai Impact 3rd's and Genshin Impact's Soundtracks. Their soundtracks have the perfect balance of dark and light which is what I attempt to do with Frantumare. Some of the songs are Termination of Desire, Moon Halo and Anecdote of Divine Kitsune Guuji.

Plans to Reach My Goal

I don't exactly have definite plans to reach my creative goals. So I'll be going in blind like I did last two years and try to complete as many prompts as I can. Otherwise, I would be working on more creative works whether flash fictions or arts for my world and characters.
