Thenewguy's Profile
I'm the new guy who comes out of nowhere and tries to do somewhat big things. Well, actually, I'm not so new to Dink. I've even looked at the Dink Network a lot in the past years. But I was always a lurker! But any Starcraft player knows not to underestimate them...
But neither do I exactly like the fact that somebody goes and makes a D-Mod, just for the reason of stepping on my opinion and pissing me off. It's like "Ha ha! I'm making a D-Mod to prove you wrong". That's a pretty awful reason to make a D-Mod, and not what making them should be about. Why not spend the time making a proper D-Mod instead?
2 things.
1.) I'm 99.9% sure he's not making this to piss you off. Instead, he was probably inspired by your idea and thinks he can actually make something good out of it.
2.) Games are all about execution. You can have the greatest idea and still make a terrible game. Likewise you can have a very simple idea and still make an amazing game. For example Dragon Quest 8 is one of my favorite games and it is also very cliche. The execution, however, is some of the best I've ever seen in a game. It took simple ideas that everyone has already seen before and yet was able to put them together in a such a way to make a greater experience than many much more original or complex games.
