What I plan for my DMOD Part Two
This is a continuation of where I say what I plan for my DMOD, and where I would please like you to make whatever constructive comments you would like, and I thank you all profuesly (see the similarly named thread for what else I plan) and kiss your divine boots.
Oh well, here is what else I plan (besides bothering to spell better one of these days):
$$$$ Dink will have a few small mini-missions for the player to engage in withinm Dinks village, the start of the game of course, if the player so chooses, for instance finding the Shamans knife.
Choosing not to complete these missions will not result in the player missing out in much, just a few useful items, and the player will quite possibly find more enjoyment out of taking abit of time out to complete the missions in the village and the occasional mini-mission in the game. Mind you, it would seem this is not too unusual for Dink games.
Also completing the mini-missions reveals more of the story than you would otherwise get, as bonus story material you would not otherwise get. Which I hope for some at least would be some incentive to some of them.
^^^^ Some points of the DMOD get really quite silly indeed, at one point I have a walking house that thinks it is a duck, and lettuce etc with duck and pig brains. Last time I checked, noone found this too silly, but how far do you feel I could go before going too far?
)))) There is going to be ALOT of dialogue involved in the DMOD, if you want, you will be able to spend hours just chattering to characters about stuff. Like the bit where you find Death on holiday, you can talk to him about his wife and all that. But you can choose not to talk to those people and not have quite such a rich expereince. Of course, I imagine this would not be too much of a problem for anyone, as I said, its easy not to choose to talk to people in the game more than you need to, the key topics are easily to distinguish, of course.
#### I have borrowed an element from Quest For Cheese. I am putting in various hidden areas, that while are not necceassary for game completion, do contain useful items and more interesting characters to talk to, so far its mainly potions and such.
Well, this will do for now, I have to go cook a 11 39 Pm snack...thanks for reading this all folks.
