Farewell to Dukie, an old friend
Posted by Tal on Friday July 1st, at 09:32 PM
Old-timers and newcomers alike will be as upset as I am to find that Dukie, a well-established Dinker whose roots can be traced to the very beginning of our humble site and community, passed away June 25. He was 29 years old. I have not translated the many messages on his Facebook profile or the posts from his blog, but I can at the very least confirm that he had been battling cancer. His contributions to the Dink world include The Dink Smallwood Solutions and Dink Smallwood in the Valley of the Talking Trees, not to mention his "eternally-in-progress" D-Mod The Dink Hotel.

I am unsure what else to contribute - though I must note that he will of course be missed dearly - so I present to you material excerpted from remembrance cards distributed at his funeral:

Ik bin dankbaar voor alles.
Ik hou van het leven en van jullie allemaal.
Ik wil dat je gelukkig bent, zoals ik ben.
Ik wil dat je knuffelt, zoals ik doe.
Ik wil dat je van jezelf houdt, want je bent perfect.
Don't worry, be happy.

New Graphics File: Avoca

Hear, hear! A new monster has spawned from the mind of Iplaydink! It is the hilarious, avocado shaped Avoca. Ini lines are included, so if you're creating a humerous D-Mod, there is absolutely no excuse not to use these graphics.

You shure did a great jerb there Iplaydink!
 
New D-Mod: Goblin Wars - Breaking Point

Sure, his name suggests you shouldn't trust him, but you should still download Castman's new D-Mod Goblin Wars - Breaking Point.

I have played it for a few moments and it seems interesting enough. It's a prequel to Dink Smallwood of sorts, taking place 14 years before Dink's adventure. You play with multiple characters and it takes place on a modified version of the original game's map. Pretty cool!
 
Updated D-Mods: Lame Goblins

Castman and Pillbug have both updated their D-Mods. Goblin Wars - Breaking Point has had a couple of game-breaking bugs fixed and the new version of The Quest for Not Quite as Lame could possibly also have less bugs but definitely not less pillbugs than before.
