REVEAL YOUR SECRETS: WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR IDEAS?

Posts

I got my inspiration from other RM games, like Legionwood, Prophecy: The Demon Kingdom, and most of Craze's games and Max McGee's games.

oh god
I draw most my ideas from Zelda and Golden Sun in many of regards, but ALOT from Castlevania SOTN and Blaster Master. Basically trying to do the Metroidvania thing in a top-down zelda adventure format.

Many puzzles designs I have spawn from many various idea, though. Some are direct borrowings of specific concepts, some are ideas spawned from mathematics, music composition, etc.
I get my ideas from dreams and instrumental/not songs when it comes to story. But mechanics wise, Final Fantasy Tactics/GUST Games and...Touhou (fangames too).

Yeah you're right.....sorry.

EDIT: Anyway, back onto the topic, FF VII and FF X are pretty influential for me. I'm also pretty inspired by movies (I'm a pretty big fan of Cast Away). There are some RPG Maker games that I truly love and have been a big impact on me: Demon Legacy, Balmung Cycle, Ascendence to name a few. I'm constantly blown away by some of the stories people have created with this little system.

music=ideas
Ok, I'm getting all this "music = ideas", "dreams = ideas", "my dog's poop = ideas", but I don't really bye it. I want concrete examples, like... concrete specific aspects of your game.

How concrete? I would tell you stuff Calunio but go to IRC more often and after I let you test Alice out!
As for dreams, I get the weirdest ones, like dreaming a story that involves cultural difference and wars and an epic situation here that I'm not going to elaborate (I'm so doing this after Marian)

Oh, I totally forgot.

The major gameplay mechanic of SL: Riot Grrrl (the interface used for exploration) is pretty much lifted inspired by The Burning Grail.

I love the interface used in The Burning Grail and Killer 7. I wish more games would use it. Most of my ideas come from games, movies and books I enjoy. The rest I just think up as I go or while I'm bored.
The mental institute...

I came up with a lot... hehe... 83

But in all seriousness now, I got my ideas from Lego. I came up with some random scenario's every so often... (plus when playing a game, it keeps on the brain... Earthbound was a major influence on that.)
