Wordlebuilding

Wordlebuilding is a worldbuilding tool that uses the game Wordle to generate maps of a fantasy setting. The colours and letters in the completed Wordle determine what the environment is like in each square of the map. I really enjoyed tweaking my mechanics to get the balance of natural features and weird magical places just right.

Wordlebuilding was my entry to The Wordle Jam, a game jam by Matthew R.F. Baloušek. You can download it for free or pay-what-you-want on my itch page.

A promotional image for Wordlebuilding. The game's title is written in capital letters against a white background. The letters alternate between green, yellow and grey in the same shades as those used in Wordle.

This Land

This Land is a collaborative worldbuilding microgame about natural forces, oppressive systems, and the people that live with them.

It was my entry to James Chip's Micro Fiction Game Jam (2021), for games written in under 280 characters.

Making the prompts both broad and evocative, within such a tight constraint, was a very fun challenge!

You can find the full text of the game for free on the jam's website.

A promotional image for 'This Land'. It's an illustration of an island shore, lined by trees. There is a rocky waterfall to the left of the treeline, and on the right some people are sitting on the beach next to a smaller rock. A large tidal wave can be seen in the background, against a clear blue sky. Below the illustration, the game title 'This Land' is written in a font that looks like neat handwriting.
