Teeworlds on Steam (Page 11 of 14)

First of all, thanks for doing this video guys! Looks pretty solid overall.

Some suggestions from my point of view:

I've to agree with them, would like to see some more dynamic scenes with multiple tees fighting with each other like on the screenshots. Currently it's too much focused on one tee and the others seem to be some sort of background actor /:

Could you disable the HUD in the gameplay scene after the editor? Would be great!
Also the spacing in the 'Opensource' scene, the gap on the right side seems to be smaller than the other two.

For the transitions (with text) a background like the one of the homepage would probably fit better than just a blank white one imho.

The credits look a bit weird, especially thanking the developers/creators of teeworlds in an official trailer. Personally I would rather remove the whole credits, not because I don't appreciate your work, but they somehow doesn't fit.

Looking forward to final result including sound (:

Well, the reason why focus is put on one tee always is obviously that all demos were recorded from the view of the playing tee and not a spectator in freeview. To solve this problem demos from spectators (freeview of course) are required but i guess they are pretty rare or nonexistent at all.
Another possible solution that came up to my mind is to enable freeview also in demos that originally were recorded from playing tees and kind of fake the freeview effect of spectators. Sounds fine so far but there is still one problem left: demos from clients are clipped to a rather small window of sight in which other tees, pickups, etc. are visible (tees that are far away are not recorded at all).

so @Oblique. if you think you want to try the fake freeview thing tell me your OS and I will code and compile it for you.

@BeaR: keep in mind the screenshots were photoshopped

Maybe demo recorded on server side would fit. You can render all the map with this, but you need server demo, and this is extremely rare than spectator demo ^^' (i have some but not really interesting)

So is this the final version of the video of the trailer, and I can get to working on the sound? If not, please tell me, becasue I don't want to waste time on a red herring ;|

Whenever you decide something is fine

Of course applying the sound should be much easier than last time because most of the sound was near the intro, then the song happened, then some "Byoop" noise near the end, so I could just make sound for this and do it again for any changes, but I like not doing (things that might be) pointless(ly)

Just to throw in an idea regarding the sound and video effects of the trailer ...
I've quickly made up a song how I personally think (not officially speaking) teeworlds should sound. Some jungle drums at the beginning plus some atmospheric jungle sounds, then the ninja scream and finally some fast paced sound. The lyrics are supposed to underline the main reason for playing teeworlds: run, fight, kill, capture

edit:updated video

This is AWESOME, Landil. I really like the main music theme and I think it fits well with Teeworlds. Techno music isn't very relevant to Teeworlds, but your sound track seems very apt for this. I like the jungle sounds part at the beginning too. I'm not sure about the “Run, Fight, Kill, and Capture” lyrics, though.
Anyways, this is great!

@oblique: I wouldn't define it techno, maybe retro-ish (= teeish)

It fits very well in my opinion, great job Landil

Huh?

"retro-ish" describes nothing in this case, (retro=old style)what do you mean?

That music was WAY too hyper (and extremely annoying D;) if you ask me, I'll definitely use his version of the beginning though.
Hurts my stomache to hear the song at present form.

Also how does techno not fit? Vanilla teeworlds is all about the rhythm, and that song was the only thing that wasn't copyrighted (so far) that spoke of that correctly.

That music would fit pretty well if it was slowed down. And the lyrics just don't sound good with the happy-tee music. I'm bad at looping things, but if you DO make changes to that, I'll try to loop it and get it into a position where it can be used for the whole trailer. I still think the current fits better

EDIT: Thought about it, and looked it over some more, the music he suggested would be better than the current music if we just left the lyrics out and made the song a tiny bit less hyperactive. Teeworlds is more about tactics than plain aim-shoot crazyness.

Hmmm. I personally like the way Landil's song is fast-paced and hyperactive. It's adorable. Techno music does not seem to go well with cute little fuzzballs blasting the shit out of each other on a side-scroller, arcade style game. I suppose that's what Zargon and I mean by "retro-ish". I think the lyrics should probably be removed, though.

Thats nice, the music sounded great without them.

Written text. Oblique could just show one of those lyrics on screen for a few seconds, then take it down, then put a different up, in certain intervals. Then the lyrics wouldn't be so annoying, because they wouldn't be there, but the message would still get through.

"Run, Fight, kill, capture"
But I removed it and I am working on a chiptune-rock song without lyrics. So please chillax
