NOTICE - THE COLLAB DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED FROM 27 OCTOBER TO 3 NOVEMBER! No further extensions will be given!
BLIND WORLD COLLAB
Hey everyone! I'm here to announce the Blind World Collab teams! Please remember that your pieces are due by October 27th! Review the guidelines and rules on how to submit your piece here!
All teams have been randomly assigned! There are 16 total teams (15 with three members and one with four), a lot more than I expected for such an experimental and open-style collab! Without further ado, here are your teams and prompts!
TEAM 1:
@thenorf - "The Misty Woods is a completely flat, black plane of nothingness that exists on the edge of the world, with its only inhabitant being fog as far as the eye can see. This fog, known as "Illusion Gas", is what makes the world more than what it is, as it has a special effect that tends to morph the viewers perception of the plane based on what it wants them to see. One may enter the plane and only see a forest, where another may enter and see sprawling ruins. Another feature comes with this fog in which its illusions can stimulate one's sense of touch to make them believe what they can see and feel is true. Very few ever see the woods as the nothingness it is, and tend to only see a seemingly endless forest or plain, as it all depends on what the fog wants it to see. In a broader sense, the woods are a sentient being, and the fog is its brain. The world is essentially an eldritch being composed of nothing but mist."
@hekillzalot - "A gravity-altering device designed to destroy black holes by making them "eat" each other... unless it's used as a weapon, or "accidentally" unleashes a 1100 decibel explosion."
@plasmarift - "A slightly futuristic yet dull, dilapidated world, where powerless wires are over-abundant, interconnecting just about everything man-made, with some wires extending into the sky, while other wires extend over vast distances of nature and forests to connect with other cities. Plant and animal life is sparse and sickly, with some animals becoming entangled with the wires and fusing with them, becoming strange wired monstrosities that are like vicious dogs on leashes. Some say if you hold onto one of these wires, you can hear voices; it can be valuable information, gibberish, or something much more haunting and blood curdling."
@remi-le-oduen - "A world resembling our world in XIV-XV centuries, musketeers etc. But in this world vampires are real, they act in the open and their clans rule the city states of this world, fighting for control and, well, food base. Giving your blood to the higher ups is the easiest way to make money and joining the clan is the highest reward. The anti-vampire resistance exists but it's weak and unorganized. Also, to spice things up, a disease that is transmitted through blood starts spreading, threatening to disrupt the existing social structures."
TEAM 2:
@axonic3d - "An archipelago of islands, each conquered by a species of spiny or armored mammals such as hedgehogs, armadillos, tenrecs, echidnas, and others. The islands that each species lives in is suited to their being, and if it isn't then the structures they build over the land are designed to cater to their ways of living, even if it affects the island's existing ecosystem. Each civilization has their own distinct culture founded on the characteristics of their respective species. The civilizations are also at different eras of technological advancement, no further than the Industrial Revolution and no earlier than the Classical Antiquity period. Some civilizations are aware of the others; some work together, some are rivals, and then there are those don't know of the other civilizations or are well aware but prefer to live in isolation from them. Each island also has underlying evidence of a former civilization consisting of one singular species, featuring ruins that link all islands together to active life that has been enslaved, converted, kicked out, or eradicated altogether."
@OKinfinite8 - "Virtual World. Imagined or dreamed World. World Created by myself."
@polyredproductions - "A alternative futuristic world based on the early modern era of history where the French won the North American theatre of the Seven Years War and the Catholics won the Thirty Years War… (might change later)"
TEAM 3:
@zyolluax - "A futuristic civilization of stingrays who worship the second coming of their god, a sperm whale. They live in the sunken ruins of destroyed human cities and are at war with pistol shrimps."
@logan-scalia - "a modern day world where yokai once existed. most of the yokai where hunted and killed by conspiracy theorists and cryptid hunters in the past. now only three remain and they have to learn how to live with each other and fit in with modern day people and society."
@il0vejimmyurine - "A world run by clocks. It is a very psychedelic world and it is just clocks on everything ticking away. There isn't anything manufactured or man made, it's just clocks, (but the clocks make themselves)."
TEAM 4:
@happyexplorer - "“The Roots” is young and unstable reality, which cannot (for now) keep its structure without support; it attaches itself to bigger, more stable realities via multiple “roots” becoming buffer zone between its support and whatever is on another side.
The Roots exist in form of network of floating islands/rocks(“knots”) connected by vines and roots of plants, which dominate in this world. Among its habitants, flying, floating, and climbing are the most desired traits.
There is no Sun, no day or night; diffused light produced by luminescent pollen clouds, and shadow by heavy rain ones.
“Colour” = “Life” here, only living things like critters and plants have colours, rest is black-grey-white spectrum. Dull, soft colours are normal, neon oversaturated means extreme, magic-like powers."
@boiledmilkz - "This is a world where ghosts live as the dominant species as opposed to humans. The entire universe is a TV and the Earth is no more than a TV Channel where the ghosts and humans have to live their lives like a sitcom. The TV Channel number for Earth is Channel 69."
@aalasteir - "In a futuristic green alien society, smoking weed is mandatory, and everyone has to listen to The President's ironic parody songs about video games."
TEAM 5:
@simoes1000 - "A futurisc world where people have become robots. This is a pacifist world."
@zombieghost - "After the end of world war 3, 30000 years later. Magic is discovered from a mythical place found by the last humans after they get out of their hideouts. But new kinds of creatures are lurking in on the surface of the earth. Menacing any possible way of the human race to live in peace ever again."
@sheik13loz - "A world of floating islands in the sky, where people can control winds to travel in air with gliders. Steampunk technology has developed, with air ships to carry cargo between islands and large groups of people. Many animals developed wings and the ability to fly, and people form bonds with them as familiars."
TEAM 6:
@spagehtti - "Sword and sorcery like world with four main lands : cretians,czergovians,sentinala and the lanazhu. Each land has there own styles like European and Nordic something like that
There are also five smaller lands like ydralladth and bladaruut.
There are sorcerers, 3 to 4 for each major land and 1 to 2 for minor."
@serebetgm - "Steampunk concept"
@trandafirteodora - "A world where its inhabitants are simple 3D shapes(spheres, cubes, cones, cylinders, tetrahedra, pyramids, prisms etc.) with limbs. They are named "hedra" and supposedly evolved from humans 12 millions ago. "
TEAM 7:
@colorfulceleste - "An alternate 2017-ish America but with magic, furries, and even more geopolitical chaos than the modern world."
@thewolf257 - "In a post-apocalyptic world, humans use robots and scrap metal to survive, all the result of a great war that dried up the world and made humans adapt to the new world."
@silkcaesar - "The concept I want to pitch is that of a world inspired by Classical and Medieval Middle Eastern culture and aesthetic. Differently from what one may assume upon seeing it, such a world would be rather technologically advanced through a steampunk path. Lastly, this world would be enjoying, from an outside view, a golden age of advancement and peace, but such golden age is on its last legs as the world draws closer and closer to a catastrophic man-made event that will throw the established order into upheaval."
TEAM 8:
@polyhort - "An ancient, medieval world filled with animals that talk and act like humans, everyone also has guns and grenades and McDonalds"
@Triibot - "The world is a mixture of lush enormous forests that inhabit all the wildlife and industrial towers that inhabits the elf community. The towers are powered by energy orbs and are tens of thousands of feet tall and peeks beyond the clouds. The forest holds all of the animals on the planet. Some examples of the animals on the planet are bears with two sets of horns, bees with lightning shaped stingers, and butterflies that are 4 feet big."
@marek1shtar - "The world is a manufactured one, created by an ancient race that left their technology in, and on it by accident. The people on it are a cross of steampunk and cottagecore inspired by the technology left behind, that they fight wars over. Some of the technology is leaking a substance that mutates local wildlife into monsters."
TEAM 9:
@e-m-pour - "On a sunless, dying planet floating aimlessly through space lives an expansive subterranean civilization of mole people. With their current technology ranging from Industrial Revolution levels to Earth pre-WWII, they live off of the internal heat of the planet and its many underground biomes. Mole person habitations are scattered throughout the planet in various tribes and villages, with the many passageways, cities, and ancient technological marvels that span a majority of the planet's lithosphere being mostly abandoned after a steep drop in the population some time ago."
@tuffnuts - "Romanticized stories about cowboys, pirates, and empires with a little sci-fi sprinkled in. Trying to carve your own path to freedom and how to navigate that path. Themes about freedom, independece, and what it takes to maintain that freedom and independence."
@itstheroyaljester - "The World is cylindrical or separate chunks on a spiral, The higher you go, the more artistic and magical the people are, the lower are more practical and mechanical focused. Where the true middle ground is constantly shifts"
TEAM 10:
@httpsverookcom - "A strange world, a city that mixes semi-futuristic technology with moon stones, stars, light, basically "space things", but with a monarchy, a very cloudy place,
it's always night, everything feels plastic, like created by computer, it has population that look like a mix between light, living organisms and technology."
@micgronoldshtien - "The world of Almarnia is small, to the eyes of its Dragon Lords. Even with all of the Discoveries of its early modern era, their squalid kingdoms only diminish. Every mad experiment only made in service of their foul lords. Twisting the very nature of magic and reality, churning a dead world dry. Only a brave few souls Dare to stand against this Devilish Monarchy, and fewer return with minds un-knotted"
@inthenoweventually - "Disease has become illegal, and if you become sick you go to jail! This is because in the past the leaders of the world dominated the population by purposefully spreading disease. Now anyone who gets a disease is considered a potential usurper of the clean and healthy dynasty."
TEAM 11:
@superboi68 - "Across the galaxy, with many different societies and races.
Idea: gods roam the world as actual beings in flesh, looking across the universe for a people to look over and shape Into their ideal form of society. Gods can die by either another gods hands, or the society they claimed dies out."
@dynawizard98 - "Viking, Cyberpunk, Samurai"
@reanore - "A world where ancient Egypt meets steampunk technology. The pyramids and temples are powered by steam and gears, and airships shaped like scarabs patrol the skies. Desert cities combine pharaonic architecture with mechanical inventions."
TEAM 12:
@Fmconstellation - "A fantasy world where concentrated crystals drive an energy competition between kingdom and drives"
@oncehere - "The dream world is where people go when they sleep. It is a dimension where all people from all timelines meet. It also has native inhabitants that affect the lives of the people they interact with when they wake up."
@intrapath - "The sun has been extinguished. Not only has this lead to crop failure, an ice age, and widespread extinction across the globe, but it's discovered that the sun was repressing supernatural forces and psychic abilities across the solar system. Mankind finds new threats and enemies coming in from all sides, but they've also found the means to defend themselves."
TEAM 13:
@EmperorBismark - "A world very similar to our own in terms of cultures, history and geography. But in this world, magic, mythology, and the supernatural are all very real."
@ferstofus - "A chaotic world where living beings are constantly on fire, secrets of an extinct civilization hold the key to immortality and puppies are plants capable of photosynthesis and preyed upon by herbivores."
@can-dance - "A small dark world, where rarely do the clouds break from their storm to let the light peak through. Only on the highest peaks does the sun grace the land, and greenery grow and flourish. Seldom do the plants thrive below the cloud blanket. The constant lightning strikes on the ground have charged the earth with a utilizable power source. The creatures native to the planet have grown and evolved to use this source in unprecedented ways of travel. Phasing."
TEAM 14:
@coystags - "Guided age America with early prohibition leading to earlier organised crime and mass corruption. There's a general optimism in the populations but politics is breaking down as robberbarons and early industrialists seize more and more power. Also technology is strangely obsessed with circled and spheres, trains and steam ships are big wheels for some reason."
@noobrapter - "In a urban fantasy gas-station-punk world, we figured out the flora and fauna in the magic forests are excellent resources. The magic forests are growing so fast they have eaten up small towns and cities. The magical creatures not only want to protect the magic forest, but eat the people that disturb it's growth. "
@alewis36 - "A world filled with clean air, bright blue sky, and clear water streams and rivers. A lot of log cabins and solar engery house. People riding bicycles and scooters a lot more than driving cars and vans."
TEAM 15:
@emilyrose420 - "medieval Fantasy"
@picofetish69 - "mother nature taking back what's rightfully hers... an overgrown city, post apocalypse"
@sirdynamite - "A world inhabited by robot mechanoid people and the nature is metal in nature , but all technology is organic, like a computer could literally be a brain linked by nerves to the keyboard in some like HR Giger thing. In terms of how they get these resources, they have it grow as a natural resource in farms n such, people are solar powered with possibility for different race's having different methods of sustaining power. The planets general look isa kind of harsh jagged metal utopia"
TEAM 16:
@norubuxisdead - "On an island far from civilization, chibi Mario and Sonic characters reside and live in harmony together. This island is beautiful, it has grassy fields all over, mountains that reach the clouds trees of many sizes and colors, spiritic rainforests and jungles, there's even these massive waterfalls. This island may have a lot of beauty at first glance, but what lives behind those waterfalls are horrors beyond our comprehension."
@cappycatii - "An oceanic modern afterlife where human souls are judged by their past life's journey. Taking form as a piece of media, various inhabitants review it and see if their storyline is fascinating enough. If so, the dead are entitled to move on from this world towards their perfect world; otherwise they would be plunged into the ocean and restart their life again."
@armadill0h - "After a climate crisis, the world is converted into desert wasteland. Those who survive do their best to rebuild a new world, yet there are raiders who thrive on the chaos of this new world."
I'm super excited to see how these worlds come together! Some teams just so happen to have prompts that go together well, and some others have wildly different ideas! Every combination seems interesting to me though and I'm excited to see all the creative directions these 16 different projects go! One last reminder that you have until October 27th to get your piece submitted to me! Thank you everyone for signing up, if those goes well I'd be happy to host more of these in the future! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
