And one thing i didn't like it that it didn't showed anything of actual gameplay, huge army's clashing into each other/base building.

but it's a great start :)

Showcases aren't demo reels, they are advertizements. You show off the top of the top, things that are better then real gameplay, eyecandy massive battles and big explotions. It should strictly show features and eyecandy, gameplay is only interesting to people who play the game and hardcore gamers. Most gamers will judge gameplay from word of mouth and reviews anyways, of course a developer/advertizer is going to say that thier game has the best gameplay, it's too subjective to ask a dev/fan how good his game's gameplay is.

The video is quite cool.

But don't use the 3V|L wmv format please.

What was the map? I have a load of older maps on my system, maybe I've got the one the replay uses.

It was ConquerorsIsle - Only version 2 is available in FU, would be a great help Bel

Oh yeah, he is most likely asleep. Honestly I wish I was, it is 4:51am here right now. went to bed at 8 and only slept till 12 :\

Cabbage · Post by **Cabbage** » 13 Jun 2006, 12:14

i didnt sleep the other night, it started getting light at 3:00 in the morning and the birds started tweeting, so i thought bugger it and stayed up

Edit: Video is coming along nicely btw, completed the first two minutes, but i still really need some EE replays!

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 13 Jun 2006, 12:20

*edit* well, I thought I did. I don't have any other demos. check with decimator, he should have some. *end edit*

Cabbage · Post by **Cabbage** » 13 Jun 2006, 12:27

I like this style. Though some shots could be more flashyer. For example, you managed to capture FF without the use of lazers or large fighter armies. (and I didn't saw XTA flashing by).

And this would be the first spring movie without OTA music. (which is not a bad thing)

Cabbage · Post by **Cabbage** » 13 Jun 2006, 14:21

There is still alot more to come, there will be FF lasers later on, along with nukes, air drops, superweapons etc, so dont worry ^^

And for hte full version, i'll release it in something better than WMV

NOiZE · Post by **NOiZE** » 13 Jun 2006, 14:52

nice start

on some shots you use loadscreens, but it has those ugly text on it, while you could also just extract them from the mod archives...

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 13 Jun 2006, 14:54

I like it, only things that bug me a bit is the transparencies when battle scenes are going on.

It makes it a bit hard to distinguish what you are seeing.

Just watched it again, and ya the transparencies really throw it off. Also, when showing stuff on ice's maps I would reccommend keeping the sides of the hills out of them as those bands look really, really, odd.

Also, for the total annihilation spring part of it, I think it would be better to just have it shown as Spring. The game being labeled as Total Annihilation Spring really puts all of us in a box and I don't think that is a good thing personally.

Very nice work!

Cabbage · Post by **Cabbage** » 13 Jun 2006, 15:13

aha, i couldnt finmd the loadscreens anywhere so i just took screen shots, i dont like the text either

Also, where does it say TA SPring? i purposely left out the TA bit

i just watched the video in its rendred form and you're right, the transparant bits look a bit messy, i think i will be okay with rendred at a higher quality though (for the the finished video), i'll test and if it dosen't i'll sort it out anotherway
