The look, physics and sound every project in this World uses until it writes its own. Change it here to change it for all of them at once.

1. Open a World's overview and scroll to Style.
2. Click a row and write how the World should look, move or sound.
3. Leave the row to save. A row you have not written shows Rasu AI's starting words; Restore default puts them back.

• Physics: how things move. It goes into every shot.
• Audio: the music and sound. It goes into every shot.

Every project in the World uses these words until it writes its own.
