Um, I hate to have to correct you here, but "Legend of Tenjin" and "I, Kara Gu" fall into the "good" category, not "great."
I have played them both. Legend of Tenjin is big enough, but it's a little buggy, and the plotline is inscrutable. Getting the best ending is nigh impossible without doing internet research (i.e. finding a walkthrough). Also, there's a point where you have to find the exact right spot to punch, or you're stuck. I beat on the castle at Kingdom Smile forever, trying to get in, only to realize I had to smack the exact center of the door. Plus, it just wasn't as polished as anything SimonK, or even redink has released. Comparison is unwarranted.
As for "I, Kara Gu", I appreciate weirdness more than most people, but this one is weird in a way that doesn't add a whole lot to its quality. For one, the main character can't use a weapon, strictly magic. Something else about this game, is that it contains the implicit idea that women are superior to men, which I think can be disproven in real life by trial and error.
[Sorry to any violent feminists who may be reading this.] If I recall correctly, the Earth/Air wizards were all male, and thus inferior and corruptible, which just plain sucks, IMHO. Also, it relies too heavily on elemental themes.
Neither of these really has the depth or imagination of some others I can think of, not just Simon's games. "best D-mod ever" is laughable.
As far as anyone rivaling SimonK, no, not really. It was a huge blow to my pride to admit this initially (seeing that SimonK is younger than me, and you know I haven't created anything), but there really isn't anyone else whose work can compare to his. He's on a level all his own.
{Practically no bugs, graphical and storyline innovations, new elements like riddles and such, and plenty of humor as well. Also, in general, there's just WAY more that you can do in his games.}
In related matters, aren't you responsible for the Cloud Castle series? Both of those are better than either of the ones you mentioned. Credit where it's due. Still in the "good" category, though, not "great", but I eagerly await the next one.
In closing,
Best D-mod ever: (Either 'Stone of Balance', or its sequel 'Pilgrim's Quest')
Best effect ever: The freeze spell from 'Prophecy of the Ancients'
Enjoy.
