If you design an octocanum or butterfly, be ready to spend at least two or three months to go from concept to working prototype. If you use bent sheet metal for your modules you need a water jet, if you use 1/4" aluminum plates, you need a good CNC. Do know that they can be much heavier than other drivetrains depending on their features, so they aren't suitable for some games.
