I'm trying to find the earliest game who used Modular workflow and how its progressed to now, has anyone stumbled across anything? I'm doing a research thesis on Modular construction so anything would be a big help right now!
Wow. Is it that difficult to find? I think you're going to have a difficult time researching your paper if it's difficult for you to find our wiki! If you do manage to find it, Modular would probably be a good search term to start with.
Start checking games by date, check gameplay and levels, purchase one if you'd like it. All games have modularity, you cannot possibly have the entire world build from different objects. Are you really doing a thesis? It does not sound convincing
