The Dink Network

Brassweasel's fourth and (probably) final DMOD!

This is a quest-sized dmod with lots of new graphics. It is neither a sequel, nor a prequel to the original, but Dink Smallwood in a different reality. A dragon sends Dink to find and use a relic from an ancient temple. There are some Zelda-ish elements to this dmod.

This DMOD has been tested only in FREEDINK. I don't know how well it will run in any other engines, but give it a go (or better yet get FREEDINK!) Please don't hold it against the dmod if it doesn't run correctly in another engine though.

There is a walkthrough file to read if you need help.

Enjoy!

So, I saw the graphics in a screenshot and thought, let's give this one a go.

Graphics
There are so many new graphics, and after a short while I just bought into the whole look, it was great. New land decorations, new enemies and new mystical creatures. 10/10

Mapping
Absolutely stunning most of the time, only let down in some of the dungeon areas. 9.5/10

Sound/Music
The lack of a hit sound with fists was different at first, and then annoying. Music was generally very good, although it got repetitive on Thistle Island, could have done with more variation there. 8.2/10

Story
Very good, although it ends up being very much fetch this and go somewhere, make sure you get two keys. At times I forgot what the story was and felt it would have benefited from a clue or two from the NPCs, but this was pretty rare. 9/10

Gameplay/Scripting
Generally very good, although it got too repetitive for me, and the throwing weapon was a bit too powerful, but only just a bit. There could have been a lot more clues added, especially with some of the furniture stuff you have to do. NPCs not reacting to being hit was also strange. But the bosses were nice and interesting 9/10

Humour
Nice amount of humour and self-referential as well 9.5/10

There were very few bugs that I came across. I didn't teleport at one point, but just exited the screen and came back in and all was well. Occasionally I got stuck on some hardness areas on the beach on screen changes, but nothing major at all.

So, it's a fairly long quest, funny, tones of new graphics, a touch repetitive but very much worth a play.
