You don't need to extend App to add methods named OnCreate, OnUpdate, and OnRender to your classes. These methods are being overridden when you extend App in a class, so that mojo has somewhere to look and utilize the code that you write when you instance a new App class of your design in the Main entry point of the project. The naming convention is there mostly as a convenience to you.
For most objects, I use the New() method for things I'd normally put in a method called "OnCreate", and have two other methods called Render and Update, respectively, which get called in the OnRender and OnUpdate methods of my main App instance. You can use a similar convention, or basically anything you want, but you don't need to derive all objects from App. In fact -- as Jesse said, it's probably a bad idea to do so, unless you know exactly what App is doing (and need your objects to do what an App does)!
