The main source of inspiration, of course, was the next fake Famicom game cover from some of the Famicase competitions.
The game title, “Me and myself, like the sun and the moon” is a rough translation of this fake game cover name (Taiyou to tsuki to boku toka watashi).
Games like, Zelda II, Super Ninja Boy, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Kung Fu Heroes, among others, inspired some of the game mechanics. While others like Killer 7, Faxanadu, Gabriel Knight, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc as well as the TV show Twin Peaks inspired other concepts like audio, locations and graphics.
I like these competitions (TIGSource's A Game by Its Cover compo), because even when you don’t get to finish your entry (an RPG from scratch in one month is almost impossible!) it gets you started and fuels you with enough motivation to keep you working on your project for months and weeks until it gets completed.
For now I just wanted to talk about of some of the things that inspired the creation of Me and myself, like the sun and the moon, next time I’ll have something different to share. See ya!
