On this dandy New Year's Eve (New Year's Day for some of you), the crazy Englishboy SabreTrout has also provided us with a demo of the upcoming D-Mod Once a Hero. The dmod.diz file says that a young man named Dink Smallwood has his life changed forever when he and a friend stumble across ancient crap, but I felt that this excerpt of slightly broken English from the readme file sums it up best: "This is d-mod features many new features not seen before." How dandy!

I would like to point out that these features don't really come into play in the demo. I hope you all enjoy it, however.

The game crashes if you try talking to Blaine after exploring the hideout. Yay.

Thanks for making this demo!

I'm not new to playing Dink, but new to posting, and have sort of begun my own D-Mod. To see yours gives me hope - to finish my own and to have something good to play!

Hope you have time to finish it soon. Love the spiders

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. 
What should I say? It's probably the most promising demo I ever played(maybe except for crosslink). One question: will it be finished untill 2010?
Anyway, SabreTrout did a great job.

The game also crashes if you try talking to the farmer after killing all of the spiders. Yay again.

EDIT : Oh, and it is one of the best demos I've ever played. Can't wait for the full version.

Nevermind, I think I know why the game crashed. The real problem is that the spiders seem to respawn after a while, so you can kill the same spiders over and over, and so I killed more spiders than necessary, which caused the bug. I think.

It's a bug nevertheless.

I read the Readme and some of those features you plan to do are cool.

If you would, that would be good. Seenig what people liked and disliked about the demo will surely help improve the final version of the d-mod.

I object 
If you'd like a review I might write one, I'm not used to it, but I could try my hand at writing one.
