Jeru Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 As you know, 0 A.D. has been a collaborative effort, and all the code, art and sound has been offered by volunteers from all over the world. In the spirit of open-source development, we at Wildfire Games would like to ask our fans' help in the marketing and PR of the game, by kindly providing us clips of your in-game video recordings.We would like to create a stock of in-game video clips, because over time, we plan to create: Videos that document the development as new releases come out, perhaps explaining how certain parts of the game mechanics work (definitely short-term goal). an ad targeted to OS developers to join the project (short-term goal).And as longer-term goals: An introductory cinematic for 0 A.D., A general promotional trailer about the basic features of the game.For that purpose, we have the following guidelines set in place to keep this process organized: Please provide these recordings as links to downloadable or streaming video files, along with a description, in this thread: Post Your Uploaded Videos Here. Please take all gameplay videos from the player's regular POV. No extreme close-ups, please. We will gladly provide credit to those people whose videos we end up using in our marketing effort. Just let us know who to credit. The better the video quality, the more likely we are to use it!We are especially looking for the following types of videos: 0 A.D. gameplay: Both the economic side (gathering resources, building up a city) and the military side (from skirmishes to large battles). 0 A.D. scenery: A variety of biomes, including each one's characteristic fauna. Special attention to fancy water reflections. Also, some shots of city-scapes featuring the best-looking building sets. Videos showcasing the development process of 0 A.D.: The Atlas map editor, editing actors, entities and XML files, and the 0 A.D. codebase within the development environments you use. Wireframes of 0 A.D. models, demonstrations of the animation process. In-game visualizations, such as the pathfinding overlay. 0 A.D. is cross-platform: Shots of 0 A.D. being launched from Windows, Linux and Mac OS.Thanks in advance!Edit (May 9, 2011): Streaming videos, such as on YouTube, are fine. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMST Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Do you accept videos with ugly Fraps watermark? That would be all I could do in that area.^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feneur Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Aviv, I think you had a link to a list somewhere with tools for indie game developers to promote their game or something, I believe it had some free (in both meanings of that word) alternatives to Fraps etc. It could be a good idea if you posted that link in this thread. Or, why don't I, should be quick, ah, here it is: Tutorial: Recording and Editing Game Trailers or, taking a look at that page, here's the actual list: http://www.pixelprospector.com/2010/08/how-to-record-and-edit-gameplay-videos/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I can recommend CamStudio which is the first screenrecorder on that list and free/opensource. Fraps is also very good but it's a bit of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
