Title: A Bit of Free Advertising
Post by: Specialist290 on March 30, 2010, 05:57:56 am
Starting fairly recently (a few weeks ago), I've been doing a Let's Play of the v2.3 build on YouTube (the link to the first video can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhUL99jnTWQ)).  The video has a link to the main site in the infobox.  I'm hoping that it'll draw some more attention to the project for you guys, particularly from people willing to contribute their own resources.

I'm not an expert coder, musician, or artist, but I want you guys to know that I'm doing my part in my own special way.  Plus I'd appreciate it if y'all could pop over and give it a look ;)  (I'm open to critiques and suggestions for strategy / tactics.)

One thing I noticed immediatly: please raise your brightness and/or gamma a bit. Right now it's a little difficult to make anything out when its night time on geoscape.

E: Is this the video software problem you mentioned in 3b?

Yeah, the first few videos are all a bit wonky, and there's really nothing I can do for them now.  I did eventually go back and raise my screen brightness; I found that adjusting the game's gamma was all but useless, since the program (CamStudio) was somehow only picking up my system's default settings.

Audio was a similar problem:  I thought I didn't have it loud enough for one vid, but I got a lot of complaints so I turned it back down.
