Teeworlds on Steam (Page 5 of 14)

It looks good but not teeish enough indeed, in my opinion.

steam version should focus on presenting teeworlds well, thats why i deem the mod discussion useless. even if i myself almost only play mods. a discussion wether some mods may become official can take place, but not here.
considering the presenting of teeworlds, i think the videos quite well, except for featuring both to much grenade kills, and especially short sketches of few seconds just to show that one cool kill. some solid and continous gameplay, including teamwork, should be also visible, if you do not want to declare your game as short solo play during breaks (which it is good for nonetheless) entirely. also the music in both cases entirely made me stop looking at the video and thinking how anyone could have picked something worse.

tutorial is highly needed. pictures not enough, videos at least, some hardcoded ingame one even better.

also, achievements would be very cool. id strongly suggest not to take the steam specific ones, but make ingames one that are then easily linked to the steam ones. you probably underestimate how much such simple work can contribute to motivation of people.
ill ot get specific here, some basic one should be well enough for the start (kills, wins, flag captures) and anything else can be discussed elsewhere.

while you do nt need to consider right now, you should keep in mind another distribution platform, gog with their upcoming launcher called galaxy. i deem it a way fewer, but much more fitting platform and audience. if its out and polished enough, right now just wait.

Now I think this is the current topic.. Vanilla doesn't seem to be popular with newbies. Too many flying round things with large bullets flying out of them for odd reasons that keep killing them too fast and they keep twirling their gun around. However, if they knew what was going on, then they can do the same thing, and play vanilla without having to deal with not being able to play due to being dead most of the time. That's how I see it, as that's how I've experienced it.

What. That isn't the reason vanilla teeworlds is doing great, (It is true, even I got my teeworlds start in a LAN server setup by my brother, but we don't play vanilla on LAN anymore.) it's all of the competitive clans.

You know, AEON, xron, Ares, dgt., EVIL, Touhou, Allianz, etc.

But your point still stands

Sounds awesome, I am sorry for you!

One intro I have thought of would be the Teeworlds logo in front of blurred gameplay. But the gameplay would show a whole map at first (you could use a client with zooming-ability), would slowly zoom into the action going on down there and end in a close-up of a cool kill, fading into darkness. Then more gameplay could be shown. Of course, this should fit with appropriate music. But I don't know if such an intro is even possible to make (how far are Tees rendered?).

However I like your idea way more, it would make for a real cool intro! Was it made of gameplay, or did you animate the intro yourself?
I think Teeworlds is perfectly suitable for real animated (3D-)trailers (I could imagine the splash tee on the front page in an animated trailer), but it would be too hard to make, I guess.

Loving TW since 2010

Maybe some Drum 'n' Bass?

I can search around.

We did this, GJ

The end is near... RUUUN!!!!

Congratulations! The light is on!

Wow, good job on getting greenlit so fast! :)

I realize that certain officials here seem to be kind of ignorant. However, I'll just post it again, what the hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pyUoUuYNbE  This video should be added at least as the second trailer to steam. I mean, common people? What is wrong with you? You have to show ingame-material of the mods, too. Also, this trailer technically is much better than the other 2. And last but not least: IT ACTUALLY SHOWS COHERENT GAMEPLAY. The other trailers are cutted like crazy...

Music:

Probably I'm alone again but even though I find whatever music acceptable that attracts new players I'd like to make a few untypical suggestions. Nowadays you often get dubstep, drum and bass etc. in trailers and stuff.

How about something different?

Beach Boys - I Get Around    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnPL5OXSBNE

Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun ( Yes, i basically chose that cuz' of that line but still^^ maybe one could work some parts of the song into a trailer.)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTU2Y0VFH0E

Cypress Hill - Rise Up  I'd consider it a great vibe for a trailer.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iatjMEp3bxw (only US-ip i think) + live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O42hwPtUO2Y

The other trailers also have a bunch of different players in them. I didn't count but that argument seems rather strange.

Also, I already wrote this in another post: "If you don't include a description in your trailer that shows how to search for vanilla servers specifically, you can just as well make a trailer with the most spectacular scenes out of different mods (including vanilla) and simply don't give the names of the mods.
That way you have the same result: People who decided to try out teeworlds will randomely visit servers and coincidentally play different gametypes, may it be ddrace, instagib, vanilla or something else..."

Concerning the music:

Of course you can't "just use copyrighted music in an offical trailer".

1. It was generally meant as a suggestion to think in other ways musicwise. I have no intention of specifically promoting "my" songs here for the trailer.

2. I really have no idea how expensive it would be to put such music in a trailer for this relatively small game. However, if you completely rule out copyrighted music, you could have a hard time finding something really good.
(Of course, small artists that are independent and have a say about that sort of stuff may give you their o.k. for free with the hope of being advertised for free.) ...
Btw: Is it even copyright that matters here? Isn't it rather right of use? I'm no expert but I thought that copyrights are always with the artists whereas the right of use can be in the hands of a music label for example.

Hey guys,

So I tried out Landil's idea, and hopefully it works out okay. Kirby sent me a ton of awesome demos (I just started looking through them tonight) which helped a lot. Like I said, any old demos you have, SEND 'EM TO ME. Also, Kirby volunteered to do all the soundtrack editing and stuff, so tell him "Thanks, you're the best Kirby!".

Once again, tell me if you want anything fixed.

By the way, do we still need a trailer if Teeworlds is already greenlit? Just wondering.
