I'll just hit you up on skype if I have something concrete in mind.
This is a really great strat for any would-be game-mods out there, co-modding a couple of games gets you a feel for the basics of how things work and when it comes to game design there should always be people around that you can ask for help.
We just had HP6 which is perhaps the grandest game yet run on this site in terms of mechanics and it took a team of Gabe/CT/VMF to manage it but they can't run every game on the site and the same goes for a mod like Monkey Banana who has done a huge amount for POG in terms of game design, game-modding and helping out other mods with their own games.
We need to have a new generation of game-mods coming through all of the time so that things don't get stale. If you're planning on modding your first game then think about co-modding as some good experience and if you want to design your own game then talk about it itt or send me a PM and we'll get you on the right path. And for the people out there that play the games and don't mod, that's fine too, but please be aware when you're playing in games run by a rookie mod and remember they need to be encouraged and nurtured.
