Level 3 Group: Member Posts: 30 Type: Developer RM Skill: Intermediate	This is the basis of a new long-term game project that I am developing (Explorer, exclusive to RPGRev). It is an open-world explorer with no pre-set plot. The game will evolve around the player's game style. If you complete a quest, it may unlock one quest but lock another from access. But, at the same time, you could sit at home farming. Do people think it would be better for a game to be open-world or plot-driven? ~TDW __________________________ "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
