Shin Wang, Vonder Games producer, cited inspirations from indie favorites like Spiritfarer, Stardew Valley, and DAVE THE DIVER. The team also drew influence from the beautiful animation style of Studio Ghibli. Wang stated, "We were inspired by the indie games we love to play—Spiritfarer, Stardew Valley, DAVE THE DIVER—as well as the beautiful animation of Studio Ghibli. With Aether Wizard Life, we wanted to create a truly magical world for players to get lost in, where they can choose exactly how they want to spend each day, and can truly feel like they belong."
