what are some great examples of good worldbuilding in gaming
>>
>>729306495
The premier worldbuilding-focused games these days are gacha aren't they?
>>
>>729306573
the problem with gacha is that they are never ending, since dev want to make money, leading to bloated stuff
>>
>>729306706
Which is pretty much a perfect environment for worldbuilding. Unless they're retards who need every new problem to be strictly bigger than the last.
>>
>>729306836
you cannot build forever. sooner or later something will start to contradict, which wil force you to do retcon
>>
>>729306920
Not literally forever but you can't build for decades if you're smart and I haven't heard of a gacha that ran out of "room" yet.
>>
>>729307070
which gacha have been running for decades? fate?
>>
>>729307185
No, I'm saying in general, a smartly laid out setting can be built on for decades. You posted one in the OP. The last time Touhou retconned something about the setting was, what, the turn of the millennium?
If you're implying that gachas develop faster and thus need more room, all they need to do is understand time. Make it so by the time you return to a region for a new event it hasn't been "retconned" different, they've just been dealing with some other problems recently and you can see it reflected in the area.

>>729307443
even touhou is running into that problems. ZUN introduce new girls all the time, leading to gensokyo feeling a bit crowded
>>
>>729307592
Gensokyo still feels like it has giant gaping voids to fill for me, so maybe it's just my perspective.
>>
>>729306920
retcons happen with anything that gets old enough.
