i know this is probably a lame question that almost every developer gets, but i'm genuinely curious. maybe you just thought to yourself "hey, why don't i make an rpg  where the main character is a weird, gross and floppy thing fighting weird, gross and floppy monsters in a weird,  gross, and floppy world" 

I keep giving different answers because I barely know. On one hand, I'm experimenting with ragdoll animation and combat, because the physical simulation opens up a realm of possibilities for game mechanics.

On the other hand the world is a happy place to escape into, inspired by games, movies, and dreams that have felt like videogames to me. I always wake up and just want to go back, so I'm making them. Or something similar.
