The world could always use more heroes 
Today my goal was to come up with a list of all the main and side quests I currently had ideas for or already put into the game. Funnily enough, making this list spawned more ideas which I now plan on putting into the D-mod as well. I still want to put in a few more quests, but as of right now I already have quite a lot. Here are the current statistics:

Main Quests:
Grasslands: 7
Desert Wastes: 8
Frigid Mountains: 9
Final Area: 6

Side Quests:
Grasslands: 6
Desert Wastes: 6
Frigid Mountains: 6
Final Area: 0

It's a bit weird to put so much thought behind creating this D-mod, because I've never really planned something like this out before. Dink and the Bonca was done with absolutely no forethought, only a basic vision of what I wanted, unmodified from the original idea I had in 2005 and going for it in 2009. Planning everything out has made the writing a lot easier, which is odd for me. But doing the writing, actually thinking about what needs to happen, where Dink is going, and actually mapping the whole thing out first has paved the way for more naturally written quests to fit the areas, which I can only hope will make this mod stand out.

My next plan of action is to build a test D-mod for me to create and iron out tons of new scripts for enemies, spells, items, and other great stuff that I'm going to put into the game. I might post teaser screenshots if I get something really cool working
