There's only two of them and both are working on other projects?

True but frankly I'd imagine a few Yak Yakers could put the actual vid together.

...So I quickly made up and uploaded a silly and poor quality SG introduction video today. It's very silly. Don't look at me. I know others can do lots better. Arggggggh

It's basically "Boi Bumba 1 min guide" targeting people(and reviewers) who didn't read "how to play" and tutorials at all. It's a shame so many people haven't unlocked this achievement.

I usually recommend newcomers to SG to get Boi Bumba first before the tutorial, so this video reflects my view. With at least one "Power Zone/Bulling Attack" experience, the tutorial mode is easier to understand.

It's a good idea, but I think the text needs to stay on screen longer, and have an arrow pointing directly at the item concerned on-screen.

Thanks for your feedback

When I'll make another(probably more tutorial like one) I'll make the text stay longer and find a way to display an arrow.

/me wondering how to spread this video...This is the only gaming forum(in English) I regularly visit, so I'm not sure where to post about it.

Once you've finished it and most are happy with it, post about it in a new thread in here and I'm sure a few of us will whore it to the usual games news sites.

One more thing - if possible, make it higher resolution as that youtube clip is a bit messy due to their heavy compression.

Tried to get better visual quality...

mmm....it's complicated

Nice vid, I hope you add to it. This is exactly what I was meaning

The quality's great, but the text is difficult to see.

Are you able to give the text a dark outline?
That will make it stand out more.

Notes to self... I need to give the text a darker outline.

I think I now have a basic idea for a Power Zone tutorial... It'll take some more time to implement(I need to *draw* some pics), but I guess it needs to be done.

If you need some help doing any bits for a tutorial vid I'm happy to give you a hand fuwafuwa.

I was going to put some bits together myself, but I'm lazy and a forum project is always good fun.
