Yeah, maybe a little javascript pop-up after clicking play, or a "?" info button next to the play could be good to explain the requirements and how to download the native version instead if stuff is slow/broken. But, I think we can assume that everyone would prefer the button experience to be as slick and fast as any other method of playing a dmod. Of course, I could be wrong about assuming that those with less money to spend on hardware are attracted to the DN site, and I admit my system is over 10 years old.

I may just be seeing myself in all of this, but I suspect that many who decide to play Dink Smallwood are drawn (at least in part) by the price (free) and probably do not necessarily have the latest in computer hardware to run software on. My point here is that it might be wise to label that button as experimental, or to have some message pop up suggesting what kind of system requirements are necessary for a good player experience. I strongly suspect other people experiencing what I did would discourage them from ever playing any dmods again. But my experience here was rather flawed in that things seemed so sluggish as to significantly reduce "playability". So, (to a large extent) this means that as long as everything eventually works, I don't mind. I think it is safe to say that I can tolerate slow performance in software that might be over-burdening hardware much more than the average computer user. However, when it came time for the scene to shift to the interior of Martridge's house, it seemed that the game, just " locked up" as I waited more than 10 minutes trying to get the browser to take the game forward.Īll of this took place without any swapping starting on this Pee Cee.

While this did (sort of) take place, what happened is that no text really scrolled up smoothly, and as I pressed to get the next line of text, it would often be the case that one or more lines of text were skipped, making a semi-coherent series of statements.Īs the next scene in the Terris bar unfolded, the same problem continued, parts of dialogue were occasionally missed, though eventually things "smoothed out" and I lost fewer points of dialogue. What is supposed to happen in the start of the dmod, is that text comes to a simple black screen, scrolling up (at the press of a ) while explaining a few things about game-play and introducing the player to the story. The player experience was, well to put it bluntly, pretty awful. Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8300 2.83GHz I have just attempted to play 'All that Glitters' using the web button. Beuc and Seth had both started on creating new web versions of Dink Smallwood just about simultaneously without knowing what the other was doing (until Beuc posted about it on the forum first, of and redink1:įirst, let me again thank you both for your efforts.
While much more trivial in nature, this situation was like when Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz both invented Calculus around the same time in the 17th century.
The GNU FreeDink experience is a little bit different (open source sound effects, upload your own D-Mods, translations of the main game in 12 additional languages, etc.), but it's worth checking out. That means that you, or anyone else, can start playing a D-Mod in as little as 20 seconds without installing anything beforehand (assuming that you have a powerful device, tons of bandwidth, a new browser, etc).Īlso, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that GNU FreeDink has also been available to play in your web browser at.
