Sorry guys, just a quick one.
What player do I need to run this promo?
Fate of Io Promo

if you click the download, you shouldn't need a player, it will load into your browser. The file size is about 1.8 MB so it may take a few minutes depending on your internet. And a few of the mistakes in the video wouldn't show up normally, but because it is in a browser, it shows that way.

Tell me one thing,
Are we advertising the game or the project?
obviously at the end its the project, but what about the thing as a whole?
Cos it could be either and I want to know what it is before I say stuff about it.

It uses flash, so your browser needs a flash plug-in (right?) And the promo should be for the game itself, not the project. Or I thought that was how it was planned to be at first. Anyone dare to correct me? (Not a threat =))

At this point I think we should be advertising the project, not the game itself. We don't want people coming here in search of a playable game; we want them coming here to work on a project.

Yeah, first we want people to contribute. When we are done, we can advertise. That is if we even want to advertise. All the points you people have are good. Thanks all around.

Right right, that's what I THOUGHT I said (oy I'm stupid). So Morpheus, when's the next one coming?

Good Question Mystik... I think I may do a total redo of it. So before I do that, I need to know a few things. First off:
- Is the song in the background acceptable (Dev's - Death of Io)?
- What stood out that you liked?
- What stood out taht you dis-liked?
- Suggestions...
And any other info. Once I get those ideas, I'll redo it and put those suggestions into it. Thanks.

Maybe you should really focus on "selling" the project itself, not the game. Try to show the things that we're doing right now, show what we need help with, and...stuff. I like the song, but it's just kinda depressing =) Maybe something a little happier? I like the "you" shattering like that (well...not shattering ...but...falling). I dislike the slowness of it ;), but we went over that already. I think it'll probably end up different if you make it while focusing on the project instead of the game, know what I mean? Let's see what you come up with.
But also, I think that we should have an audio of some intro paragraph to the project in there (check out my thread in Project). What do you think?
| 2003/01/08 11:24:34 PST by Morpheus [0/5] |
I think you have a good point with the audio, and the selling of the project and contributing... Not sure how to make it yet, but thoughts will come to all of us. thanks.

Hmm. I don't know about speaking during such a promo; that makes me think "ad" and would also be hard to do well without it sounding a bit cheesy. We could, I suppose, do something more like an infomercial with short sound bites of FoI's higher-ups (::waves::) talking about ... whatever it is they would have to say. Like a sentence or two of me on how I look at the voluntary nature of the project. Something like that.
And Morpheus, I think I've offered before, but I could write or supply you with different music, since I agree with Mystik: the one you're using now feels slow and not very exciting.
My two cents. Yes, I'm still alive. ;D

hehe thanks a lot Dev, if you want to write what you feel would be a nice song for it, I'll make whatever we decide on to go with it. Make it as long as you want... I forget how long Death Of Io is. But same length as that is fine.

couple of points, I'll ad some more later.
It moves to slow, so faster music will help that a lot.
the bit with the "you" falling apart.
If you make the words before come up faster and then put the you by itself underneath, I think that'll look better, if you get wat I mean, so it doens't move up like it does, it doens't look right.
I need to look at it more to come up with some more changes, so look forward to that ;)
and my awesome punctuation ^_-
