Today we finished, what I believe is the biggest scripted sequence in any D-Mod ever, way bigger then anything in the original Dink, depending on what we decide to do it might be the game ending cutscene or a vital linking element between two major places you visit. I have finished sword idle and sword hit animations for the new dink. The only major set of frames I have left to do is sword walk which is 64 frames. I also have to do crawl and make dink in a bed among other things. Until next time... - Xanthos

I'll answer that one redink, Since I scripted the whole dang thing...

The particular accomplishment Xan is referign to is just a cutscene (that pains me to say it after the dozen hours I've put into it).

Its about 400 lines (including blanks lins, barely any comments tho) in the main sequence script, plus another 6-8 scripts which are anywhere from 10-30 lines.

The sequence is only a minute long, and I'm quite impressed with it.

I wouldn't say its the biggest ever, but it's certainly one of the most impressive scripted sequences I've seen. Of course, I haven't played through enough D-Mods to even judge that
