FIAT Help!
Posted by mimifish on 12/12/01 - 17:51:25
I know I shouldn't ask question so early, but I really don't have much time to play Dink, so I like a little bit more hint...



It appears that I need to get lead in order to have gold, then I can have enough gold to buy some bombs to blow away some rocks. The question is what lead looks like? The soft rock?



There is a potion which seems sitting on a tree where there are 2 ducks. Can I do something about the tree or the potion, or it is just a leftover. There is also a pig that does not move at all in a screen. And why cannot Dink kill the ducks and pigs any more?



AND, Dink Vacation is definitely NOT going to release this December. Even if I can get every feature done well in my dmod, there is no way that it can have a chance to compete DOTM with FIAT. :p Besides, I might use up all my free Dinking time on FIAT...

For shame, mimifish! :)

There is a bookshelf that says where lead is... but examine rocks and you'll eventually find some.  You can't see lead.  Have you found the pushable rock yet?

You'll figure the potion-in-the-tree out later in the game.  As for not killing pigs and ducks, a bug.  Dang.

Heh.  Funny, Jveenhof said the same thing in the comments section.  But you can't release it in January because of EOTv2.0 or in February because of something else that will win me the DOTM again :)  Three consecutive DOTMs for me would rock.

I read the bookshelf in the underground cave. Scrape lead right off the rock. I did not see many rocks around, and I believed I hit/examine all the rocks I saw. Nothing happened.

Well, if I can finish Dink Vacation exactly as I wanted, you might consider postponing your release of EOTv2.0 or that something else if I do release DV. Watch out! ;)

Hmm... must not've.  What about 'tile rocks'? :)

Who knows, DV could be great.  But to me, EOTv2.0 will be my best D-Mod ever... you watch out ;)
