...do you have in your finished projects? If you’ve not finished a game yet you can make an estimation. And to contextualize the information a bit more, what’s the average size of those maps?
I got curious as to how many maps most people put in their games before they’re satisfied and call it a day, which is why I made this thread. I’m aware the easiest answer is ”as many as is needed”, but that’s also not very interesting or useful so please avoid it.
In my case, I’ve never finished a game so I have to estimate but I usually aim for ~20-30 large maps (50x50 ~ 80x80 in size) with maybe ~50 smaller maps, usually no larger than one screen. The majority of the smaller maps being insides of houses in towns and such. In case anyone thinks that’s a low number, keep in mind that I’ve never tried to make an epic 20+ hours game and always aimed for something like 6-7 hours of playtime.
A typical village or town for me would require 1 large map and 4-8 smaller maps. A dungeon would be 2-4 larger maps.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
