Hardest Part

[calclavia]

Since this is the general discussion board, I am allowed to post about anything related to modding.

 

I'm just curious. What do you think is the hardest part of making a mod?

 

In my opinion the hardest would be promoting the mod after it's done and getting people to use it.

 

What's your opinion?

I agree that promoting is very hard. However, I got lucky and got a mod spotlight from Ipodmail

For me the hardest part has been my own self-confidence.

 

I still haven't released anything I've created yet, simply because my self-confidence won't let me release a version where I'm still missing some of the important things I need to add...

I hate releasing unfinished/imperfect things...

At least it leads to better overall quality.

i tend not to promote my mods but rather just post them and let them be. I mostly mod for myself or my server then public release my mods for other. The harder part i've found about modding is getting modding help and find that the code i need.

Avoiding flame from people who don't like your mod. I've posted once, just a simple mod that added a blaze lantern, and it was flamed beyond belief because, apparently, it was stupid.

Promotion is definitely the hardest part – I had to get the Yogscast's attention myself, and it took some time, but once I finally got them to look in my direction, they loved what they saw and now I have Lewis's email and 200,000+ downloads to boot.

I find SMP the hardest, I just can't get it to work properly, except for simple Items and Blocks adn Entitys, with guis i fail
