Too much L.A. Noire

[Doublepulse]

Its been awhile since I posted, mainly because I have been too busy to get it done, but I finally uploaded the 1st case in Desk 2:

Investigating the Green

Here is the download

http://dyom.gtagames.nl/?act=show&id=15458.

After playing, if you feel like the case did not make much sense, then that is a good thing. .


Hope you guys enjoy it, and FEEDBACK WOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATED.

Just finished you chapter, Doublepulse. f*cking great, that's the only thing that I can said.

I hate the text bug (when you reach the text limit and the text is overlapped with the next objective's text). But don't worry, it didn't ruin the gameplay. I really love the gameplay ! Especially "A Warehouse Full of Them", when you have to decide whether you help Byron and Jackson or chased the manager. Big amount of Timeout, eh ? (I actually confused when I have to find the manager's office. But the only thing you have to do is, shoot the door and get inside the office)

Keep up the good work !

Im glad you liked the case. Yea I hate that text bug you are talkin about.


As for the timeout.. It was pretty difficult to time the objective. I had to think about how long it would of took the player to complete both choices. Which choice did you make?

Yea the warehouse office is not hard to find, but can be confusing for some. Glad to see no crashes though.

I hope I can get the next case out a lot sooner than this one.

Chasing the manager. Though I lose it when I fight those workers (Pistol vs AK47 & SMG, very un-balanced )

A very nice timing. I came back to the warehouse to check Byron & Jackson and the next objective showed up. How many time you put in that timeout objective ?

I put the time out objective to be like 1:35. Also one recommendation would be to take advantage of the weapons you pick up off of the enemies.

Either choice would of not made much of a difference. There was enough enemies to fight on both of them.

There might be more "choices" in the future, and of course a lot of investigations.

Yeah, I know that. But you have to kill with your pistol first before get those weapons

Good luck with your next chapter. How about LeonCJ ? He's still working on this storyline, right ?

[Doublepulse]

Ofcourse he is. He is just taking a break to work on MHP.

We are figuring the story out together. Making some good crossovers and interesting cases. He just was letting me catch up.

Good example of crossovers will happen in my 3rd case for Desk 2. Wanna keep it a bit of a surprise at the moment, but stay tuned.

Going to head to sleep in a few mins.

[Notna]

Weird that I noticed this topic so late. Have to try the missions, especially when they're made by DYOM pros like you two.

[leoncj]

Bump...
Sorry, had to do it, I'm too lazy to go the page 3 or something, just to check on things. -___-
Anyway, apologies for no cases for so long, I was... working on Matthew Hegan's Path AND been lazy for a while, hehe.
Doublepulse, he's still working on his case and should be done by the end of the week.
Now, expect a case from me as well, I'm taking a break from MHP... (a short one, though)
==EDIT==
Added few info as well, such as... who leads the desks. Exmpl: Desk 3 (Lead by blah blah)

[Doublepulse]

The Desk 2, Case 2: Weapons in the Wrong Hands has been released. .

Hope you guys enjoy and feedback is appreciated!

Quick Question though: How can I improve on the Tailing missions, I thought it went well..but it seems little boring. I would want honest advice in case I make tailing missions in the future.


Anyway I am working on the next one, expect another update post soon.

Report any issues if you have any.

[Arejai]

I'll play this right now

[Jimmy_Leppard]

Alright. I've played the ''Desk'' missions. I gotta say that detective missions are definitely in top 3 of my best mission themes now.

I liked Desk 2 - Case 1 missions the most mostly cause there are 8 of them in it and I love ''longer'' chapters. Some of the case missions were a little bit short, but no matter. Very good job you're doing here, guys.

Anyway, here's the ratings:

Desk 1 - Case 1 missions - 6.5/10

Desk 2 - Case 1 missions - 8.5/10

Desk 2 - Case 2 missions - 7.5/10

Thanks for the feedback Jimmy.

You say you like longer chapters, then the next case will be suit your interest. Im not sure how many missions but it is looking at more like 10-15 main case missions and maybe 2 side missions.

It is difficult to make very long missions with this kind of theme of clue searching, requires a lot of objects, cutscenes, and checkpoints to make the mission. By the time i finished with the mission, there is like already 60 objectives in the mission. I can try different things. I honestly like the first case better myself .


What did you think of the tailing part? How can that improve?



I guess it is time to post how the story works in the series.


General Story- The general story is just the basic story. It is about Deputy cop who works his ways to be a great detective. The title kind of shows he will become a hero. The name Cold Year kind of generalizes that the year is a Cold year..with a lot of killings..and many bad things.

Main Story- The main story is not so obvious in the first cases, but it becomes more clear as the story progress. The main story is hinted through some of the clues and it is a good idea to pay attention to them. If you want to start understanding what might be going on, look for patterns in the cases and some similarities between the suspects. This is the main reason why I am going to start listing some important clues at Desk 3.

I am not gonna spoil the main story, but i have a question for you all, what do you think the main story is about at this moment?

Im glad you like the series though.
