Collage
Here is a collection of art and other fanworks I liked or used as references for this project. They certainly influenced the art direction so I wanted to credit them.
- "Luthadel - Mistborn" by carlitusroda
- Drawing of the Square of the Survivor by Askhundel
- Allomancer's Playground by waai, A VRChat world that implements Allomancy. I've never played it myself, but it looks very fun.
Special Thanks
- Pagerunner, Argent, Jofwu, and other many other members of the 17th Shard community for discussions on the physics of Allomancy
- Arthur Llorens for ideas and valuable discussions on game design
- Brandon Sanderson for creating these books. I am not affiliated with Brandon Sanderson; this is project made purely out of passion for the cosmere, open-source and free for anyone to play. Based on Brandon's knowledge base articles and the fact that I'm not commercializing this project, I don't expect I'll have to take it down.
