This is a very well-done piece in a good cause, but it would have been nice for the author to acknowledge the very obvious inspiration from Monument Valley - https://www.monumentvalleygame.com/mv1 https://www.monumentvalleygame.com/mv1 - particularly given they're asking for tips.
- dash2 7mo agoIs there more to the inspiration than "3d isometric with a lot of staircases"?
- sn0wleppard 7mo agoSounds like it might have been added later but it's in the credits now >The idea for parallel paths and the illustration style developed independently, but the team did take inspiration for the isometric world and user experience mechanics from the game Monument Valley once made aware. If you enjoyed this format, give Monument Valley a play through the Apple or Android app stores.
- righthand 7mo agoMore like MC Escher, Monument Valley isn’t an original idea.
- frereubu 7mo agoHow far back do you want to take this? Like why aren't they giving credit to the person who invented the pen? C'mon, this is a much more direct copy of Monument Valley than Escher.
- righthand 7mo agoMonument Valley is a copy of Escher so I’m not sure your point. Or maybe it’s an order thing? Then Monument Valley is a copy of the Escher scenes from the movie Labyrinth or maybe it’s a copy of a-ha’s Take me on music video?
