I actually didn’t know the Dullahan collecting souls thing was referencing Asgore. Nice catch!

 

the level 87 legendary ring "saundersi signet" references a type of ant named "colobopsis saundersi", which can self destruct by autothysis, spraying a sticky corrosive glue in all directions

 

slykaar is a reference to me

 

Antikythera may be a reference to one of the first computers ever made, the Antikythera Mechanism, having as many as 37 bronze gears inside that allowed it to predict astronomical stuff decades in advance!

 

Me and two other players have graves in grave mistake.

 

Legolus and Elrund are (pretty obviously) named after Legolas and Elrond from Lord of the Rings.

 

Korben, the criminal in Aldorei's Secret Part I, is an anagram of 'broken', a reference to the ex-GM brokenmotor, who was in charge of the quest before I took over.

I also did work on the Maex black market.

• The Dark Artificer NPC talks about a weapon named the Kirschblute, which is a reference to Kirschblüte, the name of the anthem of the Xin-Xi in Polytopia.
• The Dark Artificer's dialogue is also based off of the way that Zom Zom the Far-Out, from Little Big Planet 3, who runs Zom Zom's Fashion Emporium.

Hello to all of you guys! I have updated the post and I thank you for your help!

Hey! Is this true? I didn't really know if it was actually true or if you just liked the name Skylaar? I would love to add it, but I'm not sure if it was actually based from your name / referenced from your name or you said that jokingly. ly ty <3

 

Its a joke lmao, its the other way around

 

I'm probably wrong on at least a few of these but here we go.
-In Realm of Light V the monolith room sections are likely a reference to the backrooms supported by the very similar corridors and the Lurking Anathema which haunts the place similar to the creatures which exist in the backrooms.
-Also in Realm of Light V "Your Reflection" could be a reference to the final boss of Zelda II : Link to the past although a lot of games have taken on this boss format since then so I wouldn't be surprised if it had another origin.
-Legendary Island is weirdly similar to that of the True Arena in Kirby Triple Deluxe and Robobot in that there is an optional challenge once you have completed the game which allows you to take on bosses you have taken on prior in beefed up forms ending with a boss that is entirely different to any boss you have fought prior. But again this could be just a tribute to boss rushes in general.
-Although 99.9% of people likely found this already in Realm of Light IV the plant "Canned Abis" you get to try wake up the tree is an obvious reference to the drug of the very similar name.
-In Eldritch Outlook, when The Eye opens up its mouth is almost certainlly a reference to the second phase of the Eye of Cthulhu in Terraria.
-In A Hunter's Calling the Final Boss(es) Aledar and Tasim maybe inspired by the infamous Dark Souls 1 boss(es) Ornstein and Smough in which after you kill one of them the other one becomes extremely buffed up and and entirely different move set leading to two entirely different boss variations depending on who you killed first.

 

This one didn't get added to the post because it was treated as a joke, so I'm just gonna mention that Misadventure on the Sea is in fact a reference to a craftedmovie skit called Misadventure on the Sea

I honestly hate it when people put salted likes in their signature, it really grinds my gears for some reason

I've gotten at least 10 salted likes in my 2ish years on this forum and never once have i been like ''OmG YES i gOT a lIke fROM thE owNEr of Win dcrafT! teim 2 upd8 mY siGNaturE to fLEx!''

 

Shrug

 

In Forbidden Prison:
Kaetan is an anagram of AscendedKitten
Taron is an anagram of Aarontti
The quest and location are heavily based off of the IRL prison USP Atlanta
Some of the themes and gameplay ideas were inspired by The Escapists, as well as Escape from Pelican Rock Island from Poptropica
The Warden was inspired by the former warden of USP Atlanta, Darlene Drew.


The short little dialogue introduction before the Your Reflection boss fight in ROL V is blatantly ripped from the deprived gaster boss fight video on youtube

 

Oh, I forgot one more. I didn't make the Realm of Light base terrain, but I did make the monolith exteriors. They were originally just the flat power button symbols, and I was going to have the cubes separately, but we decided it looked better with the cubes. Anyways, the cubes are based off of the infusion altar from Thaumcraft.


It was hard to write runes into the sides, and I did, but it looked bad.

 

The strutting and rambling mushrooms in Shattered Minds are references to the scrambling evil mushroom enemy from Earthbound

 

On the road to Nemract, there is a hut with a mob called ''Spooky scary skelet0n'' in it. This has been in the game for years and is likely here to stay.

 

Wow the joke I made comparing them to the infusion altar was actually right

 

Wait, what was the joke?
