Screenshots and Video

So of course i have gotten around to grabbing a buncha screenshots with multiplayers playing. It was actually rather a lot of fun. I got to brin my wife and kids into the game and play several levels. It was quite fun, and i had a monologue going telling each one to avoid the bullets that were chasing them. with my kids laughing and pushing each other around, or racing to be first to a powerup. A lot of fun.

I grabbed 145 screenshots which i have reduced down to a measly 11 now and added them to the games press pack.

While i was doing this i recorded a bunch of gameplay footage with various numbers of us playing. Now i need to go through them and cut pieces that might resonate quickly with the Xbox owners out there that look at such things. I think this is a tough thing to do, as my favourite bits are not nescessarily the bits that would resonate the best with people seeing my game for the first time. For me, knowing it so well etc, it makes it real hard.

Anyway, back to the video editing, in fact i might wait on that and write up what i want in the video. That way i can maybe save on some superfluous video editing time.

Gnight.

Whats Next?

Well now A Shooters main issues have all been addressed (yeah i finished hooking up the encrypted save, though it seems a little slow. I am sure i can speed it up by a factor of 100 if i tried....)

Next up is to work on the video and grab some good screenshots and erm, work on the prose that will entice people to download it.

Doesn't sound like much i know, but this will take me a bundle of time. I also need to get the game back into playtest, hopefully for a final time.

So, i am gonna start recording some playing now.

[Edit]
Whoa i just found this most excellent feature in Fraps. I own my copy and have used it to record my gameplay a number of times. I think it is an excellent program and really cheap. But, OMGoodness, it also records screen shots for ya. You can set it to record every so many seconds after pressing the activate key. And here i was expecting to have t use my sons finger to press the print screen key and me pause each time to place it into an art package. WooT
