The Dink Network

Hello, I am currently planning on with the newer version of ROG.

The new version should:
- Fixe some spelling.
- Take down and out several bugs.
- Make some more/better humour. (Because SOME of the people didn't like it ). -=I would want your opinion on this one, though =-
- Improve scripting.
- Add some more goodies.
- MAYBE improve and make the map bigger.
- Explain the story a little better.
- A few miniquests should be added.

!!Please, if you'll find any bugs during playing the game, send a message to me, or inform it to us by sending e-mail to legendfactory.luukku.com.!!

IF YOU BOTHER TO READ THIS: The New Version will change all the Story files into D. formats, but do not worry; The Source of ROG will be uploaded aswell.

Download:
You can Download the newer version of ROG at The Legend Factory's Web Site.

I quite liked this when I played it.

It would be nice to be able to skip the talking in the cutscenes (I mean by pressing space) because some of them are quite long and the waiting got frustrating

Maybe change the text colour on the title screen as well, because it's hard to see.

If you're uploading the source anyway then why make .d files in the game itself?

Looking forward to it!

Thank you SparrowHawk.

Well, if you didn't notice, after the half of the game, you were able to skip the texts. I just made a mistake in my scripting at the first time.
For everyone to know:
sp_nodraw(1, 1);
sp_brain(1, 0);
DO NOT USE THE BRAIN SETS!!

The text's color is made red on purpose, so the title screen would be nice. (Some of you might disagree, though)

Well, I just think the D.files would be better, so nobody can change the scripts in the game. And I basically upload the source to let everyone use some part of my scripts. E.g: If you're bored to create a Goblin character by writing all that stuff.

Thank you, SparrowHawk for informing me, (I'm pretty sure I would've forgot the talking ) and being the first one to comment.

EDIT: Oh, Sparrowhawk. If you've played it, please review it. I don't quite like my game being rated with only one review. Because then I can't say, how much people liked it. Etc.

I think .C files would be a better choice. Then people can fix any bugs themselves without having to wait for a patch.

I don't see the point in releasing source packs.

Hur. Easy DinkC v2 can open .d files transparently. So much for that "protection".

Well, the humor was a bit of a cliché, but it wasn't very bad. You could just bring it a little more subtle.

I don't think you should explain the story any better, it was pretty clear for me. And there's got to be something to guess at the beginning. If you want to change the story a bit try to tell more during the time that Dink actually plays and rely less on cutscenes.

About bugs:
-Try to fix the bug already mentioned in the readme, it's really annoying...
-There are rather large hardness holes on screens 153 and 155.

Oh, and don't add anymore goodies if that just means more power-ups. This game has too much of that already anyway. (If you mean cool new weapons/magic on the other hand...)

Bugs:
1. Metatarasal, I don't know what wen't wrong in the "screen changing bug", and I can't help with it. Unless someone can tell me how to try and fix it, I cannot do anything about it.

2. Thanks, I'll take a look to that.

Goodies:

The goodies are about hidden gold chests, and potions. There are also hidden spells and weapons. (A hidden bomb, for example.)
The most of them are hidden. Not in the middle of the screen.

Mini-Quests:

I can reveal one mini-quest's/area's location. It is in the farmer's pillbug farm.

So instead of being in the middle of the screen it's on the side? Having lots of powerups usually doesn't work unless you want hard monsters without a really long game.

What I meant was e.g: hidden stairways.

About the screen bug, DinkC ref. 3.1 says something like that will happen if you use show_bmp() with a bmp that isn't exactly 640 x 480. I can't find show_bmp() in your scripts but splash.bmp and title-01.bmp are both 800 x 600, try changing them to 640 x 480 and see if that fixes it.

Well, I just think the D.files would be better, so nobody can change the scripts in the game.

Swap the D and the . around, that's how you say it. .D files. Not D.files.

That was completely needless. Try to find a REAL mistake.

- Make some more/better humour. (Because SOME of the people didn't like it ). -=I would want your opinion on this one, though =-

Look, if you want my advice (which you probably don't but you're getting anyway) the one disgustingly horrible bit of humour I can remember, was the one bit where 'Jameil' and you, 'Skull' the authors, had a conversation while Dink was frozen. And then 'Skull' said the player wants to get back to playing the game. I found that revoltingly not funny. So, my opinion, take it out, and all other similar humour.

If you don't undertsand that kind of humour, it's all your fault!

You think you're funny, when you send some pictures from Google, where you have wrote something like "You suck! by yourself.

But, actually, you don't have any sense of humour.

All the humour you have got, has been forgotten (atleast in whole Finland) LOOONG time ago!

Okay, you don't have to listen if you don't want to. It was just some friendly advice.
