Influences
Books, games and ideas I keep coming back to.
What’s shaping how I build and write right now.
01
Books
3- Scythe (Series)Neal Shusterman
A world run on strict rules, and what they cost people.
- The 48 Laws of PowerRobert Greene
Read to understand power, not to use it.
- The Bible
02
Games
5- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The first game whose story really pulled me in.
- The Legend of Zelda (Every One of Them)
The series that made games feel like books to me.
- RimWorld
Every colony turns into its own story.
- Kenshi
Like RimWorld, but harsher.
- Cyberpunk 2077
The city makes the story feel real.
03
Ideas
3- Working Within Limits
Make it work with what you have.
- Geography Before Lore
Build the place first. The story comes out of it.
- Describe What Is There, Not What You Think Is There
The rule behind my story The Archivist.

People
1- Open-Source Maintainers
Most of what I build runs on their work.
