I can’t answer that, I just ‘do’ - and there’s many more where they came from!
I usually make it up as I go along; it just needs to flow and then it’s all fine! C:
As for the whole creation process; the Paracosm took 2879 minutes + the time it took to create and edit the (over 270) original sprites - spread out over a couple of months. The Beyond is such an archaic idea that I can’t remember precisely how long it took to make or illustrate; it was probably less time than the Paracosm.
I study English, that comes naturally as well ;3
Overall, if I had any advice for dungeon creators, it would be to enjoy what you’re inventing. The minute you absorb yourself in the work and do it to please yourself rather than the crowds, then even a bad initial idea becomes a masterpiece.
I mean, it helps if you can sprite…
… and are willing to sacrifice a number of your finite hours upon this earth as well
I’m not convinced the author did either.
