My strength lies in scripting new things and detail. I just love to make up new things for Dink and to script them. Survival and Magical Mayhem are good examples of that since they're a lot different from the usual D-Mod.

I also can't stand to leave my map without detail so I spend plenty of hours adding grass and other small sprites in places most people wouldn't even look.

I try to keep the rest of my D-Mod detailed as well. I probably spent countless of hours scripting things some people won't even notice or will just play trough it in a minute. This kind of behaviour makes my progress slow but it's all worth it since it's against my principals to create an epic D-Mod with nothing special in it.

I don't really make brand new graphics but I do quite a bit of editing if one of my new ideas really needs another look aside from functioning differently.

Story is one of my weaknesses I think. I never make up the whole dang story before I start creating my D-Mod. I usually make up a basic story and start working from there. After some progress is made I add more detail to the story and make up the rest of it as I go.

I don't know if my stories are good or bad, I've never released a D-Mod with a complete story before. (Except for The Treasure Battles but that's just a piece of crap.)

I always put story at the bottom of my to do list since I'm just more interested in other things and I don't want my story to have any influence on that. I just think of something nice I want to have in my D-Mod and then I make a story that fits that picture. This results in my story being a bit unclear at first. I tend explain a lot about the story at one point resulting in one heck of a cut scene. I don't know for sure if that's a good thing since a lot of people can't stand to read for too long.

There are quite a couple of things that can make a good D-Mod and not everyone likes all of those things best, so it's quite a challenge to make a D-Mod that everyone likes. I think that performing well on all terrains is a must for a good D-Mod. Nobody likes to see bugs or crappy graphics or hear music that makes your ears bleed. That's why it's best to avoid your weaknesses. If you suck at making graphics don't add any until you're better. If you can't find an awesome midi for a certain place just take something that's not completely out of place. Once your D-Mod is without any real weaknesses it's up to your strengths to make it stand out.
