No Dom3 on Youtube?

[Gandalf Parker]

Im also considering some other YouTubes.

Taking screen shots of a god-build and the first few turns. Then turning it into a video with commentary. Kindof a short video tutorial to give people an idea of how many options the game has.

Taking screen shots of the scoreboard as a large game progresses, then put them together into an animated progression.

Taking screen shots of the scores.html screens and doing the same.

Putting screen shots with an AAR.

(this is the only hard one) Working on a "Watchers" nation mod so that one nation can stay in an extremely large long running game on automatic and take occassional screen shots of the map with god view on. Same animation, maybe with commentary. The game can run all AI with automatic continual hostings to get a mega game on a max map thru a few hundred turns. Not sure if I can automate the screen shots.

Anyone can grab and run with any of those ideas if you want to contribute to the game. A very basic video editing program usually comes with your computers operating system.

Sounds like you don't know the "Let's Play!" AAR of matryx, because that's exactly what he did. Got over two dozen people (those that we know of) inspired to buy the game after reading through that one.

Yes that one is fantastic. Llamabeast added it to Shrapnels "Call for AARs" post a year or two back. Gee, but I dont remember it having a video. I will have to go see if he has updated it.

I remember that it reminded me alot of my "Starter Gods" examples for Dom2 which I tried to get some interest generated in Dom3 since there were so many new nations that I couldnt quite get the motivation to do it.

Usually Im the one sounding like an old geezer of the net, but I do have to admit that some people will read an AAR like its a good book. And others, more and more lately, seem to only want it in a video format as if its a TV show. Especially if it comes with animation and commentary. Thats why Im thrilled to give my enthusiastic push to a YouTube project (or something better). I would love to see Matryx do a video of "Let's Play". Maybe I will pitch him the way to do it as a published book and/or a CD which he can sell at an online site and it wont cost him anything to do it.
