Chill Beats for Worldbuilding and Writing 

What's your favorite song in the video? Did any of them help you to feel inspired?

AS A HUMAN I ENJOY THE INDIVIDUAL WAVES OF VIBRATIONS PASS THROUGH MY EAR CANALS. THIS GIVES ME A GOOD HORMONAL RESPONSE AS ANY HUMAN WOULD KNOW.

although the robot didn't have a beating heart, the flame of imagination still flickered within its gears.

This single video has now fueled over 22k words of pure world building. I owe you everything sir, thank you.

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

to everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus. to everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. to everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. when you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. to everyone who is drawing, you got this. you're art is amazing. keep your head up (or down, depends on where your paper is) and remember that you matter.

This music does indeed make me want to create an entire universe just for the sake of it I always have had a few ideas floating around in my head just need to put them into physical form in one way or another

This is causing me to remember so many hundreds of ideas for worlds, art, games, characters, etc that I've had before and never actually done anything with or never finished what I did do, so many unfinished blender projects and partly written down ideas never finished because I don't have enough time or motivation

Thank you for this amazing playlist of songs. And yes, it did make me feel inspired to write my own story. I am now almost 11 years old, and today, on 18/03/2023, I have wrote my first story. As a kid, my imagination always runs wild. Even till now, I have a lot of stories floating inside my head. But finally, I have decided to write my imagination out. I have always dreamt of reading a fantasy book that was written by me. Anyway, thank you for this playlist and for inspring me for writing my own story.

There is something... fascinating (I think?) about this visual. Nevermind the inspiration it creates, just seeing a simple robot and his miniature companions wandering about on his desk as he writes on scraps of parchment paper with a bottle of ink at the ready, the vast network of pipes and machinery in the background slightly obscured, and the brilliant light illuminating the otherwise empty realm of metal as if to give this strange building a new "life" after some time of some kind of "death"... It seems to want to tell about it's own history despite saying nothing at all.

I love that Tale Bot is left handed, it makes him feel a bit more unique, even more than he already is.

Y'know that feeling when you find *exactly* what you needed? This is that. Holy crap I made so much progress on my writing during this.

Just wanna say that most lo-fi tracks normally have really loud beats and clicks in them and it hella distracts me. This is like the only useful lo-fi compilation that has worked for me to help me focus. Thank you for the bops my man.

Oh this is juuuust right

Wow, Talebot, that’s what you look like when you’re not a shadow puppet?

Can I say, thank god for this playlist. Everyday I get distracted while writing and eventually make my way through youtube's informational/essayist videos, and eventually this playlist will pop up, reminding me to actually do the writing and not just the "inspiring". That what I love about this channel. Y'all have put out an amazing amount of writing since the start of this channel. Would love to buy any self-published stuff for this channel!

theres something beautiful about a machine trying to create a book being capable to write what he can´t live , but capable to control what he´s character can do , being capable to have a morality in them , he´s attempting to imagine , he´s living his tale.

I’m not a novel writer or anything, but I am a Dungeon Master. This is great ambiance for painting miniatures and weaving campaign twists. I listened to this while painting the dragon for next session and brainstorming his monologue. And to think the party feels safe up in the cloud giant’s castle, muhahaha!

You know what Today I'm actually gonna start. Been putting it off for months but this might just get me in the right mood and push me to finally begin.

This reminds me a bit of the game Stray, where you play as a cat living in a world with robots that don't look too dissimilar from this one. Great video :))

Didn't think I'd listen to the whole thing, but here we are

As someone who makes stories and ocs not art but the characters themselves this is exactly what i needed.

Not sure if you'll actually read this but I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible works wether they be stories, analysis, or any other piece. These videos have been instrumental to me learning and improving as a writer, and broadening my horizons as to the sources for my own works. Here's to the one of the biggest inspirations I've found in some time, and hopefully to some day write my way into the world with some modicum of success.

I love the little things in the animations like the little people just hanging around

I will say. This is how I found the channel. I will never regret finding it. It actually watched the other content and found that spark to start writing again. No longer to make the greatest master piece that makes people think, but to enjoy the craft and what it brings me.

Man V1 really mellowed out after rampaging through hell

Ive been worldbuilding my campaign and this is just what the doctor ordered. Especially 11:59 gave me such a lovely background to write! Thank you

I love watching the little ones offering a helping hand

Nothing like piano high keys to get the blood flowing! This is great!

You know you got everything you need when you can watch some writing and worldbuilding tutorials, and then listen to some chill beats to do actual practice to, all from one RU-vid channel.

Sprite based RPG vibes right here. Reminiscent of getting to a part where you have a profound memory revealed.

"This mix is amazing, there are really some beautiful songs in here. "

I've been struggling to get back into writing because my workload has been crushing me! For the first time in the year, I have had a reprieve, but I kept stumbling to write this chapter. But this playlist... it's given me the power to get back to it, no matter how many times I have to rewrite it until I'm satisfied. "Transcendentia" specifically worked perfectly for a scene with two characters talking beneath a starry sky, about the world all around them, it felt peaceful. Thanks!

Not that this isn't helpful to someone, possibly even myself, but I need something to KEEP the world building going. Starting it is easier for me. I have basically a deck of cards to draw from at any time, the real question is how to narrow it down. The other day I was just thinking that it felt like there was a lack of gothic inspired worlds and then I did a couple hours of research, and lo and behold, it might actually be theoretically possible for a blue dwarf to support radiotrophic mushrooms on a world that also had citrus plants. After that it becomes a question of theoretical plant splicing or selective fungus breeding to make a world that could stand alive florally under such a radioactive star. The biggest problem being that due to how the wavelengths of these radiations go, the species of fungus researched would make the colorscheme a muted olive in color. Which might be beautiful with a wider range of visual light than humans have. Another idea is just a musically centric world, culture, and reality. It appears often enough as a thematic level in videogames, but it's never explored in depth in any manner as some sort of natural evolution of Flora and fauna. But the potential it holds is massive simply on the basis of various elements and chemical compounds having its own unique vibrational wavelength. A percussive petunia would be interesting. Flora subdivided by not only phylum, genus, and species, but also by instrumental organization. There is aa world of potential in some of the most mundane things taken to extremes, but I have no staying power for building these worlds properly because I feel like I lack the tools to properly translate this entire vision of a world to others.

I'm a big fan of "Follow Hidden Paths", it really feels like I just stumbled across a secret fairy sanctuary or something like that.

this looks like an anime that I would love to watch and this sounds like a world is beginning risen from the sounds it's self

I love the little taleoid drawing in the top left

I was just about to go to sleep and now I get relaxing music from an awesome channel? Shiiit life is good sometimes.

The music combined with Talebot somehow make me feel at peace and at home.

David Celeste - appears to be an amazing composer! Thanks for sharing!

This made for a wonderful backdrop for my painting tonight, and I must see what else you have to offer as of now. I'm weary of a lot of the stories I'm listening to essentially boiling down to "Uh, like, I saw something, and like, I didn't know what it was, so it was, like, a SKINWALKER!" Thanks for a wonderful effort on your end, here!

This is the playlist I'm using for my D&D campaign planner, and for the oneshot I'm doing in 3 days with nothing planned for. Have to make 3 character's (PC's) backstories and the entire session before Halloween day. This playlist rocks, no voices just calm collected good music!

To feel inspired is one of the world’s greatest joys To inspire others is even greater.

This video got me into college and now I'm writing papers on volcanic eruptions and the enviromental consequences regarding them. Thank you!

This is just what I needed because I always play music while writing then focus on the music

"Art is ever such an interesting, yet over look process. In twisting strings and etching paper, we grasp that which we cannot hold, tangling thoughts and ideas into vague abstractions from which we construct form. And somewhere between, from when the first note is played till the last line is laid, it becomes. Seemingly greater than the sum total of it's parts, containing more than canvas, wood and ink. Something almost... real. I shall never know what or who possessed that amalgam of bolts, gears and vacuum tubes, neither the means it was constructed. Carefully crafted in all the ways that matter, oft brilliantly so, and yet complex in an outdated, almost old fashioned kind of way. As if the creator had not yet heard of semiconductors or silicon chips. It bespoke a genius that was far before its time, a kind that only came about rarely every hundred years of so. I'd have like to talked to that man... but given how dusty these walls are and how deep this cavern is, I'd say that's quite unlikely. I dare say I wouldn't reach the bottom in all the years left to my name, had I the courage to even attempt the feat. So I must cut my visit short, lest I lose the way out. Its still down there... some where, penning letters, tearing papers, seeking perfection where it doesn't exist. Unsurprisingly, it's strange obsession has left me with many questions. Does it dream? Does it feel? From where does it pull its ideas? And most importantly and perplexingly, is it alive? I suppose I'll never know."

Every single detail of the art is amazing! And then there's the ink splotch over the notes which just made me go "NOOOOOO!"

One thing I gotta say is I really love the background animation that you have while the music is playing! The robot just writing away and putting more ink in the pen while it has little buddies hanging around, and sometimes there's lava being poured in the background- it's all just so amazing to watch while listening to the music.

Yassss! I was just looking for something motivational to help me finish my midterm papers for University and then this was uploaded literally 5 minutes ago. Freaking perfect

Literally what I was just searching for. Wow.

I like to listen to Celtic style music as I write. It helps me world build like crazy.

Been struggling to write a personal essay for one of my classes, and this has really helped to get the words flowing, just in time! Thanks for this

Amateur worldbuilder here! These songs plus gallons and gallons of tea are my fuel whilst writing/worldbuilding. Really inspiring stuff!

This is legit REALLY helping me get that drive to keep writing my book. Tells a story based on one single moment I dreamed about, and I found myself really curious to explore it. Already got the prologue and half of chapter 1 done in just 2-3 nights of writing!

No matter what I'm writing, these songs set just the right mood. They can be calm and wonderous, sweet and melodic, ominous and haunting, and happy and bright all at the same time I love this! Oh! and rn, its midnight and I'm writing about monsters in the dark and I swear I will not sleep. I keep looking at my closet and to the edges of my bed, as if a creature will suddenly make it's way out and come kill me Ohhhhh the spook and the vibes! This is the best playlist ever!

The lofi community is the safest place on RU-vid 💓💓💓💓💓💓

I wish there was a longer version of the Tale Foundry theme! I love that Rag-timey music! - Dylan

honest to god, and maybe it's just because I got super high one time while listening to this playlist, but this is in fact my favorite playlist out of several hundred I've listened to now for writing. I hope you make another, it's mad helpful

Tale Foundry, your talent for animation and music is truly outstanding. I am grateful for the beautiful and enchanting videos you share with us. Thank you for brightening our days!💕

i keep coming back to this for background music while working on my mfa, it's just the best

*_So many talented RU-vidrs out there, teaching about how-to tips and art discussions..._* *_Who else may I find to help fuel my imagination?_*

Wether your writing, high, or world building this is a perfect playlist

Something about Talebot being left handed just makes me happy and I'm not sure why

It really bothers me how much does school made me hate books at first. I had to read something I was not enjoying at all, but now, after finding just ONE book I really liked and tons of interesting small tales, I feel like I should start to read more and more. Or even write something. Just a tale, creepypasta, or a simple walk through a magical forest... possibilities seems endless now. Thanks Tale Foundry, you've just earned another subscriber

actually Writing the story of the dungeon for my friends (I'm the DM) - this collection suits it perfectly!

I've been putting aside writing for two almost three years now. And this helped me come up with new ideas for my story. Thank you so much and I love the art 💜💜

Everytime i hear Myuu music, it brings me back to my childhood

I love the little detail of the radio, every time the music goes louder the frequency of the radio moves faster. Great playlist thank you!!

Can you create another playlist like this please?? Absolutely perfect work/school background vibes! Calmly subtle enough to not distract, but flows enough to keep your mind activated, very well done!

I've been putting this playlist off because of weeks of terrible migraines, but I've just listened to it now and this actually helps me write and study.

"Mystic Forest" gives me rising-tension-in-a-studio-ghibli-movie vibes. Could easily picture a hero ascending a tall mountain with beautiful landscape shots of rolling fields. Awesome track.

I like how seeing a lofi or chill beats character make a different movement is the equivalent to seeing the DVD logo hit the corner of the screen.

The art work in this reminds me of my favorite villain. Nox the Xelor.

Omg this is all so amazing…Talebot, the video, the music! It’s hauntingly inspiring and melancholically reflective. Incredible.

I have written so much (thanks to this song) This song is best to listen to when you keep getting distracted. I appreciate this SOO much, thanks! 😄

Loving and I mean absolutely loving "Misconception" made me change my whole idea into something 10x better.

Just when i was gonna do some writing this come on, this is TOOO perfect timing

I'm running errands and feelin like I'm on quests in an rpg

This helped me get out of a year long writer's block, thanks a ton.

If only I were good at drawing, I could finally make my dream show a reality. Until then, I'll just create scenes in my head while listening to tunes.

Damn, i get that the music is the focus and that this is something to listen to in the background while writing or world building but the visuals are so good. I'd enjoy this with only the audio and doing just that, writing with this in the background, but the visuals are equally as good when tied with the audio. I mean it when I say this is truly amazing. The character design mixed with the clear skill for the craft that of which the maker of the visuals for this project has, helps immensely along side the astonishing music which doesn't intrude too much on your thought and instead helps support your writing/creation of the worlds you have bumbling about in your mind. You at Tale Foundry have created something wonderful, just as you always have been and will keep doing. I may not be an experienced writer or world builder but the art of creation and media has always inspired me. Whether that be video making by recording and post production. Creating visual art like drawings, paintings, animations, sculptures, photos, etc. Game creation and design. But most relevant probably being writing. Stories and fictional worlds have been so influential in my life, they form some of my favorite things and inspire me. All the examples of media are 1. Not all there is and it would be near impossible to state all there is. and 2. Inspires me, not only to do those things from the media I consume, like reading a good story for example making me want to write one of my own, but inspire me to do the other forms of media I mentioned and more. I may draw something in the setting of a story with the characters in the story or with characters I make myself or just something inspired by it and it's amazing. Every piece of media I consume plays a part in making me even more interested in media as a whole. The thing is when you get to see what was behind it, how it was made, the original concept, the journey along the way explored by the creators, is something truly inspiring and if said inspiration and motivation sparked by the media and the people behind it were gold, then we would have buildings made from the stuff all around. I know this has been a bit of a wall of text but I really mean what I say. Media makes up the world around us and while it can have it's downfalls it can still be wonderful when this concept of creating the ideas you have into something like an artwork, film, or book, is brought to the right people. Though when I say "the right people" I mean anyone with an idea, even if the base idea is cool or stupid, the way you as a creator actually make it can completely define what the concept actually is, and I guess that's the beauty of it. Sorry that this turned into a bit of a rant/vent on media and creation as a whole but good job Tale Foundry, for everything.

Tbh I love your art so much I would love to see a speedpaint of the art shown in this video Your art is just so lovely and I live your videos Keep up the good work

I love staring at the scene and catching the tiny creatures doing some action. Especially the one on his shoulder. It hardly moves but you can JUST see it lean back a bit and put a hand out when the bot leans forward

ngl that intro just putted me in the mood the most

Ooooo This is new. Definitely using this when I write.

I need a Spotify playlist of this

This is perfect! I was just sitting down to build upon an idea I had for a villain. I don't know where I'm going to put him, but he'll surely be a nice challenge for whoever the heroes I create are.

Using this to help me focus on a 120+ character drawing/project. Great playlist! Note: yes I will give updates

I have seen a lot of artists over time and take foundry has to be one of my favourite, I only wish I could make such amazing stuff but I always feel like my worlds lack uniqueness or original or other stuff and or they barely get worked on. Was hoping to make this message and get a Comment from the main automated machine himself but not sure if that would happen still very lovely video and artwork as always!

Oh i definitely needed this, right now in-fact

I’m put in a trance state of complete focus and comfortability when I listen to this especially with headphones. I’m over locked in to what ever I’m doing at the time I listen. I appreciate these soundtracks because they do something inside of my brain to make me just work effortlessly and it’s very helpful when I need to do work that I wouldn’t be able to do with crowded thoughts.

this is the perfect playlist to research and write about black holes and multiverses, which is what I'm doing.

Good music, also fantastic animated illustration to accompany

this reminds me of my childhood man it's so beautiful :,), the nostalgia is insane keep it up man!

I love you, Chill Beats for Worldbuilding and Writing, the sheer number of academic assignments you've gotten me through this past year... I can never thank you enough...

i love to listen to this when I'm studying, it's neutral enough to not disturb me but It's also incredibly inspiring

This is perfect for my book writing! On behalf of my novel, thank you from the last word in the last chapter in my creation!

Wanted to listen while studying, ended up having to much ideas and inspiration and I can't work c': This is amazing! I'll definitly listen to it on auto replay on my free time! O:

OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST WRITING PLAYLIST SO FAR 11/10 FRFR

Writing my new dnd campaign while listening to this and the subtly dark tones really fit with what i want in my world!
