Descent Trajectory 1.03

Description
A singleplayer, semi-randomized open scenario for Tanoa. You're an alien nanite swarm-based entity survivor, for now in roughly humanoidal shape, that crashed on the deadly planet - water everywhere, very toxic. Your mission was to recon for the Swarm, if your race should invade and consume the planet, or leave it be. But now the first issue is to survive long enough to hunt down The Hunter, rogue sub-entity of The Scout, that caused the crash. The Hunter will try to neutralize The Scout as well. Next task is to clean up all debris from the crashed starship, if doable, to leave no trace of your tech while avoiding detection as long, as possible. Lastly - transmit any recon data and evacuation request to finish the mission.

Low fps was because my settings Windowed Full Screen. I had to change it to Full screen, native resolution.

Hi. Sorry to hear, but seems, you overlooked quite a few important things (which is easy, since this scenario IS not typical and not combat-focused). Also not sure, why you spent so much time using probe's camera mode? If you some day would approach this mission again, try just put probe into follow mode and order it to scan stuff then follow GUI indicator to find crash sites. nanites will be gathered during scanning, also some techs may be unlocked this way.

That being said, It's perfectly understandable, this is weird and experimental mission requiring patience and attentive reading instructions, that will dissapoint those, who seek typical Arma gameplay.

Can't help with your performance troubles though, it is fine for me. Except for Picture-in-Picture cam feed FPS, which AFAIK are hardcoded to be low, which makes feed smoothness far from satisfactory indeed.

I read the description and seen Greenfist's artwork. Looks like interesting scenario and looks like big amount of dev work was put in to this... but there is no gameplay at all.

I spent like 4-6h, mostly watching live feed from probe witch is like 3fps. I was trying to lower my video settings, but this give me no probe view at all. Nothing going on, I encounter 2 groups of AK guys, fps drop from 60 to 20. After that I was trying to move to other end of the island and my fps dropped even lower to 13! No life, no action, no crash sides or nanites.

I found once this white hunter and kill it in one shot. ONE! Then I spend time reading all those briefings and instructions, I can jump - cool but why I should. There is no need for that at all.

This is some technical demo, new mechanics, hexagonal map, high jumps, etc - all very cool and some other interesting things for moders, but not a real scenario for having some fun and healthy gameplay.
Disappointed (as player).

@Rydygier Nice work!
@Flay I've decided to download and try thanks to your review and may the rambo guy grace my session as well! ;)

I must say, I was very intrigued by your work. Interesting touch on a game like Arma. On the first play I was confused and lost and gave up after death. Next day decided to give it another shot, read all the notes & info provided and set out for another attempt. Totally changed my experience into an enjoyable one and was able to complete the mission. Well done making this!

p.s: triggering the berserk surge when multiple armed militiamen & helos are roaming around was hella fun. especially when some rambo fella decided to shoot its rpg into his fellow helo ^^

1.03 update:

- New init setting: Avatar appearance. Player can choose one of few ways, how The Scout (and The Hunter, which mimics same look) will look like. "NAKED VR" stands for old way, which may be also achieved via removing uniform in play for any other appearance;

- Added some audiovisual effects for "processing bodies" action;

- Also the main HUD font should now keep its size regardless of set resolution and interface size;

- Updated outro credits.
