While it sounds like an obvious question on its face, I really like asking game developers what other games they’re inspired by. You sometimes get some really fantastic answers. A lot of the time, you can look at a game and make pretty obvious observations about where it came from: this one’s a Zelda-like, this one’s like Destiny, and so forth. But sometimes developers I talk to dig deep and point out surprising games, and surprising things about those games, that they have woven into their own, very different work.
