I also am a big fan of Telltale Games and Paradox Interactive. Do they inspire you to make your own projects? What game are you currently working on?
Viewing post in Introduce yourself!
I'm currently gonna work on a game for the #156 Trijam whose theme is "Teatime". But that is a surprise, heheh. Paradox' games really inspired some of the systems in Fall of Bronze, Feudalism Game and to an extent Code Collapse. Those three games are somewhat strategy-based, but there's a lot of interconnected systems, something Paradox helped become my fascination.
As for Telltale Games... I don't feel experienced enough to tackle a story-based game. But one day I will!
What about you?
