While I am happy you like it, the video was more meant to show how a spring showcase video could differ from the videos done so far. So I did not put that much time into and used what come to mind. For example I only added"skyboxes" because I found the clip it in my recording folder and the airraid clip was reused from
http://www.springinfo.info/air-raid-gam ... deo-added/
Anyway, stuff that be could be shown:
-more clips that show the power of Lua scripting ie "toss the obelisk" from Carrepairer (cant find it on youtube anymore?) where a unit picks up a mapfeature and throws it. Or zwsg's Pacman.
-ressource systems not based on e/m ie THIS, S44 or Gundam
-/water 0 1 2 3 4 modes
-in every scene it could show the games name in a corner or just "techdemo" if its no real game
-Players/Teams: Players sharing controll of a team, coop vs ai, create/break alliances etc
-AI: different languages etc
Lobbys changing:
I do not think that matters. The lobbies can be skinned/colors changed anyway. Springs lobbysystem is quite nice with channels and everything. There will hopefully be a working online lobby, does not matter if it looks like the one in a video. The shots could be in a very general style. Actually I think the "download new games" shot from the video shows off more the different games than the downloader itself.
I think its important to show that multiplayer is actually possible and happening. And a lobby is needed for this.
The video is meant to show off the engines technical features, not our gameplay ideals and satellite projects.
Maybe one must make a difference between "spring engine" and "spring project." In a "spring project" things like lobby, gamedownloader should be mentioned.
Why not show ie Planetwars? It is not active anymore but a good example of spring interacting with different applications and websites. These satellite projects are interessting for developers maybe.
For some features I am unsure if to advertise ie FPS mode and save/load. Both are very techdemo and might disappoint players.
Next version of spring/games will always be shinier if but if seen this way every video is useless. Maybe next week Game X will have really good new models. Maybe not.
