http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v-0at_Dafk

Share your thoughts! We can start a campaign with it, if you have no objections with the video or campaigning.

Sorry, ill upload the flac files too as well soon, been a bit busy and now i rather spent time on the video...hope you will like it

Great.

These public relations are exactly what we need currently.

If you also want to write blog posts about your work here, we can give you an account on our CMS and we have a blog coordination thread where you can suggest topics for the next blog posts.

[timong]

Posted the finalized, agreed upon version to the Coordination thread.

[svenskmand]

The video looks very good I only have few comments related to the text, here are my corrections/recommendations:

A game to satisfy you desire
for bashing those trespassing
fools who dare oppose you!

It's time to show them
They better...

... STAY OUR OF YOUR
DUNGEON ...

Command your dungeon to
hoard your wealth and
power to overcome the
other factions of the Under
and Overground.
RULE ... THEM ... ALL!

This Game Project needs YOU!
It's a Free and Open Source
Game for everyone... and it's
in need of any industrious goblin
hand that want to aid it to become
the best RTS game ever made!

We are looking for artists,
coders, and testers. You can
already download alpha versions
on our website.
Come join the eternal battle between
6 powerful factions.

What are the planned features?
* Build dungeons with sinister traps
* Train creatures to do your bidding
* Explorer the depths of the underground
and the heights of the overground
* Annihilate you enemies or let them
kill each other and wipe out their
sad remnants
* Upgrade your abilities with the
skill tree
* Take the challenges to new heights
in multiplayer
* You will never loose too much thanks
to the ranking system

Edit: I just saw the other video and updated this post accordingly.

Check the linked thread for the trailer's latest version's youtube link. We have discussed and corrected the texts of the previous version with oln on irc, so i have uploaded the corrected version to the official OpenDungeons channel (oln provided me with the possibility). Could you check it please and share your thoughts about that version? Its not the fastest process to recreate the stuff,but if you think its necessary i will look for some more freetime.

[timong]

I will try to find the time soon to edit, re-render and re-upload the stuff, tho I find "to become
the best RTS game ever made!" a bit too cheesy for my taste, if you can come up with something better till I find the time, that would be awesome... but it's okay if you think it's good, i'll replace the text with that.

I am going to say that I agree with this, it is a bit too cheesy.

"to bring our Evil plan to its fruition."

IMHO, being a little bit evil in this stuff is not bad, rather the opposite, it gives the "atmosphere" Dungeon Keeper had. So you have to be ballsy in the marketing, like they do the "pros" in evil themed games (like DK or Overlord). Of course with the appropriate humor..

The flac files are in the subversion repository now, under mediaSource/Music.

Ok, imho the new version will do fine. I'll redo the video and reupload it soon, maybe today.

Also I'll provide you with the FLACs for the in-game background music (in a seperate thread) you can use while the game is in alpha or later as well.

oln already SVN-committed the FLAC for the main them, as a one piece flac, and in three pieces as well (start / loop / end), as svenskmand suggested.

I hope to check them all when you guys will have the programming magic done and integrate them into the game!

[svenskmand]

Nice

[timong]

Ok, took me some more time (my stomach caught bad virus...)
but here you are:

The final version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzY5Y6vBo7k
Go and propagate folks!

[svenskmand]

Nice work, I will put it on the websites about page

But where did the bullets go in the listing of features on the last part of text?

Edit: here it is

Edit^2: What software did you use to make the video? Anything open source you can recommend?

[timong]

Cool!
I didnt notice the bullets sorry, i was looking at the words...well, I think its okay after all, all the folks who will visit the site can have a structured understanding of whats going on in the wiki...

Well, i was doing it with the free for m$ win live movie maker, but i think what qubodup uses well is a fine open source alternative http://www.kdenlive.org/

soon I'm going to get you the flac versions of the background tracks...
