What are some of your inspirations?

[Learis]

What are some of your inspirations for RPGMaker or any of your creative works? Are they characters or stories from shows/movies? Maybe certain people in your life? Or something else. Do you typically start your work with inspiration of some sort, or do you just have an idea and go with it?

- My current inspiration is from Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. It's a weird one for making an RPG game lol.

My inspiration continues to be the magic in the old PSX games like Breath of Fire 3, FF9, and mainly a lot of 2D games. Though, I do enjoy 3D Rpgs. Recently, I've fallen in love with 2D Platformers and Metroidvania.

But the most important inspiration I've had is being able to make a lot of cool stuff before I croak (as morbid as that sounds). I think about it sometimes, and I'm like: "The amount of content I produce isn't important; the point is to have as much fun and to get content seen by as many people as possible."

My major inspiration is animes, games, comics, mangas, movies and a lot of other things from my youngster days.

To mention some:

• Saint Seiya
• Dragon Ball
• Yu Yu Hakusho
• Street Fighter II Victory
• Samurai X (or Rurouni Kenshin)
• Spider-Man
• Megaman (Classic, X, Legends)
• Sonic
• Chrono Trigger
• Chrono Cross
• Breath of Fire III (and IV)
• Castlevania Symphony of the Night
• Dragonheart
• Lord of the Rings
• A Dog's will (Auto da Compadecida)

@CleanWater Symphony of the Night! Cool. Never played it but I love the music in that game. Also Alucard is awesome, hence my avatar.

I love that game and the Alucard character. This game was my major inspiration to one of my non-rpg maker games. Also, my avatar is of a character from my game that was strongly inspired on Alucard as well.

I try not to make stories too closely related to the things that influence me. The things that make me want to write are Hunter S. Thompson, Cormac Mcarthy, Terrence Malick, Stanley Kubrick, the Coen Brothers, Andrei Tarkovsky.

Those ones only influence me a little. The thing that influences me the most is music. And maybe a shot or three of scotch.

Real life, RPG's, movies, comics and mangas, epic fantasy...

Inspiration for my game would probably be a mix of Disgaea, Megaman battle network series, and bad decisions by Konami.

"Tales of" Series.

I have literally played almost ALL of their console releases 3+ times. They have amazing stories, wonderful combat systems, memorable characters, broad customization- including COSTUMES!!!. I'm tryna make a game that says "Tales-potential".

I got the "amazing story", "memorable characters", and "costumes" down. Just working on the mechanics~!

RPG-wise, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Ultima, and a few other random scatterings.
