As Good As Eternity

<BGSOUND SRC="136.mid"> This is my first DMod creating experience. People liked it, so I thought of making a page for it. You may download the game from The Dink Network or here.
Dink is living with his stepmother. She practices magic, but he doesn’t know that she lent her hand to his mother’s death and his father’s disappearance…  Then one day she sends him on errand: to bring her dead water from the forest spring.
Dink has yet to know what a long way is awaiting him... Long ago his grandfather sealed in the stone the immortal Evil, but now he is trying to get free. Dink must become the strong warrior to defeat him and banish from this world for 7000 years – as good as eternity.
The search for spellbook pages, that his mother left with different people she trusted, the forgotten Temple of Light, powerful weapons and magic – and in the end The Final Battle.
Has he become strong enough to defeat the Evil – or is the world doomed?
Dink meets different people on his way, becoming stronger and learning magic.
Not everybody is interested in his quest, not everybody is thankful for his help – but isn’t it life? There are some very strange characters, a lot of secrets and anything usually found in an RPG.
AGAE was written for the people to enjoy  the story, so it is neither too easy, nor too difficult. There are some new graphics, some of it - modified dink graphics, some are completely new. I tried to do my best to choose the music and to make landscapes worth viewing.
If you are stuck in the game - here is the Game Hints page. The Walkthrough also available there as a separate page and zipped.


Bugs&Hints

My first experience of DMOD writing has lead me to writing some notes for myself, which I later thought useful for beginners. Here you may read them. This article is being updated from time to time as I learn some new features.


Source files

As Good As Eternity has some graphics made by me. In the Dink community there is a good tradition to share, so I released source files and graphics pack. Maybe the scripts aren’t that good, as I am beginner myself, but people may be interested.
