The title and many of my recent posts say it all.
With Bigfoot and Endless Dreamer's offers, I may as well throw my services in the ring too.
I can mostly do this on weekends, but it is not a problem.
Just let me know what you want shown.
If you are uncomfortable giving out your passwords you can always just make a special cut scene as an opening an it would be easy on both of us.
30 second mpgs are easy to download. As they reach a minute some people get left out.
I have some 3 and 4 minute stuff I am trying to figure out what to do with, but that's off topic...
That's three of these services now.
What will be next?
Peace.

Perfect!! ;D I was planning to get some to make screenshots for my new game once I'm ready, and (maybe) a short video.

This is a big help, bro ;D

I just checked my PC and I still have your Technical Demo and Pandoras Box files, so if you want to send a description of anything you'd like shots or videos of, just ask!
Peace.

I don't know if being that predictable is a good thing or a bad thing!

When do you think you'll be done with the videos for my new demo? And, did you get my email about it?

Post by Rodak on Dec 13, 2005 3:51:24 GMT -5
Ummm...
I am terrible about checking my email.
It is just not part of my routine.
So, no. I did not yet, but shall check it as soon as I'm done this post.
I thought you were just sending the VFX Guide Submission and figured it would be safe there until I check it. I get little spam because I don't use the email often at all, so it should be safe.
But to answer your question directly, This weekend. I usually reserve screenshooting for weekends as it requires a major shuffling of hardware and that's when I have the most time.
I have other shots to take this weekend too, so I'll let you know as soon as it's ready.
Sorry if you told me you were sending a game too and I missed it, I really don't recall hearing about this until just now!
Peace.
===== EDIT: =====
OK I got the emails...
The game file was fine, but my 'puter doesn't like the wordpad file for the VFX Editor Article. It won't open the file and I have wordpad! I do not understand why, but all I get is squares and other symbols.
Maybe send it as text (in the body of an email or something) (but let me know it's coming!!) or as a notepad file.
There is plenty of time as I don't plan on starting the VFX guide until the weekend after this coming one.
Again, sorry if I missed you telling me you were sending the game for screenshots. But I am always doing many things at once when online and that may be why I missed it. It is definitely why I do not often check my email.
Anyway... I understood the instructions and shall create the movie as requested!
Peace.
<><><><><><> EDIT AGAIN!: <><><><><><>
Nevermind... It opened with the Word Processor this 'puter came with... I always just use notepad! This was the first time I opened the word processor on my new-fangled machine!!
I'm old and set in my ways...
(The real reason is that notepad opens in a matter of seconds while what used to be Microsoft Word but now appears to Microsoft Works Word Processor takes minutes and has to go through a Task Launcher and is just a pain so I ignore it.)
Sorry for the false alarm.
Peace.

One last thing, I'd rather have a video or two instead of screenshots. You'll see why once you play it. It's almost all cutscenes. And, thank you very much for soing this for me!! And, I can re-send the VFX thing if you need me to.

Post by Rodak on Dec 14, 2005 5:02:56 GMT -5
Gotcha.
I'll just take a couple screen shots to use as picture links to the videos.
And I already saved the VFX Thing in a Notepad file for ease of use. But thanks for offering.
Peace.

William Kirk's Solemn Truth mpg files have been posted!!
Check the Paladin Board for them.
From the point of view of the guy making the promo video I have an observation:
During the last fight I had a new ability I could not demo for the mpg file because of lack of "MP" (I forget what he called it). There should have be another "MP" item handy for the demo.
If anyone wants these made for themselves, it may be wise to add some of this stuff to my inventory should you choose to password protect your file. You will get better videos that way.
I just like to make the best possible product and this seemed like a good tip for you to help me give you better stuff.
Peace.

you know, i think i may have to look this service of yours, Rodak. i'm planning on putting out a second demo for Spirit Saga II: The Yamikon Chronicle once i do the second dungeon, and that'll probably be my last demo until the full game.
so expect a request from me sometime maybe in a week or two, once i do my second demo.

OK.
Next weekend I'll be doing some work on my VFX guide. Then I get two 3-day-work-weeks in a row for The Solstice and Perihelion, so the timing is good.
Peace.

If you would be so kind as to do mine as well that would be great I just started working on it, it's "RPGM2VGVMMM" That stands for: Roll Playing Game Maker Two VideoGame-Video Mecha Mage Movie. I have most of chapter one done. And being as its a movie, you could literally make it a movie for even those that don't have rpgm2. I wasn't really planning for you to do this atleast not quite yet but I couldn't help but put it up. It kinda starts right away with it in the first chapter and your not given any background, this being that there will be a title screen with story info and chapter select that isn't yet made. So if ya wanna make it into a movie of what I have so far that would be AWESOME!!!! Also Z:Triforce I have no screens at all for, so if your REALLY ambitious sometime I'ld like to get a shot of things like the octorok and like-like in battle. Oh in my Z:T Teaser their a secret right when you open the menu press R3 or was it L3? either and it will unlock most all the weapons. So a shot of the item select menu and stuff would be cool. Thanks a lot I owe ya one ;-) Oh you might be wondering where to get em lol: us.codejunkies.com/saves_showmaxdrive.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&g=587&st=CYou'll probably have to copy and paste the link.

This was a very busy weekend here and I did not get to do much playing at all. I did not even get to finish my Genesis Chronicles game and review!
I usually reserve this service for weekends, but I'll see if anything can be done before work during the week.
If not, both sets will be ready for next weekend!
Work weeks can be hectic and make side projects difficult.
One of these days I should just rearrange the house so that these machines are all together... but then I'd have to stop burning incense while making games (No smoke of any kind in the Good Computer's Room)!
Peace.

OK, I have just downloaded all three requests.
I ran a little behind writing a review and wanted to finish that before moving on.
Smurf asked first, but if the movie thing is really just a movie then it may go first because it is easier.
Expect to see stuff in your respective forums tomorrow morning!
Peace.

With all my current projects going on here and in terms of home improvement I am officially giving notice of a short hiatus on this service.
Next weekend will be my last until I finish the first draft of the VFX Editor Guide.
So get those requests in now if you want anything before the middle of February.
I have some to make today to finish up Nash and Smurf's requests.
I can always refresh outdated temporary links, that takes no effort. But I want to focus on the guide for a while and I can foresee this service getting in the way.
It's only a couple weeks, but I wanted to give formal notice in case someone was planning on making a request at that time.
Peace.

Well I just wanted to ask you, if once I make my full game/movie if ya wanted to do the whole thing?! It won't be finished until probably waaay after the mid of feb anywho, but I thought I'ld ask. This way those w/o rpgm2 and all the other stuff can still view my work. I'll just need the files once and they can be parsed wherever. I'll combine them into a complete movie at home and find a hosting site for it and all that. Please?!?!?!?!

My internet is moving incredibly slowly and I can't upload anything (I keep "Timing Out").
Everything's ready, but will have to wait until later for uploading.
This is becoming a regular thing on weekend afternoons.
Blame my ISP.
Oh yeah, Nash; making huge files is not a problem on this end, but people have complained about file size before (they can't download it all) so I try to limit it for their sakes. It's up to you.
Peace.
