I'll develop that idea more later, but for now, here is a big list. The epiphany for me was a way that I think a resource/strategy game can also be a gardening game and a puzzle game without being a bunch of elements of each slapped together. There are a lot of puzzle games in there, but Kingdom has the most influence, because it was the first "strategy" game that I found myself unable to stop playing or thinking about. For Trifle, the influences are Kingdom, Loren Schmidt's recent work on a game called "Goodnight Traffic City", William Chyr's dev streams for Manifold Garden, Toki Tori 2, The Witness, Tetrobot and Co., Infinifactory, and Lemmings.
Also, like a lot of game developers, my ideas have been influenced by the games that have affected me most deeply. Like a lot of game developers, the game that I want to make is the game that I really want to play but doesn't exist yet (although if it does and I just haven't heard about it, I *definitely* want to know about it).

Plus I don't mind it taking several years to do. I was wanting to do a bigger project (and I think it will be), but I realized that there's a huge benefit to making it a one-person thing.
