This excellent dmod is based on one of the most original concepts I've seen so far: an error in the DinkC engine messing up the world.
At the very start you see the engine running into the error and then you find the world not functioning quite as it should....
The story is linear and very clear: this is one of the rare dmods which you will not need to find a walkthrough for to finish it in its entirely.
You just can't enter the next area until you've finished the quests in the current area. Definitely makes gameplay logical as you won't need to go back and forth between areas because you've forgotten to do something...
Lots of little quests in each area and enough subtile (and not so subtile) hints to push you in the right direction.
All screens have been detailed nicely in line with the general theme.
Graphically I didn't notice anything new really, except for (predictably) the DinkC engine code running graphs.
The music was well suited to the theme and at times really made me smile over the connotations (playing Hotel California in the "resurrection" place must make anyone smile who knows the lyrics to Hotel California).
Gameplay: some of the fighting was pretty hard when other fights you'd just breeze through. Lots of quests and puzzles to solve.
I'd say this is more of a puzzlers dmod than a fighters dmod, which suited me fine.
Overall: excellent ! Keep up the good work and the original thinking. |

well guys this is my first review so dont be too upset if it is crummy and doesent have much detail. But anyway this is about Simeon's D-mod, Its great! defenetly one of the best. I dont have any idea how this guy does what he does.
~storyline~ there isint any other D-mod out there that is as creative as this one, While dink is getting loaded into his next adventure there is an error in the scripting software, great idea it had me hooked from there. Also there wasnt just one goal throughout the D-mod (for example) Dink has to get out of a cave hes been loaded into and there are some problems. Once he gets out its one thing after another. He and his new friends are then taken into a goblin prison. I love variety, in my opinion its one of the things that makes a great d-mod, this one defenetly had it.
~music~ great new music, I get bored with those D-mods where they just take the original Dink music and Slap it into the game. Also if its stuck on like 20 screens so you have to wait forever for new music, World of Dinkc has just the right kind and amount of music. I especially liked track 14 
~graphics~ didnt notice anything new but the game was just so entertaining that i wasnt paying attention ( :
~bugs~ i honestly dont even remember any... im sure there were a few but none that i can recall...
~overall~ great game, I was never bored and it kept me busy during all my free time, alot more fun that anything else i could be doing.
GREAT JOB Simeon!! |

This is the one of the very best original introductory screens I have seen in all of the Dmods/Tmods I play that link to a nice starting game. FIAT is also one of my favourites as the screen zooms in to one of the dude's eyes and FIAT starts. I could say that this is the better intro between the two. It makes an analysis of the default scripts of Original Dink Smallwood's story folder, then sees that the intro.d script has an error and the screen crashes, creating a whole new game in which in DinkC scripts are wrong and something seems to create all this errors.
But it would be better if the scripts were put in the same form as that in the story folder until intro.d as that would make the game more realistic. For example I put in a new script before the intro.d script. The game would have been more realistic if the game analyzed the new script as well before the intro.d script. For that I take away 0.1 mark.
Great graphics, especially the one where Dink comes into play. Great gameplay too, because of the puzzles which aren't that difficult to solve for me. Nice MIDI which suited the area you were in and I liked the part where you play in goblin clothes. You also had to play in another DMOD to get an Amulet which was vital for restoring DinkC.
Overall: This is a great game and Dinkers and Dink Smallwood fans should try it out!! |

World of DinkC by Simeon.
Dink must save the world (once again) as a scripting error has the world in dissaray and dying.
The Good: Nice graphics, with a world somewhat run by Goblins. All the baddies are featured here. Money to be found and made. Lots of space bots. Lots of secrets to be solved, and take my advice and have the game saved in a few different spaces, as some mini-quest must be done a certain way, before you can progress. My Gosh, the last Baddie and *friends* was a tough one (a lot of cursing from me). Some nifty puzzles to be solved, which meant using my brain. If there was music, I heard none (speaker problems), but I truly enjoy a dmod where Dink just has to save the world and fix problems.
The Bad: Nothing much really, a few bugs on the puzzles (but the game kept on going) and thinking was required in this game. I had almost finished it, when Simeon had a patch to fix these bugs, but since I had passed them all, I decided to keep on going, as it was not affecting my game.
Overall: A very enjoyable dmod. I recommend it to everyone who likes to play a traditional dmod with a twist.

I had a lot of fun playing this dmod.I spent about 4 hours straight
playing it because I just couldn't tear myself away.There were a few
screen errors where I walked off the map but it was easy enough to get back.
Everything else seemed to work awesome.There were plenty of people to talk to and small tasks to complete.I especially liked being able to be the girl for a bit and then a goblin for a while.And the whole story idea of it being a script error causing the problems was cute.
Graphics were the usual ones,same with the enemies.The music was cool.
I killed 433 creatures apparantly or so it said at the end.hehe.
The end boss was kinda tough but luckily I stocked up on healing elixers
and kicked his butt.

This is my first time Reviewing so bare with me,
I think this Dmod is great
the story line is So Creative and simple that you wonder why someone never thought about make one like this before and
Some of the graphics are a little odd but, it might just be the way it's there were designed but I like it

World of DinkC v.1.1 by Simeon.
Plot:
In this D-mod,something is wrong with some script, and so the whole world of the D-mod failed, had lots of destruction and mess and much confusion too (as I understood this).
Then here enters Dink, who has to see what's going on and try to fix the problem of his world, before everything is destroyed.
Graphics:
The intro looks like somewhat MS-DOS comands of somesort. When you start the game, it just makes an analysis like if you were in Skandisk or some antivirus program. And then it detects the error, and the game starts. That was really nice...
Sound:
Already heard some of these in OIAL and in AGAE d-mods, but they fit very nice to each situation.
Gameplay:
Simeon's puzzles are back, and there was not much action, but VERY like exploring, searching, watching to what everyone/everything said and solving the puzzles.
The puzzles were not impossible to solve, and not too easy to beat. Just alright.
All the game took me like 8 hours to beat, and you had to play another kind of d-modto get an item so you could progress. That was a great idea.
As someone said too, you never get bored of playing it, there's ever some quest to solve and quite interesting cutscenes.
The ending was well done, and I think it just invites all dinkers to make d-mods so the community never dies...I think.
Overall:
A very good d-mod, worth the download. Download it at any cost!

Hmmm. I`m first to review. I liked this DMOD. I relly did. I wonder if Simeon made the storyline like this to have an excuse for the bugs in the game. But it isnt so bad. Only a few.
Plot
----
A error in the dmod has deformed the world and Dink wants to try to stop it.
Sound
-----
No new sounds as I heard. But a LOT of cool midis. They fitted the situation very good. 8,6
Graphics
--------
Didn`t notice anything new... 5.2
Gameplay
--------
REALLY good! I was never bored! Every time I started to get bored was a cutscene and an orginal mission. 9,2

Really a great Dmod I must say. Let's just start with the story.
Story:
An error causes a lot of trouble in the world of Dink and there are many people dying. It's your job to find out what's going on and try to solve this mess. Really, a great story  Made me laugh a couple of times just thinking about it and I think it's great! 9,9.
Graphics:
Yeah well, the funny stone riddle and other things you must solve are a bit new but i didn't notice any other new graphics so I'd say a 7.
Sound/Midi: No new sounds as I reckon but some new midi's. The midi's were perfectly placed though and they stimulated the feeling you should feel on that moment. 9,0
Humor: Hmmm, some things were very funny as dead or playing a dmod in a dmod ... Heheheh, had a few laughthers so it was okay. 9,0
Difficulty: Well.. I'd say a 2 out of 5... It wasn't difficult so it's not hard to finish the game. Everyone will be able to finish this Dmod I think.
So, I'd say you'd get around a 9,2 for this dmod... Hehehe, now let's put some good and some bad things on a row...
Good: It's a great story, with good humor, good midi's and nice quests.
Bad: I didn't find any bugs actually. Sometimes you were walking against an invicible wall but that's about it... So there aren't really bugs or bad things, though I found a man sitting on a bench saying nothing.. only reacting on my punches... maybe a mistake??
Overal:
I would certainly recommend this dmod. It's not too hard and you will finish it withing a few hours but still it gives you a great feeling and let's you know that there are still good Dmod out there!
