Sure, fund me to the tune of 10 grand a month in perpetuity and be willing to write a larger check for a team I’ll handpick and I’ll get it done, eventually.
This is in Kenyan cents, right?Sure, fund me to the tune of 10 grand a month in perpetuity and be willing to write a larger check for a team I’ll handpick and I’ll get it done, eventually.
And how did that work out?Swen Vincke 2012But then I remember the ultimate goal, the making of “the very big RPG that will dwarf them all”,

Are rpgs from 30 years ago primitive compare to the average rpg released on steam nowaday? Have a look at 1992 rpg list, darklands , wizardry 7, ultima 7 , eye of the beholder 2, ... Nope i wish to still have something as good to play.the best RPGs now will be considered primitive 30 years from now.
- The game world is going to have to be large, large enough to be impressive (subjective) but not so large as to attempt to model an entire world or universe.
- The interaction with what occupies this world is going to have to be equally impressive, from truly believable AI (up to some limit?) to almost unlimited manipulation and combining of objects present in the world.
- There clearly needs to be some purpose to the exercise, otherwise we're not talking about a game anymore. There must be a goal, a desirable outcome to play towards -- even if that goal is to model the life and times of some "adventurer".

Not even remotely true. Games have peaked and are starting their downslide. 30 years from now, we'll be looking at mediocre games from today and thinking "how'd they manage that?"
Let's say humans will advance even more and thus will be able to create things that we could not even dream about today.
Correct. Easier to accept and understand when I realise that I am not going to be there anymore checking them out 30 years from now. In the best case scenario I'll start a new game of Fallout every day, totally fascinated.the best RPGs now will be considered primitive 30 years from now.
The utimate RPG will be something like novel AI emulating a true Dmthat with a gameplay similar to KOTC2 but with generated artstyle inspired from the style of larry elmore and keith parkinson.
To answer your question "briefly":
As technology advances, so will RPGs.
For this we need resources that could one day be collected in space.
