GNU FreeDink

About the game

Dink Smallwood is an adventure/role-playing game, similar to Zelda (2D top view), made by RTsoft. The game features the twisted adventure of young Dink Smallwood, a pig farmer who leaves his town and goes on a quest to save the world.

GNU FreeDink (or just “FreeDink” in short) is a new and portable version of the game engine, which runs the original game as well as its D-Mods, with close compatibility, under multiple platforms. It also comes with the DFArc front-end to manage and play Dink Modules (or D-Mods for short): fans-made new add-ons - some of them bigger than the original game. And if you want to make your own adventure, the FreeDinkedit game editor awaits you.

As in any other RPGs the player collects items, improves stats (attack, defense and magic) and solves quests. The world has a few villages and towns, dungeons, many various monsters and NPCs to talk to. Secrets, such as hidden dungeons, are also to be discovered. There are also adventure elements in the game, requiring the player to find ways to cleverly use key items in order to progress. The player can level up through gaining experience by killing monsters and can equip various types of weapons such as swords and bows, even though there is no armor – the inventory and equipping system is fairly simple.
