+- a familiar idea has more value compared to more alien ideas
+- the most satisfying act for creativity is balancing the new idea with familiarity
+- this practice can be stretched into [[id:9b669fd4-e04e-43dd-a61e-81dea5ec0764][Deliberate practice]], seeing creativity more of a skill than an inherent talent

+- with practically limitless resources at your side, you may get into choosing how to implement such things;

+- furthermore, restrictions forces you to create systems that fit with the requirements;
+  that can also lead to accidental discoveries, finding paths that you haven't thought of before
+- examples:
+  + this is especially evident with older software such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCORE_(software)][SCORE]] and the [[https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11][earlier Apollo computer systems]]
+  + in [[roam:Game development]], this is especially challenged with fantasy computers such as roam:TIC-80

+- not all things in life has to be some grandiose moments
+  + not all moments of a critically acclaimed masterpiece of a film is a deliberate decision
+  + not all tracks of an album has to be great to be a classic
+  + not all parts of a song has to be bombastic
+  + not all parts of a game has to be epic
+  + not all parts of the picture has to be attention-grabbing
+- contrasts give breathing room for people to take all of the stuff we intend to
+- in other words, when everything stands out, nothing will
+- real-life examples
+  + most of the memorable tracks from Touhou are from the final bosses as ZUN makes the best track he can make;
+    it makes his game more memorable by building up to the final theme
+  + badly-designed advertisements will try to make everything stands out

+- There's a lot of graphics design inspiration to be had from their games from Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, Clash Quest, and even Hay Day.
+- Most of them are pretty simple to look at but very stylistic.
+- A lot of them is a good starting point for art (e.g., illustration, 3D modelling).
+- This is especially true for their recent games especially the spin-offs from established universes (e.g., Clash Quest, Clash Mini).
+  They designed it to look different but completely familiar with their gameplay and associated tropes.
+  It really is one of my role models for game design except for the mobile-oriented inconveniences, of course ;D.
