(If anyone's wondering why I'm hosting this MOTW, it's because the winner of the previous MOTW has gone offline for quite a few days after his win. I apologise for not having opened this topic a bit earlier.

boy of the cones 708 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I was thinking to cast my vote to Polski Oski since he made a cool mission, but I humble request to participate with an intro of this Volkssturm. This newbie made a cool mission, that wasn't funny enough. Overall, my vote goes to this newbie. I'm sorry for you. Hope Volkssturm will be a nice MP. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n_Cook 94 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I already knew that I would not win, apparently the missions of gta online only I like. It doesn't matter, I'm still building a mega-pack of mods and I'll still do gta missions online for that pack 2 Link to post Share on other sites

And you did Mission which had 9 objectives and was short. Maybe that's the reason. Try to the make longer missions and prepare interesting Story for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Aymunz 284 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) The MOTW #167 Mini-Review: @Polski Oski's Volkssturm Pt. 2: Spoiler Just as usual, Polski does his best in creating the perfect environment for his mission by whatever means necessery! He used the skin mods to maximum effect. In addition to object placement which set the scene perfectly for a destoryed city in Germany. And the ambience sound of war added a lot to the feeling of immersion! The cutsenes were alright. I don't think there's a lot of room to improve in this section (due to the obvious limitations), but they looked nice because of all the surrounding environment. The story was straightforward. It was suitable for a single mission and It matched the tone well enough. Ernst sacrificing himself for the comrades was a good twist, I guess. The dialogue was a little bit weak though. A lot of it seemed like it was just to fill in the blank. But It wasn't that bad. The gameplay part was nice. With a bit of variety in the tasks and a good balance in difficulty. The high accuracy of the enemy actors was compensated by a good amount of barricades to take cover on. Overall, in my opiniion, your mission killed the competition, man! @Willard500's A Trip To The Countryside: Spoiler Welcome to the dyom community, I hope you'll enjoy our company! Your mission was fun in its approach. For a begginner your designing skill is great! So what's more fun than to just cruise around in the countryside? Doing so as a police officer! I wish there was more police based missions like this around here. There wasn't much in terms of setting the ambience in the mission other that some objects here and there and the horrible weather. But not much was missed, either. The cutscenes were just fine. No cutscene felt odd to me. The dialogue was the best in this MOTW! It felt natural and funny and I liked the companionship in it. Good job on that! The gameplay was pretty basic. A "go here, go there" followed by a 3 stages shootout. However, I liked the patroling part more because it added to the "police officer" feel. The shootout was alright as well. Good job in this part! Overall, I think this is a great start! Also, I think it could actually be a fun mission pack! If you're ever interested to making a mission pack out of it, I'll be interested to play. @Cap'n_Cook's GTA Online Last Play: Go Figures: Spoiler Ok I see how you tried to implement the "GTA Online style" mission in this Spoiler (btw I never played gta onlie because "potato computer" but I played in various MTA servers (like Cit) that shared a similar style) .And I can imagine it could work in a great way. But your mission had severe problems that diminshied the experience. Not all missions need introduction, but I think most good missions have some way of introducing the player to what they're about to play. Even a random GTA online mission could use one, com'on! I don't see why is it necessery to make the checkpoints invisible here. it doesn't do anything but give a hard time to the player to find the location. It gets worse when i'm supposed to find a van. This time there was no marker either. Just why? Ok, now I found the "van". But why doesn't it trigger the next objective? Because the trigger is here? My bad, it's the other van.. Now this is the point where I couldn't complete the mission no more. Reached the checkpoint, but nothing happens. I honerstly don't know if it's a bug from me or from the mission itself. But I tried going all around this area to continue, to no avail. I liked the idea of it. it even inspired me to make something similar. But the implementation sucked fro me. Sorry if I sounded harsh, no hard feelings! Annnnd, my vote goes to: Spoiler @Polski Oski Edited June 16, 2020 by Aymunz 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was rushed as I came in late in the MOTW, but I still got it anyways Originally, you were suppose to wait for the tow truck to come by, after a while. Sam and Joe realized that its been an hour and the tow truck was suppose to come here by now. They checked the gas station and realized all off them have died. Suddenly, Sheriff in the radio was requesting immediate backup, once Joe and Sam got there, Sheriff told both of them that he had already he called the military, after a few shootouts. Charles came in and brought some weapons from the motel. A helicopter was suppose to appear too. But it had no purpose being there. Anyways, And yes I'm making currently a missionpack related to my entry. Which A Trip To The Countryside is actually the third mission of my planned missionpack.
