Hi, everyone! It's been too many years since I've been around the Dink Network. I have a lot of fond memories associated with here, and it's wonderful to see some of the same people still posting.
Today I played through Outlander -the first story from the demo plus two other stories. I haven't touched it for 8 years; it's kind of a Time Capsule from my 14 year old self. I couldn't run it with Dink 1.08, but it seems to work ok with Free Dink.
First impressions: Horrible Andrew Lloyd Weber music on the intro. Confusing story. Sophomoric dialog. Too much blood. Unsettling characters. Too many ways to die. Despite these embarrassments, it has a certain charm that makes me want to complete it. I like some of the map design and there are nice spells. The gameplay is interesting. Plenty of quirks and oddities.
I hope to release it sometime, hopefully in a finished state. Unfortunately, I forgot most of what I know about d-modding. Time to re-learn and hopefully do it better this time around. I have to fix a lot of game crashes, hardness errors, and graphic weirdness.
in conclusion, I'm still alive, glad Dink is too, and Outlander is slowly creeping along.
