I got inspiration for #BarrenPlanet from a number of sources. It was built on a combat engine of my own design, but included elements from computer games like the #BattleIsle series and Steve Jackson's #Ogre board game. I discuss these sources of inspiration in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/184/barren-planet-the-inspiration #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga
