The mission is currently in the building phase and I aim to publish it within the next two weeks.

Sounds perfect for getting to know Tanoa-looking forward to it. one thing i would suggest-have some kind of goals or destinations.A lot of survival style missions can feel aimless if the aim is just "escape the island" or "find a boat" etc.

That's a good idea actually, I was kind of toying with an objective such as: "Make your way to the radio station to contact your police chief" or something along the lines of that, I am open to ideas though, so if you have anything shoot.

I think that's a perfectly fine objective. Something in that vain anyway I think would be plenty enjoyable in a mission of this type.

Thanks for the feedback I am glad some people are behind my mission

[ineptaphid 6413]

Yes-the objectives do not need to be anything amazing-literally just so that the player has a direction to travel in and a point to make it to. other wise the random wandering gets annoying fast in my opinion. Simpe stuff like -get to radio tower, find hidden ammo cache, look for downed plane...anything

"Escape the island" and "Find a boat" are already very good goals in my book. Much better than "just survive while looting empty cans, reasons to be added later, maybe". Side-missions or extra tasks or what have you, to do this or that in the short term are of course an extra, but I am already quite pleased with a goal to find a boat.

Absolutely-I am happy enough with those goals as well-I just meant that it helps if the "find a boat" goal has a suggested area or direction to investigate-so it does not feel as aimless wandering.thats all :)

Well i have updated the changelog with some objectives and other things if you guys wanna take a look.

[ineptaphid 6413]

looks perfect-can't wait to play :)

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

Yep. Sounds good to me. :)

As for objectives what about the partner is not dead but unconcious.

You need to find assistance and return to rescue them. If you wanted to you could also include a time limit on it so that you have to return with medical aid within a set time.

I don't know. I'm thinking this mission might be my first venture into Tanoa and the last thing I personally want to do is rush.

Though the task itself does seem neat. I'd just rather not feel pressure to hurry with my first foray on the map. Just my opinion of course.

One of the main reasons I wouldn't do that is because it would require heavy scripting, I already have enough scripts in the mission (some of my own creations, some others) and I don't want to bog it down. Sounds like a cool idea though however I don't think I will be incorporating it.

I think you are right there.ALso as  herosandVilliansOS above said-we don't want to rush in a mission designed to explore Tanoa. Also...Tanoa is demanding enough without complex scripting running too ;)

[Robert_FMIS 67]

I am sorry to say that the mission has been cancelled. Reason being is that certain legal matters have come up (unrelated to the game) that I need to attend to, in saying this most of my time will be that of involved in such legal matters. Thank you all for sticking by the idea and once again, I apologize.

[khugan 24]

Waiting patiently.

[ineptaphid 6413]

Waiting patiently.

What?Did you not read the post above yours?

 

@RobertFMIS-I am sorry to hear you are having troubles-there is no need to apologise to anyone at all.This is just a hobby. 

 

I hope your problems get sorted out and all goes well for you.

[lexx 1363]
