just saw another open world rpg maker game. the guy had been working on it for a year and a half and it already had a few hours of content. screenshots looked half decent, still using the default assets.
had me worried for a second. turns out there isn't even a story yet, though. still, i gotta' finish my game quick otherwise all of my ideas are going to seem like i'm copying someone else. i already kind of had that happen to me with breath of the wild releasing with its non-linear story/progression.
