ABSTRACT
In order to construct a Story Sphere, the first steps are to define its inner core and its outer frame before populating it with the layers and subsequent elements that will become parts of a rich story experience. The core is the Core Story Concept, the basic idea that everything should gravitate towards. The outer frame is the Universe, the setting that defines universal rules for every layer inside it. First and foremost, a strong core story concept needs to be in place. Once the Universe layer is added, specifics and uniqueness are added to the story experience, while keeping the focus on the character persistent. The Core Story Concept and the Universe layers create a framework inspiring the creation of more details, characters, objects, and so on. As a design structure, elements can be defined and replaced before the story is presented as one or more storylines.
