The story so far...
It's Christmas Eve and Dinky is pissed.
After returning home from his last adventure, Dinky discovers that his family have (once again) been kidnapped by the forces of evil. A mysterious trail of toys, tinsel, and wrapping paper leads into the night...
Enraged and with nothing to lose, Dinky heads out to save his family from a grizzly (yet seasonal) demise.
Features:
-Dinky, the world's leading Acrtic Avenger™, returns in a brand new Christmas-themed adventure!
-3d Action adventure inspired by N64 classics like Banjo-Kazooie, and over-the-top shooters like Serious Sam.
-Epic snow-ball fights - with Bullet-Time!™
-Hi-tech Christmas weaponry, including: the Turkey Blaster 6000™, Jingle Ball Launcher™, 'The Mincer'™ (mince pie launcher), and much more!
-Northern Style Polar Bear Kung Fu
-Colourful and crazy enemies including Evil Elves, Killer Penguins, and Santa himself!
-More zany, offbeat humour from the developers of Katana, The Real World, and Polar Payne.
-Over the top voice acting!
-Totally rubbish cardboard trees - presented in RetroVision!
Coming Christmas 2007!
About
This project was originally made for university, as part of our game production management degree. The main part of the project (besides development) was to produce extensive documentation, including GDD, APP, and TDD; recruit and manage a small team; and present (pitch) the initial concept and final game. You can view the production documentation on our production wiki. It was made in the spring/summer of 2007, in a time span of under 9 weeks (including pre-production) - hence why the quality is perhaps lower than comparable mods of this size. Since then, I've held onto it, and when I've had the chance, tried to polish it a little.

Coming back to apologize for my comments, im 22 now. How did i even type out a word on a keyboard at that time LOL
Hey I can't seem to get the mod to work, I continue to get this error right after it's done loading up:"Exception in enginelnit: X_Decal: Decal Alpha map's "bitmaps\blood_alpha.jpg" size differs from map bitmaps\snow.jpg"
Would the fact that my Max Payne folder is filled with mods have anything to do with that? Am I missing a file or something? Anyways, thanks for reading my question and taking the time out of your day to answer it. (presumably)
Im getting the same issue as well
9800gt here 2gb ddr2 ram and core 2 duo 2.13ghz per core, extremely bad fps here like 10 constant. Any gfx option i need to change to fix this or something? Running vista

Can you be more specific? Can you get other Max Payne mods to work?
Is that the snow theme from Banjo Kazooie in that video?
Yes it is -- it's a guitar remix by a guy called BanjoPaste
