Until now I wasn’t one of them, but Dark Souls III inspired me to not only create something, but to write a poem, something I’ve not done in many, many years. With so much laid in the quiet details, every individual experiencing it is bound to have their own unique impression on these presented images. Stories are told in this world with the flourish of an attack, a wrinkle in architecture or a tear in a cape.
The process by which these come about owe a lot to the quiet nature of the game’s lore and the game’s presentation. There are countless artists, cosplayers, writers and musicians out there who create wonderful works of art based on these games. The Souls series has been a ripe source of inspiration for many people. The idea that a game can leave such a profound impression on a person that they want to spend time focusing their creative energies is something that has always impressed and intrigued me. It’s a funny thing when a game can inspire you to create something in another medium.
