> For most games worrying about allowing modders to easily edit code is premature optimization. I was involved in a game project that died extremely quickly a few years ago. The project lead made every decision re: architecture, tooling, etc. somehow involve worrying about modding. As a result, we ended up with nothing to show since everything got derailed by a bizarre obsession by one person with modding before we even had anything to mod. I believe that person doesn't take lead roles on projects any longer...
