Newcomer Frogger has released a new character to use in your D-Mods: the Flying Plasma Shocker.

Rumor has it that it uses volts of electricity to damage enemies.

Posted by Christiaan on Saturday February 6th, at 10:09 AM
The Notorious S.K.O.R.N. has released his first D-Mod: a demo version of Dink's Quest in the Icelands.

The Flying Plasma Shocker Frogger recently released has already received an update. It now contains scripts and sounds.

Very nice!
 
New Graphics: Ninja-Bot Die Graphics
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday February 14th, at 09:26 AM
Frogger's here again with a death sequence for the Ninja-Bot from Mystery Island - when it dies it rusts solid!

Or gets termites, or something.
 
New Graphics: Flying Ninja-Bot Head
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday February 14th, at 09:34 AM
An interesting new enemy from Frogger: the head of the Ninja_bot flying around by itself with eye lasers to zap you with...
 
New D-Mod: Three Amulets
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday February 14th, at 10:00 AM
Iplaydink's quest sized D-Mod Three Amulets has arrived!
As he says: This dmod will contain some thing unique for dmods like, bosses scripted from scratch and Zelda inspired dungeons with Zelda-inspired puzzles. It will also contain many new graphics and some by other well known creators.

And I imagine the general idea is to find some amulets, probably three of them.
 
New D-Mod: Historical Hero
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Sunday February 14th, at 10:15 AM
The latest poll is 'most anticipated D-Mod this year' and then two of them are released on the same day!

This one is Skull's Historical Hero, actually the first epic sized D-Mod released since 2004!
Go download all 38MB of it and start playing
 
Updated D-Mod: Historical Hero
Posted by Christiaan on Monday February 15th, at 08:05 AM
The Disembodied One has updated Historical Hero to version 1.01. This version fixes an annoying bug in the beginning where you could die while you still had life left.
 
Updated D-Mod: Historical Hero
Posted by Christiaan on Monday February 15th, at 02:45 PM
ATTENTION: If you're playing Historical Hero at the moment, stop. You're playing a version that can't be completed. Download this updated version to get the debugged D-Mod.

Blame Skull for the messed-up release. All should be fine now though.
 
Download of the Year Awards 2009
Posted by Christiaan on Saturday February 20th, at 07:59 AM
After a full year of Recent Release Rumbles, the time has come to decide which D-Mod and which non D-Mod file are the absolute best of the bunch. As you probably know, the two D-Mods and two non D-Mod files with the highest amount of votes of each RRR have qualified for this DOTY. For the same old rules, check out the previous RRR.

The DOTY is a prestigious happening. The winners not only get eternal fame, but they also get to pick a cool prize. What can they choose from? Well, take a look:

Dead Dragon Carcass Wall Clock
DinkC Reference Book
Dink Smallwood Mug
Dead Dragon Carcass Mouse Pad
Dink Smallwood Boxer Shorts
Headless Duck Magnet

Pretty cool prizes, I reckon!

So, dear Dinkers, please vote now for your favorite D-Mod and favorite non D-Mod file, and please, make sure you have tried all the entries!

Check out the comments to see the participants.

New File: Percentage Based Potions
Posted by Christiaan on Saturday February 20th, at 12:33 PM
Mouldy Bread has released a modification to DinkDude95's Potion Bag System. This modification, called Percentage Based Potions, utilizes a potion system that works on percentages for health restoration rather than fixed values.

Since Mouldy Bread called me lazy, be sure not to download this file out of spite.

Thank you.
 
New Dev File: Healthbar Demonstration
Posted by Christiaan on Monday February 22nd, at 07:42 AM
Check out Healthbar Demonstration, which is exactly the same as Enemy Healthbar, but the enemies healthbar change color and words. Thank you Frogger.
 
Updated Dev File: Percentage Based Potions
Posted by Christiaan on Monday February 22nd, at 07:46 AM
Yeoldetoast's Percentage Based Potions has received a critical update. The update fixes a rather fatal bug that caused all potions to heal you completely.

Posted by Christiaan on Monday February 22nd, at 07:52 AM

Posted by Sparrowhawk on Tuesday February 23rd, at 09:36 AM
Iplaydink has been practising his skills with Blender... here's the results!

Some plants and other stuff to plug into that D-Mod you're making (hint hint).

Updated Graphics: Windmill
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Wednesday February 24th, at 09:47 PM
The absolute LAST and FINAL update to Windmill has been made!
Skorn has attached the sails to the tower so it now animates properly without jiggling about.
 
New D-Mod: Dong
Posted by Sparrowhawk on Wednesday February 24th, at 10:12 PM
Rabidwolf9 is well known for his development files, but after 27 of them here's his first D-Mod: Dong!

Like Pong but Dinkish, hence Dong. Great fun
