I build the structure and general layout of the heart out from how I feel like the character processes the world! Which actually... does not work terribly well for me, since it means I have a very clear idea of heart geography and then idefk what to put IN the heart \:D/ but I like it and it makes sense to me. It helps me make a lot of very firm decisions about a lot of different aspects of the heart fast, like... Lloyd's heart is all one level and only has one manifestation, because he processes the world by relying on his sense of self and if that "self" was fragmentary it would break him. And I like using metaphors for the landscapes :') water and land and erosion. I will probably actually draw a map of Shadow's heart because there will be a special gameplay mechanic in there. AND THEN PUT IN MANIFESTATIONS AND MEMORIES. I GUESS.

Kind of only tangentally related to RP but HOW DO YOU MAKE PLAYLISTS?
