Redink1 Why did you release DinkCraft when you never would finish it in the first place.

Because a released unfinished dmod is better than no release at all.

A while back you were begging for SabreTrout to release CC3 unfinished, and complaining about him not doing so. You even straight up said it'd be better than not releasing it at all. Now you're saying people shouldn't release unfinished D-Mods, because having no D-Mod is better than an unfinished one. I know you like to moan and whine about every little thing, but at least keep your complaints consistent.

My GTX970 just got shipped outta the store. When it gets here, I'll try running DinkCraft and post the benchmark results for you Pred.

There's nothing wrong with the tileset. You'll have to be more spcific than "Why is that I just recently downloaded them and I cant see."

Some building sprites suffer from the true colour bug, if that's what you mean. (When you play in true colour, these sprites have a white background behind them.) That's because back when DinkCraft was made, there was no true colour mode - if you play with true colour mode OFF, the problem that causes it doesn't matter.

Jesus Christliquid, Quiztis. Was the purchase of that thing seriously needed? Is there actually a game out there that can't be run smoothly with an older product? I have 760 and it's fine. What have you done?

It was already made clear back then that CC3 was an abandoned project, which means a demo and an unfinished D-Mod would have been the same thing. And you specifically said something along the lines of "Even if it'll never be finished at least release the demo".

As I said, if you're gonna keep complaining about every little matter in this life, at least keep your complaining consistent. Right now you're just contradicting yourself.

wow. You know? Sometimes I ponder on how people like you can exist. Without knowing anything about my card purchase (cost, manufacturer), what card I currently have in my machine or what I'm using the card for, you question the purchase like I'm an idiot that just wasted his money. Ooh, and that fancy italics really adds some oomph to the word, doesn't it?

Look, you want regular text, or do you want text where I can convey certain inflections? There's the option; I'm going to use it.

And yes, I question it. What could you possibly do with that card when previous iterations work just fine for pretty much every normal activity?

I probably spent several dozen hours manually converting the graphics from WarCraft II to Dink Smallwood format, and I thought others might find that useful (or want to create their own WarCraft II themed D-Mod).

And, considering that it seems like DinkCraft indirectly led to Sabre's A Knight's Tale trilogy, I think I made a good choice.

I've been toying with the idea of making a DinkCraft type D-Mod (mostly graphically) for a long time. Problem is, I have so many D-Mod ideas that they all block each other out, so none of them ever get very far into actual development. I'm also not sure how I'd make a DinkCraft-style D-Mod that would be its own thing, instead of a massive rip-off of Redink's original one.

No that not it I tried playing without true colour and it still suffers from the same problem.

Certainly, I would never had made A Knight's Tale if Red hadn't done the hard graft.
