>>81104957I like your philosophy! You could say we have kindred philosophies!
*badum-tsh* And definitely! I think the best work is a lens into the experiences and life of an artist, or a concept they want to share with you that was a result of their experiences and journey. It's always a fantastic feeling when you hear that an NPC in a game was actually once say, a D&D character one of the team members played as that translated well into the universe!
Even small things like that make a difference... I had the biggest spit-eating grin on my face when I found out Miyazaki of FromSoft fame drew a lot of inspiration for the Souls games from the feelings and experiences playing the Fighting Fantasy adventure books! I love those books and they really highlight the fun of adventuring into a world foreign to you filled with it's own rules, nuances, secrets, and ultimately the great foe at the end of the journey that you conquer with a mix of your luck and choices! To think one of the game series I resonated with and one of the designers I love the most share common inspiration in the kind of feelings and experiences we want to evoke with our works It felt me with a lot of glee, and that feeling of appreciation for how true it is that all we do is built on the back of giants before us! I hope that the work and passion of me and my friends ends up shining through and giving you fun experiences someday too =w=
Alrighty, I'mma get to work on some D&D related stuff for my game tomorrow! I hope you have a wonderful night and good luck with the writing! I'll still be lurking till I pass out probably
