Gameplay Mod Creator

I make the game content I want to play.

I’m Wenji. When I think “this game should have this”, I don’t want that idea to stay in my head — I want it to become an actual mechanic.

01 / Why I make

I think in gameplay first. Code is just the way I make it real.

I start from “what would make this game more fun?” instead of “what features can I add?”.

I don’t make simple stat tweaks. I care about whether a mod changes how you start a day, move through the world, and make decisions.

01 / IDEAStart from something I genuinely want to play
02 / SYSTEMTurn it into a complete, working rule set
03 / FEELINGIf it isn’t fun for me, I won’t release it

02 / Selected works

I turn those ideas
into things you can actually play.

World Tree mod: the rooted World Tree body and its Carrat explorerNew release · Steam Workshop + Nexus Mods

01 / Don't Starve Together · Latest release

World Tree世界树

Root yourself as a World Tree that cannot move like a normal survivor. Press Z to extend your mind into a Carrat, then explore, gather, and carry natural resources back to your roots. Growth unlocks starlight, six usable Carrat slots, a private 27-slot root storage, and new ways to survive.

Ginger Island Survival: the player wakes up on Ginger Island's shoreReleased · Nexus Mods

02 / Large-scale opening & narrative

Ginger Island Survival姜岛求生

Because I wanted a Ginger Island start, I made one. You wake up on the shore with nothing; explore, survive, build a camp, and gradually earn your way back to the mainland. Pirates will raid you once you’ve built up enough wealth.

Fishing Net mod: a row of nets placed on the shorelineReleased · Nexus Mods

03 / Daily rhythm & small system

Fishing Net捕鱼网

Fishing doesn’t have to mean standing on the dock all day. Place a net in the water, leave it overnight, and come back to collect the catch the next day. Durability keeps the system from being completely hands-off.

04 / Power fantasy & spectacle

Universal Tool天外陨星尺

A deliberately overpowered all-in-one tool. Chop, mine, harvest, end mummies, and summon rotating sword formations. This one is built for fun first — including the weather-changing “Weather Child” skill.

Starfall Flute mod: the character plays a flute in the farm while score cards are displayedReleased · Nexus Mods

05 / Music system & narrative

Starfall Flute星陨魔笛

This isn’t a one-button utility item. You first find the flute, then learn six melodies through a shop, limited-time letters, NPC stories, and secret rituals. Only when the character actually performs the tune do the animation, visuals, and spell payoff happen: watering, growth boosts, monster control, going home, and lightning.

03 / What comes next

Mods aren’t the end.
They’re where I started making games.

I’ll keep expanding Ginger Island Survival into a bigger project, and I’ll keep testing original gameplay ideas across different games. Long term, I want to make my own game.
