“Sometimes, being different is a good thing - so stand for it.” So when making a mod, know what kind of story you want to extend out of the existing universe the base game represents. Though if you have some good programming prowess, if you don’t have a good idea to work with it, its almost useless. Prerequisite 2: Proper Storywriting and Team So if you want to add a cool effect or a cool function - you do it in Python, if you limit yourself too much in Ren’Py, you’ll be limited to the built in functions from the game and the engine itself.īeing independent and learning not to rely too much on your programming team is a great step of being the leader for your mod - as it shows you how dedicated you are to the project, and it will motivate everyone on your team (if you have one), to work hard as you are.
A common prerequisite on any mod-making on any game is knowing how your target game works, and that is working with the same programming languages they used to make the game. Even if you’re just the conossieur, you are bound to get your hands dirty.
