Аналіз методології побудови художнього світу (worldbuilding) як базовий етап проєктування медіапродукту

Abstract

This research investigates the methodology of worldbuilding as a foundational stage in designing media products within the low-fantasy dieselpunk genre. The study outlines a sequential deductive process: conceptualizing the protagonist's psychology, establishing macro-level logic (global mapping and functional environments), and creating an internally consistent physical system for fictional elements. By avoiding traditional visual reference compilation in favor of conceptual spatial modeling, the author developed a unique, cohesive aesthetic of "rust and salt." The integration of strict biological costs for magical mechanics enhances the realism. The results highlight how structured worldbuilding directly dictates narrative architecture and functional cohesion of the final media product
