You mean, take a random default code, edit it, save as a new js file, call it a plugin? suuure....

Depends what the random default code is ;)

I know you would be bored to tears. I was wondering if it might be interesting to people who don't make plugins, just to see how they're pulled together. Like, I sometimes like watching people make sprites, as it's an interesting process, even though I have no desire to make them myself.

A more serious answer:
Eh, visual drawing is... visual. it is interesting because it's visual. You don't need many contexts/commentaries. What makes it interesting is that the drawing technique they use. Grayscale painting to colorized painting, or splitting parts to make a spine animation, or secretly use the linework layer as shading. You could tell just by looking at it

Scripting though, it probably needs a context, which means, it needs a commentary. Why you do this, and how does that work to make it interesting to watch ;)

Me personally, I am not that much interested in watching other people coding. On the other side, I am interested in seeing some "plugin rules" or "conventions", eg. var Imported = Imported | {} which I saw in most (or all) plugins out there and I'm still not confident with these rules.

I would be interested. Itd be neat to see "how its made" and all that.

I highly disagree with Theo on saying its uninteresting by comparing it to digital art. Apples and Oranges. People have their own coding styles and seeing the result of a code being executed is a satisfying end product (source: watches people code things in Game Maker Studio 2 all the time)

@TheoAllen Yes, but I dont always watch it with sound. I'll watch it as I'm listening to music to see the process and end product.

Without some kind of commentary, it might be difficult to watch without skipping around. Though it would probably serve as a solid reference for those looking to learn how to make plugins.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
