Servo Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I hope I can improve like @sphyrth someday and record videos. I’m trying some Dawn of Man and quite poor on everything including pronunciation and grasp of vocabulary I think @nani can do some videos too! He did one before and it was nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servo Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) You had mod something I think. One day I hope when I become proficient and for the love of the game I can also make my own 0ad YouTube video. Like this one, on DoM. Bear with me and tbh I’m not snorting something. A Filipino voice hahah. Edited August 27, 2019 by Servo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) But seriously I have so many 0ad interesting saved games that I want to post in YouTube but idk how. I’m using OBS. But I will try to find out. Somehow these saved games don’t lag when you replay it. Also I hope there are mechanics from DoM gameplay that might interest the devs. Edited August 27, 2019 by Servo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Oh I thin I can do it by running a saved game, at the same time use OBS and start narrating. I will try it. Tbh I had difficulty watching the pro games thru json. Edited August 27, 2019 by Servo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 @Servo Here are some comparisons: You should compare your current narration video with my first one. I had no editors that time, and it took me several takes to get it the way I wanted it. And I still ended up being to shy to speak. What I use is simplescreenrecorder to record the video, and my phone for recording the audio. Make Audacity get rid of some noise. And finally use OpenShot to sync them together. It's a hassle, really. In the recording department, I don't have the patience setting up OBS. The fact that you have it means you have already the superior setup. Here are my tips based on experience: Keep recording, and keep talking. Experience is important. This is the best way I got that "shyness" away. Also, it helped set my mentality from "You're talking to a computer" to "You're talking to people on the internet." Watch your own videos, observe where you think you're lacking in and improve on it. This one's difficult on my part as I didn't like hearing my own voice. If I didn't want to watch my own video, who would? But at least you have yourself as your greatest critic. Have a Model Youtuber and Watch His/Her early Videos. I like resonance22channel's style. I wanted to be like him. But watching his newest videos wouldn't help me a lot. His first videos are still way better than mine, but I did see how far he's gotten because of them. The same case can be made for ZeroEmpires. Comments Section This one I can't help you much. But I hope you get some form of encouragement / critiques in the comments section. I don't know if it's true to the other Youtubers, but getting feedback from people is encouraging for me. So I hope you'll get some too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I think the key is don’t be shy and just keep talking as you said and gain more confidence. I found 1 0ad saved game which I already posted in the game replays and I will use it. When I replayed it back it feels so good listening to the music while watching. I think lots of 0ad players especially the pros can be of big help by doing YouTube of their very interesting game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0B69nilZfs I forgot how these videos get automatically embedded. Here's what I liked about his observations: - Realistic (graphics-wise of course) - Historically Accurate - Attention to Detail - He likes Citizen Soldiers!

Servo Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Even without proficiency on making video, I will keep practicing to share my pc games. This one despite some erroneous narrations I just went through posting it. Bear with newbiness on video making This was my last multiplayer game in 0ad. And I already posted this replay before. Just some sort of advertising the game. I think my friend bbgotbanned played really bad on this game and keep on teasing his best friend Pudim. Instead of booming he could have doubled with landlord to neutralize chrtgr and game over. Making another CC to border push might not be a good idea on this case.

Servo Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Oh thanks for liking, and I was thinking of getting back some touch of 0ad. I forgot lots of it already when I tried to play it today and kind of becoming a rookie again. Probably I will do some videos when A24 comes out. This is the only way to contribute to this beautiful game. Btw I will ask permission from the modders if I can do video of them. DE, 0abc, mil AD and the rest. As I try to regain my touch I will concentrate on the single player first then probably the multiplayer later if I become competitive. I’m not sure if I still have some old replays that I can make videos. I knew I had a DE game which I built a very decent settlement. And a 0abc too. I’m not after monetary reasons to do this. Just for the love of gaming. I have sufficient time to do this but my gaming is divided between 0ad and DoM. Common players, there are more capable video makers here in the community. No need of those paid advertisers! In fact I’m really bad on pc thing but my setup now is just enough to at least do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 If you want my comment about your video: If that's a "Rookie Commentary", then I have a long way to go. You don't have asmr problems like me. I'm struck about the phrase: "When A24 Comes Out". You made it sound like it'll come soon - something that I wasn't expecting. Is it really close to a feature freeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Np @sphyrth. Any comments are welcome. It will improve me. I’m quite disoriented with 0ad but I was just amazed with the quality of 0ad graphics and the music, and tbh a lot of features that’s why I just can’t leave 0ad easily and totally. Im not concentrating yet on very nice looking video but rather on helping to expose this game. In fact I posted it in DoM community forum. If I did not become a good 0ad player, I think I’m leading on the DoM as I’m the only one who can get past the most difficult modded DoM. Ofc because I am the highest number of hours played at more than 1.4k hours. You know I’m a crazy gamer. Though as in 0ad, DoM modders are also depending on what the devs have to offer. So I’m helping a couple of modders test their games before they finalize and make it public. If 0ad needs some testers on Mac, I’m just around the corner but I can’t go back to svn right now. @Angen I won’t forget your mod too. Ofc borg’s one also as it gives some more flavor to the vanilla.

nani Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Interesting details of the gameplay. Every day looks more professional ! Detailed fanatic rush walkthrough though I doubt it would work in matches with rating >1500 :/ Edited September 1, 2019 by nani 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphyrth Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'm surprised that you guys are giving Town Phase Rushes some credit. I thought they're heavily impractical for real games because of the Early Cav Rushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feldfeld Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I just did an example game in multiplayer : 2019-09-01_0003.zip Of course, it doesn't mean it's easy to pull it off, nor that it is worth it trying it but i just say it's possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for both the video and the complementary replay, they might both help in promoting more diversity in the gameplay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Does 0ad have a soundtrack compilation? I think if it has it should be posted in YouTube like this Dawn of Man soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Also a bit shabby video but I like to share this epic 4v4 game. It lasted 1-1/2 hours but uploaded for so many hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphyrth Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 So many lol moments. I laughed the hardest when he started using cheats. I didn't even know the game had those! I guess I got used to having Developer Mode that I didn't even bother checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
