Developer tools question

[.Esík]

Hi. I am not modder, i am just gamer but i always loved to make my own story and scenarios in games like Heroes of might and magic, Arma series and so on. How does this delevoper tools work? Can i make like my own custom location, some kind of quest, story, dialogues, enemies basically my whole own game and then somehow play it? Or this is only for people who understand programming and modding and thos they are not begginers?

It's definitely isn't as difficult as you may think. Just try to create some dialogues and missions and then keep going if you'll love it.

"Can i make like my own custom location, some kind of quest, story, dialogues, enemies basically my whole own game and then somehow play it?"
Of course you can do all of this.

Welp, truly I didn't tried to create my own map yet, but at least I can tell you how to launch and play maps via Developer Tools:

At first, download Developer Tools for Dying Light 2 either in Steam or Epic store. Then launch DevTools with "play" button on Dying Light 2 page in your library.
1. You have to go to "options" bar and log in with your actual mod.io e-mail.
2. Then go to "Get maps" and download the map by pressing "Install" button, don't forget to subscribe on needed map beforehand.
3. After map downloaded, go to "My maps" bar, press on any map you want and load it by pressing "Open Project" button.
4. In the end you will get into developer mode and the last thing you must do is to find "Play" button.

Have a great experience anyways!

For what you're looking for, use a proper engine like Unreal Engine 5. Has a lot more features, ease of use, free assets, tutorials, and support.

Here's a tutorial I'm looking at now to get me started and I have no prior experience coding or anything else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-zMkzmduqI
