For the mods, admins, and devs.

So I sent watsumoto a message asking him if he could use the trailer I recently made. He said he would like a thread to explain how we should present it. I think it should be on the home page of the site so it will catch more attention. But what do you guys think?

Well obviously we can use it on sites we put the game on, as a "bitfighter trailer #2", if people want to see more, which they probably will. We could change the "screenshots" tab on our website to a "media" tab, and put it there. Since we already have a video section on our front page, it would work well there as well.

I still think we should leave it on the home page. So upon stumbling on the site. They can instantly get a good idea of how the game is.

Don't forget youtube!

Also I think Bitfighter should be put on the Chrome Web Store!

good idea opti i cant see any reason this would be a bad idea.

We would probably won't be able to put Bitfighter on the the Chrome Web Store because it would cost way too much money and legal problems.

Erm, isn't the Chrome web store for plugins? Unless Bitfighter can be played in a Chrome plugin I don't think that would work.

It's for Extensions, Apps, and Themes. Apps just redirect to a webpage. They go on the Apps page on the New Tab page.

Bitfighter isn't an "app"

Chrome apps are still in-browser, to my knowledge.

BF isnt a app yet.................

Well technically, it is an application

yes but its not a ios app yet..........

Fordcars, see this: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/a ... tions/6286 I thought the same thing for a while.

hehe, nice find dude.

But you can use 'App' as an abreviation of 'Application' on a computer

But I totally agree that 'Apps' on mobile devices are very limited compared to 'Applications' on a computer

But you can use 'App' as an abreviation of 'Application' on a computer

I suppose you could but it's misleading. Each word has two very different meanings.

Bitfighter IS an app. Bitfighter is not a web app. It is a standalone app.

APP IS AN ABBREVIATION FOR APPLICATION.

BACK ON TOPIC PEOPLE! We need to figure this out.

... I'm not denying that, I'm just explaining that if you were to use the words interchangeably someone might become confused.

It's really not a big deal though, I'm sure all of us can make the distinction, and like Opti says I think we ought to get back on topic though.

Wait what are we suppost to be talking about again?

Oh.
Sorry Opti but your trailer sucks. But you made something that requires work. Good job!
The problem is:

• Music only supports one taste. Put music that most or everyone would like.
• You need better editing skills to make a good trailer.
• Don't use (slightly )ridiculous stuff. Makes it sound stupid. Plus the words don't even match the gameplay videos.

I think just a simple gameplay video is enough for now. If you want a trailer, you actually need a good editor. Or at least use better music and video and design it better.

Ugh, Lamp.

1. The music is chiptune because bitfighter is guess what? retro themed.
2. WMM Is a fine move editor when all we need is a groified clip show.
3. The "Slightly ridiculous stuff" Is the fawking slogan for bitfighter "Fast, Fun, Frenetic."
4. A gameplay trailer is not going to help.

Oh.

lol that's a great way to start off a constructive criticism post. "Sorry, but you suck!"

Personally, my main turn-off with the video was the poor quality. I realize that's a difficult problem and probably out of Opti's control. It just made the video seem amateur to me, that's all. I did like the editing and music choice though (side note - lamp, how the heck can he pick music that appeals to everyone? isn't music, by definition, a subjective experience?) so Opti, what do you think about remaking the video using some of sam's footage? It's all high quality, he has lots, and I'm pretty sure he'd offer it up to you.

Yeah, I am really sorry about that. The footage I had wouldn't go beyond 240p. And I did use sam's footage.

"remaking the video using some of sam's footage?"
"And I did use sam's footage."

lol

Yeah sure

But watusimoto already made a pretty good trailer with a huge resolution that it doesn't even fit in my screen

Uhh how can it not fit your screen? All media players resize videos...

Yeah I resize it with VLC

ON TOPIC PLZ

ON TOPIC PLZ

That wasnt on topic.

how about making BF a online game, it would have more appeal as not having to lowdown something and yes i know it would be a ton of work......

We might need to use sprites and, without a fancy plugin, would be very slow and require lots of CPU/GPU

Yeah I resize it with VLC

Um... All media players play the video to have the video fit on the screen. Same with image viewers.

Not VLC dude!

GUYS! We need to figure this out! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE TRAILER!?

Leave it on Youtube and let it be.

Leave it on Youtube and let it be.

My channel isn't well known at all. It will get no where there.

Leave it on Youtube and let it be.

My channel isn't well known at all. It will get no where there.

So that's how it's gonna be.

online BF?

Leave it on Youtube and let it be.

So that's how it's gonna be.

Lamp. Do you want more members on bitfighter? Or not? We need to put it somewhere.

[Little_Apple]

sooooooooooo... your trailer is the only way to get new players?

[bobdaduck]

No of course not. But it will certainly help.

[Little_Apple]

TheTechnoBroz number of subscribers: 14 (opti's channel)
BitfighterVideo number of subscribers: 18

Neither of these channels are what most would call... popular. Putting the video on youtube wouldn't be the greatest thing to happen to bitfighter. Posting it anywhere on the site wouldn't do much good seeing as how one of the biggest goals of a trailer would be to get people to actually visit the site that we are advertising. By no means am i against using a trailer, I'm just trying to say that it wouldn't do much.

[Santiago ZAP]

How about putting it on a youtube ad?
no.
We just need to expand BitFighter, Play more active, invite friends, make our own contests inviting other people! I dont know, but youtube things would NUT work

Why wouldn't Youtube videos work? Maybe not as an advertisement, but as a social media tool. It's a lot easier to convince a friend to play a game they can watch and marvel at on a web page than having to download it and sit in an empty server waiting for someone to join.

[Santiago ZAP]

I mean youtube videos work
not the ads
everyone hates youtube ads
