Never seen anyone separate Lore and Worldbuilding, and now that I've seen this vid, my mind's pretty much blown. I'm into screenwriting as opposed to book writing, and this is CRUCIAL to making a movie. If you want to create an original and memorable experience/story, you need to take what makes your story unique (the worldbuilding) and apply it to every aspect of your movie in a creative way (lore). the audience experiences the world through the CHARACTERS, and therefore all good/critical worldbuilding is learned in an organic way; LORE. Lore is how the character/audience experience the worldbuilding, and how they are affected by it.

0:53, bro wanted to make sure you HEARD him

Worldbuilding is your grade school history textbook; lore is the sidebar/inset personal stories that you actually remember.

Great points man, imma def take in the lore building more into my project

I'm not writing but I am refereeing (yes apparently that is a word) a role-play game, and a lot of this can still apply. Only real difference? I do _not_ control the main characters, oh no.

fuck your 30 second ad

Wait a second. I wish as a Writer I had all the controle and can just form my characters. But in truth. When I write something that does not fit with the descion they would make to a 100% I feel that. I have more then one scene in my book, that I planed completily different but yeah my characters just said no to me and showed me hat they would like todo. I think that is when a character is truly alive in a story.

Wait, what? How was I not subscribed already?!😳 I've seen a few of your other video essays and I thought for sure I'd subbed before, but ah, well, better late than never I guess😅 Love your presentation and insights❤

I watched about 10 seconds of this and had to subscribe. Top tier content and compelling delivery 🔥👏👏

me:laughs in Orv and totcf reader

Lore is the human element in world-building, both in agency and in limitation.

soft/same might apply really well to eldritch horror settings. i'm a little tripped up on the diverse/same terminology, but i'll try to use Bloodborne as an example. from what i remember off the top of my head, the main weird magic you could do in that game centered around blood, bestial attacks, and cosmic spells. which seem diverse from the front end, optics side of things, because they're three different-looking kinds of magic? but i interpret diverse/same as more on the backend, magic doesn't need to all look the same so much as everyone as the same capacity to learn it, and/or it all comes from the same specific source. all three kinds of magic are just extensions off of studying and interacting with the Great Old Ones, learning their magic, using their blood, and getting infected with the beast plague as a result of said blood. there's this pocket of known, usable stuff, but we don't really know why the Great Old Ones' blood causes a beast plague or how exactly they can manipulate the cosmos. and the only way to learn these magics is to peel back the layers of reality and probably your sanity along with it.

0.75x speed

As I world build, I like to create small bits of info about various things I can put into conversations or notes the characters find.

Keep it up man! <3

Great stuff

this reminds of when I saw someone explain why naruto fights were so good, it wasn't just because of the cool powers, it was because why the fight was happening, almost every fight had a personal element and it's why they were so awesome, also awesome to see you back man, loved your worldbuilding video, hope you reach 100k soon

Wonderful video !! I just want to say that "making the character suffer" as to be meaningful. I know it's what you mean by it, but i saw so many plots based on bulling the hero without real growth or change (or not enough of it), that it needed to be pointed out

Just discovered your channel, can't wait to hear more from you!

FTA. I enjoyed.

Amazing work as always!

Glad to know I’m not the only one that hates the term “pantser.”

I have a base story in a world that fits it (imperial family killed by empire? Need a fantasy world with an empire. Other than the main beat of what my overarching story is I stopped dead in my tracks to build my world and have spent months doing so

its all nice to hear about this from a writers perspective but this feels like my life right now. External conflict, internal conflict all pushing and i feel just like you writers have fun with this story building i think God is with my story (sad face emoji)

Good point on the 'worldbuilding makes me so cool' side of things. What I feel is most important about a story is how it makes the reader/viewer feel, not how awesome the writer is or wants the reader/viewer to think they are.

For me, the story is most important. Lore and worldbuilding is there to heavily 'support' the story, to make sense of it.

Great video! I can talk about conflict all day so I am always glad to see other creators doing so :).

your production value is getting much better, have you gotten a budget increase?

Dude was tgat Daniel greene

Abbie Emmons has always said that internal conflict is the driving force of stories

ONE PIECE!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Where would harry Potter fall on that grid? That was the first and only thing I can think maybe fits in the soft and same quadrant...

Had a brain freeze trying to grasp everything all at once! lol

bro hasnt yet read witch hat atelier

Note: visual world building vs world building through writing only is a lot different.

The highlight of my month (and, depending on when the next video comes out, my year 🙃)

You are ciminally underrated🙌 These videos are wonderful and so well put together

Can’t wait to watch this channel to continue growing. You do an incredible job. Editing and scripting are top tier and your presentation pacing is cozy as hell!

TL;DR (or just me trying to understand the video cuz I’m a little confused of what the points are, and also pls correct me) Internal conflict drives, external pushes back; External conflict still allows lots of character agency; External conflict can be a character or not a character (you can also think of it as metaphorical “character”) and can be anything that pushes the character away from their original goals even if not directly antagonistic and can be many things at the same time; Alternatively, internal conflict (as anyone would guess but I just wanted to mention it here to complete the list and hopefully be complemented or corrected in a reply) is anything that drives the character away from their original thoughts/goals through their own second thoughts… I think; The nature of a conflict limits their responses just as a character’s drives determines which choices within these limits (or outside of them if their creativity allows in the case of external conflict) is consistent for them (always think about limits, they’re what makes stories interesting). Their response also serves to draw attention to some element of your narrative, whether developing the character or overarching themes, etc; Make them suffer.

Feeding the algorithm god!

**insert giddy girly noises** Yaaay a Yinka video! I've been struggling with my main character and how to better develop her in my story. It's **her** story, but somehow I've written her companions and friends to feel more relatable and meaningful. My thoughts have been swirling around conflict and how to bring out more of her personality through opposition. So this video is *perfectly* timed <3

Your supplementary text editing was on point! :)

I thought u have left youtube or something. Glad to see u again.

Fantasy romance conflicts have become so cliché. It's getting cookie cutterish, what with all the twilight clone self inserts with hollow characters that are purely ractionary where the conflict is only set up to shake the knees of the writer, not the reader. /sigh

It may take a while but it's always worth the wait🔥
