Epic Inventor 대안

Epic Inventor 개요

I have said a few times that Epic Inventor was inspired by Terraria. There are obvious similarities you can see right away in the various screenshots I've posted. Certainly our desire to create a game was inspired by it as well. We love that game. We played it a lot.

Of course, our goal was not to recreate that game (it's awesome enough by itself) but whenever we talked about it, we talked about what we wish was included, or what we wished it did. Not that it was wrong for not including what we wanted, but rather we enjoyed talking about what we thought would be fun, even if it was just fun to us.

That's when my days of playing Age of Empires came to mind.

Thinking in terms of Terraria, I started asking myself questions letting my mind take me to ideas that I thought I w
