Movies, really any type of movie. Animated, Action, Adventure, Horror, etc.

Recent movies that have greatly inspired me are Avatar and The Princess and the Frog.


Avatar for it's epic scale and gorgeous night time setting.

Princess and the Frog for it's beautiful painting like backgrounds and just perfect setting makes for a perfect transition onto a level. :)

Dictionaries mainly. Look at my thread in Tuorials to understand what I mean :rolleyes:

my inspirations:

Warioware, Classic genesis sonic, the Jak series for the PS2, Japanese Rock music, Shigeru Miyamoto, Ratchet and Clank, Katamari Damacy, Open Source software, Kingdom Hearts, Fahrenheit 451, the Giver (a book), the Office, 30 rock, classic Family Guy (before it came back), College Humour's 'picnicface', Starcraft.

Hehe, I think I don't need to awnser that. Except from the obvious it's just my crazy mind and discussions with some mates.

Well and LPBC offcourse

Grant, LOL.
I have 4 main inspirations that drive me in everything I do in my life, including level making.

1. music
2. crystals
3. ghosts
4. cats.

in that order.

As many of you already know, my Gothic Reverie levels were inspired by 80's goth band The Cure.

My new level, Tenement (97.5% complete and almost ready for beta testing) is inspired by a variety of sources including David Lynch, Stephen King, film noir, J-Horror and the Silent Hill series.

hmmm, I'm inspired by people I admire for different reasons. This inevitably transpires in who I am and therefore what I create.


Shigeru Miyamoto
