@Q8Xbox
For Paintown mod, start to modify the appearance of one character, see how many sprites/pictures/format type/size you ll need to get a good result (transfer the images directly on your ps3, overwritten them)

You ll need any photo editor for that, you can have Gimp (free).
For the pictures, you can of course design them or try to find on the net.
For release time, building pkg, sfo etc... you ll find lot of nice people ready to do it for you if you prefer to concentrate your work on the mod itself. Same if you want special effect or port it into wii or other console.
Some characters image might be copyrighted but not real big issue.

The mod done by Markus about Saint Seya is really high quality but even just one or two characters can be really nice to enjoy for everyone (and by you).

Now i ll make request as: final fantasy mod. (in fact the most important is to enjoy and i m sure you ll quickly enjoy to see your own characters/ background etc...)

I think he is asking how would one make a Game; Such as PainTown.

Well for starters you need to know ether C or C++ for coding. Then you need photoshop to make images, And such. Then you need time and patience.

@tjhooker73 ,
oh if it that..well that is other story and i ll add to your advice to look after @deroad works.
Here again it ll be easy to find nice people to help and as you said time and patience is really the most required attribute.
Well, if is more about mod of paintown, i ll add one other request as creating PS3 scene users chraracters. I m sure lot of people will enjoy to play as GregoryRasputin, Hellsing9, tjhooker73 against others famous users (please name some you wish)
Such mod will be certain to hit frontpage new.

I m bad for joke but i ll try:
Don t listen to Mr.Dutch, i asked/requested first to have news characters on paintown mod such as:
GregoryRasputin (as?) Hellsing9 (use the previous image on his avatar, not the recent womens), tjhooker73 (the avatar used is really nice) and i ll add more on the list as:
Sandungas ( as dark Mario), GaryOpa (up to you to incorporate him on the "bad" character you can defeat), me as Meruru or other Atelier characters ( or any other red hair such lightning from FF13) , and others users you like (or don t like so you can defeat them)

In fact, most important part is that, enjoy and don t paid too much attention about people who complain, because you will have for sure if you release anything (even it s less than before, there are still users who like to don t like, but we all are in a sense)

To end the joke, the users who did/ported paintown are for the little i know, really nice and will help you if they have time (or not retired) but try to already have some contents/ precise question before reaching them.
