Hey there.
Lately I have been working on my game, and although it is basically completed I keep finding new things to improve / polish / add etc.
Because there is no deadline I can stretch this on and on, and it is easy to get distracted from the initial development scope.
Is this a good thing?
Obviously to some extent, but usually when games start as one thing and slowly transform into something bigger
than intended you have to rework most things from the ground up. You can't just keep expanding a game that was not meant for this
"large scope", you can create inconsistent quality and mechanic issues. That's my opinion at least.
Getting to the point, when do you think that enough is enough?
Should you just release the game when you just have it in a playable state? Should you release a demo?
What about polishing it further? Should you set yourself a deadline and if you have time add some more polish?
Just something that has been on my mind lately as I am literally just a few touches away from completing my game (Or am I?... you see where I'm getting at).

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.
