the great part is that Scawen and everyone is smart enough to use files that not everyone (actually, not many) no how to use. The amount of people that know exactly how is unknown to me. This is good that there is no chance for dumb modifications to be made, and the game can be monitored much easier. Sadly, this also means that making slightly cooler looking 3d models is out of the picture. But the fact that they have control over almost everything is good, and keeps the community under control.
Edit: Besides, the only thing i dont like is that you cant edit ALL the textures... but... eh, o well ^^ they're doing a great job on the game
