#MOTWIsBack

[RithRake24]

Indeed, MOTW is back with a bang!
 

@RazorITA, @Polski Oski and @Bekapro87, your missions have been added in the main topic. Wishing all the six participants the best of luck. I'm going to try to see if I can make a mission before the deadline, but the chances seem very slim.

 

EDIT: I've decided not to participate in this MOTW. I don't have enough time to design and finish by tomorrow.

Dunno if I will make this mission on a right time, but can you extend the deadline? Because I really need to.

 

By the way mission is halfway done.

 

edit: the mission is broken, it has alot of bugs. Seriously it had some good ideas from me but it went downfall ;c

That's unfortunate, Martin. The screenshots look amazing. I would have extended the deadline but that would make it unfair to the six participants who are waiting for the voting stage wouldn't it? Hold on to your mission and fix it, there's always a chance you can use it to participate in upcoming MOTWs.

That's okay, you can hold on to your mission and use it for a future MOTW. As I explained above, it would be unfair to extend the deadline, that too especially since you requested too late.

Please don't hurt me like that man, of course I want you to be pleased but unfortunately the voting had already commenced when you requested the extension of deadline. Next time, Roxie!

[GalacticXp1]

6 participants what a good start, I didn't participate this time but will surely give the best mission my vote.

[RithRake24]

@BeeuX

I sincerely appreciate your interest to vote, however your vote is invalid unfortunately because it violates this specific rule that is mentioned in the MOTW Rules and Guidelines:

Unfortunately, even though your account is more than 4 weeks old, it doesn't have 20 posts yet. I'm sorry but because of this, your vote is not counted.

 

You can, however, feel free to participate in the next MOTW when the topic goes up. 

[RealDino69]

Damn, man. I've played almost all of the missions and the competition is really tough. Will vote soon

I'll tell you that this MOTW did a comeback that we all of us wanted, mission quality, presentation, variety all the sh*t the designers paricipated and nailed it! Let's see how they made it. Let's go with Dtron's first.

Spoiler

The mission starts simplistic, my main character needs to drive to Boss Safehouse, when he reaches. We see a really well made variety of object placement. Some of them were used by DYOM#. And I can't say nothing about a writing because writing for an Italian designer is really good, but characters don't feel like real people in dialogues sometime.. When I reached the restaurant place, this is where action starts. It's chaotic! You have to steal a jetpack just to escape from a horde of enemies: Pakistans, cops, even Russians! Length is allright, its acceptable. The bad thing is the Presentation. Everything went fast for me.

 

PROS:

- Awesome object placement

- Great variety of actors.

- Chaotic shootout

- Perfect writing.

- Allright length.

 

CONS:

- Presentation could be better, I'm not saying it's bad or good but it needs to be more slower and understandable.

- Characters doesn't feel like real people in dialogues sometime.

 

VERDICT: It's pretty good for a designer who is in entry of MOTW for the 1st time. 8/10

 

PolskiOski

Spoiler

Now this is the mission. The quality of this mission is TOP NOTCH! I definitely liked the story of this mission. World War II, German soldiers are doing what they are ordered from the Fuhrer to stop the frontline attacks from Allied Forces and Soviets. The writing is also perfect, feels like they afraid of this war, also depressic. Object placement is also perfect, used DYOM# aswell. SDs are great aswell. length is allright aswell, no need to say. Presentation is better than the other missions. I heard he's gonna add some skins in the mission after the contest ends, will play it for a 2nd time you know why? Because this mission is quite enjoyable and has a 2nd chance to play it.. Can't wait for the 2nd part!

 

PROS:

- Awesome variety of objects.

- Perfect writing

- Allright length.

- Really good cutscene movement.

- Story is promising so far.

- Presentation is understandable and good.

- SDs are awesome!

 

CONS:

- Couldn't you add some other soldier skins while we can't like Soviets being army soldiers or atleast firetruckers? Because I found some Soviet soldiers who are Taxi workers, naked man and some casual people.

 

VERDICT: It's a must play mission, waiting for part 2. It's amazing so far. 9/10.

 

XzeuX

Spoiler

Seeing this from XzeuX comparing to the other MOTW missions, this is an another huge improvement from him. This mission was scary, depressic, and had a quite scary Silent Hill's atmospheric vibe. The story is repetitive for horror missions or MPs. Object placement & effects are well made and also scary, almost sh*t myself when I saw those lights broken in the desert tunnel. Writing is... kinda.. not too much, it wasn't too much important for me, because of a one person and one serial killer who doesn't speak of course. SDs are quite scary and the jumpscare sound was low quality, I heard this jumpscare sound effect alot from one streamer who people keep donating 6.66 dollars then this sound effect and the donate comes. OH almost forgot about the one thing, I liked that ENTER pressing escape. It was kinda hilarious and also awesome to see.

 

PROS:

- Nice object placement

- One quick time event which was hilarious for me.

- Length is acceptable.

- Well done SDs.

- Good choice of interiors.

- Cutscenes are intriguing.

 

CONS:

- Very repetitve start, I see too many missions with the start like this.

 

VERDICT: Really scary and depressic themed mission, I'm not sure if I would give this a 7 or 8 'cus it had some flaws.

 

VenomDYOM (it's poundcake time)

Spoiler

The mission itself is difficult and a it's pretty mixed mission. The story is simplistic, starts in a black car who the playable character gets out of the car by someone punching him that I couldn't see who. Length is good, Presentation is pretty fast for me, Wanted level was on so that's not a good thing. Variety of object placement is good, man everytime I see the object placement I say it's good and everyone is good at it. The shootout is eh for me.. Didn't liked it as the other missions. Atleast the variety of actor placement is well done, I liked how the soldiers are on the vehicle and starting to shoot me.

 

PROS:

- Good object placement.

- Length is acceptable.

- Cutscenes are well made.

- Well made actor placement.

 

CONS:

- Some bugs that was included at the start of the mission, I don't know if its fixed yet, but it's responsible for Venom.

- Wanted Levels

- Mission is difficult, have to cover all the time and wait until armor appears. (well the mission is not soo impossible judging the others we have with Combat shotgun enemies.)

- The battlefield feels so empty, where's the fire or some smokes in the buildings or some roadblocks that it might look like a real battlefield?

 

VERDICT: It's just a decent mission, with empty gunfights and some flaws. 6/10

 

RazorITA

Spoiler

Wow, pretty fun mission. I liked it alot, the start was kinda funny and also good aswell. Challenges are challenging and fun at the same time, here you have a roadblocked bridge which you have to pass it with Faggio, then the other one with the BMX which was hell of a fun for me also 6 stars are on my ass and SWAT forces are coming, eh guess I have to driveby them, guess what happened? BAM BAM BAM! THEY DIED! Length is kinda short tho, it ended quickly. Fell for some challenges but still made it. I really like the idea of this mission, the writing is really good from a Italian designer. Those objects man are so detailed perfectly, he used DYOM# aswell but it's awesome to see how is he making the missions like this.... and no, (spoiler alert)

Spoiler

I didn't use cheats as the general thought about me.

 

PROS:

- Funny start, good presentation.

- Well made object placement.

- Good variety of actors.

- Awesome and fun challenges.

- Ending was funny aswell,

Spoiler

General was suspicious about me that I used cheats.

 

CONS:

- Challenges can be easy sometimes and fast to finish.

- Length was kinda short for me, I don't know but it ended so quickly.

 

VERDICT: Fun, challenging and also a simple, easy mission as he called.. 7/10

 

BekaPro87

Spoiler

Well... to be honest this is the mission I didn't liked the most.. This is probably the weakest mission of this MOTW entry. I mean it's not a bad or good mission or anything else. It's just soo short, it ended quickly. The story went so fast, so is presentation, the object placement is meh. Driveby was atleast polished, it has a kinda fun shooting sequence. Everything is just... decent.

 

PROS:

- Liked the start.

- Polished Driveby.

 

CONS:

- Short mission.

- Presentation, story went SOOO FAST.

- Variety of objects is the weakest out of all those missions.

- Writing could be better. Cutscenes aswell.

- Characters don't feel like normal person. You know, generic dialogues.

- The shooting sequence can be fun, but it can be generic, would be better if you could add some objects to cover. Well it had some but its not too much.

 

VERDICT: It had something promising at the start but it ended so quickly and it's the WEAKEST MOTW mission of this entry. 4.5/10

 

 

1st place: Gold

Spoiler

Polski Oski all the way with his interesting story telling!

 

2nd place: Silver

Spoiler

Dtron with his cold action packed mission!

 

3rd place: Bronze

Spoiler

XzeuX with his good scaring skills!

 

4th place

Spoiler

RazorIT with his fun challenging ideas but they were short.

 

5th place

Spoiler

Venom with his fun gunfights but lack of improvements.

 

6th place

Spoiler

BekaPro out of all those missions. Beka's mission is the weakest.

If I got this right, every Person which don't have 20 posts made after Voting lost vote for that Mission he voted for?

You need to already have 20 posts in order to be able to vote. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. I am consulting with other MOTW council members now. All I know so far is that @BeeuX's vote is invalid. The rest of the votes with less than 20 content count may actually be valid, but hold on and wait for the final call.

Edited December 11, 2019 by RithRake24

[RithRake24]

It has been finalised. The rule about the 20 content count was created to avoid people from creating or using duplicate accounts to vote (or to prevent friends of participants voting without actually playing all the missions), and therefore has some exceptions. This means that all the votes except @BeeuX are allowed, since all the participants accounts are legitimate. Also, even though @newb0rn's account has lesser than 20 posts, that account is an alternate account of a user whose original account had over 1000 content count and has verified his account to be his alternate account (I have consulted with Andrej, the leader of MOTW, about this).

 

Therefore, this means @XzeuX snatches the victory in this edition of the MOTW, with one vote over @Polski Oski, who is the runner up. Therefore...

 

ANNOUNCEMENT

 

VOTING HAS ENDED!

 

Congratulations to this week's winner:

 

@XzeuX!

Kidnapped

 

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to all you folks who took time off your schedule to participate in this contest! For those who missed out on a win, or couldn't participate for whatever reason, good luck to you in future editions of the MOTW!

 

Congratulations, @XzeuX! You know the drill: you have 2 days to make the thread for the next MOTW. Give us a good theme!

 

Before I sign off this MOTW, I apologise for not being able to vote because I was a little bit tight on time due to family activities and couldn't play all the missions. I did partially try some of the missions (without getting the time to finish), and I see a lot of potential in @Polski Oski's and @Bekapro87's styles, along with @XzeuX's. You guys had room to improve but did an amazing job nevertheless. Great work! For the rest, I didn't get around to playing them, even though I'm sure they were all great in their own way.

 

 

[XzeuX]

Thank you for the supports!

I'll start the next contest ASAP!

[newb0rn]

Congrats bud, you deserved it, I was surprised with your efforts and improvements!

[RealDino69]

Congrats XzeuX on winning this MOTW!

[Polski Oski]

Congrats XzeuX! 

[Martin_Strada]

I don't know if its a good idea to say this right here, but I made a video recording Polski's mission, i started to record his because I can play it with skins.
 

 

 

Thanks for watching!
