Scenic

Well, it's three of us already! Three more! :D

No deadlines at all, this is a side-project. Anyway, I count atleast six people here (of course the more we are the merrier), so I'd say that we could officially start this?

We could proceed with the following steps: 1) A name for the project/fantasy world 2) A map of the world, or atleast a sketch of it 3) How we "generally" want to organize the fantasy world and such (we can define all the specific details gradually as we create wallpapers for it, that's the point of the project afterall) 4) Make the first wallpaper (or two) for the project, as a way to advertise it so that more people are aware of it and might eventually want to take part to this. The first wallpaper(s) could be collabs, this way we could show that it's also a joint effort and not just everyone working solely on their own (of course if one wants to there's no problem either).

Once we come up with the name (step 1), I'd say we can create a thread for it (and eventually sticky). An other note, if anyone is making a wallpaper for this project, whether it's a collab or not, feel free to discuss about its work in progress, concept and whatnot with the others. I want this project to be a chance for everybody to also share their knowledge and collectively improve, besides making something fun and challenging.

Sure it does make sense. We can decide to either make one single continent divided between different regions, or a couple of continents like your example. We should have a vote for this. :D

I'm thinking about a name, doing some research with some ancient names so that it has some degree of credibility. Or whatever. If you come up with something, post here any idea.

Anyone can join, as long as you are member of this group. :D

Hmm.. that could be a name for one of the regions or for a specific place. I was thinking to remain more on the "typical" fantasy fanfare, as that could allow us to be a little more creative with locations, since that's the whole point of the project in first place. We can have different regions and continents of the world with different styles (some that may reflect a more western-fantasy look, others that may reflect an eastern/asian look). Right now I'm thinking of something along the lines of Escaflowne's world, or even Final Fantasy's Ivalice in terms of how it's composed. Different cultures and looks but overall they're still "coherent". I don't know if that makes sense, heh.

Anyway, keep proposing names, then we can make a poll and let the majority decide on which name works best, keeping in mind that the kind of project we could be going for.

As for my suggestion for the world's name: Nalea . I got it with one of those random fantasy generators (lol), but I thought it sounded well enough as a name for a whole fantasy world, since it's not too specific. In my opinion a world's name has to sound a little generic, it has to convey a fantasy vibe but nothing else. Specific names have to convey specific regions, towns, locations and such, but for a world I think the name doesn't have to carry too many levels of meanings, as long as it flows nicely.

Before deciding the "sections" of the world, let's do the world's name first then we'll do an "introductionary" wallpaper to this world and then we'll plan the amount of continents, areas and create a map of it.

As for "Pangea", it's a good one but if possible I'd like you guys to suggest original names that haven't already been used. I'd still go for a similar kind of name though.
