Maybe this is a bit off topic, but I'm going to post it here anyway. When are there going to be some cool new Epic, or even Quest-sized D-Mods? And when, specifically is SimonK going to finish 'Necromancer', the third installment in his Stone of Balance trilogy. I'm a huge fan of some of the mods produced in the Dink community, and of the original game (although I have to say that I think SimonK is the most talented one among you). In sum, I suppose my point is that the one thing this site is sorely lacking in is new content, and has been for some time. I mean, I personally have played most of the longer D-mods, (Epic, Quest), and a lot of the others, generally anything that seems worth downloading (cogent description, good-to-mediocre rating, decent plot, not bug-ridden, and not-horrible reviews), and even a few that weren't.
To be quite honest, this site is about the best that I've found in the entire internet gaming community, as far user-created add-on games go, and used to be one of my favorite places on the net to visit.
However, lately. I haven't really had much reason to come here, as it seems more or less exhausted. And I get a little tired of picking through the bug-ridden 5-10 minute mods that are clearly the result of a single bored afternoon of an unskilled programmer.
I mean this in as constructive a way as possible, but I suppose my main question is: WHAT HAPPENED?
Not long after Dink was released as freeware, it seemed like there was a veritable burst of creativity with regard to making D-mods that has all but died down.
If you've read this far, I'd also like to add that I've experimented with DinkC in the past myself, in order to maybe try to author some of this content that I found so sorely lacking, (rather than merely complain) and that even though I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, I find learning new programming languages incredibly daunting, even DinkC. However, at some future date, I do still aspire to author the superlative D-Mod.
Answers, questions, opinions, ad-hominem attacks are all welcome.

P.S. Why the hell was 'Back from the Grave' never finished by anybody? That one was really cool.
