I've had enough of this and you have too. You're sick of looking at Dink and seeing what it is but not what it CAN be. You want a change, and you want it now. I hear you, that's why I propose that Seth releases Dink on Steam. We need a serious discussion about this. Here's the main reasons Dink should be released on Steam:

1. Dink is a great RPG, and released for free on Steam means it'll easily become popular because you've got a great game for free. It would become among the most popular free games. And if a few months were spent modernizing the engine (supporting modern resolutions, etc.) then it would be even better. I know it would require pretty much rebuilding everything but just think of the result.
2. Workshop: Not only do you have a great free RPG, but people can make their own aswell! And this might not be a big deal, but this is what a lot of devs still haven't figured out and that is that MODS SELL GAMES. People don't buy Skyrim only for the vanilla game, they buy it because there's literally tens of thousands of mods which literally transform the game into something else. And in Dink's case, you literally get MORE GAMES. AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN.
3.Donation: Dink gets popular, Seth could set up a Patreon, he could even build a team. There's many able individuals in the dink community who do music, 2d and 3d art (like me), etc. We could do a proper Dink sequel, maybe 3D.

Now, obviously, it depends on Seth. He probably doesn't even want to do anything big anymore. But it's nice to look at what Dink could very realistically be. Nothing will come out of this probably, but I want to know your opinions.
