Well, I'm glad to read that there's interest in dramatic missions
. I like to make missions where the atmosphere is equal to the fighting. Of course I understand the value of action as well.
I read a bunch of complaints about in-mission cutscenes, and disdain for story, so I decided not to put my missions out there, but kept them for myself and a good friend.
Now I'm thinking there might be a reason to toss 'em out there.
I'm not a great mission designer by any stretch, but I'll get to cleaning up my missions to see if any of the 'drama-players' have fun with them.
It is tough when you have a vision, but no scripting experience, or mission making experience (but that's where all the fun lies, isn't it?). My last cutscene (the major one) nearly killed me. But I think I'm ready to go at it again.
I think I'll head on over to the ideas section and illicit some help from you able scripters to clean up and finish my 5 mission coop story. It's about friendship, over coming loss, and consequences of actions taken.
Thanks for the inspiration people!
