Worldology — Gameplay Guide
Overview
Worldology transforms traditional player progression into world-driven progression.
In this system:
- Player actions shape the world
- The world gains experience and levels up
- World level defines difficulty, scaling, and rewards
1. World Level System
How it Works
The world gains experience through:
- Killing entities
- Exploring new areas
- Engaging in higher-risk encounters
- Custom-triggered events (expandable)
Once enough experience is accumulated:
➡ The world levels up
