We seriously need more of these.

This is just too good. I need this for every major city/faction of the game.

How much time shall we expect between the release of two worldbuilding videos? Two months?

RiotJellbugNov 20, 20179 votes

There's no current plan to do more of these - this video was done because Zoe's release coincided with the worldbuilding team finishing up a bunch of concept art + captions for Targon that we wanted to put on Universe. If you want more videos like this in the future, please let us know!

Well. We do!

And now you know.

(PS I got really excited when I saw you in the vid cuz you were the one who wrote Skarner's story, yes? One of my favorite pieces for League!!)

RiotJellbugNov 21, 20176 votes

oh my goodness you remembered! <3 <3 Yup, I wrote Skarner's bio + color text. It's definitely one of my favorite pieces I've written. I really enjoyed imagining a musical language of imagery and emotion. I'd love to write some more dreamsongs in the future :D thanks so much for the kind words!

JooshBoxNov 21, 20172 votes

Keep doing more of these Vids!!! I also really liked Dreamsong made me empathize with a giant crystal scorpion that's pretty hard to do...[zombie-brand-clap]

Hextech OwINov 20, 20174 votes

Well you should definitively do more of these!

I know we already got the lore updates, but I would love such a video for the next upcoming Piltover or Zaun champion.

And please, build in a biosphere somewhere. [sg-soraka]

After reading about them and seeing them on pictures, I want a story related to them. Having that nature oasis inside of the polluted Zaun sounds just magical.

RiotJellbugNov 20, 20174 votes

Oh man, I really want to read a story with a biosphere in Zaun now! :D

Chembaron YamadaNov 20, 20171 votes

Ikr? The idea of people trying to preserve some nature in an industrial wasteland always fascinated me. And I see so much potential how to implement that!

Most biospheres are held by chembarons in Zaun. I completely understand why the rework team decided to go a different route with Urgot (that guy was a huge success, btw, I love everything about him), but it means that we still need a chembaron champion at some point in the future. [sg-ahri-2]

Or maybe giving us another positive example from Zaun? Ekko was great, since he is a young boy trying to change this dangerous place to grant his family and friends a better future. Another Zaunite champion with noble motivations would be great. The Zaun Grey is still poisoning the people down there, maybe someone is trying to find a cure for this without requiring the people to replace their body parts with steel? Could even fit in the rebellious type of character, I could imagine an alchemist, trying to brew a cure for these problems. And since the chembarons own these biospheres, he/she breaks into them and steals plants for his/her own research. A plant obsessed scientist from Zaun would be something pretty new. And in general I would like to know more about the process of healing and medicine in general in Runeterra.

[sg-lulu] Sorry for the long reply, but I am absolutely in love with the places you created here and can't wait to see more.

Will there be a new worldbuilding lore for Noxus since Swain Swain is getting reworked soon?

RiotBioluminescenceNov 21, 20173 votes

I love the idea of the cultivairs too.

A garden that blooms like no other, perhaps?

Amasa DelanoNov 20, 20173 votes

It reads/watches like listening to someone tell a story that's been passed down for generations, which I think fits the Worldbuilding communication goal very well. I love it. :)

SkorchNov 20, 20171 votes

How about some more building into places that few people talk about like Shadow isles or the Void.

We expect you to be part of future lore videos. To have a friendly face that we know for a longer time, rather than changing the person each video.

Hey Jellbug, would it be possible to upload Demacia’s dev diary video and the artwork of their people and environments to its regional page on Universe too?

GarentheonNov 20, 20172 votes

Yes! I’ve been wanting this all year

RiotJellbugNov 21, 20175 votes

Passed your comment along to the awesome Universe team. I'd love to see the Demacia dev diary up on Universe as well! <3

Xodiathe4bdn1Nov 21, 20174 votes

man i hope that this is done eventually for all the regions cause it is a very well organised and informative structure

intro
people
architecture
environment
story
champions

its a lovely flow of information and it makes me feel like im reading a travel guide to Taragon [sg-lux]

You should do something like this for Noxus when Swain’s VGU comes out!

PlacentasNov 20, 20171 votes

More of everything! It would be awesome to explore more of the minor details that we get in some of the stories too, like the food & drink of particular areas and cities.

Chromatic EagleNov 20, 20171 votes

Don’t take this wrong, but do you all have an interview room? There was a lot of background noise.

Other than that I loved it. Could you make one about Demacia?

RiotJellbugNov 20, 20172 votes

Hah! We actually had to change rooms at the last minute to the PC bang where lots of people were playing games. We had to do many takes in a row cause of the background noise, so will find a more quiet place in the future :)

There already is a video about Demacia! Check it out here - https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/03/dev-diary-ant-in-oz-on-demacia/

I enjoyed the muffled background noise. I really felt more connected to the interviewers during the video.

MORE ABOUT THE LUNARI PLEASE elaborate more on the subject where they live? Do they have a city ? Is Diana actively Rebuilding the lunari on the moon and leading them as their Queen? ( that would be awesome ) What is Diana doing after she left the solari and killed everyone ( the elders and almost Leona ) How is Leona after almost been killed by Diana ? Are they enemies Rivals what are they in Actuality ? Go on detail on how Diana became Diana How she grew up? What she was doing and If she had any friends when she was on the solari temple Like Day to Day life Now that she is the only one in the entire lore to actually reach the peak of the mountain for helping that elderly woman ( aka the moon was guiding her to the top of the mountain ) How is she perceived by the other people who hear the story or witness the light on the top of the mountain ?

I want to know sooooooooooo much more about the LUNARI AND DIANA

Diana I LOVE DIANA SO MUCH <3 Diana

RiotJellbugNov 20, 20172 votes

Is Diana actively Rebuilding the lunari on the moon and leading them as their Queen? ( that would be awesome )

oh my gosh this is amazing! Moon Colony Diana skin where??

Have you read Diana's awesome bio + color text by Dinopawz? If not, check em out on Universe here! https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/champion/diana/

DianaIsMyWifeNov 20, 20172 votes

Wait a sec am i dreaming ?? [sg-zephyr] Riot actually Replied to me about a Diana thread or comment that i made OMFG am so excited

Read the Bio ???????????

Riot you are speaking to the BIGGEST Diana Fan in the world Right here OMFG

Moon Colony Diana <3

PLEASE CAN YOU CREATE A LEGENDARY OR ULTIMATE SKIN FOR DIANA ?

Ill Gladly pay 3250 for Diana if this happens but i want the skin to be beyond perfect :)

Btw why don't you gather 20-30 mains on a Live stream on twitch where the actual teams of every championover at riot lets say for example here Diana sit down And get opinions about a new skin? (but gather the most hardcore Diana mains Lovers like me and i am pretty sure the most amazing skin will come out of it :) )

Btw am just gonna throw this here its a thread that i made about Diana and Leona couple of weeks ago and got some traction and positive feedback if you guys DIANA CREATORS/LOVERS over at Riot have some time take a look at it :)

Slich BissiNov 20, 20172 votes

Ok, I don't know if people remember, but awhile back there was this whole massive event with Frejlord where people picked factions (Sejuani, Lissandra or Ashe+Tryndamere) and they reassigned certain champions to be Frejlord champions etc. You got an icon and all this cool stuff.

Can we do that...but also with these videos for a super in game region turbo extravaganza?

EROTIC RAID BOSSNov 20, 20172 votes

Can you guys do this retroactively for other regions? Mainly the art work. There was a lot of demacia art shown here https://youtu.be/pxjiCFo0NZM and some bilgewater etc art shown here https://youtu.be/kN07nKVR-eU that never made it to the universe site.

There was also a lot of art on your piltover zaun minisite (notably, the huge picture that starts in piltover and descends into zaun) that never made it to universe either. I actually brought this up at the time the demacia video came out and a rioter said they'd get that art onto the universe page but it never happened.

I'm a big fan of this world building especially the amazing art so I'd love to be able to see it in more than just a video.

Hextech OwINov 20, 20172 votes

Lucian was part of the latest stories (if i'm not wrong) of Bilgewater which happened during a Harrowing. But he is still from Demacia.

“Who are you and where can I get a pair of guns like those?” said Miss Fortune, offering her hand to the new arrival.

“My name is Lucian,” he said, warily taking her hand.

He showed up. Doesn’t mean he’s part of Bilgewater.

Olaf showed up, but he’s still part of Freljord

I just love how much they talk about how alluring Mt. Torgon is and it's great majesty but we'll never see a map of it but instead have gotten a map based off of skins.
