Are you curious about what kind of prizes will be awarded? If so, view the comments.

The 1st place winner will have his or her choice among the available prizes, and then the 2nd place winnner, and the 3rd place winner gets whatever is left.

Ooooooooooh! Nifty Prizes!

EDIT: Hmm, so if I was to enter my dmod in the contest and nobody
else enters, would I get all 3 prizes? *greedy grin*

Aww. Too bad I'm too busy with Ding Goes Hunting which is not supposed to fail well maybe if come up with something nice it will have different endings but I haven't even finished the demo yet. I've got to get to work. But those prices look really nice I think I'll check if I can make them myself.

No, I'm winning the reference with my Dink's the Pathetic (working title, not final one).

So you're saying that you're going to win this whole contest with your first-to-be-released-D-Mod.

No, I was being a smart ass. I just forgot to put in the smiley. Opps. However, this competition is intended to help me be motivated to get a D-Mod done. Then I will write my Force Dragons D-Mod, which will follow on from that one. Then I might make a third one that follows on from that (thus making trilogy).

So how does the judging for the contests work anyways?
Do you choose the top 3 or does the whole staff decide or
does the whole community have some input?

Oh, fudge that. I'm not entering this dang contest if I don't get a three dollar poster frame with my prize.

LoL. If Illusive gets over his frame and I can tear myself away from my other DMOD project for long enough, we'll be entering a joint project. Man that cd looks appetizing...

That CD indeed looks tasty. I have the CD version, though I'm not sure if it's the same one. I'd go for the DinkC Reference, although I don't think I'll enter the contest. Got a lot of stuff going on now.

This contest isn't really ideal for demos. Why not just create a D-Mod for the contest (perhaps take some things out), and then make a sequel later?

Is there any other way to get that DinkC Reference? (Actualy I mean a DinkC Reference) I didn't even know it existed and it truly sucks that I don't have enough time to enter the contest. So are they for sale? I'm just curious.

I tell you - the DinkC Reference is awesome. I think I'll join, I've got an idea (rather rough, but with some work...). I've just got a question - what about, er, SHIPPING a book/cd/poster from Europe to America or vice versa? Who is going to pay for this?

ok, joshriot But bear in mind, that according to the rules, if one player submits more than one D-Mod, he (eventually) wins only ONE prize. If he is the only one "contestant", he wins NOTHING.

It is good to see that there is activity again on the site. It will be fun!

I have questions.

An entry must not be known, before the date limit, right?

If Yes, then what about "beta testing". It will make the D-Mod known by a person other than the author.

If I will enter? The answer is No. I have never made a D-Mod.
I will be waiting the resulting D-Mods, of course. They will be fun.

I have done some neat scripts, which I won't give away, but I hope they'll make Dink game a little bit more "original". I used to make maps along with completing the game and the story, though.

I've actually had plans for this on for awhile. I kinda got stuck on the story though and scripting the intro So I have started from scratch and will finish whenever and release it then. The intro is basically finished now. I just need to squish all the little typo errors and bugs, then I need to make a skip intro option and I can start the fun part. Yay

My bangerang boomerang fun version would, maybe with only a few "tweaks" (such as freezing Dink if he kills all the ducks, maybe), be my addition to the contest, as only failure ends the game, if it did not break several rules. One is that it is already released, another is that it is based on joshriot's example D-Mod for the old version.
