Re: When should you know that a mod idea is too big to be done?
I have a functional knowledge of UDK, and have done some levels on it however nothing with this scope. Good point about prototyping, I agree doing something ugly but functional is a definite first step. After all, all the art in the world and no code won't get you anywhere.

for me, the no.1 difficulty was getting interesting mission variety. I, like many people probably do when working on something too big, figured- hey I'll make some dynamic mission system where I set some parameters and I'll get infinite missions! brilliant! except, doing something which creates unlimited,…
