The goblins invade Kersin in amphibious invasion and King Daniel sends dink to Kersin to stop the Goblin invasion.Some of King Daniels guards turns rogue to help the goblins to take over the Goodheart kingdom what do you think about that?
Seems too close to the original game. Waaaaay to close to the original game.

I said in a amphibious invasion a bit like Saving Private Ryan. Their was no amphibous invasion in the original game also King Daniel did'nt send Dink to Kersin in the original game
It's spelled KernSin. Also, stfu Skorn. I think this sounds like it could turn into quite a decent first D-Mod.

Im not good at making d-mods just good at making the storyline for them it would be good some else took the story and make it into a D-mod.
Many people have offered their stories for D-Mods. They never tend to be taken into consideration though. The main problem with taking others' storylines is that the inspiration of creating a D-Mod comes, in most cases, from the storyline you want to deliver to other Dinkers. So if people can't express their own mind via storyline in their D-Mod, it won't really encourage them to create/finish the D-Mod.
It's kinda like drawing. I, for example, can't draw crap if I don't have a huge inspiration for the picture. This is probably the reason I draw so much naked women. I mean... nevermind.

If WDE isn't so hard to learn and use (even mapping could be improved), I bet we could see more dmods with better stories. Most dmods are simply... all the same. Congratulations (did I spell that right?) to all exeptions ofcourse.
It isn't really hard to learn and use DinkC and WinDinkEdit. Come on, I learned it, which guarantees it really is simple. It's just that people have other goals in their life, than to just create D-Mods. I'm an exception of course.
people might take ideas for stories if you leave them room for them to work with it. I would type up scripts, since I love writing, but making the actual map and scripting it can take forever so I started making a map, I plan on finishing it. Leaving all the monsters out of it as to give anyone who wants to edit the map and change it around to their hearts consent free-reign. The one original thing about my map is that it's on the moon. Thats like all I can say.
DinkC and WDE is easy enough. To be honest, if you can't get past the learning curve for that, you'll never get into game development even at the lowest amateur level :/
I mean, jeez, SKULL learned it!

Thank you very much Kyle. I'll just grab this baseball bat right here and get the fastest flight to Belgium.
See you soon!
See you soon!
Oh no, it's easy, but it's also my first attempt, still though. I don't feel like making a dmod that could have potential and having it be awful.
WDE should be easy to learn if you have any experience of using computer software in general. DinkC can be a bit trickier if you aren't used to programming, when scripting you have to think in certain ways... Anyway, if you set your mind to it it shouldn't take to long to learn the basics of it either!
Good luck, I hope you give Dmoding a shot, it's really fun!

First of all, I don't like adding hardness to every single wall I put on the map), and secondly, I had basic programming lessons at school, and I suck. Has anyone here played Age of empires (1, or 2) here?

DinkEdit could improved by allowing you to scroll freely with the mouse
Ctrl+Mouse=Free scroll
EDIT: Oh, you said DinkEdit. Nevermind, disregard my herp derpiness.
EDIT2: I hate DinkEdit.

I kind of gave up all programming, I realized it was graphics I liked doing.
btw, I going to upload the graphics for "alex the Axe-murderer" today, the new character I was going to use in the carnage dmod I never finished!

Why not do both? Finish the D-Mod and Alex will be included! Doesn't matter that the contest is over, hell, I'm still making one for the DDC contest

Speaking of which, how are you doing on that D-Mod, Sparrow?

Hehe I'm not going to finish it! I never got further than making graphics and thinking of a story!

Done quite a lot of work on it actually in the last couple of weeks, still a long way to go though!
