Hero Fighter X (released)

[Silverthorn]

On one hand, it's unfortunate that it is unlikely that the HF modding scene will thrive, on the other, it seems perfectly reasonable. After all, I understand Marti's point of view, and allowing (un)limited modifications of his game can be a huge risk on gaining any profit at all.

How would it? If people pay for the game, and are then able to modify it, then it is a rather big incentive for people to buy the game.

That is why I put emphasize on the risk-part. It can pay off (Amnesia) but could also backfire badly (time, and thus money, needed to implement proper modding support vs. reward from it). Keeping in mind that Marti might not have enough financial reserves to attempt such endeavor, it seems natural to think twice whether this should be at the top of the priority-list. Also, personal attitudes of the developer; after all, he did not quite approve of LF2-modding, so it's unlikely that he would change his mind. ALSO, isn't the game still being in active development? Speaks against modding as well...
