This was an experimental collaborative dmod set up by Redink1, where anyone could edit the dmod and the changes were visible to everyone in real time. I don't remember how exactly it worked but it was a blast jabbering with people in the Dink Chat and adding stuff into the dmod, even though the actual editing tools were quite limited. There was talk of doing more of these (along with maybe having more advanced editing capabilities) but alas, as of 2025/09/19 it's never happened.
Playing this after years, it was surprisingly more substantial than I remembered. There's a fair amount to see and do and plenty of easter eggs, and even a main quest and an ending of sorts. It's quite avant garde of course, as expected with so many cooks in the kitchen. Having contributed to this project myself, it was a little bit surreal playing it after so long, encountering something and thinking 'Wait. Was this bit added by me? Feels like something I'd do', and indeed that was the case. You can also clearly see the handprint of other authors, like 'A-ha. This is obviously a RobJ bit', etc. Everyone has their own style.
The mapping is surprisingly pretty and visually interesting, even if it's mostly just pasting decoration everywhere. If I recall correctly you couldn't edit the tiles or add map screens, so that was about all you could do.
It's a very bizarre dmod, and not a regular adventure. But it's certainly interesting, and worth spending 15 minutes in just to see all the different stuff.
