    The one book that influenced me most was "On Numbers and Games" by Prof. John Horton Conway.

    You should absolutely read it, but be warned: It's less about game development and more about some kind of nonstandard analysis.

    i have a mainly linguistic education but i am fascinated by numbers studies, so i know i will struggle but find it interesting.
    i also usually tend to develop 1vs1 abstract boardgames so it should help on balance.

    what sort of linguistics? do you happen to be educated in the neuro branch of philology?

    just real bases of neurolinguistics. i have a master degree in oriental languages and cultures (spec. japanese), with a thesis in literature translation ( i translated into italian some short stories of a japanese sci-fi writer from early 20th century never translated in other languages). i also got some post-degree qualifications in language teaching, expecially teaching italian as second language for strangers.

    That's awesome. Do you guys have phonemological semantic analysis of texts as a way to determine psychological ailments? It's a pretty new thing in Russia and I'm not sure if it's secluded only to Russian language, but it shouldn't be, since, if I remember correctly, the guy that I read said that 13 phonems are used worldwide and have an intrinsic meaning regardless of the language they're spoken in. And it's not just a random guy, he got a doctors in philosophy and psychology and defended a thesis titled "How rhytmophonetic structures shape the perception of a text of teenagers and young adults."
    Also, which japanese authors would you recommend me to read? I've only read Akutagawa, Dazai, Mishima.

    it depends on what kind of books you like.
    I translated Hoshi Shinichi 's short stories, sometimes you find some of them in anthologies or maybe you can get some russian translation, they are pretty fun and smart.
    also i can suggest

    - anything you find of Ihara Saikaku, he makes short stories about merchants in feudal japan they are interesting
    - kanikosen (the crab cannery ship) - one of the few communist experiences of japan (not repressed in blood)
    - Kojiki (the "holybook" of imperial Shintoism)
    - ugetsu monogatari (tales of moonlight and rain) by ueda akinari / short mystical stories.
    - Genji monogatari ( tale of genji) on of the most important books of japanese literature
    - tsuretsuregusa (essay in idleness) by kenko, random thoughts from a monk/philosopher

    and a lot more, but these ones came to my mind first

    (btw i didnt go that deep into scientifical linguistic field, i was focusing on a more cultural and artistic kind of approach to literature translation. I studied some stuff about neurolinguistic also when i had a baby 2 years ago because my wife is japanese so i wanted to see the best approach to grow a bi/trilingual child)

    Sweet! Any particular order? We got some pretty good translation in Russian of most of Japanese literature by Boris Akunin, who also happens to be one of the best and most influential modern writers/intellectuals, but I'll have a look at English translations aswell if I find some in the web, especially considering that I might come across yours.
    Have you already heard that Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize? What do you think of his works? Does it feel like Japanese literature?
