[Bf-funboard] BGE as a level editor similar to fallout 4 settlements

[Joshua Lotfi]

That's an interesting idea. I think what you are describing is the
modular "kit-based" approach to game content production that the game's
creators used overall. What you see in the settlement-building part of
the game is really just a gamified oversimplification of the way the
game was built using their Creation Kit software. While this kit-based
system works for some types of games, namely open world games, it
doesn't work for all. Not to be that one guy in the peanut gallery, but
I don't think that this would be a toolset really fitting for BGE. It
might be a great add-on, though. If you want to read about
Skyrim/Fallout's kit-based process, there is this article:

Idea: create framework to export .blends as well as other map formats
for
game engines, and allow developers to build maps within the bge.

Thanks for your time,
This system + static draw call batching would open up a much better bge
game development pipeline.
