• What's the tone (dark, whimsical, epic, etc.)?

Understand Scope Needs

• How much world is actually visible in the game?
• What aspects matter for gameplay?
• What needs to be detailed vs. implied?
• Is this for a single game or franchise?

Check Existing Material

• Is there existing lore to incorporate?
• Are there character or location concepts?
• What art direction exists?
• What's already been communicated to the team?

Identify Constraints

• Setting constraints (time period, tech level, magic)?
• IP requirements or restrictions?
• Cultural sensitivity considerations?
• Platform or rating considerations?

Use this context to create appropriate world-building.
