🌍 The why

Worldbuilder in 30 minutes

WorldComposer is the living bible of your universe. The earlier you fill it, the more consistent your panels stay — AI pulls from it on every relevant generation. Here's how to set up a usable worldbook in one session.

🌍 The why

Why spend 30 minutes on this

Why spend 30 minutes on this

AI has zero memory between generations. If your hero has white hair on page 3 and black on page 7, that's on you — not the model. The worldbook gives the AI a reference sheet it reads on every relevant panel.

  • Visual consistency of characters from panel to panel.
  • Entries you mark public show up under the 'Universe' tab on your public work page — useful for readers who want to dig in.
  • You reuse all of this for follow-up chapters — it's an investment, not a cost.

👤 First entry

Create your first character or location

Create your first character or location

Open WorldComposer from your work. Click 'New entry' and pick a kind: Character, Location, Object, Faction. Name + a short description (3-5 lines) is enough to start.

  • Character: age, appearance, typical clothing, personality traits.
  • Location: mood, era, visual landmarks (architecture, climate).
  • Keep it short — AI summarizes anyway. Better 5 short entries than 1 massive one.

🎨 Visual ref

A picture is worth a thousand words

A picture is worth a thousand words

Upload your reference illustration OR click 'Generate image' to start from an AI prompt. The entry stores up to 4 variants as drafts — you can switch anytime. The reference image transmits to every panel where the character appears via @-mention.

  • Chest-up or portrait shot — that's what AI reuses as guide.
  • If generating: specify your work's style, lighting, age.
  • Drafts keep the history — don't panic if v3 is worse.

@ Mentions

The secret: @-mention your entries

The secret: @-mention your entries

In a panel or page prompt, type '@' and pick your entry. AI then injects the description + image of the entry into its context. That's the difference between 'a brown-haired girl' and 'Yuna, 16, blue kimono, scar on left cheek'.

  • You can mention multiple characters/locations in the same prompt.
  • Mentions also work in panel notes and chapter descriptions.
  • The picker shows your worldbook entries + local NPCs scoped to the chapter (one-off characters).

🔗 Relations

Linking entries to each other

Linking entries to each other

On each character entry, add relations: ally, rival, family, love, enemy. This feeds narrative consistency when AI generates dialogue or scenes with multiple characters, and keeps the timeline readable when you pick the work back up 3 weeks later.

🗺️ Atlas

Map of your universe

Map of your universe

Atlas generates a real map (1536×1024) from a prompt — medieval fantasy, urban dystopia, tropical archipelago, your call. You can then drop your locations (Location-kind WorldEntries) on it as waypoints. Optional but immersive for adventure / fantasy works.

📚 Public wiki

Expose your universe to readers

Expose your universe to readers

Each entry has a 'Public in wiki' toggle. When you flip the master public-wiki switch on your work, a 'Universe' tab appears on your public work page — readers can browse entries you've marked public. Everything else stays private (author notes, spoilers, drafts).

✅ 30-min sprint

Minimal checklist to get going

You can polish later — the goal is ONE usable foundation before your first chapter.

  1. 3 main characters with reference image (15 min)
  2. 2 key locations (tavern, palace, school — whatever recurs most) — 5 min
  3. 1-2 important objects or factions (3 min)
  4. Relations between the 3 main characters (3 min)
  5. Optional: Atlas map if expansive universe (4 min)
