Whoa, are you trying to... make me rush B?
No.
But... the game is finished! The only thing I took a look in the walkthrough was the fact that the cork is located in the Oasis, nuff said
I see. Some of your earlier remarks gave me a different impression.
Ok, now where was I with the bugs numeration? Yep, there are more You know, in the meantime when I was not here for few years I was a tester and a beta tester of few games, so some habits just stayed with me.
Ah yes!
9. Probably related to 6: when I was in the chamber with the coffin I decided to save the game and - despite I used that ability once at the very beginning, near the stone that Dink was resting under, once in the Oasis and once in the mine - I've been told that I still got 6 uses and it was after I saved my game, so something is definitely wrong here.
I'm not sure how this is happening. In fact, it is hard for me to figure out how it is possible, but I made a change to try to prevent it from happening again.
10. When Dink is about to leave after using the stone he says "Take me back take me back...", intended?
Well, yes, it was intended. But I added some needed punctuation to make it more clear what is happening.
11. When I tried to go back, but without the Scarab and I went upwards through the entrance I mentioned earlier
The ripplestone should prevent Dink from going back if he does not have the Scarab, and Dink even realizes that (thinks about it on screen) if he attempts to do that. I'm not sure what you are talking about here.
(game freeze bug you took care of) Dink disappeared and I was only seeing his voice talking something about some... planks?
So, Dink "went upwards" (go north one screen?) when the ripplestone did not take him to his preferred destination and then he mentioned planks? This is puzzling, I must say. Dink mentions planks in several places, all in the Western High Desert near some planks, ONLY IF he "attacks" those planks. So, I have no idea how to reproduce this issue or even any way to guess what happened.
12. Two screens for you: a hardness bug and a problem with the design of the map: if you leave the screen with the pyramid through the top right part of the screen Dink gets stuck in a rock.
Okay, I added a few more rocks and some additional hardness to the area near where you attempted to "leave the screen with the pyramid through the top right part of the screen" (the 1st screen in your list below).
Overall the desert map is not that polished as the jungle in Last Quest Part 3.

The 2nd screen in the list above seems to be the one that is 1 screen north of the screen where Dink finds a grave and a stone to rest under until evening. I was not sure what exactly you found troublesome here, but I tried to expand certain hardness areas.
Generally if you memorize the whole map the game actually becomes easy, even with the damage taken while walking through the desert. I never used the revival offered by Apollo or smelled the flowers, even forgot about having them. Not sure what I could use other 3 bombs for.
So then these complaints:
[
I always like to check all the areas when I am playing, find all secrets and your dmod makes it impossible. Even if I use a kerchief and dropping all the gold Dink is still constantly losing health no matter if you change the area or not. So as I said you are in a constant rush: run (to proceed for as long distance as possible) - fight - avoid food - get hit - manage health - use anti-venom kit (5 times space pressed) - fight - run - run - run... AAARGH! Even according to Bear Grylls surviving on a desert isn't THAT hard. Or rather annoying.
]
about the ability to survive in the desert were not necessary after all? You never used Apollo's help or sniffed the magic flowers? You should have mentioned that before.
Nevertheless you can make final fixes and upload the 2.0 version - as soon as you hopefully will deal with the problems you are experiencing.
I'm not sure when I will upload the 2.0 version, but I'll mention it here when I do.
But don't go far! Next dmod: Glitters! MWAHAHAHA!
Okay, I check into the Dink Network at least once a week. Just be sure to separate those comments from these and put them into the "File Discussion" section for "All that Glitters!".
No.
