Contest: Failure D-Mod - Status & Prizes
There are only six weeks left for the Failure D-Mod Contest. If you plan on participating, or are even just thinking about it, please post a comment. It would be nice to get a rough estimate of how many entries I might expect.
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.
This version of the Dink Smallwood contains v1.05a, which is the last version burned to CD. It is in mint condition, with no scratches whatsoever.
A brand new print of the DinkC Reference, shipped directly from the printer.
A brand new print of a Dink Smallwood poster, shipped directly from the printer.

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*

don't bet on it, I want that dinc reference, second choie, poster
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.
God... I've been working on my D-Mod since the contest begun, but I don't think I'll be done in time

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).

I forgot to mention, the poster doesn't include the frame.
Ah, the DinkC reference... I wonder where it went It has the 1.08 stuff too, hasn't it?
Anyway, I'll try to make something.

I think I'll sign in.
WHAT?! No frame?!
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.
Hopefully I'll be able to piece something together. I've been tinkering around with some ideas, anywho.
I took a picture of the DinkC Reference v4.0, which is a copy I created back in January. The winner of the contest may receive the DinkC Reference v4.1, which will feature a few corrections.
The DinkC Reference prize is, in fact, a book.
I took some pictures of the DinkC Reference a few months ago.
I am the possibly contesting person...
If demos can be considered...
...and D-mods featuring gratuitous usage of the word "poop"

Aww, crummbs, even Mr.None couldn't beat that.
EDIT: Honestly, I kinda like the poster best.

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?

In other words, what I already planned to do.

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.
They will probably be available to purchase in a couple months.
You're not the only one! I want it, too! And at this rate my university studies will keep me from even starting the dmod! Assignment 3 for Programming Fundementals is really hard! And we have Assigment Four coming soon!
Well, I about a quarter of the way finished with my D-Mod.
if the prize was a headless duck shirt i would create the greatest dmod of all time
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?
i assume part of the prize is the prize gets shipped to you, wherever you happen to live. theres a good chance i will win it ALL though, so dont worry.
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.
little do you know I HAVE INFILTRATED THE DINK NETWORK WITH MANY ALIASES AKA SABRETROUT MAGICMAN WC TAL I AM EVERYONE I WILL SUBMIT 20 DMODS AND WIN ALL THE PRIZES FOR MYSELF I HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS SINCE THE DAWN OF THE SITE
How come all of your names have differant working IP addresses? Do you want me to believe that you also have 20 computers in 20 different houses scattered throughout the world?
OMG! You are him too!
EDIT: Since Josh is everybody, then somebody let me know when Anarchy Hobo Party is coming out.

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.

Nice! I haven't been to a good Anarchy Hobo Party in years! The last few have been disorganized messes of slobs, hopefully this one will be better.
yes it will and its coming out right after windmere
Huzzah!... I have completed my map. What have you done in the past day?
EDIT: Hey Josh! You and magicman are both on right now. Am I seeing double?!

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 am working on a DMOD as well, it might not make it before the due date, and on that, who knows if it'll be finished at all Slooowly progressing (working on the intro)
Well, even if you don't make the deadline, release it anyway The D-Mod scene has been so dry lately.
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
I've been working on a D-Mod to this contest since the very start, but I have had a lot of graphic issues that really have slowed me down... I was wondering... Could we delay this contest just for a week or so? I really want to join!
"Well, even if you don't make the deadline, release it anyway The D-Mod scene has been so dry lately."
You mean.. this past few years..?
You mean.. this past few years..?
Woho! I think I'll be done in time, so you can look forward a D-Mod from me
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.
