Welcome to "Let's All Play Dink Smallwood," a screenshot LP by Cocomonkey!
Before the whole "Let's Play" video thing took off, the phrase "Let's Play" generally referred to forum topics where people went through a game with a series of screenshots accompanied by text. In between updates, people would vote/suggest what to do next. Of course, this sort of thing works MUCH better on a forum where you can display images, but I'm going to do the best I can here. Make sure to click all of the links as soon as you get to them, or this won't make much sense! ...To be honest, it probably won't make much sense anyway, but that's half the fun.
Of course, we're all familiar with this game, but I intend to do things differently in this run. Read on, and be sure to post your suggestions afterward! I guarantee you'll be surprised by what you find.
OK, so let's start. In the beginning, Dink Smallwood was spontaneously formed into being inside a tiny house, where his mother told him to do the same boring chores she always does.
Dink grabs the pig feed and heads north. Hey, what the Hell is up with this "town" anyway? Why would you put a fence around three houses and give it a name? Dink's mom's property takes up a third of her hometown. Think about that.
Dink finds a way to rebel against his mother's commands. Take that, mom! Either that, or he's gone insane already. It's kind of hard to tell.
Some jerk shows up and taunts him, but I think he may be blind or crazy, as the answer to his question is quite obvious.
Dink's mom is none the wiser about his son's betrayal (for now, at least). He sends him off to talk to some old person that I don't care about, and neither should you! The only correct way forward is to punch her stupid duck before it can get a word off. That way, we don't have to go into her booze-stained house anymore.
Upon going home, Dink's slave-driver lays another "do my dumb chores" trip on him, but he's not having any more of that. You're not the boss of me anymore, MOM! I'm sixteen years old, GOSH. Or however old Dink is. I dunno. Anyway, her "get AlkTree nuts" quest is dumb, and she'd never use them anyway if we did get them, so I'm going west instead. I mean, I want adventure here! The box didn't say "Exciting chores-doing action."
Oh, but first Dink runs into a tiny wizard man and immediately puts his foot in it. Dink really needs to work on improving his sensitivity toward hilarious small people in adorable hats.
Not far into the game, I encounter what I think must be a serious bug. You see, there's this complete jerk who wants to swindle people out of 100 gold in order to let them cross a bridge that is clearly public property. So I do what we do to jerks - punch them until they either stop being jerks, or simply stop being - and this happens. Clearly, this can't be right. donkeys are not supposed to be invincible, especially not donkeys standing on bridges that clearly don't belong to them.
So, I went into the scripts and I found the problem almost immediately. I've indicated it for you here. I don't mean to put down the hard work of the developers, but it's a shame they left in an oversight that's so easily corrected. Anyway, I went ahead and fixed it. Back to the game.
Oh my goodness, yes. YES. I've got to level with you guys, I think this is the most fun I've ever had.
...Hmmm, maybe Dink got a little bit TOO into it, actually. Attracted a bit of attention. Oh well, I'm sure nobody's going to miss that guy.
With that out of the way, Dink marches on to Terris to continue his magnificent "Festival of Not Giving a Crap." Soon, a sign catches his eye. This would be a good way to get that annoying mom of Dink's off his back.
Dink inquires about the sign with the gentleman he meets inside the house, who seems a little too happy to see Dink. He introduces himself.
Unfortunately, Dink commits a bit of a social faux pas early in the conversation. Thinking quickly, he manages to save it. Yup, smooth as silk.
The house ends up being a bit outside Dink's price range of "no money." Selecting the highlighted option, he tells Charlie that he doesn't have QUITE that much, but he'll be back, and leaves.
Okay, I think that's enough to get us started! Let me know what you think we should do next! Should Dink try to raise the money to buy a house? Should he go back and do his mom's dumb chores after all? Or something else? This game is full of possibilities.
