ZUNGUNG-P: An Open Narrative Engine Exploring the Possibilities of Genre Flexibility and Hard Worldbuilding.

Zungung-P is a worldbuilding project set within the fantasy and low-fantasy genre, aimed at exploring the capabilities of hard worldbuilding, meant to showcase a propriatery genre - EGantasy (Elaborate Grounded Fantasy) that focuses on mechanics, evolution, physics, biology, paleontology, and other fields with minimal attention to magic and a thorough approach to authenticity of its solutions. Conversely, it is also a project aimed at assessing the capabilities of a single author given a comprehensive theme, but otherwise unrestricted by rules, genre tropes, volume and depth of text, with the sole goal being a retained cohesion of the created world and mechanisms within it.

In Zungung-P, common tropes such as elves, angels and animal-like humans are fully re-explored and reimagined through a lense of anatomy, evolution, biomechanics and biochemistry within the project with attention to hypothetical, plausible solutions to presented features through said scientific disciplines. Geopolitics, demography, geography, climate and many more aspects of the planet had been approached with the same level of scrutiny as races themselves, with additional exploration of speculative economic models, currency models, industrial approaches and alternative legal models derived from the specifics of a given non-Homo sapiens sentient humanoid species.

In addition, Zungung-P is meant to be an open ground for other authors to explore the possibilities of the EGantasy propriatery genre, providing an example of what the genre encompasses through the demonstation of the world within the Open Narrative Engine.
