I just finish to make a nice N video about the first BluePretzel's episode. I also thanks Swipenet for the demo. It took me a lot of time because it was the first time i use this kind of programs but i'm proud of the result. The concept was to show "how look N game" in one episode.
So if you want to do discover this game at your friends send him the link ^^. Please have a look and comment on the video or in this tread. Don't forget to read the description !

0 constructive comment ? I know that my video isn't perfect but please leave a little advice after you watch it. I will learn for making other N videos, but without advice it's difficult to do better...

It's nicely done, but I'm not sure what you can do differently next time. The only thing I'd say is that the framerate is a bit choppy but I don't know if it's easy to improve that.

I can change the "zoom", the music or sound, make slow motion or accelerated some parts, completly change title and animation for the title, transitions between levels, add some animation effect with colours, blur, distortion,...

Hum i also noticed that little "lag" with the framerate but I do not know from where that came from. It suppossed to be 30 ips.

Anyways thanks for commenting ^^

Okay i'm gonna threw some knowledge i got from making my video http://forum.droni.es/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=6311
First of all, the quality sucks. It's because your computer is slow to record full 800*600 pixels large fragment of screen with 30fps (mine is slow, too). So this is what i did: i recorded the game in underclock -20, then in video editing program (in my case, Sony Vegas), i set it to 183% speed to get realtime speed which plays smooth.
Another thing, i didn't like the beginnings of maps, where the ninja was just hanging in the air while the text disappears. I think people are capable to read that while ninja is already playing.
I didn't like that you showed the 'outside' of playing area, i mean time, map name and author, that right panel with 'Score time' and 'Grid'. Just make it so they aren't visible, i think it's better that way.

Thanks for comment Vankuss. I'm making a new video now and your trick with the underclock work perfectly. I will follow your other advices like put the text during the ninja is playing and hide information on the frame, this is clever advices ^^
I have already see your video and post a comment on youtube, but against excellent work !
