Episode 8: Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites
"Welcome to The Atlas Loom, a thinly veiled Lance Reddick fan podcast." ~Dev
"Welcome to the breeding episode of The Atlas Loom. Buckle up."
~ Diana
Do you know what worlds tend to have in them? Creatures. Critters. Lil' guys. Loads of 'em.
Today, Dev and Diana talk about how you can design animals and monsters that fit into the ecosystems of your world, influence the culture of the people around them, or maybe cause some chaos by merely existing.
