    Can I make something the size of Stardew Valley in GMS2?

    I want to make a game but I want to make sure the engine I'm using will be able to (eventually) support what I want to make. Is something like SV feasible on GMS2? What I have in mind is similar in style and scope. If not, are there recommendations for another game engine?
