Different Paths

[AnDReJ98]

Different Paths is mission-pack that allows player to see story from two point of views, give freedom in passing the missions and make a decisions that will affect the story.

Mission-pack contains 9 story missions 2 major choices, 1 bonus choice and a lot of in-mission decisions (Including decisions and different POVs it's more than 25 missions)

Story has two different point of views that happens in same timeline with different kind of missions.

This project has been started 1 year and two months ago. Now, it's finally finished, and ready for playing.

It was just a deal with a local gang around, but it went wrong.

We were ambushed by the cops, everything was fast.

I had to move on, they were all around. Hardly I managed to escape..

But it wasn't end. They don't give up that easy.

Because when i was outside the shop a day later, i saw bunch of cops behind me, and

...

I just hear on the radio 'To all nearest units, suspect is around temple!'

The same second i started driving there.

It was like i was waiting for something like this..

NOTES:

• You'll noticed many grammar mistakes such as 'one hurted officer...', 'i go with to Hawaii..' and similar. It's because i was too lazy fix it or i simply didn't notice it while testing.
• First few missions were made by DYOM V7 since i started working on this project 1 year and 2 months ago.
• If certain mission crashes, report it so i can fix it as soon as possible.
• If you can't remember the password from mission (example: cutscene ends too fast), post here and i'll help you.
• Sometimes cutscene ends too fast and you can't read everything, use notepad++ to open a mission and read the whole text. This is important because of story & choices.
• If you have problem with archive, post a problem here.

Contains spoilers!

• Before starting the project, Nicolo & Marchelo should have been protagonists, now it's Marchelo and Michael. Reason: It was better idea to have a cop protagonist that is chasing first protagonist and shows different point of view. Nicolo was more like a mystery guy that helps Marchelo.
• Las Venturas also should have been featured as another playable city for Marchelo, now it's only Los Santos. Reason: Doesn't fit into story.
• This project was meant to be focused almost only on gameplay, now it's balanced with story. Reason: Decisions that makes huge changes in story would make no sense with bad written story.
• This project should have had 5 major choices, now it's 3. Reason: Had too many missions to make, doesn't fit into story.
• Before starting the project it was planned to have 3 chapters, now it's only one. Reason: Doesn't fit into story.
• It was planned if you save Derrick, then he appears and helps you in last mission, now he is traitor. Reason: Making him traitor was better idea.
• Story was planned to have William on your side, instead he's second main antagonist. Reason: It was better to make big person as your enemy so it gets harder for protagonist.
• This mission-pack should have been storyline, instead it's mission-pack with locked archives. Reason: It was impossible to make this type of story as a storyline.
• POV system should have been able to use till the end, instead after 5th mission it uses 'switch protagonist' system. Reason: I wanted to make difference and more variety in missions by applying 'switch' system.
• Last mission was meant to have 3 endings and dying protagonist by your choice, now it's only one small choice. Reason: DYOM errors in making some missions, laziness...

Interesting.

[DChumber1]

Going 2 Play It

[xMatix]

It sounds pretty interesting, point of viev of every character, like in Reseivor Dogs game : D. I had the same idea long time ago, 1 mission, but from point of 8 characters, good luck with it, I'm definatly gonna play it.

Thanks for the comments. I worked hard more than 1 year on this and i hope it gets attention here as well. I'll wait for your feedbacks!

 

Link of download is right after mission list.

[Chips237]

 

I don't understand what you're supposed to do in Episode 3 of Michael's POV after letting the other Mexican dude die.. I shot all the Ballas and nothing happened.

 

[AnDReJ98]

Can you tell me the name of the mission? Michael's decisions were done 6 months ago, i don't remember it exactly so mission name will help me to remember.

[KowalskiGuy]

He probably means "Different look". But I think, he's missed one target. I had the same when I was checking other decisions. When I've loaded the mission second time, I saw him, killed him and everything's all right.

[AnDReJ98]

@Kowalski You're right, there are some ballas behind you that won't move, you have to shoot them.

 

Anyway, small update, there was bug in last mission, i fixed it and re-uploaded archive, so you should re-download missions.

[Huzaifa khan]

Amazing logo and and great topic awesome

[Chips237]

 

I counted all the Ballas I killed: three who are talking with each other by the crates and one behind me, unarmed. How many did I miss, and where are they?

I found the problem. When Michael first gets there, there are five Ballas: the three I said, the other one who is with another Balla who did not show up. Luckily Michael's police car bumped into a taxi and the Balla who did not show up noticed me.

[AnDReJ98]

It's good to hear you found solution for the problem, anyway i've got some questions that i would like you to answer.

 

1.Do you think this mission-pack brought uniques in DYOM or makes mission-pack feels special and different than others?

2.What's your favorite thing in this MP (decisions, POV system or switching characters system)?

3.Which POV you like more?

4.Which choices were more into story (Michaels or Marchelos)?

5.Give me your opinion on story & ending.

 

I would really appearance your answers.

[Chips237]

 

 

1. No.

2. Decisions, neither of the other two were special.

3. Marchelo's; being a mobster is better than being a cop.

4. Not sure, maybe Michael's.

5. I don't understand most of the story, so I can't give my opinion on that. The ending was average - bad guys get killed, lots of people get killed too. For some reason Derrick appeared at the end after I got him killed by not going to Jefferson.

 

[AnDReJ98]

 

Thanks for the answers!

5. Maybe it's because you couldn't read all dialogues on the time because cutscene were too fast or? And about Derrick, i wanted to make it more clear, it was all the setup for Michael, because he's only who could oppose to William (like he did), and that's why Derrick and William were in deal the whole time, to kick Michael out of police and finish their plan.

 

More clear now?

[Chips237]

I'll post my review shortly.

The review contains a few spoilers, so don't scroll further if you wish.

 

Writing [X]

Could be Better

Multiple grammatical mistakes in the entire MP. Some of them aren't even too clear to be readable.

Presentation [X]

Could be Better

Then again, there were multiple errors (mostly actors failing to drive, follow etc.). The instructions weren't very clear as well, and I got lost in most of the missions. This really needs work among all the criteria.

Length [/]

Excellent

The missions are not too long, but in some they are quite long. Gameplay of the whole MP is about an hour and 18 minutes, depending on your skill.

Difficulty [/]

Hard

I found most of the missions hard, especially the shooting ones. The unclear instructions made the missions extra hard as well, but they aren't really that hard.

Variety [/]

Very Good

Good use of actors, vehicles and objects. Guns were definitely varied.

Edited March 25, 2014 by Chips237

[AnDReJ98]

I appearance your review bro and i agree with everything you said, but about presentation actor falling to drive, follow are DYOM mistakes, so i couldn't fix it. About instructions, i wanted to make players think little more and give them freedom in passing the mission. Example, you have mission to chase someone, i put bike there so you can find it or simply steal a car, It's still Grand Theft Auto. I wanted to make players think more. I added instruction there where it's important (main objective etc..).

 

BTW thanks for the review!

[xMatix]

Downloaded, played, orgasmed. That's very good mission pack, some missions are short, but there's a lot of choices in the story. I was only little disappointed when I realised there's

no bad ending. You gave so many choices, why you didn't made one ending diffrent?

I had the same feel like after finishing Mass Effect 3 :3 Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing it, 5/5

I should took 1 star for that ending but you put a lot of work into it :3

 

Edited March 25, 2014 by xMatix

[AnDReJ98]

Thanks for the feedback! I appearance it. Go to 'BETA' selection and read last line, there's the reason it didn't have 3 endings. (: It should have had endings where 1st protagonist dies, 2nd protagonist dies, and ending C like in GTA V. And i finally see someone who appearance my hard work for this MP, it's been long since i made any MP. Thanks again.

Okey i played the mission, the missions were very good as i hoped. the only thing is that the chips said that i can't get the story properly and when i put the password DYOMISCOOL, the archive said that breaked operation, re download it, i download it many times but i don't know why, BTW, the way you made choose your path and other stuffs really tricked me up. very nicely done, Overall i would like to give it 4/5. i can say that this is result of hardwork.

[AnDReJ98]

Ah, i forgot to say. All passwords should be in small letters. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

[AnDReJ98]

Bump. Fixed one more error in last mission, thought it didn't have to appear to everyone. Also don't forget to give feedback.

I play your first five missions wow! What a great that was I feel that I watch movie everything is A OK! and great

[Target13]

Hey Andrej.

 

So i played the first mission "First Choice" and i always fail the mission after the objective where i have to choose to turn right or continue along the path.

I Don't really know what to do, whatever i try, the mission keeps failing.

 

Any ideas?

[AnDReJ98]

You have limited time. You probably couldn't reach all the checkpoints on time, try be faster or if it's another problem just say. Some people had problems with unlocking archives & crashes last mission though i fixed it. Nobody had this problem, through just say if this didn't help.

 

Anyway, thanks for playing, i'll wait for feedback.
