@icedquinn If I were to buy a TV, I would probably buy it from GPX because not only do they sell their products on their actual website, they are also the only TV manufacturer I know of that still makes dumb TVs.

@beardalaxy @DreamSketcher Minecraft is kind of both. Sandbox games also include games like SimCity where exploration really isn't a thing. Garry's Mod is more of a closed sandbox than Minecraft is. Minecraft has exploration and even an end-goal. It just so happens to have crafting and a true sandbox mode (creative mode).

>My game is almost like botw except the final boss is gated by defeating all the other ones.

That's basically the same level of linearity as Zelda 1 (though Zelda 1 had a few dungeons blocked off until you got the ladder or raft). I think your game just has the added complexity of a day/night cycle and choices that actually make an impact on the game's story (a completely open-world game can lack either of those things).

@beardalaxy @DreamSketcher Depends on your definition of "open world" and the type of game it is. Something like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or BoTW is definitely a no-go. Something like a simple Minecraft clone is probably okay.

Ultima is largely considered the first true open-world game and it was developed by a high-schooler. Though I personally never played it. It could be open-world in the same sense that the first Zelda game was in that dungeons can be traversed in any order.

Music now stops after defeating the final boss.

Boss now drops the key which leads to the room with the MacGuffin item. I think it's slightly more climatic that way instead of it just ending abruptly.

@ArdainianRight What if the break-up is just a psyop and all the secessionist states are still controlled by the same elites?
