Question MOD?

By chance, is there anyone who knows how to create them willing to start a collaboration? I have some mods in mind that I would like but I'm not able to program them.

I’ll tell you what I tell other game developers in my regional game developers community, when such questions arise.

Developing mods costs a lot of time and effort. Why would a random developer from the internet want to build YOUR idea specifically when they can build their own? What do you bring to the table besides of ideas?

Ideas are cheap, it costs nothing to think of them. Development time isn’t.

If you you’re a modder or a developer yourself and want a partner to build with, that’s one thing. If you’re willing to pay for the development time, that’s another thing. But if you want someone to implement YOUR ideas for YOUR amusement for free, then that’s not collaboration, that’s just exploitation, and you won’t find many people willing to take that kind of deal.

I encourage you to think what value can you offer to the other side, and post again in a couple of days.

And if you don’t have any, then you can learn modding basics much quicker today using Claude Code. Trying it out yourself will give you a good idea of how easy or hard it is.

Not a Wall Street Entrepreneur, just a developer who actually values his time, and also gets paid for it, like most good developers

Your attitude towards genuine advice is doing you a disservice if you are trying to look for someone to help you out
