What inspired Outer Wilds? I spoke with Alex Beachum, creator of Outer Wilds, about the childhood games that shaped his thinking, including The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System, Star Wars: Rebel Assault, Dark Souls, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
We also discuss the book Warped Passages, Alexs introduction to armchair physics that influenced him some of the ideas that found their way into Outer Wilds.
