Latest Change pics...Trailer video news!



In these pics, I am making an adjustment to the game's 'splat' effect.   Near the bottom left of each pic, I am trying to determine exactly what shade of each color works with the different backgrounds in the game.   On the bottom right, I have made adjustments to the original colors and added an effect to make the sprites look a bit more box-like.   These small square colors in each pic are the same, only the background is different.   Now that I have made this change, I have to re-do the trailer video progress so far...this time using newer gameplay footage.   Starting that today!

News about a different project....

While working on Laser Splat, I occasionally needed a break to stop and re-evaluate what needed to be done on the game, what was best for a particular aspect of the game, and/or what should be the priority work for us to do on the game.   During one of these times away from Laser Splat I had an idea for another video game related project.   I have worked on that project from time-to-time over the course of the last year.   The news is that it is beginning to look like I might actually complete that project!!!     Having said that, I hope to have an announcement here about that project soon!   I hope it is something that you all will like!

Behind The Scenes - Creating a Shorter Trailer Video

Image
Wow, editing the 'extended version' of the Laser Splat game trailer video down to a shorter video took WAY longer than I thought it would.  It was also WAY harder than I thought.  I ran into many difficulties...including me accidentally deleting one of the gameplay footage videos....the one that was actually the hardest to create....ouch!   I had to start over on that footage from the beginning.  

The original trailer video (which i call the 'extended edition' because it is about 2 minutes) long took me 38 versions to get to the final versions.   That means thought I had the video looking pretty good in the editor, produced it as an .avi, and did a final edit on that to trim the end point....then, after viewing the final edit of it over and over, I saw some things that weren't right or that could be improved.....and went back to editing.   On the 'extended version' I did that 38 times.     

This 'simple edit' of that video took me 31 tries.   Ugh. …
