Legendary D-Mod author Wesley McElwee has released the first new D-Mod of the year: Infinidink! This D-Mod totally came out of nowhere, but having played it a bit, I must say I'm impressed. Choose to be a warrior, magician or jack of all trades and go to battle! Like in most of Wesley's D-Mods, expect tons of innovative scripting tricks and edgy gameplay. Make sure to run this D-Mod in 24-bit mode!

This is a beta version though so please report any bugs straight to Wesley.

After reading the file description (downloading it now) is this another arcade-ish style D-mod?

Why isn't this on the "NEWS" -page?

Is the ground supposed to be black? It's all black for me...

Try true color mode.

Thanks. It worked.

@Skull: it should be on the news page... It shows up for me anyway.

Yeah, it shows for mee too, now.

I just realized the current poll is now outdated. Time for a new poll!

The new poll just came in.

Alright,
1) ignore my question lol
2)It's not so infinite as I expected... I'm posting a review explaining.

I just realized the current poll is now outdated. Time for a new poll!

How do you mean outdated? It's perfectly up to date.

I do believe however that someone is conspiring against me...

LOL, nice one.

My review's been submitted, waiting to be accepted (or denied, doesn't matter to me so much lol)

Modified the review btw (pro's and graphic sections) after being pointed out of what I forgot (a minor detail but added anyway).
Sorry for double post

Downloading it now! I'm very excited!

Don't expect too much. -_-

No offense, Wesley...

I disagree.

I think Infinidink is a well made D-Mod, with lots of new stuff in it. Gameplay is very arcade-like so I can understand your disappointment if you were expecting a quest or an epic, but it's still a good D-Mod.

I think it was really cool! Great scripting and fun battles!

I never said it was bad. The scripting and gameplay and mapping were good. I knew that this D-Mod had no story when I downloaded it but it still seemed... boring.

I'd give it 8.5. points.

Ohh! I'm looking forward to play the first DMOD of this year. Download in progress.

No offense taken Skull. I welcome any criticism/praise.

Seeing the posts of no DMODs prompted me to want to come up with something just to put out quickly. I thought that this was probably the best option to get something out quickly with some replay value for people who like arcade style games. For being in development for 1 week (although I stole some scripts from FB2) I think it offers some decent play time, but I am not offended by anyone who criticizes the game or doesn't like it

It's certainly no Epic, but I think that is why there are no DMODs this year so far. Everyone is working on Epics which take forever to do well.

From ExDeathevn's Review
"If you manage to survive all the way to the Invisible Slayers, the teleport animation occurs to show where a monster will teleport but little to no more monsters appear (meaning it's not as infinite as you'd expect)."

Sounds like there is a memory leak in there that eluded me. By this time in the game, you should be getting overwhelmed by enemies (spawning quite quickly). I'll look into it when I get a chance today.

Ah, yes. We really need some good romps. Unfortunately I'm busy with an epic, so I doubt I'll finish anything this year. Maybe I should make a romp as a side project as well...

Side projects rock. While I'm occasionally still working on Scenia, my side projects are actually looking like they could be completed within the coming months.

My Aeophian adventure should be finished earlier than expected. Maybe even before the 15th of june, so hang on there
(it will be a romp, but I don't know how good it will be though... )

"Try not to kill any duck"
MOOD SPOILEEEEEEEEER v_v

@Beuc - I'll rectify this with version 1.1

Wait, so the ducks DON'T lower your score?! I thought that was why the pig tells u not to kill them!

Also, looking foreward to the fix Wesley. I admit, I did get overwhelmed when i played as mage, but as Weapon Specialist I managed to scrape through. I've yet to try Jack of All Trades (played as Weapon spec twice to make sure of the enemies not spawning and mage 4 times to try and make it to that point at all )

No, killing ducks do indeed lower your score, but I can put a spin on that perhaps for the less duck friendly...

It was tough balancing out the game so that the 3 classes have an equal time with the enemies... not an easy task. I thought if I can get it tweaked with some user feedback I might unify the scoreboard into 1 list. As it is, I figured the Weapon Specialist was perhaps too strong, but hard to tell since he doesn't have any healing ability.

I didn't find a memory leak when I tested it this afternoon but hopefully if I get more time tonight I can track it down... that is the only reason I can think that the game would stop spawning enemies.

Well, I tried it, but I couldn't get past the second screen. I abused the pig to get weapons/magic from multiple classes, and then the game crashed when I tried to arm fists (I had a sword before, so it's most likely because strength goes negative).

It would be nice if the description box in dfarc mentioned you need to use true colour mode, so people don't have to exit and restart the game. Also, you could use get_truecolor() in the game to inform those that still try to play in 256 colours that it probably won't look very good.

I'll probably play the dmod more thoroughly later, just thought I'd complain about these problems before you submit a new version.

EDIT: Crap, too late.

"EDIT: Crap, too late."

Lol

The pig glitch is gone so the negative str should be gone.

I wasn't aware of get_truecolor() so I will implement that for the next update. I guess I assumed that everyone ran true color by default so I didn't anticipate that being an issue, but I'll correct that (and keep it in mind for FB2).
