Everyone is inspired by something, be it the people around them or pieces of media they grew up enjoying. For indie developers those inspirations are often quite obvious, from the glut of SNES-style titles taking cues from series like The Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy to a title like Wander Stars that wears 90s anime influences on its sleeve. While SCHiM has a number of influences it can point to, lead developer Ewoud van der Werf hopes his game connects to peoples' memories of real-world childhood play.
