I feel bad about Fall of Darkness. It should have been better. It WAS better. The demo was nearly finished when I lost a lot of progress. I had to restart from almost the beginning which made me rush and just throw it together. After I released the demo, I fixed most of it up and continued making the full D-Mod, but lost it again, this time due to a virus that also destroyed the sequel to The Rise of the Goblins, that was going to be called The North's Pilgrim.

As far as The Rise of the Goblins goes, it might not be my best, but it still is my favourite D-Mod I've made to-date. Too bad many of the jokes are lost on people. For example, King Zaldemar was somewhat of a parody of Hitler. Hujyk is the typical right-hand-man with the least original invention of all time: THE MONSTER ARMY!! Ooh, scary. Dink being out of money is kind of a change of pace from the typical stuff. And the dramatic speech of the knight is a spoof of all the typical dramatic speeches, and is just plain stupid in the middle of such a silly D-Mod. Generally, there's lots of stupid stuff in there, that unfortunately probably work as inside jokes only. But still, the D-Mod is all thanks to my father, really. I could never come up with such good characters and ideas. He's a much better storyteller than me. I always wanted to go back and improve RoG, so that it'd involve a better map, fixed English and more gameplay. And I still kind of want to make The North's Pilgrim, if I only had the time and willpower. It was gonna continue with Dink going north in search of July. Meanwhile Hujyk was searching for The Holy Grail. The final game in the series was going to include more about the Council of Wizards and end in Dink fighting Enduramundor and The Great Spirit of Goblins. Maybe I can still make it one day, if the Dink community will still be around in 20+ years.

You've pretty much reached the end of my awful D-Mods. There'll be one more bad demo from me, but that was made before Fall of Darkness and released a year late, cause I figured I might as well upload it before deleting it from my computer.
