Haha, yep, Apotos was the initial inspiration, although the ice cream wasn’t a conscious reference (but I see it now). I actually tried to go up one meta-level and base Azuropolis on the Greek island Mykonos, which Apotos is also based on, but it’s so close there’s not much of a difference.
The Cycladic-style of the city (as well as when she gets ice cream) reminds me of Apotos from Sonic Unleashed.
Was it an inspiration?

I am a huge Sonic fan and it’s nice to see these subtle references, even the ones you don’t intend.
Interesting. I just assumed the architecture style and city planning was designed to resemble flowing water.
I keep making comments and finding out the same comments were made four years earlier.
