So in terms of quality I think you all know that the iKingsSGC Mod Division and myself in particularly are very anal about the quality of the products we put out. I have been vocal in the past about the practice of "developers" putting out "mods" that are so uncreative and uninspired. Most mods only adds some items, blocks and badly textured mods that use the bipedal model (steve),
Now when we create new things for the DWCM, or any iKingsSGC product in general it goes through several stages of picking and choosing the best features out of generally hundreds of ideas for one feature or smart entity etc. Once the first model is produced for a specific smart entity we typically revise it anywhere from 5 to 25 times before we get it top quality. It thenhas to go through the texturing phase. I spend anywhere from an hour to 3 hours texturing a single model depending on the texture map after that I spend sometimes whole days developing a very specific feature set for that smart entity.
It is this type of creative thinking and our need to make things top quality that makes the DWCM so unique and its also why I think we are "streets ahead" of any competition we may every get.
For other people to develop a Doctor Who mod it would be like him jumping into a field where 99.9% of the market-share is already taken by a single competitor.
He/She/They would need to both compete with the DWCM in terms of features and in terms of popularity as well as the quality of their features. If He/She/They decided to develop their mod they would be essentially drowning from the very start.
The Doctor Who Client Mod currently holds the 2nd most diamonds for a mod on PMC and the 16th most viewed mod on Planet Minecraft not to mention it ranks In the top 10 on the Minecraft Forums on both most replied and most views. We already have over 600 features and counting. Not just items, blocks and mobs. We have legitimate new systems that really do revolutionize minecraft. We are building a game on top of minecraft which is the prototype for our other projects (Stargate Chevron 7.)
Keep in mind that all of this is is during our Pre-Alpha development phase. Imagine how much more popular it will become when once we start our closed alpha phases and even more so once our first public beta is released.
Due to my ankle injury and being unable to goto college for the forseeable future the DWCM and iKingsSGC & the iSGC Mod Division are basically full time jobs for me, of course I dont get paid for the work I do but I have nothing else to do but watch netflix and work on these projects. I think that in order for others to compete with the DWCM and me personally they would need to be constantly coding and constantly thinking of ideas and constantly texturing (and I am a graphic design student who will be getting a certificate in web design and Degree in Applied Science.)
I just dont think that in minecrafts current state of trying to kill the modding community that it would be wise for ANYONE to try and start or continue to develop another DW mod besides the iKingsSGC Mod Division. Minecraft being an unstable platform to develop on and because the DWCM pretty much satisfies every Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures fans and it brings much much more content than just Whoniverse stuff and it is the highest quality you have ever seen in minecraft in regards to art, code, and sounds.
Personally I think it would be extremely difficult for anyone to compete with us and I dont want to see someone work hard on a project and not see it succeed. For anyone to try and compete with myself and the rest of the iKingsSGC at this point would be trying to run to catch up to something that is in warp speed factor 10.
