I show no intent in just reskinning HL2DM. Once again age should not be a factor in this which is why I made putting your age in the application optional. I plan on putting effort into this and not winding up like another dead mod on moddb.com. Even if this does wind up being dead at least I tried other than being an starfish like you who has nothing better to do but discriminate people for their age.
It has plenty to do with it, most kids around our age do not have the proper skills to develop a good game, you might be able to code but that doesn't mean you'll easily find a bunch of GOOD modelers, mappers, etc. You'll just get tons of idea people and then a couple of guys who say they can do this and that but, can't actually do it well.
