Melody_Mike   130 Posted October 25, 2021 I will wager a lot of money that In about 12 years time, there will be a Netflix drama about people living through COVID. Maybe even an action disaster film starring a new retired WWE Wrestler. It was the same with 9/11 in American films and the Cold War in Germany. But not today. I don't want to be reminded of daily problems in my entertainment. Sorry if it feels like a lazy excuse. Your choice of setting has nothing to do with the quality of your mission making. And we all have different ways of working through difficult experiences. But that is the reason I won't download your mission. It looks like a lot of work went into it. So I'm looking forward to future projects. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beno_83au   1369 Posted October 26, 2021 To be honest, I had some trouble playing this. I like the setting, and the atmosphere is pretty well done, but a few things have stopped me getting very far into it (spoilers where needed).  - The music. When the music is up >50% it drowns out much of the ambient noise for me. I have a lot of hearing loss and tinnitus so maybe it's just me though. Even though the music/spook is done well, it takes away from the rest of the game noises. So it'd be nice to be able to turn it down instead of having a set volume forced, otherwise game sounds just blend in to mush for me 😞  - Kind of the same thing with the typing noise at the start. It was not friendly to my ears. Plus, I died twice early (points below) so sitting through the slow text before being able to play was a detraction.  - The mission is VERY dark, which is atmospheric for sure, but I just found myself watching my progress on the map as the headlamps weren't lighting up much outdoors, even on high power, and without any visual references I just ended up in the wrong place a lot.  Spoiler - So yeah, I died twice. First time was a zed walking through a closed door, so that's not your fault obviously, but I really wished I could skip the intro text. Maybe some kind of diary entry UI like the task system would be nice instead?  - Second death was frustrating though. I turned the power on in the base, got the key -> respirator and was given the task of leaving the base and going to the radio tower. There was no marker for this on my map, and the closest radio tower was out to the west about a kilometer or so away. So off I went. Got a message about leaving an area and being isolated but there was nothing else for it, so I kept going and was killed off. This was as far as I played, so not very far into it unfortunately.  - The markers on the base at the start seemed to indicate buildings worth checking - barracks/admin build, but they were either locked or there was nothing there. Felt like a waste of time to investigate them.  On the other hand though, the task system is nice. Having it in an actual "diary" or notebook/journal looked good, and the tasks themselves were clear enough without being blatantly obvious. Using headlamps was a cool idea (even if too dark), I hadn't seen that mod before. I like the idea of the mission, so I hope I can get further into it next time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried reselecting it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
