The Dink Network

The effort invested in generating a dmod of any merit is surprisingly intense. There is mapping, hardness mapping, coming up with a story of sorts and let's not forget scripting and dialogues. Unless you are independently wealthy and don't have a job or any kind of life, many months (ad let's face it, even years!) can go by before you are done generating a dmod.

I assume that it is true that there are fewer folks who download dmods nowadays in favor of more elaborate and more modern gaming options they can choose from. But this does not bother me.

I think the Dink crowd is a unique and eclectic bunch that can appreciate everyone's widely varying styles of storytelling, graphics and level of programming/coding skills. The effect of playing someone else's dmod is like getting to know about someone's idea of fantasy, fun and sense of humor. Sure, the better dmods are more fun; but (for me at least) I've enjoyed all that I've downloaded from here. Even those with very low ratings entertained me!

I just hope that there are those here at the dink network who will enjoy the work I put into the dmod I am currently working on. That hope, is enough "payment" for me.
