Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Hello everyone,

Ok, I have to confess. This month's update is going to be a bit of a short one. A few of us have been on holidays, there’s been a lot of “under the hood” work, and a lot of boring but necessary polishing. So to be frank - there isn’t that much “new and improved” type of content and updates to show. HOWEVER! That doesn’t mean that this is it, the update is over. Oh no, not on my watch!

In today’s update, I thought I’ll show you some of the references that we used to create some of our units. As ye olde saying goes, we all stand on shoulders of giants. And that certainly applies to us as well. Now, as you probably noticed, Inkulinati is heavily influenced by marginalia found on medieval manuscripts. What’s really cool - in our minds at least - is that our character are inspired by real-life medieval doodles. Yes, they are figments of the imagination of people long gone. You can say that our concept artists are people that lived 100’s and 100’s of years ago - we just helped bought their creations to life. Below are a few of those references in action.



So if you feel that what we have in our game is twisted, crazy, and just plain weird - it’s not us, but our ancestor’s fault (King Godfrey’s pro tip - always blame it on the dead guys).

Another little thing that might be of interest to you - we were interviewed by the Turn-Based Lovers site. So if you want to find out a bit more about us, our inspirations, and the game itself - hop over to this link here. I hope you’ll find it of interest.

If you like what we’ve shown you today, let us know in the comments below. Heck, maybe you have some marginalia that you like yourself - if so, post below! And as always, you can follow us on social on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Do it - it makes us feel nice seeing that community of ours rise.


Until next time,

Michal | Yaza Games Team
