Hey there.

I'm making a multiplayer game, which is ment to be played by ~4 up to ~32 players per server, and lately I started to wonder: do I need this game to be moddable? I can't imagine more than two, maybe three game modes that would suit the game style. Ofcourse, I suppose if somebody was to mod and, and he was motivated, he could make really big mod, like c-rpg was for mount & blade, but I don't expect to have that much commited players. But nevertheless, I looked up a few different MP games, and all of them were moddable.

Do you think that I should make my game moddable aswell? Is it worth the effort? Most of the time the mods are really crappy anyway.

Would seeing that the game is not moddable stop you from buying it?


Cheers.

I'd say that unless you know exactly how to do it well, don't worry about it. There are enough hurdles getting these games made without providing your own. If you're questioning it, then it sounds like it's not important enough to lag your progress.

I suppose you are right. I do want to ever release this game after all. I only hope this doesn't put people off from playing it.
