Choice Of Destiny

SZM Team are a small team that create mods for stalker from 2010 and trying to make stalker live and better. Our team made a long path and learn a lot. In 2011-2012 we had developed "Return to the Shadows" project. At 2012 we published SZM CoP 0.2, for a long time we worked on the next version SZM CoP 0.3. Unfortunately, all projects were frozen in 2015.

Now we are working on the project «Choice of Destiny», our main goal is to finish all that we’ve started within projects RTTS, SZM CoP and to «make stalker great again». As far as possible in our powers.

SZM Team небольшая команда, которая создает модификации для сталкера с 2010 года и пытается поддерживать вселенную сталкер и делать ее лучше. Наша команда проделала долгий путь и научилась многому. В 2011-2012 у нас в разработке был проект «Return to the Shadows». В 2012 году мы выпустили SZM CoP 0.2, долгое время мы работали над проектом SZM CoP 0.3. Но все проекты были заморожены в 2015 году.

Сейчас мы работаем над проектом «Choice of Destiny», самая важная наша миссия это завершить все что мы начали с проектами RTTS, SZM CoP и «сделать сталкер снова великим». Настолько насколько это в наших силах.

Choice of Destiny dev. news #1

3 мая 2023 г. - 1_A | Комментариев: 0

So, Choice of Destiny was Released Feb 16, 2022 that was unplanned release. Try to remind that was closed beta testing of the mod in 2018 year. I think that 2018-2019 was a good year to release but it did not happen. And now 2022 year already passed.

What do we have now? We have a huge level named Hallway with spawn but without a storyline and a lot of quests. Still, no stashes also, there are a couple of some but not many. There are configured mutants spawn they live and go where they want. It's A-Life.

Unfortunately, I'm must to say that dev. this year does not bring anything good to the project. Basically, nobody works hard on the project in 2022-2023. It was a hard year (2022), you know I'm from Ukraine, Kyiv, and some people from the team too from Ukraine, some from Russia, and now it's war. Ukraine vs Russia. There was the shelling of Kyiv. Also was a war in 2022 for Kyiv. In 2022-2023 we were just sitting without electricity. So there was no opportunity to work on the project.

What else do we have? We have in dev. two new levels, one named Barway and other is underground lab.

Also, we have a storyline and some ideas for quests. It's not realized and it's hard to realize the storyline you know. No idea how much time need to do this work with the storyline. I think before we finish will be the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Heart of Chornobyl. And you know we all waiting for STALKER 2. It must be a very good game from GSC Game World.

If all will be fine (nobody knows) dev. would be restarted and we will work on the project Choice of Destiny. But Russia shells Ukraine every day and blackouts could start again.

Don't forget to download Choice of Destiny 0.25 if you didn't play yet.

SZM-Team saying Thanks for all previous downloads which were.
It's very important to us that people download and are interested in the project.
Choice of Destiny is free and we are making the game for free!

Choice of Destiny 7116 Tree pack

16 марта 2022 г. - 1_A | Комментариев: 0

Now Choice of Destiny contains a tree pack which added to the level "Hallway". The level "Hallway" with tree pack compiled with low quality - draft, don't worry you can play in this.
On the level AI-map so like in previous builds NPC and mutants on level Hallway.
You can walk around and look at level, houses, buildings. There are no still normal stashes.
There are still places to hide from blowouts.
There are still not a lot of quests and Freeplay mode currently.
On the level, three places of traders and they have mostly "nothing" to trade.

If you ask the question which tree we added so here is list:
- OAK (mostly trees are Oak trees);
- Alder ;
- Cherry ;
- Pine ;
- Spruce ;
- Willow ;
- Burn Pine ;
- There was already "Topol";
- "Rostki" and bushes;

At location not lots of bushes like in most places.
Yes, they cut from all and use in some places.
In fact in the forest, not always many bushes.
So mostly it's Oak and Alder forest with pines and spruces.
There is no birch which was in previous builds and you've might be seen in screenshots.
Was decided to place Pine and Spruces and not birch.
Anyway, there is no big place to birch like in builds 2018*.
And sure there will be edits in the future.

Also, we have our own pack of trees but a better and good pack of Absolute Nature.
So we use it to place forest in our project - Thanks CrommCruac!

Be aware that in tree pack build will be lower FPS in-game.
Some of the trees you can see with black quad, it's because of low-quality draft.

Small fixes:
- Added global map (Hallway map incorrect currently);
- Added helicopter sound;
- Added TV to some places;
- Added sleep places;
- Deleted some squads because it's crashed (maybe logic with new AI map);
- All bandits on the level now enemy (You can try to observe them);
- Fixed that mutants don't attack the main actor.
Now all mutants attack Actor, also bloodsuckers are fixed too.
There are places where lots of bloodsuckers (be careful), they attack actor now;

SZM-Team saying Thanks for all previous downloads which were.
It's very important to us that people download and are interested in the project.
