Since my mumm didn't work so well I figured I'd try here instead. I'm new to game design, and I'm planning to make an old school 8 or 16 bit style RPG, but I can't decide which genre it should be inspired by. Should I make a steampunk style RPG? I know there are already several steampunk games out there, specifically Final Fantasy 6 and 7. Or should I make a horror inspired game? The west never got Sweet Home, so maybe that's something to consider. Or should it be something entirely different and wacky kinda like Earthbound or a combination of different things?
