faster's Profile
I'm an American, disabled and retired early, living in Mexico. I'm not the only Dinker here, though, because I've lived with an indigenous Huichol family as my houseguests for the past eight years, and the two boys love Dink! Even though they can't read any of the text. Their baby sister will probably develop her own Dink fanatacism - given time. They love Dink, even if all they can do is roam around splatting monsters. I have to keep the more lewd stuff out of their reach, though.
I'll start off with a few.
I'd really like to see:
A utility - a hotkey not in use elsewhere, for example - that can be used in any DMOD to get Dink out when he gets stuck in the scenery! This can happen, even in some of the finest DMODS.
Another utility that can make the main character walk as fast as with herb boots, so I don't have to use a cheat. The slow walking of the game engine takes far too long.
Cheats like the ones already around, but adapted to the new 1.08 version of Dink. If not, then maybe someone can invent a way to have Dink installed twice on the same HD, so DMODS requiring 1.08 can be played on it, while earlier DMODS can be played on the original version. It's a bummer if you have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling the basic Dink game, depending on which DMOD you want to run.
I'd REALLY like the DMOD menu on this site to start showing again whether a DMOD is a quest, epic, romp, etc. It should never have been taken off!
Sometimes a DMOD will suddenly start showing pink "placeholders" under sprites and programmer comments in the upper left of the screen. Sometimes a DMOD will load that way, and other times something switches over to it. I don't know what inspires that to start, but I'd like to have a quick and easy (non-geeky, please!) way of switching that off.
I really enjoy those few DMODS that utilize sound files when there is dialog. I don't want the visual text removed, but hearing the voices makes everything more interesting. It would be great if DINK himself did a lot of talking that way. It's probably difficult to do, I know, but as a player, not a programmer, I can say it makes a big difference to enjoying the gameplay.
I may have more later, but it's your turn now! Let's TELL the DMOD makers what we would like to see them create. They might find it useful.
