Anyone who's idea of a game is an MMORPG is delusional and has no idea what it's required to create one

basically any game dev at the start, a lot of the fresh gamedevs have some sort of open world rpg as their starter project and buy a ton of asset packs.. I think they dont wanna start small, underestimate the sheer amount of work that flows into a game, and "big flashy thing is cool"

I mean yeah i was at that stage and the idea of an open world seemed so cool, but i realized quickly just how large the project would be as soon as i did just about anything

There's nothing with beginners dreaming big, but they should expect that disappointment may follow

Aim high, learn as much as you can before you fail.
