Why I don’t like modding games August 7, 2007
Posted by deltawing in Games.trackback
I’m not being game specific but my experience is with Unreal Tournament 2004
1. Locked in by proprietary scripts such as UnrealScript
2. Spend way too long finding “work-arounds” to do what you really want. I’ve been known to be a masochist but, gee, not like this 
3. Lack of that feeling of achievement that I’ve actually made something. Seriously, I’d rather make a crappy Flash game from scratch 
4. Don’t learn as much, as I would if I coded my own engine/game. E.g. maths, physics, industry standard coding practices.
5. I feel like I’m learning something that will be obsolete in 6 months
6. Feel like a hacker
7. Have to spend ages figuring out how to do something exactly the way I want it but after 10 hours realize it’s not possible, after searching through incomplete documentation. (I think I mentioned that already in point 2)
