Contest: Non-combat D-mod
Posted by SabreTrout on Tuesday April 6th, at 10:23 AM
Ever wanted to make a d-mod, but didn't know where to start? Are you a long time D-Mod developer who needs a kick up the backside?

Well, we've put together another contest. Yay.

For this D-Mod Contest, you must create a D-Mod without any combat. In most D-Mods combat is integral to Dink completing his quest. Whether you're smiting Goblins, stabbing Dragons or putting the boot into a Pillbug, it's a rare d-mod which doesn't involve bloodshed of some description.

Have you got the creativity and awesome power required to make a d-mod which doesn't rely on this gameplay tenet?
