The Genesis Interview

Every new world uses the Genesis interview. It asks three to five questions chosen for your concept.

Why it asks

One sentence can point in several directions. A city beneath the ocean could become hopeful exploration, corporate horror, political drama, or survival under pressure.

The interview settles those choices before the world is built.

What the questions cover

Depending on the concept, you may be asked about:

• the central pressure or opportunity
• how common power, magic, or technology should be
• who holds authority
• your intended role
• a boundary the world must respect

Each question offers clear choices and room for your own answer.

How to answer well

• Pick the closest answer to your intent, not the most dramatic one.
• Use your own answer when the choices miss the point.
• State one clear boundary, then describe what you want instead.
• Keep each answer consistent with the tone of the original concept.

After the interview

The four-stage build begins. Finished stages are kept if the connection drops, so a resumed build continues rather than starting from zero.
