I had finished making about 80% of "A very Dink Christmas" by the end of September. Then I had to go to school. When I played it again, over spring break, I realized that it sucks hard, and I'll probably never finish making it, for several reasons:

1. There are way too many attempts at humor, almost none of which are funny. Your first quest is to retrieve several scrolls from the four transvestites of the apocalypse and give them to the shadowy warlock known as the Pedophile... because, you know, everybody laughs at pedophilia. As unfunny as that part is, the humor only goes downhill from there.
2. It's impossible to figure out what the hell is going on. (In terms of the story.)
3. Way too linear.
4. There are two bugs (one serious, the other very annoying) that I have been unable to fix.
5. I had a pretty cool story, but I've completely forgotten it.

On the other hand, the fighting is challenging but balanced, and there are a lot of good enemies, along with a few good weapons and spells. The most likely outcome is that I'll release the enemy and weapon scripts in a pack, and maybe submit the dmod as unfinished.
