There's a game dev trend going on right now.

The indie game I'm making and three inspirations for it.

Skyrim, and just the Elder Scrolls in general, for its rich lore and open world, with NPCs that feel dynamic and as if they were a part of the world. I actually was inspired by a game I don't remember the name of for those NPCs as well, since they all have names and all have a specific schedule they follow which was similar to that game. I want to say it was Golden Sun but I'm not sure, I just watched a game dev video and the guy was talking about it which sparked the inspiration for me.

I've barely played Dragon Quest, but it works as a good stand-in for the overall style of graphics I've used which hearkens back to SNES/GBA RPGs. Final Fantasy VI would be another good one to put here.

Wind Waker, also for its open world and the feeling of being on an adventure as a younger person. Obviously not so much boat stuff. My music was inspired by a lot of games, including Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, and Wind Waker. This could apply to Ocarina of Time as well, both of which have inspired a lot of my work over the years.

This was sort of hard to come up with, though. I don't think I really took much inspiration directly besides Elder Scrolls and whatever that other game was. It's more of what passively affected me and what I was drawn towards in making my own game. I didn't really think "I want to make a game *like* Skyrim or *like* Dragon Quest" I was more in the mindset of "I want to make a cool game that's all my own." Some inspirations will be pretty obvious, but a lot of it just sort of bled through.

I'm so sick of both massive publishers buying out smaller studios just to shitcan them and smaller studios selling themselves out to massive publishers because this shit always happens... and they always force them to make shitty games.

It happened again :D Vineshroom makes an appearance in Bluey :3

I'm also learning now that SexuaLobster works on this show doing storyboards. Somehow, that isn't surprising to me. I can see his animation style rear its head from time to time.

In other news, Wizards of the Coast has decided that you can no longer buy individual items on D&D Beyond. You used to be able to buy just one magic item from a book, or a bunch of enemies, or a specific subclass, etc. Now, you HAVE to buy the entire book, which locks out a lot of people from buying anything at all. Certainly, I do not want to spend $30 on a book full of shit I don't need just for one magic item I think is cool.

To make matters worse, you used to be able to buy the full book with a bit of a discount if you already had content from that book purchased. Now, the only way to do that is to contact customer support.

They updated the marketplace and totally bungled it. Only further pushing people towards other systems or homebrew. I wouldn't be surprised if they get rid of the homebrew section completely on the website within the next 2 years, knowing how things have been going at WotC in a downward spiral.
