If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
One thing I'd like very much to see changed is the save system. Those numbers mean nothing to me, and nothing tells us what they're supposed to mean, either. But worse, it's often hard to tell which savegame you want, because you can't write in info about it, to help you remember. Just those stoooopid numbers. Knowing the level number is usually not enough.
I'm sure DMOD authors probably can't fix this. It's probably part of the basic Dink engine. But aren't DMODers able to alter that engine, since rtsoft has given over absolutely everything to the public domain? Why couldn't the engine, too, be altered? Hasn't it already been altered, when people change the status bar, adding new stats and stuff?
I'd also like to see a little utility to give herb boots only. I often use a cheat, simply to get them, so I don't have to take forever to get places. It would also be nice if the herb boot utility only made him walk fast, rather than appear to be having a siezure when he's standing still.
In addition, I'd like those who make DMODs with both bawdy and no-sex versions to make the latter truly G-rated, so kids can play them without embarrassment to the adults. Sometimes they're not entirely unbawdy. Adding a password thingie to get into the bawdy version would also help. Kids love Dink.
I want to thank those DMODers who offer the more G-rated versions. As for me, I don't mind the bawdy, except when a kid walks in to watch me while I'm playing Pilgrim and I'm just about to have Dink enter the bordello...
I would extremely much like to get together with some people who want to make a Spanish translation of Dink and its DMODs. I live in Mexico, and the Huichol kids whose family lives with me love playing Dink, but miss out on a whole lot. They can't follow plots at all, but just tear around bashing monsters. I'd like to change that.
And hey, anyone want to do a Dink DMOD about a massive migration? I've got the perfect one for them to do - a whole civilization migrating over torturous terrain on foot to escape an invader.
