New D-Mod: The Defeat of the Terrorists
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Tuesday December 1st, at 07:32 AM
The great hero Dink Smallwood discovers a hideout full of (apparently half-stoned) terrorists and proceeds to do what he does best.

DinkDoodler presents: The Defeat of the Terrorists!

It kinda reminds me of Happy Sunshine Land... without the sunshine. Or happiness.
 
New Files: Dink Wallpaper
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Tuesday December 1st, at 07:46 AM
Boring desktop? Iplaydink can help you perhaps with his new wallpapers!

One has Dink chasing a duck and the other has what usually comes next...
 
New File: Dink Smallwood Wallpaper
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Thursday December 3rd, at 03:50 PM
Even more wallpaper has arrived, this time by GlennGlenn! And a nice widescreen size too at 1800x960 pixels.

As he says: "Since everyone is doing it, I thought I'd make one myself."

Posted by Sparrowhawk on Monday December 7th, at 05:06 PM
Early for a Dinker, Christiaan (together with Joycielaanie) has released his entry for the Dink Smallwood Fan Art contest, only 5 months late!

Where's Your Head At?, featuring, of course, a headless duck.
 
New Dev File: Armour Demonstration
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday December 13th, at 04:29 AM
Instead of relying on his lucky red bandana for protection, Dink can now wear real armour! Fireball5 has made a system where armour items go into their own slots in the inventory, but it's up to you to make the armour itself!
 
Updated Dev File: An Introduction to DMOD Making
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday December 13th, at 04:33 AM

Updated D-Mod: Tears of the Devil
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday December 13th, at 04:43 AM
Tears of the Devil has been updated to version 0.8, and as Merder says "now it is almost playable as I intended it to be".

Go save the world from the lack of evil...

New Dev File: Quest Log Item
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday December 13th, at 05:42 AM
Ever been running around in a big D-Mod and haven't a clue what you're supposed to be doing? ExDeathEvn's new Quest Log should help!

Add it to your D-Mod and Dink will have a logbook to carry around which can be checked every time you forget what that strange duck asked you to fetch for him.
 
New Dev File: Colored Dink
Posted by Christiaan on Thursday December 17th, at 07:12 PM
DinkDoodler isn't your typical Dinker. That is, when he sets his mind to something, it generally gets done within the year.

His latest release: Colored Dink. It's a huge zip file with 3 recolord Dink sprites. All animations are included, so it's as easy as copy/paste and there you are, a new Dink in your D-Mod.
 
New Fan File: Dink Wallpaper 3
Posted by Christiaan on Thursday December 17th, at 07:16 PM
Dink-playing Dinker Iplaydink has released his third Dink Wallpaper. Make sure to download it before the 25th!

New File: Dinkbot
Posted by Christiaan on Thursday December 24th, at 11:11 AM
UPDATED: seems I misunderstood the purpose of this file.

Want to chat with other Dinkers? Then head for the chatroom. For this chatroom, GlennGlenn has made an IRC bot named Dinkbot, but apparently it's a work-in-progress.

To run, create a new file called index.php and put the following in the file:

<?php require("irc.class.php"); $con = new irc(); echo $con->ircConnect(); echo $con->irc_loop();
?>

See you in the chatroom!

A Happy New Year from The Dink Network
Posted by Christiaan on Thursday December 31st, at 12:33 PM
On behalf of all the staff on The Dink Network (yes, even those too busy with sex, drugs and rock n roll) I want to wish everyone a very happy new year! Thanks to all you Dinkers out there for your contributions, support, and spam (perhaps the latter not so much).

2009 was a good year for the Dink Network. We saw a massive increase in forum activity and file releases, and I'm confident 2010 is going to be at least as good! What will the future hold? Cloud Castle 3 and Necromancer? A D-Mod about the cutest little pig you've ever seen?

We'll see! See you next year people!

New Graphics: Snow to Grass Tiles
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Thursday December 31st, at 03:03 PM
DinkDude95 has made the not-quite-last file of 2009, a tileset with a nice smooth transition from snow to grass. Or grass to snow, of course.
 
Updated Dev File: Skorn's Dark Beach Graphic
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Thursday December 31st, at 03:19 PM
Skorn has updated his Dark Beach tile to version 2, making the colours more purplish rather than... speckley.
 
New D-Mod: Day of the Carcass
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Thursday December 31st, at 03:29 PM
For the last file of the year (unless someone is very fast!) Erwin presents a demo version of his great looking D-Mod Day of the Carcass.

I believe this is the first D-Mod from the DDC contest to actually be released...
Not bad seeing as the deadline was only 1st of January 2009!
