The Emergence of Digital Mythology in Virtual Worlds
A comprehensive academic study of how digital gaming environments generate new forms of mythological consciousness and narrative structures. This artifact examines how virtual worlds create their own mythological systems, complete with creation stories, heroic cycles, and cosmological frameworks. Through ethnographic research in online gaming communities, narrative analysis of game lore, and interviews with game designers, it explores how digital spaces function as contemporary myth-making laboratories where players collectively construct meaning and identity.
